This “signaling issue” is a huge problem, by the way—accelerators that do the Series As for their top 3 companies deeply wound all the rest. - Sam Altman

How is this different from a VC firm like Andreessen doing Series As for their top 3 seed companies? Isn't signaling part-and-parcel of the startup economy? Why should YC be worried about signaling when a firm like Andreessen isn't?
Thank you for the response, meierjo!

I actually sleep on a wood "mattress" (two pieces of plywood). I'll look into the Original Mattress, as well. Thanks again!
ronbo, we work hard to find a measurable way to show our impact and I think you're right in pointing out that this isn't great. The way we calculated this was by dividing the entire cost of the project by the number of bricks needed to rebuild the school. The money we donate from each pack buys significantly more than 2 bricks, obviously, but this also includes concrete, roofing materials, labor, architectural plans, rebar, etc. We'll work on finding a better way of communicating this. We loved the idea of showing the impact by the number of bricks needed, but I think it falls short of showing the actual impact. Thanks for the feedback - very helpful!
Thank you :)!

I used to be worried by amount of dependencies too, when I was transitioning from .NET stack to js. Until I realized that each module is usually very small, doing only one thing, and most of the time doing it well.

The reality is more complicated. Wages tend to be sticky downwards, therefore the main way to dig a country out of a balance sheet recession is through currency devaluation, which forces a haircut through other means. It's how Canada and Germany rebounded in the 90s.

Yes, this hurts the poor and middle class, as inflation does (though it also can help - people that bought houses in the 70s effectively got a discount), but unemployment hurts more.

How a having a technical job as a High School student benefited me
Worst case, I expect individual compilers will develop their own bytecode serialization format that generates asm.js on the client. There are various reasons to do it already (compression, debug vs release readability/minification concerns, etc) and future revisions of asm.js (like v2, which introduces Java/C#-oriented heap structures) will make it worthwhile.

Compiler -> Bytecode -> Normal JS/ASM.js is the long term strategy for asm support in JSIL, since it will depend on currently-experimental asm features and using asm+polyfills on all browsers would have obscenely bad performance characteristics.
It's a great part of the workflow for you. For me it's constant visual interruption of flow state.

Nothing about having a service prevents offering that visual experience. IntelliJ/Eclipse the IDE can still exist while consuming the same backend that my Emacs consumes. You get your visual experience that helps you achieve flow state. I get my highly configurable/optimized editor that helps me achieve flow state.

>>the US and EU would never accept or allow that a Chinese social network

Half the stuff coming into the US is made in China, so its hard to speak about protectionist economics.

Social networks from any country do not threaten the political order, but are rather used by politicians and interest groups to gather supporters. In China social media is used to highlight broken promises between unelected government officials and those who they supposedly serve. In the US you could elect different politician, but in China the only remedy for a lack of accountability is revolution. To state the obvious, social media is a vehicle for democracy, and this has left the Chinese government terrified.
Twitter Investigating Islamic State Death Threats Against Employees
Possibly a confounding factor is that electricity is so incredibly badly taught in the high school and college physics courses, or at least it was when I was a student. Most students ended up hating electricity. I have had more than one person cite the "oscilloscope lab" as the experience that turned them away from physics.

It's too bad, because if well taught, electricity could really reinforce another aspect of physics that students struggle with, namely the ability to solve complex problems by replacing fields with scalar quantities (e.g., stuff that's conserved), thus replacing calculus with accounting.

Also, I would completely ditch the oscilloscope (at the intro level), replacing it with something that simply measures voltage versus time into a computer.

Ask HN: What are your favorite NYC meetups for finding collaborators?
Hi HN,

I've been working on a software project for a while and finally have it at a point where I think there's something worth showing to people to work on with. I've been trying to follow advice similar to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8096810 to build something I can show to others ("Turn the concept into a project. Work on any bits and pieces of the project that you can. Go to meetups, bring your idea to a hackathon, and maybe do a Show HN when you've got something tangible.") - I don't think I'm ready for a Show HN, but I would like to go meet possible collaborators at local NYC meetups. Since we here in NYC are currently swimming in meetups / startup events, I was wondering which ones people would recommend. I found some old suggestions on HN, but they are mostly defunct now.

Thanks!

Of course, nothing is one size fits all. I doubt slack or hipchat could supplant IRC, and I doubt they would try. I was addressing the parent comment - I think the same goes for IRC, a new interface for IRC doesn't negate the niche filled by Slack and Hipchat.
It seems pretty broken to me. When I zoom in far enough, it fades from the original zoomed pixels to a new image as per the design. But, unlike the design illustration, and unlike what one would expect from an infinite zoomer, the new image that fades in has no correspondence to the original. It should be that white pixels in the original correspond to mostly white images in next level image, and black pixels in the original should correspond to mostly black images in the next level image. But there is no correspondence.

I thought ransom was supposed to work by making the person whom you have secret information pay you NOT to disclose the info. Especially if this "Jeffrey" knows the the Satoshi's true identity like the hacker says. That's not even mentioning that Satoshi almost certainly has way more than $20k in bitcoin (likely 100's of millions of dollars) and has a real interest in preserving anonymity. Wouldn't that make him personally the obvious target to extort?

Or maybe this "Jeffrey" is full of bs and has no real information, which would explain why he's trying to get money from the public. Obvious troll seems obvious.

It's fascinating to see that the account seems to be active, if we are to trust the "replied" icons to G.M. (Bitcoin developer?) and R.M. (Wired reporter that wrote the article on this leak?).

EDIT: From the Wired article, it seems like the hacker corresponded with the Wired reporter via the email address (to prove authenticity?) and may have done the same with the Bitcoin developer as well, judging from timestamps.

I don't think traditional VC firms are competing with YC at all.

There are two "black holes" in venture capital right now. One black hole is YC + angel investment. When you're getting started, it's pretty much standard practice to go through YC and/or raise seed capital from angels to get your startup off the ground.

The other black hole are a few top VC firms (off the top of my head, a16z and Sequoia). These firms pretty much figured out that it's impossible to predict success, so they're putting large amounts of capital into companies that are already succeeding. They've essentially eliminated guessing; they can get away with it because they established themselves as the VC firms you go to if your company is succeeding (so they have no issues with deal flow).

Then there are traditional VC firms in the middle, who can actually operate by perpetually losing money due to a slightly weird wider financial climate and the incentives of their LPs (see http://pmarchive.com/truth_about_vcs_part1.html, http://pmarchive.com/truth_about_vcs_part2.html, http://pmarchive.com/truth_about_vcs_part3.html).

So everything is much more complicated (and much more interesting) than the original post would lead you to believe!

Well it depends. :) I did mean "illegal", though there certainly are many illegal transforms that look legal and vice versa.

I'm in the minority, but that's something that annoys me about Scheme. Lisp-style list processing code is more concise when nil is false. I also think array-processing or Haskell list style code is better than Lisp style list code, so IMO most Scheme code ends up with the worst of both worlds.
It is pretty embarassing that we completely rely on Americans for tech. And that's despite larger population and higher density, better Internet connectivity, free higher education in many places... I don't think it's Google's fault though.
I think VCs are used to being the only guys on the block and don't like that they aren't fully in control any more. It's the same thing that has happened to Wall St. But different in that the VCs had even more control and some back room deals going. YC isn't the the real issue. They are providing a good education and strong ideas which help to prove them to be the best of all the accelerators out there today.

Debugging trick: debugging broken formats in binary data
Well, the biggest Ivy Bridge EX has 15 cores! There's speculation that the 18 core Haswell-EPs are actually Haswell-EX dies that Intel wants to get rid as fast as possible because these chips have buggy TSX (transactional memory).
Exactly. And, if he felt like being taken seriously, he could prove a dox only to SN (release a hash of his hometown or first name or something). He's got nothing (or is incredibly dumb).
So didn't they find an issue with haswell cores (and the early next generation, broadwell) that meant they had to issue an erratum to disable TSX instructions?

I'd wait until the Haswell-EX or Broadwell-E/EP chips.

It is something of a red herring to suggest that the pound, and the right to decree monetary policy, belongs to England alone. The Scots have done just as much to make it what it is, with Scottish oil being what made sterling a stable petrocurrency and, therefore, allowed the UK to become a power a financial powerhouse in the Eighties.

Realistically, after the bluff and bluster of campaigning has passed, the UK will strike some sort of deal with Scotland because, quite simply, they don't want to be left holding the national debt. If England claims Sterling as it's own, Scotland can legally walk away from any responsibility for the banking bail-outs. None of that will happen, however, because it is in the economic interests of both to co-operate.

REMEMBER, England was furious when Ireland left the UK, and did everything they could to renege on the terms of the peace treaty, including the size of Northern Ireland. The one thing they didn't fuck with was their own economic self-interest. Ireland, as the UK's biggest trading partner, continued to use the pound Sterling for more than 50 years after independence. Think about that.

Worst case scenario, the loonies from UKIP somehow get into power and insist on punishing the Scots for daring to leave. The Scots will simply create a currency that is pegged to sterling, just like the ten other countries who have been doing so for decades, or like the 14 countries that have pegged to the dollar, or the 20 countries outside the currency union who have pegged to the Euro.

You could say that pegging would be bad, because they would not have any control of monetary policy but, actually, that is the entire problem with the current arrangement. The shift from industry to financial services, propped up by Sterling being a petrocurrency on the back of Scottish oil, is what decimated Scotland. Every decision taken in Westminster enriches London and the South-East, the rest of the UK is an afterthought.

I would love to see an example of pathnames being useful today. In my experience they're the only part of Common Lisp that is an active impediment to getting work done on a Unix system. It would be awesome if we could have a generic file naming mechanism that would also represent URIs. Unfortunately Common Lisp pathnames manage to suck at both Unix filenames and URIs.
Marian Rejewski and the First Break into Enigma
It's ridiculous to label Google a monopoly. People have to go out of their way to type in Googles URL, and anyone can type in something different. Yandex and baidu are valid non-US competitors.

Quality is the reason why people go back to Google. Compare this to the monopolistic practices of Mircosoft; who still viciously fend competitors from installing their software on OEM devices, amongst other horrible business practices. You could also label Apple or Oracle but in comparison they're not that bad.

It boils down to the fact that dodgy tax breaks are good, unless you're not getting a slice of the pie.

I wonder if this could be Satoshi creating an additional layer of complexity in the hunt for his/her identity. By compromising his email address and web properties he can basically direct the masses in any direction he/she wants to. While ensuring that they have false bits of information seeded within them.
