How My Startup Spent $46,548.47 in One Month
Every 9-12 months, a batch of trend setters go to college and a new thing is emerges in a group that loves new things.
Keep your eyes peeled for the stuff we are going to announce next Wednesday :D
Our goal is literally to try, through the expenditure of money, to make sure she gets more success per unit of her own effort and ambition than other children do. How is that anything other than unfair? I'm not ashamed of it, but that doesn't mean I need to pretend it's fair and just.
hm, has the producthunt community seen this?
I still feel sports stats has a lot of room for disruption. Stats.com is the leader in the space but their feeds are incredibly expensive. I think if a competitor could get the reliability of data as Stats has achieved but with a much, much lower cost they could dominate the space pretty easily.
Does DEFCON pay him to run these?

It's actually quite simple - Silicon Valley nowdays is an engine of money making, not technological progress. Those two values are correlated with each other, albeit not perfecly, and I'd hazard a guess that they are becoming more and more disconnected. So SV is optimizing for profit, and it's easier to make money by doing stupid throwaway stuff than by doing something actually useful.

Also things seem to have changed in the last few years; profit and usefulness are becoming visibly more disconnected. Startups nowdays lie about their "products" - the goal of New App X is not to be useful for you (the user/customer). Any actual use is a lie used to get userbase growth. When the "product" has enough users, it gets slaughtered, the team lands dream jobs, money changes hands, and everyone except the users is happy.
You forgot to take out the 16% they spent on grants, the 9% on fundraising, the 9% on grant making and development.
> This was the turning point for the company. Gebbia shared that the team initially believed that everything they did had to be ‘scalable.’ It was only when they gave themselves permission to experiment with non-scalable changes to the business that they climbed out of what they called the ‘trough of sorrow.’

The place where everything changed is where the company literally started disregarding the concept of design (not saying it's a bad strategy, but afaict the entire point of design is to be forward thinking before you actually do something). It seems, if anything, becoming less designed saved them.
> I want to like GO but a language that targets native development but still uses garbage collection just seems like an odd pairing to me.

Why? I don't see what is weird about that combination. Garbage collection is usually something that is used in high-level languages, and high-level languages might as well be natively compiled as opposed to interpreted, running on a vm, etc.

If anything, C/++ seems like the odd pair out with their more manual memory management among native languages.
Problem is, web apps that require low-latency realtime requirements are not that uncommon. Think about anything related to trading or bidding. Of course, if the plans are to be believed, then a guarantee that the GC doesn't exceed X ms is good for soft real-time requirements, which is often enough.

> The one outlier report I mentioned was of GC randomly stopping processing for several minutes, which clearly isn't within the bounds of acceptable response time for web apps

That's not acceptable for any kind of app and the problem gets bigger the more heap memory you have. The sweat spot for GC enabled apps seems to be 4 GB - anything bigger than that and one should prepare for surprises.
What about any situation where you don't have reception?

I would not worry about telling your kid they can be who they want to be. It's actually a great message.

Yes, it's true that your kid might want to be an astronaut, but not get selected. Or the President, and not get elected. That's ok--when they get to that point in their life, they will understand what's going on. As a kid, they don't understand, so it's better to give them license to dream.

Also, maybe they won't want to be President. My brother always wanted to be a musician; now he's living a hard, low-salary life as a professional musician. He gave up a lot typical "upper class" success metrics like house, family, manager job, nice car, etc.--but he's really happy.

So, telling your kid they can be who they want to be can give them license to be someone who's a bit outside the social norms of success. Heck maybe they will grow to be someone who wants to work to improve education and social mobility.
Any ideas on how they arrived at the expected numbers?
Precisely. This is an especially important point in response to the oft-repeated "just use pools if you want to avoid the GC in a GC'd language" fallacy.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. We ship out around 6pm every night. We have a lot to do today!
I think you need to pay a lot of money to actually license the stats from the various sports leagues, which is why they charge so much for the feeds.
I am not surprised they are pulling the plug on this. The fine print read that api users could not monetize their apps.

> and no pauses (if cycles are ignored)

Actually, even without cycles the destruction time is in general unbounded. Just think what happens when you allocate a very long linked list one element at a time and then drop the head. With a bit of ill luck or intention, you can make each element be allocated from a different page with enough different pages so that they fall out of the TLB. In that situation, even without having pages written out to disk, you can expect each element to take ~ a thousand cycles to free. On a million element list, that's ~500ms for freeing the head.
I would think you could get away with using (ip, user-agent) to, fairly reliably, recreate a cookie. It seems like it would be pretty rare for a user to clear their cookies _and_ get a new IP address at the same time.
Definitely need to work on the pitch a bit. Thanks, this will put the fire under me to get around to cleaning that up. Appreciate the kind words!
All this actually presupposes that you can get rid of illegal immigrants, otherwise anyone who does not get the BLS (for whatever reason) will essentially earn a fraction of the money the recipients get. Why? Well for one thing his wages by means of taxation have to pay the BLS to everyone else. Secondly if he has children, they probably don't get BLS either, and he has to pay for them out of a minimum wage, too, which a BLS recipient doesn't need to do.

>>Their counter-parts, born into well-off families, on the other hand, have a great shot at ending up at the upper end of the income spectrum.

Not only that, but they have a great shot at ending up there even if they make big mistakes, including things like rape and even murder. This is the total opposite of the under-privileged, whose lives can be ruined after a small mistake, such as carrying a few ounces of weed on their person.

3 ways to squash burnout and boost productivity

Nobody chooses which family he/she is born into, and nobody ever will. Each of us is randomly awakened, empty and dumb, on this Earth into a specific family and community outside our choosing, with its own mentors and values. This group will fill us with thoughts for 18 years. So yes, it is unfair that some of us are awakened to find we are poor, without good mentors or educators, and will be hindered for the rest of our lives. Unless society embraces something akin to complete communism or a Brave New World, which to me sounds incredibly boring, this will always be the case. We can't completely solve this issue at an individual level. But the problem is not just an individual problem. The path from rags to riches rarely happens in one generation.

Consider the family as an institution that competes with other families for life's rewards. There are going to be differences in values between families with 10M and families with 10K. Each family will prioritize life's rewards differently, whether that be riches, a passionate vocation, strong relationships, travel and experience, etc. When looked at from the unit of the family, why would we not want to financially reward families that acquire riches more than those that don't? As long as we can maintain a balance, where an individual who so strongly wants to escape their birth family and make it on their own can do so, isn't this the right thing to do?

Hey the watchers variable is dependent upon the number of people actually watching videos. We were making a TON of calls to our ad networks at the peak of the HN craze, but not all the videos were coming through. That is why the viewer variable was all screwy. Lots of work ahead, appreciate the constructive criticism!
That't a feature, not a bug. It all makes sense when you realize that the "products" are all throwaway, their only reason to exist is to get many people onboard fast, so that the company can be sold for lots of money (the product usually gets killed at this point; users are only score, why would anyone care about them anway).
Delayed gratification never gets talked about enough. It is the heart of capitalism. It's also, without a doubt, the most important contributor to success.

But, I don't think it's fair to say it has to come from inside the person somewhere. Obviously, you're right in the literal sense, as you can't impose delayed gratification on a free adult. But, that doesn't mean its inherent in someone's genetics. I think the far more likely reality is that people learn delayed gratification by watching those around them. Even if you do have some preternatural foresight as a child, it's extremely difficult to see how delayed gratification makes you successful in life if you never see anyone that's successful due to their practice of delaying gratification.

This cuts across wide social divides as well. I grew up in a wealthy family, in a wealthy suburb and had wealthy friends. Everyone had wildly successful parents. Guess which kids ended up losers (and there are a lot of them)? The ones whose parents were too busy with their careers and placated their guilt by trying to buy their children's happiness. These were the kids who got everything they wanted, any time. These were also the first kids to smoke, try drugs, have sex, and play video games instead of do homework or go to football practice. Now these people are working minimum wage jobs, if they're working at all. The few who used their family connections to get into sales gigs, or similar, are generally broke. They make a little bit of money, then blow it all in a weekend.

I can only imagine how this effect is amplified growing up in the lower socio-economic classes. My friends at least knew people that became successful, and saw that it was possible. I'm sure it's easy to think that improving your life is impossible if you'd never met anyone who did it, or if your parents, family, and friends were impoverished, or alcoholics, or drug addicts.
Also my point about not being able to stop immigration is indeed debateable. In fact it's debated very hotly in lots of countries. And not a single country is achieving any success in this regard, no matter how strong the motivation. Look at the US and Canada and their undocumented immigrants. Already, immigration enforcement in these countries is causing more trouble than it is supposedly worth.
Chris Dixon does a great job at explaining vesting schedules for founders and employees http://cdixon.org/2009/04/21/founder-vesting/.

If he feels like a co-founder then you should be able to have a conversation with him about equity; if things go poorly then the partnership was never meant to be. Use this as an opportunity to discuss commitments and expectations; will he quit his job? how about cover costs?

Some people suggest that equity should be awarded based on set milestones, but I think this strategy makes people feel more like employees than co-founders.

"McSema translates x86 machine code into LLVM bitcode.

"Why would we do such a crazy thing?

"Because we wanted to analyze existing binary applications, and reasoning about LLVM bitcode is much easier than reasoning about x86 instructions.

"Not only is it easier to reason about LLVM bitcode, but it is easier to manipulate and re-target bitcode to a different architecture."
I think you should add some screenshots that showcase your features for those who are interested to visit your site but not interested enough to sign up without getting a clear idea or a taste of what this is about and how it is better.
The hard question is why they want to do these things.

It's tempting to chalk it up to lack of character or some innate shortcoming, but I think there is growing evidence that external factors can have a large effect on a person's personality, particularly in the first few years of life.
Kids aren't stupid. They can draw inferences about how the world works from their surroundings. They see their single mom working hard and getting nowhere, and can draw inference about what that means.
I really really really wish I'd lived in Tokyo at that time. This was slightly after the bubble had reached its 'hookers and blow' phase where something like a fifth of the buildings in midtown Manhattan were owned by companies in Japan.
The bubble had burst, but society hadn't caught up to it.

Look at all the accessories coming you could get for the PC Engine (Turbo Graphics 16), and how they all hooked up, were powered, and what it took to play some of these games. All this for a consumer device, and NEC expected to turn a profit.

All in all just technology for technology's sake.

That isn't to say he shouldn't have anything going forward. But some %, year cliff, and then vest over the next 3 would let you see the value he brings to the realities of the business.
The correlations can be pretty taxing though, these processes are cheap and client-side.
However, since statistics cannot be copyrighted (at least in the United States), there is significant room for disruption. They only have contract law as a tool to prevent propagation of stats.
I don't know how any definition of "fair opportunity" encompasses getting a better outcome than someone else despite putting in the same amount of effort,[1] just because your parents had money.

[1] I had "effort and intelligence" here, but I don't think "intelligence" belongs. Our human capital is the hours of life that we are given here on this earth. Free will is what we choose to do with those hours. Getting a better outcome from the same hours of labor, just because of the composition of your parents' DNA, isn't fair. It might be natural and inevitable, but that doesn't mean it's fair.
Yes, it worries me that Cloudflare is proxying an ever larger number of websites I visit. It is not so easy to dump Cloudflare when you need it though. They mitigate DDoS attacks, handle large volume traffic. I think moot even said that he'd have to close 4chan if it wasn't for Cloudflare.
Note that this thread discusses the "I actually want to scroll to the top" use case, which might take a while for long pages. People in that estimate that this is a Common Thing you want to do.

The GP complains about being _required_ to scroll to the top to reach the address bar/the tabs, which is plain wrong (but might be a case of bad discoverability?).
If third-party scripts are used to perpetrate these ever-cookie exploits, then the NoScript extension in Firefox may be effective against them. With NoScript, you can block Javascript on a site-by-site basis. Many websites are quite functional even when you disable much of the third-party Javascript that they rely on (Javascript fetched from domains other than the one matching that site). For instance, I've never had a problem with any site that uses Javascript from Google Analytics, even though I block it.
> Does Java give any guarantees about garbage collection latency?

Java has multiple JVMs and garbage collectors available.

The concurrent GC (CMS) in Oracle's JVM doesn't give any guarantee. The new G1 GC in Oracle's Java 7 does provide guarantees while trying to minimize STW pauses. Azul Systems' Pauseless GC is advertised as being completely pauseless, though it is commercial.

Quite painful is that for small heaps, the more you try to do concurrent garbage collection with small latencies, the more throughput suffers. On the other hand, the more you add memory, the bigger the latency. So depending on the app, the memory layout and its access patterns and the hardware used for deployment, one has to pick a GC strategy, as there's no one size fits all.

Survey: YouTube Stars More Popular Than Mainstream Celebs Among U.S. Teens
Companies borrow money to rebuy shares when their earnings are greater than the interest cost. If your earnings are rock solid, then you earn a return by rebuying your shares. Of course nothing is guaranteed so you need some margin of error.

Interest < Earnings * risk

Not surprisingly, when interest rates are low, companies borrow more money to do this. It's also a feedback cycle where companies pay higher prices to buy their own shares. But it's still worthwhile because money is cheap.

Thus, answering the original question, a market crash won't likely happen until interest rates rise. Recently there have been data that suggests the Fed might be able to raise rates, thus the mini sell off. But there is nothing solid yet. It's not the big scare, but the environment is building that there could be one. Doesn't mean it'll happen though.
I don't think it would really be that hard to solve this from an engineering perspective (see for instance how the Brooklyn bridge was built) its just that anyone with enough money and sense to solve the problem properly is probably to smart to get involved with what IMO is likely a hoax that got out of hand.
Something I've noticed about Clojure code is that people tend to have taken the effort to express a problem in a concise and logical way, even for very complex problems. I'm not sure if it's just because Clojure attracts people who value good code, or because Clojure provides the tools to do it, but it sure is nice. Better to spend an hour on a 5-line function than a 50-line one, if they accomplish the same thing in the end.
Humans are incredibly dynamic organisms. They can adapt to such a wide range of circumstances.

You are going to go on a journey in the next few years. The pregnancy is a step in the journey. Your wife will change physically, emotionally, and cognitively. You will adjust to that.

When the child arrives, you will suddenly find that you are no longer responsible for yourself but that there is this other helpless being that depends on you. You will adapt to that.

You will find that your wife needs you more than ever. It's just one baby, you might think, but it is a huge burden and she shouldn't have to shoulder it alone. You will have to put friendships and career aspirations aside momentarily, but you will adapt to that as well.

Who you are now is a different person than who you will become and so you shouldn't try to optimize for your life 2 years ahead because it is something you can't really picture now.

Do you mean why couldn't you get the same concurrency using multi-threading? You could but that doesn't fit in all environments like node.js. Check out how koa.js can leverage similar concepts to reduce nested callbacks. Also beyond the concurrency the lazy loading aspect can have implications for functional programming techniques.
In this case "blatantly incorrect" meant lies with a likely ulterior motive. Off the top of my head I can't think of any case where this has been an issue on HN, but I have seen it on other forums where marketers try to spin problems with their products.
>'I was able to escape that and do well through hard work.'

I don't doubt it and I agree with every point.

However, I think it's useful to consider this success in terms of your own advantages rather than a observation of others failings.

As a rule, the latter is quite an easy thing to do.

As I've related many times on HN, I too was born into a number of disadvantages, but notable advantages as well.

A strong mother, an older brother who took the brunt of the abuse in our house and was destroyed by it, a supposedly very high IQ, a sympathetic teacher or two, developing a strong interest in technology where one can easily make a career on demonstrated ability alone, and surely many more.

I walked straight and narrow tightrope relative to many people I knew and still found myself on the brink at times. Therefore, I try to not to be quick to judge people who fall - particularly when there's no net.
