So why don't you just update that 2012 to 2015 or 2016?
I am trying to wrap my head round this debate.

I think that underneath it we all hope that there is one thing everyone can be truly world class at. And we hope we will find that thing for us. And that it will be cool.

And yet with 7 billion of us, we shall have to niche down a lot to get good. To be in the top 1000 globally, we will have to choose between 7 million skill sets. And with only 27,000 of job types in Soc2010 ( for example "
9244 Warden, patrol, crossing, school") I think we are going to have some problems.

Look at athletics. Here genetics plays an enormous part (Usain Bolt was born to excel at sport) but deliberate practise also makes him fast. Yet there are millions of people each year who complete intensive running regiemes, either for formal marathons or just as "jogging".

These people achieve "mastery" of running - improved aerobic fitness, stretched and improved muscles, an understanding of race conditions, of weather and environment, awareness of traffic, a better understanding of their own body as well. I have experienced all these things as runner and cyclist.

I am not "world class". But I am easily beyond merely competent in cycling.

And so I think we are setting the wrong goals. 10,000 hours of deliberate practise sounds too pat too simplistic, but the idea that you can be world class in anything without years of practise is almost oxymoronic.

So is "world class" what we mean by "mastery of a skill"? Perhaps we would be better off with "beyond competent". The multiplication of genes and practise is a powerful formula - but to be the very best is a near psychotic desire. To be in the peloton is a good aim - but I simply think completing the course without shame is a skill we can all learn with practise and one to be proud of.

The simple fact is that the Times revenue off print ads was an order (or two) of magnitude in difference. Online, the Times is competing against Google and Facebook CPCs and there's no way to get a high enough value/volume to make up for the lost print revenue.

I do not think the unhealthiness is in the goal. Goals are fine, and happiness is natural to want. Obsessions, on the other hand, are worth watching out for. They will consume you.
Agreed, the German system worked well for me and there are other higher-ed systems in Germany that take up the middle ground between 6-year degrees and vocational schools.

It would be politically impossible in the US to have a high school system like Germany's where university students effectively get selected in 5th grade and in consequence the US has everyone entering the same undergraduate system. Universities here have to cater to a broader audience, they just don't do it that well because even state schools now look very much like for-profit operations.
At some point maybe they'll take a hint from their Xbox division and call it Windows One.

> Would be a booming startup for sure.

What makes you think that?

Anecdote: I live in a new building in Baltimore, and have both Comcast cable and Verizon FiOS. The FiOS is an MDU, so instead of fiber to each apartment we get fiber to an ONT on each floor, and VDSL to each unit. Still, it's rock solid 45/15 all times of day for $50/month.

The other day, I lost internet. Called Verizon, they said it must be a problem with my unit because nobody else in the building had complained. Verizon tech comes out, and realizes that the reason nobody has complained is that I'm the only one on the ONT. Indeed, the ONT wasn't even properly configured with the network, and nobody had noticed because I was the first person on the floor to subscribe to the service since the building was built in 2011. We're talking about a building with dozens of apartments on each floor, by the way.

The moral of the story is that people care about their internet connection a lot less than folks on HN would like to believe. Verizon is still pushing hard to recoup its investment in FiOS, because customers aren't willing to pay what it costs to build all that infrastructure. Why would a startup want to enter that market?

Eric Ries on Building a New Breed of Business
There are issues that are inherently controversial.

For example (don't hate): if you believe human life begins and has value at conception, then abortion is in the same category as murder. If you believe it begins some time later, then any restriction on abortion is a violation of a woman's control over her own body and is in the same category as rape. Those positions are fundamentally at odds, and fundamentally do not lend themselves well to compromise. An organization with activities that touch on either side of that issue is going to be controversial, not because of religion or politics or making a quick buck, but because neither side is even remotely acceptable to the other side.

There are a handful of issues that are like that. There are a handful of issues where people are unwilling to compromise even a little bit. If you casually insert an organization that even remotely touches on that type of issue into a list of 30 organizations to support this month, with no ability to skip, you lose a certain category of sponsors.
Interesting interview with Eric Ries- - talks about how his ideas of Lean Startup have evolved since the book, how to be lean in any situation, and what he's working on next.

My favorite idea in this interview is that there is an opportunity to build a brand new breed of business, as long as we can break the cycle of the "traditional" company structure.

Makes you stop and think, what would you build if there was no right or wrong structure?
> There are definitely limitations to practice; I'm 5'6" and weigh 115; as a result, I'm never going to excel at something like football. My body just isn't cut out for it, and that's something I came to terms with a long time ago.

Ah, but how do you know if you haven't tried?

You seem to be saying that the kind of physical limitation you have in football could not possibly exist mentally. Why do you feel so sure of this?
Cox> Our policy has never been to require everyone on Facebook to use
their legal name. The spirit of our policy is that everyone on Facebook
uses the authentic name they use in real life.

The current problem is Facebook's assumption that people
have one "authentic name they use in real life".

Real people may choose to be known by various names
in various contexts, without intent to defraud or
to be a "bad actor". They may or may not want those
names to be connected among the different contexts.

Facebook has hundreds of millions of users, but apparently is not yet
able to realize that the simple policies that worked well for small
homogenous populations (US college students) do not scale to to huge
heterogenous populations (the rest of the planet).

Facebook, allow users to be known by whatever various multiple names the
users like. Allow them to connect those names, or keep them separate.
Put whatever measures in place you need to to support that (perhaps a
per-user waiting period that doubles with each additional active name or
profile, or allow people to register names or profiles for a small fee,
perhaps ~US$5 or $10 times number of names per person.)

Expect some gaming of the system, and come down hard on bad actors and
abusers, perhaps using a names registration fee to make dealing with bad
actors costly for bad actors, profitable and easier for Facebook, and
not a complete pain for people who are false positives or troll targets.

Imagine the revenues when millions of gamers want to register their
in-game(s) persona name(s). This has worked well for domain registrars,
what are you waiting for?

It seems a good idea that can also be applied to open source projects who ask for donations. You could donate just to support the concept of open source.
It does depend on major, though.

What's interesting about this report is that it breaks it down by college and major.

http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report-2014/best-scho...

If you major in CS, your mid-career salary is generally quite high from UCs and other state universities. There's a couple issues here, though. For starters, this is heavily influence by higher salaries in California. Also, there's a survivor bias at state schools. While it is clearly harder to get into Stanford than a UC, my guess is that more students get bounced from the CS major at UCs… so this may also reflect the fact that fewer students succeed in their chosen major at those schools.
I heard about this when I interned at Microsoft a year ago. I'm excited it's finally been revealed.
Only two were actually used to kill people. Most of the rest were preparations for it.
I am really asking (as I've said elsewhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8382692 I find these truths very difficult to live with). If you can write an extended answer to this, I would enjoy reading it.

> To me they are tied up with what I consider one of the universe's greatest epistemic mysteries, which is where consciousness/sentience comes from.

Trend of recent findings from modern science increasingly seem to suggest of a pretty dispiriting answer, our consciousness is not so different from a dog's, and it's not as remarkable as we deem it to be, (somewhat relevant article from the times this week: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/28/opinion/sunday/god-darwin-... ).

> I believe that quantum mechanics leaves plenty of room for this self-perception of my mental process to have an actual basis in reality (though I also admit the truth could be something else entirely).

I'm similarly finding solace in the fact that a lot of these things don't seem to be falsifiable, and that QM suggest potentially of a non-deterministic universe. What you say about pedophilia is also a concern, it's also an immense struggle for me to deal with these unhappy truths about human nature. I'm finding it extremely hard to come up with comforting answers.
"It's also confirmation bias: we wouldn't have heard about the experiment if it had failed."

That's not what confirmation bias is. You're thinking "reporting bias" or "selection bias", I think.

I assume the grandparent is talking about functions in Angular that take in a numeric timeout parameter and wants them to take in Promises instead, so he can reject the promises to signal that he wants to cancel the operation.

It occurs to me that happiness could be like profits: It is an indication of success; a way to measure it (think a/b testing), but is not itself success.

To toot the counter culture horn, it's the pursuit of profit as the end-goal that makes the world a rotten place... ironically, does the pursuit of happiness as an end-goal have similar issues?

To rephrase: Like profits, happiness is a way to tell whether or not what you're doing is working, but it's not what you're doing.

Search Funds are an interesting beast. I have some direct experience here as I was in contact with a number of "searchers" earlier in the year (word about my business, which is retail/consumer focused, made its way around what I learned is a pretty tight-knit network.)

The model works as such: The searchers are typically recent MBA grads and sponsored by a group of backers (who, in many cases, are the actual professors & their network). The searchers have less power than you (or they) think -- their job is to find, interview, dig in and model out a business -- and then present it to their investment partners, who are the ones who actually make the investment decision (not entirely unlike angel investing cohorts).

Risk-averse is spot on -- they're looking for a _very_ specific type of business (TFA doesn't cover it exactly): They want safe straightforward B2B operations with an intense focus on recurring revenue. That's the phrase I kept hearing over and over - "locked-in recurring revenue." The idea is that the searcher can jump in at the helm and not worry about rocking the boat while he/she gets up to speed.

The particularly risk averse ones (especially those that have been searching - unsuccessfully - for 2+ years) are looking for a different type of "unicorn". They want businesses - like Asurion - with massive growth potential and iron-clad (i.e. low churn) long-term recurring revenue from other businesses. Don't we all ;)

Most of the targets are businesses that are all around us but that we techies probably haven't heard of -- things like oil services companies with contracts to transport crude from ports to refinery. Or commercial janitorial companies with 10-year contracts to service all properties in some real estate management company's portfolio.

It's an interesting niche of the investment world, for sure.

I think it may have a lot to do with regulation.

I've been looking around, to see whether I could find information on the total bandwidth of the DVB-T(2) spectrum for some country, but I couldn't.

I want to know because I'm wondering if, perhaps, the technical abilities are there, but we can't use them because only a select, small set of frequencies are allowed for data transfer.

I'm still not sure whether that's the case though.
The companies they are buying aren't in the early stages; they are established companies. They are companies that have been around a while, that have owners who want to exit, with the typical reason for an exit being an age.

Anecdotally, I picked up the nickname "Lizard" from friends well before I started using it online.

During my first year or so of college there were several people who admit to only having known me as "Lizard" as that was just how some friends introduced us. Facebook was still fairly new and small then so (I don't believe) there were many people trying to find "Lizard" on Facebook, but aside from a comment in my About (which would only help after they already found me) there was no reference to the only name some people knew me by.

I don't use the nickname offline much any more (though it's useful in busy restaurants to avoid confusion with other people who share my real name, and can prompt some interesting stories or conversations too) and I'm fairly certain the people I still interact with offline all know my real name.

Would/Should Facebook accept this nickname? Still? It doesn't really matter to me any more as I'd just assume be able to keep separate identities unless I want someone to know both. But for some people this nickname is synonymous with my real name and I will respond equivalently to either.
The line between being trans and being a "drag performer" is way more blurred and way more personal than you are making it out to be.

Furthermore, looking at your other example, I'd argue that PartyBro045 and BusinessDude75 should totally be allowed to present themselves as different people online. It doesn't get the same level of attention because It's unlikely someone will go after BusinessDude75 if his party identity gets revealed (at least not in the way many LGBT people face) but, hey, he might lose his job, which would certainly suck.

It think it's pretty easy to make the policy consistent. Identify bad actors not by the name they choose, but by whether or not the identity they present is "real," based on patterns of behavior. If they're a bot or a scammer, it shouldn't matter what name they use, real-sounding or not. Otherwise, leave them alone.
+1 on the scold.

Emails don't work well in these situations. Send a letter, ring the CEO ... and STOP doing any more work.
