That's the wrong interpretation. In math, a 'trivial' or 'clearly' is supposed to indicate that a certain detail is important to understanding the subject. And if it isn't clear or trivial then the reader is expected to delve deeper before moving on.

The "big problem" is that math is taught in a restricted time scale - a semester, just like all other standard courses. In reality it might take someone many weeks or months to pick up a certain piece of measure theory or hilbert spaces. Math builds upon itself and when it is rushed there is a lack of connection and then ultimately failure to understand.

This is why MOOCs are a great boon for many, as they allow more freedom to self-dictate the pace.
I've been following the consumer storage space closely because of my startup Snapatr. Dropbox was probably forced to do this because their growth rate was slowing down. Merging all the plans and charging $99/year for 1 TB was a pretty smart move as the can amortize the cost of people who are going to use the full 1 TB against the people who are using say 50GB of space. I'm guessing the reason we haven't heard about Dropbox's IPO recently is because of slowing growth rates. The new pricing plan was to spur growth rates at the cost of revenue. Ideally you want to be ensuring consistent growth rates pre-IPO. It is unlikely we'll be hearing about Dropbox's IPO in 2014/2015 because of the intense competition, reduced profitability and slowing growth rates.

They're expensive, complicated, failure-prone and proprietary. But then again, so are some high-security door locks.

Honestly it's probably just the industry wants to keep its separate businesses which adds up to more money. People sell rfid fobs separate from their high-security keys while cars combine the two. There's no reason you couldn't take the ECU out of a Lexus, wire it up to an arduino, plug it into a wall, attach a solenoid to a door lock and weld the lock cylinder of the car into a door handle. Since modern Lexus keys act as RFIDs when their batteries die it should be mostly fail proof.

Honestly, I came across Square Cash first, liked it, and have stuck with it.

I've since taken a look at Venmo, and I prefer the fact that Square Cash has the absolute minimum of features. No Square Cash Balance (all payments go directly bank account to bank account), no social feed, no social integration.

Vehicle Repossession
If you’re being late with payments for your car, or in some of states, if you don’t have appropriate auto insurance, your vehicle could be taken away from you. When you finance a car, your creditor has a range of important rights that ends once you’ve paid off your loan. These rights come up due to the contract you’ve signed and the laws of your particular state.
For instance, if you don’t make the payments in time, your creditor has the right to “repossess”, that is to say to take back your car without the court interference and without any warning. Your creditor also may be able to sell your contract to an assignee, who can possess the same right to make use of the car as the original creditor.
I built this game in the beginning of my career as a Javascript developer. I built a sort of custom rendering engine for drawing on the screen.

Ah yes, here we go, war criminal. Same with nearly 100 Senators and much of the House at that time who voted for the Patriot Act and war.
Tel I have no idea why, but your reply is dead. It is a good answer, however, and provides me with food for thought.
Apple's strategy has never been to create products just for kicks and kill them off later. They spend a lot of time thinking about what they should be making, and focus just on that.

I trust that iCloud, in some iteration, will be around for as long as people are buying iMacs and iPhones.

Microsoft, miraculously, has been changing their spots lately, but I expect Windows Live Folders – I mean, Windows Live Skydive – or wait, just Skydive – er, I mean Onedrive – will be around in some iteration. What that will mean, though, is another question. They killed off Games for Windows Live pretty unceremoniously, and now Dark Souls, among other games, just straight up won't work properly. You can't save your game if you aren't connected to Games for Windows Live, which you can't do, retroactively crippling third party games.

So for throwing my documents onto so that they still exist after I wipe my Windows machine for the Nth time, Skydive is great, but I don't yet trust them to change direction/focus and ruin any plans businesses have made around them.

Google… well, they've cancelled enough stuff that I can't trust them with anything important related to business or lifestyle both.

EDIT: Added that roaming onto Verizon is no cost for Ting.
Is WebRTC a fully baked spec though? I was under the assumption that it's still experimental.
Well, this is partly true. But this is a consequence of the fact that Google has a lot of other ways to make money than Google Drive -- like, say, those Chromebooks. (Does Google actually make money on Chromebooks? Google kinda baffles me, they have more 'loss leaders' than they do revenue sources, even though the sheer amount of revenue those sources produce means they're still totally profitable. Anyway.) Dropbox makes money on Dropbox storage. That's it.
> regulations exist because society has decided its interests are better served by making folks play by a certain set of rules than by hitting peak market efficiency or whatever

This is technically correct, but is forgetting that society is often wrong about what serves its interests.

For some popularly unpopular examples: homosexual marriage being illegal, a drug war instead of drug treatment programs, putting fluoride (a neurotoxin) in the water.

Edit: those are current laws, for more popularly unpopular laws see slavery, the 18th amendment, the banning of blood transfusions, etc, etc

It may be worth clarifying the sort of "speed" we're talking about here.

An IMO takes place over two days. On each day the candidates get a question paper with three questions on it. They have 4.5 hours to attack the questions. The threshold for getting a gold medal might be roughly equivalent to getting five of the six problems more or less completely solved.

The questions are always of the form "prove X" -- maybe occasionally "prove or disprove X, whichever is possible" or "find quantity X, with proof"; but it's always a matter of finding proofs -- where X is something no more than a few lines long.

So it's "speed math" in comparison with actual academic mathematical research, which typically takes place on a timescale from weeks to years and where there's no guarantee that any human-accessible solution exists. But it's a whole lot slower than pretty much anything else these (roughly) 16-19-year-olds are being asked to do in mathematics.

And, empirically, it does turn out that people who do well in IMOs tend to do pretty well in mathematical research, and in other mathematical things they put their minds to. (But yes, of course there are kinds of genius that have nothing to do with mathematics, and kinds of impressiveness that have nothing to do with genius; and there are plenty of first-rate researchers who never took to IMO-like problem-solving.)

(Random example of an IMO question, from this year's IMO, to give an idea of what a typical X looks like: "For each positive integer n, the Bank of Cape Town issues coins of denomination 1/n. Given a finite collection of such coins (of not necessarily different denominations) with total value at most 99+1/2, prove that it is possible to split this collection into 100 or fewer groups, such that each group has total value at most 1.")

To be clear, this isn't really intended as a service for the HN crowd... just wanted to get some feedback on a quick/dirty product we put together. We're doing a writeup later about our plans for it, but the long and short is that we've built this as more of a proof of concept/market and we're going to automate some things and add features during our redesign over the rest of the year.
I didn't downvote, but it wasn't a productive comment -- it was just snarky and condescending.

I don't think this is front-page worthy of HN, sure, but anytime someone at Google/Dropbox/Apple does so much as pass gas, people around here get excited.

Although I agree with the basic premises - equal pay for equal work, employee should get the benefits of lower cost of living - I think it is the employer's business in more ways than one. Taxes, time zone, internet connection - many things could come into play. Not to mention the golden handcuffs it could create if the employee is drastically overpaid for their local market.
Maybe the average key milling machine can't do it, but a general-purpose mill could. And for less than the cost of a 3D printer that can make strong finely detailed parts, you could buy a decent sized CNC machining center that could make keys (or anything else) out of real actual metal. For a tenth of the cost (or about the cost of a hobby printer), you can get a manual machine and do it by hand.

Imho the "Google Services as blocker" is way worse than it's normally recognized:

If you want to use a faux-taxi or similar service, Lyft, Sidecar, Flywheel and Uber all need the Google Play Services to work.

The sad thing, is that Sidecar is available on the Amazon store, but since there's no way to explicitly state the dependency of an application on Google's libraries, it will just crash at installation/runtime with a segfault (due to not being able to load a .so)

Only after going back to a device with the Google services I realized that you can actually use Uber from your mobile browser (it's at m.uber.com, but if you visit uber.com from your mobile there're no prominent links that point to the former)

You might be right. The traffic share of ipads is in the one digit range. I just looked at the stats of a high traffic website. The ipad accounts for 5% of the traffic.

However, when I want to look at a website to see how the designer planned it, I always grasp my ipad and look at it.

Because even if he planned it for Chrome on the desktop (which accounts for 50% on that website) I dont know the OS, the resolution, if he thoguht about a keyboard, a mousewheel, a mouse grasping the scroolbar or the trackpad of a notebook having a scroll area.

But yeah, the world of devices is pretty fragmented. Looking at an ipad doesn't mean too much.
i don't think it's going to work. google had gvoice for years and marketed it with free phone calls and voicemails, and it didn't take off. i had a similar project 5~6 years ago, which fell apart. my conclusion is that free call is not attractive at all to general public. if you are competing again telcomms (excluding MIM apps), you need a product that is 10x better, and "free" is not a magic word. or, find your niche!

I talked to a Microsoft guy who has a patent in his name, but was now kind of embarrassed about it. He said that he didn't have much leeway when he first started there. So in this case the decision came from his superiors.
The minimum threshold is IE10 since nothing prevents you from using the old spec which was implemented in that release:

https://gist.github.com/acdha/a91a46706de02c37566a

This is a little tedious but a CSS preprocessor makes it pretty easy and you only need to do it once for something this simple.

Since Microsoft is pushing automatic upgrades to IE11 hard for security reasons, I see over 80% of our users having a browser which supports flexbox. At that point, it's a manageable problem because you can deploy http://flexiejs.com/ for the people who are prevented by corporate policy from upgrading.

On the contrary , to me it's good to see a relaxed p-value cutoff being reported, as opposed to self censorship for being barely on the wrong side of the completely arbitrary 5% cutoff. Occuring in the 8% tail is still unlikely to occur by chance, enough to call for replication with a bigger sample.

OneDrive for business is like $2.5 / user / month for 1 TB... Which is still a much better deal then Dropbox.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them buy up a company like Backblaze. It seems like a reasonable fit; Dropbox is already moving from document sync to 'all your stuff' sync. Adding straight-up backup would be a logical next step, and Backblaze has a huge amount of experience designing, building, and managing massive storage infrastructure.

The biggest difference with Backblaze would seem to be that their service can easily assume minimal reads; besides the backup index, the vast majority of their disk usage is probably one-time writes, plus the occasional massive bulk read.

That's not a guarantee they can make, since they're suggesting you share the link that contains your email address in order for people to call you.

Is your work the same number of hours as others put in doing other stuff? Does anyone else get paid for their work?

If the organization has funds, it should pay for its hosting/domain name. If you are paying, ask if you can put a "Created by" link on the homepage. In the US, that would be enough to count your payment as an expense and deducted against taxes.

Also, in the US, if this was a 501c3 non-profit, you might be able to have your work count as a donation that you could deduct. Not sure if there's an equivalent in India.

I love Unix pipelines, but chances are your data is structured in such a way that using regex based tools will break that structure unless you're very careful.

You know that thing about not making HTML with regexs? Same rule applies to CSV, TSV, and XLSX. All these can be created, manipulated and read using Python, which is probably already on your system.
I do not have a need of 1TB of space, just 100GB would do. It would be great if they provided a tier of 100GB plan (just like Google Drive)
Thank you for the feedback.

Some peoples told me about Color, but we are a bit different. We don't want to include social stuff like messaging between authors and comments. Keep the app simple, and see what users wants.

We have a new feature is coming. Imagine you are an event hoster, you create an event on ICU and you get an ICU link, people take picture with the app on your event, and in live you will see all the pictures on the link. The cool thing is that peoples would like to retrieve their photos, so they need to have ICU installed.

You're right if nobody is around you, the app isn't very useful. We have couple of cities like Montreal, NYC and Paris.

You’re afraid to lose friends by bugging them about your startup. Those people aren’t your friends make new ones who want to see you succeed.

This is bordering on a cult mentality. And not just in the weaselly framing of what it means to "see you succeed."

Asking friends is fine, favors are things people do for eachother. But imposing on them because you prioritize your business over their friendship is another. If you're straining a social relationship just to improve your business, you're most likely the bad friend.
