Interesting link. I'm sure there's a lot more to come if what they have is true. But the comment about the popcorn doesn't seem right. Is it entertaining to watch him get dox'ed? Shall we encourage hackers holding info for ransom?
On the other hand, Intel's x86 cores are much faster per-core than its competitors, so core-based licensing could end up being cheaper for the same performance. This could also partly be why Oracle is pushing for many cores in their latest SPARC processors.
You're wrong. Most SMTP requires IP in the header, gmail does not. This causes contempt between certain groups, as while it's a boon for personal privacy, it often hinders investigations.

Here's a video with Mike Hearn giving a talk about spam. At the end and middle are mentions about gmail's lack of IP from sent emails, the end specifically from a network admin expressing his grievances about Google's efforts being a hindrance to law enforcement.

It is , however, standard practice for most SMTP providers to do this.

Yes, but he is royally screwing it up by being such a complete and utter arse about everything.

Also, you can't go and identify religion as being the biggest peril of our age when you have folk like Stalin lurking in the background of the 20th century to suggest that maybe it just might be blind adherence to dogma that is the actual issue here and that atheist political theories are just as susceptible to that particular meme as the religious when it comes to justifying blood with false utopias. I got no problem with people of a book, or not of a book, or whatever. I just have problems with the ones who take it seriously enough to kill over whose interpretation of the unknowable is correct.

And you cannot have a crusade against religious irrationality. A crusade is a religious war. It just doesn't work.
Had a very expensive individual coil mattress for the last 7 years. This year started getting low back pain. Talked to these guys: http://www.originalmattress.com . No gimmicks, just straight dope on how a mattress should work and why theirs do and many others fail. Also it's a local "factory to buyer" direct set - up so there's no phony sales and markups.

I also use a body pillow to put in-between my knees (I've been using a body pillow for most of my adult life) and that sure helps keep my body aligned.

Good luck!

P.S.

if I were a VC, I’d worry much more about Angel List than YC when it comes to A rounds

-- SamA

Completely agreed. Which pretty much kills the entire point of the article.
Actually angel investing was the response to that, individuals who weren't wealthy enough to join a fund and become an LP but had enough disposable assets that if they put $50,000 - $1M at risk it wouldn't ruin their retirement if they lost it all.

One of the things that I haven't read about is what is the 'YC' of movies? In many ways the money in Hollywood is there but there isn't nearly the organization like there is at startup incubators. There are so many corollaries between the two environments I would expect something between the studios and Kickstarter to have emerged by now.
Very cool, does anyone here know the compile time differences to clang/gcc? Does compiling to Emscripten take longer than to binary?
Compiling to asm.js isn't the same thing as compiling to JS. asm.js is just a funny-serialized bytecode. Someday they can trade it out for a sane serialization and hardly anything will blink.
I wonder what the rationale for 18 cores was, since it's a rather unusual number of cores and not a round number - 16 would be the usual choice. Was it just "we can put two more on the die, so let's do that"?
Another PR stunt Google ? No that wont work.

Come on Scotland STAND UP !!!!!!! Go Scotland !!!
> “We are afraid of Google,” wrote Mathias Döpfner, chief executive of Axel Springer

By quoting him the article has directly made itself extremely suspect, since the publishing house Springer owns the biggest and worst fact- and politics-mangling tabloid in germany, Bild.
That guy did a really bad job of blacking out sensitive information. It probably nails the receiver down to only a couple of hundred people.
The relevant bit:

F|R: I read that when you call Y Combinator winners, the founders have only five minutes to accept. ("If people turn us down," he says, "as far as we're concerned they've failed an IQ test.") Have startups turned you down? Are there any that have turned Y Combinator down and still gone on to succeed with a liquidity event?

Graham: You're confusing two separate things. The reason people are supposed to decide quickly whether or not to accept is that they already know everything except the percent we'll ask for. They've already seen the deal terms, and they already know as much as they're going to know about YC before actually working with us. So they should already know when we call what percentage they'd be ok with. Since all they have to do is subtract one integer from another, five minutes should be enough.

The "IQ test" quote refers not to how fast they have to decide, but the amount of equity we usually ask for. In the median case it's 6%. If we take 6%, we have to improve a startup's outcome by 6.4% for them to end up net ahead. That's a ridiculously low bar. So the IQ test is whether they grasp that.

There was one startup that turned us down because they received an acquisition offer during the weekend when we did interviews. It was a pretty good offer. I'd have taken it in their position, and they did. But other than that I don't know of anyone who turned us down and went on to succeed. There have only been about three others who turned us down.
Parallel looping is one of those things I wish was easier to use. Countless times I've stared at my python code weighing the cost of using the available primitives to optimise the loop. I just wish it was as simple as

parallel_for x in range(10):
myFunc(x)

But we can't have everything.

Really didn't want to read past that quote. In one corner you have Jeffrey; he can get into your email and sell your livelihood to the highest bidder. In the other corner you have Satoshi; he delivered to you, for free and without praise, a crucial bit of tech that allows you to regain some control in an increasingly authoritarian world. Ya... what a fool.

> "Security through obscurity" being bad only applies to cryptography, and have no bearing whatsoever to the concept of security in real life.

Why do you believe this? The concept predates widespread use of encryption and originally applied to things like physical locks. Their "security through obscurity" approach was custom mechanisms which were easily defeated shortly after development by determined thieves. This race between security experts (in their various incarnations) and security breakers (again, in their various incarnations) has been going on since the first person tried to secure some property with something more complex than a crossbar on a door. And this race continues, even in the information age, to occur in both the physical and information realms.

I'm a full-stack developer that has recently moved to the Carribean.

I've worked on some big websites including healthcare.gov, experienced across the development lifecycle and able to design, develop, test and deploy.

I'm experienced with product development. Currently working part-time at HackishWord and LFA as a Ruby Dev.

My preferred stack is Rails, Python or Node.js.
DBs/Data store: MongoDB, Redis, MySQL, Postgres,

I've hacked Haskell, Lisp, JavaScript, C++, Perl, Bash, Java, PHP even ASP.NET. If it can be respectably hacked, I've probably hacked it at some point, if not in the line of work, then on my own free time.

Frontend: I especially like Angular.js and Ember. I'm willing to help with graphic design.

Of course, I wasn't going to half-do it if I was gonna replace getopt. I'm with you in that I get annoyed when I run into programs which do just half-done job at a getopt replacement and you can't do the normal stuff like "-df" instead of "-d -f".

And yes, that's pretty much what I'm getting at. The issue really stems down to the fact that getopt_long is just bolted on to getopt, so there's still the string short-opt syntax like "sf:t", and then you duplicate the options in the array of long opts with the chars or some random number > 255 otherwise. The string is really the most annoying part because there's no good way to generate it via the C preprocessor that I could come-up with, leading to some duplication between the long-opts and short-opts. It also can't easily generate help text for you from your arguments, which bugged me. My argument parser basically works off of a single xmacro header that holds all the argument information for getopt (Which gets organized via a few macros into an enum and an array). It's dead simple to add new arguments and there's no duplication or separate strings or etc. that you have to update at the same time besides adding code to handle that argument.

Personally, I wrote my argument parser specifically because I couldn't find any that I was happy with after looking around. They were either clunky to use (getopt_long), or were full libraries and seemed like it would be a hassle to get it integrated into my code. I'd love to see a 'standard' argument parser that works with long options well and doesn't just feel like an afterthought like it does with getopt_long, but I think the chance to make such a thing has been missed. Personally, if I would ever use such a thing then it needs to be a single or just a few .c and .h files that I can stick directly into my program. I wouldn't want to have to bet on the distribution having it or not, and I'm not going to add a separate dependency just for argument parsing.

True and he technically received credit too. I suppose I meant it didn't cost you anything and he's receiving no special attention for it.
I agree that the same principle could bring decision-making down to a highly-localised level, which could actually be a very good thing, but, again, you are just technically wrong to suggest that Scotland is an arbitrary region:

It entered the union as Scotland, legally it is bound to leave the union in the same form. Whether the Shetlanders later decide to push for independence is a separate issue.

As it stands, you've chosen a tough position if you want to argue that Scotland is not a very distinct country. Bear in mind that they already have an entirely separate legal system, consumer laws, NHS, educational system etc. More importantly, they overwhelming self-identify as Scottish, regardless of whether they happen to be voting yes or no in the current referendum.

Wales may push for independence at some point. Perhaps Cornwall might care enough about it too. The most interesting independence question, however, is England: I have yet to meet an Englishman who has a true sense of what his country is or how to square the massive difference between London and the rest of the country.

By the way, you are wrong about the control you think we have. Yes, we get to send MPs down to Westminster, but that did not do a thing to stop the massive moral and financial tragedies of Afghanistan and Iraq, which the Scottish, right across the political spectrum, where overwhelming against.

We also have no say in the storing of Europe's biggest arsenal of nuclear weapons just a few miles down the road from our most heavily populated city. No English region would agree to that (would you?), but the Scottish MPs are always out-voted 10-1. That is not democracy.

podviaznikov - This is Davis Smith, the founder of Cotopaxi. I also love the name! I'm not from Ecuador, but I moved to Latin America when I was 4 years old and spent part of my childhood and teenage years in Ecuador. I used to go camping with my dad at the base of Cotopaxi, so it has always had special meaning to me. I thought it was the perfect name for a socially minded outdoor brand. Have you been to Ecuador?
Individuals have a lot of sway in Hollywood. It's all star power. Money and talent flock to the stars, and by stars I include producers, writers and directors in addition to actors and actresses. They make money and are prestigious to work with, especially if the movie is successful. In addition to individual behavior there are also the various unions like the Writers Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild of America and organizations like the MPAA and AMPAS and in television ATAS which all wield considerable influence and money. Though it is TV and not movies, Netflix succeeded because it played by their rules.

You can't just disrupt this because it's more than wealth, it's a culture that has been around many generations now and created film making what it is today. There's an incredible gravitational well that sucks all the incredible skill and talent found in the world right into Hollywood. It's not going anywhere.

> They'll be so flush with money that the only reasonable way to use it will be to do their own series 'A'.

The other way to use that money would be to have gigantic batches. Remember, pg and sama have said that they're trying to build something akin to a university with Y Combinator. Using their money to do series A's instead (which is what other accelerators are already doing) would just be so conventional, and not what I'd expect from an organization as innovative as YC.

Yup, was going to mention conformal coating (keyword is important for the electronics side of things). You can get it in a spray can and it goes on like a lacquer, pretty simple (might need to tape certain parts if they need to be exposed). A good conformal coating can withstand the acrid nature of coal plants, I bet it can also handle the playa (though it seems like things fared pretty well as is).

"By the way, you are wrong about the control you think we have. Yes, we get to send MPs down to Westminster, but that did not do a thing to stop the massive moral and financial tragedies of Afghanistan and Iraq, which the Scottish, right across the political spectrum, where overwhelming against."

But again, you can say this for any level:

"People who live near Heathrow have no say over whether or not it gets a third runway. Yes their MP can vote against it but the Heathrow MP will always be out-voted by the rest of the commons". (I don't know the real opinion of them or their MP, it's an example).

I can't resolve the problem in my mind of it being an arbitrary division of the population. You could find pockets of people overwhelmingly in favour or against some issue all around the country. Is it not democracy because they don't get their way? Of course not.

What size does a region have to be to be able to veto policy to satisfy your democracy condition?

As someone who lives here, I have to think with my brain, not just go with my heart.

I can tell you that there is a HUGE difference between any remaining grudges the Irish may have against the English - and, honestly, in my experience, the Irish and the English get on terrifically well - and the extremely dark feelings that most Scottish people harbour.

This feeling of oppression, and the self-loathing that accompanies it, seeps into every aspect of life. When working in the startup scene in Scotland, I was always taken aback, on visits home, by the relative positivity and optimism of the Irish startup scene.

Many Scottish point to the Irish crash as an example of why independence is a terrible idea but, seriously, even after the crash, there was more energy in Ireland than there ever was in Scotland. This is a country in permanent depression.

The natural progression of what you are saying is that Ireland should have remained in the United Kingdom because, after all, they would still be EU members.
What would you use as a proxy to get extract as much revenue as possible?

That's the key. Complaints about core-based licensing aren't really about core-based licensing but about the very concept of value-based licensing (aka extract as much revenue as possible).
No, it's like saying the Wall Street Journal would be suspect if the same company publishes FOX News, or the Daily Mail. Publications that openly lie, distort and abuse; on a massive scale; to serve their own political slant.

Addendum: To clarify how terrible Bild is, consider this website: http://www.bildblog.de/ It is a blog dedicated to pointing out factual mistakes in the Bild publication. They have been running since 2004.
I don't want to ride on numbers here and I admit that "33 or so " can be counted as 37%.

But: I only looked on "Reichstag" elections -- not Presidential elections. I might be wrong here, but Reichstag should be Reichstag. The numbers where from the German wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstagswahlen_in_Deutschland...

What we here are discussing is really depending on focus. Fact is, that the NSDAP had more seats in the Reichstag than any other single party in 1932 and 1933 (3 elections -- they had many, because of the instabilities of the governments). In the US, there are only 2 major parties -- so the party with the absolute majority wins. But in Germany (also today) it is very rare, that one single party reaches 50% or more of the votes. It is really very often, that the biggest single party has 33% or less of the votes. What is done, a coalition is made with an other party -- or even two other parties to reach a majority.

Same thing was done 1933. So it was totally normal, totally legal how Hitler reached power (at least by the letter). And: 33% of the people are a big part of the nation. So, the NSDAP had big support even 1932 in the country. That is fact, as sad it is.

The biggest single party in today's Germany had 2009 also only ~33% of the votes, and where building a government with an other party. In 1949 it had even only 31% of the votes and formed the government together with two other parties.

You are right with Papen of course. He was from the Centre (Zentrum) party. The big parties rejected to form a government with the NSDAP, because it was no democratic party. But Papen changed that and formed an evil coalition, where the Zentrum literally supported the devil.

Sure, it might be a good thing for the Shetlanders to push for but, legally, the entity which was undemocratically coerced into the union is the one which must leave it. Scotland as a whole needs to become independent first.
