I don't find lutusp's points to be all that unreasonable. While you passionately assert that they're false or poorly reasoned, I really haven't been able to figure out from your post what you think the exact problem is.

If there's not a single species present today which was also present 1B years ago, it does not seem unreasonable to me to suppose that humans will not be around in five times that timespan in the future. If anything, this should be the default supposition, and it is any claim to the contrary -- that we will be around in 5B years, in a form we could mate with -- which needs extra support.
That's fair. I'll get on it.

A halfway point for them might be to allow donations only for the categories you select. Right now they have "Education, Health, Economic Development, Arts & Culture, Environment, and Human Rights." Opt in/out of categories and then somehow distribute your monthly contribution equally across that month's charities that match your selected categories. I'm not sure if a charity is exclusive to a category, though, so maybe it doesn't focus quite that well.

About Me:

Studied architecture in Boston before moving to NYC to work in 3D printing. I've done a little bit of code at work, mostly Python scripts to automate physical materials testing on printers, and have been teaching myself web development for a couple of years now.

I made https://glimmer.io/ - in short, it's a Django site w/ a desktop client that allows you to pass your clipboard between machines. It also serves as a searchable record of your clipboard in your browser.

Additionally, I have submitted and had accepted a patch to Django that will be making its way into the 1.8 release. I noticed that the urlize template tag wasn't converting links that lacked a prefix (google.com/foo, for example) and wrote the fix with a couple of tests. It's a small patch, but it felt good to contribute to a big OS project, so if your company works on OS stuff, I'm doubly interested in working with you.

I'm looking for any web development role, but would really prefer not to work only on front-end stuff. Otherwise, I don't really care what your stack is, I'm down to learn as I go.

About me:

I have a B.Sc. degree with a major in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Istanbul/Turkey and currently studying my MS degree in IT Management in Golden Gate University. I am an International Student, my school provides both CPT and OPT. I did plenty of elective and required credits in programming, mathematics, statistics. I created one Android Application for just learning. I also create every week new Front-end project and put it into github. Still learning and taking online courses on Algorithms & Data Structures and want to pursue to back-end also. I wrote a thesis about Online Courseware Platform (MOOC) and developed a MOOC web platform at the end of my undergraduate degree and now developing and improving the project. I want to start as a Front End Intern or Part Time developer may be in time I can shift into Back End World. I have the Algorithm Background but at the time I want to work with amazing JavaScript language and see what I can accomplish.
Ahh, cool, that makes sense :)

No- one set goes through an (at least semi-)standard training process, with public scrutiny upon their every action at a personal level with additional access to public records of most of their related actions, while the other is recruited through familial relations and contacts, with the media investigating the group with a view from a collective standpoint with far more limited resources available.
Afaik a pivot happens when there's a problem with the current product/strategy. If LT is truly used by "lots of other people" (I believe it is) it shouldn't be difficult to salvage it: just run another kickstarter.

I can understand having ran out of the original kickstarter money, but after enteing Ycombinator I'd expect them to still have resources to avoid being forced to pivot

(trivia/disclaimer: I'm a kickstarter backer and Light Table was my main editor for some months)

The real difference between a 'traditional' ISP and a Level3/Cogent/HE.net/etc is the market space they operate in. Nothing really prevents "Comcast" from acting like "HE" except its not a market they are interested in.

HE.net sells to businesses and provides wholesale bandwidth over fiber its purchased and/or leased routes.

Traditional ISPs sell to the general public and provide last mile connectivity. They then hook up to Level3/Cogent/HE.Net/etc to provide access to the rest of the internet For example, Comcast doesn't have any international PoPs.

I meant to refer to Eve and not LightTable.

From what I understand something like Eve is begging for a hybrid product/consultancy approach...

Putting personal preferences aside it would by far be the most logical path towards building a big business out of it.

SUTime is very good, like all the StanfordNLP stuff. We chose to do Duckling because:

- To my knowledge SUTime only supports English

- We wanted something that's easy to extend. SUTime is somewhat hard to extend, especially if you are not into Java

- We needed not just temporal expressions, but also monetary data, temperatures, quantities...

That being said, Duckling is still young and certainly not as proven as SUTime yet.
Thank you! More cool features soon.

This is not a poll of HN users. It's a poll of HN users who clicked a headline about dropping dropbox.
It is an anecdote representing the incredibly vast number of gaffes by those who strive to ban something they truly are grossly ignorant of.

Imagine some legislator wanting to regulate Internet usage (say, to prohibit pseudonym use) but when asked "what's a 'user ID'?" replied "it's a finger thing that goes South" - you'd say the person had absolutely no business being near a computer, much less recommending incarceration for people who chose their own unique login name. Insofar as there are a great many people who likewise have absolutely no competency regarding network usage, it would be safe to say such people should in no way be allowed to enact legislation regarding computer networks enforceable by substantial fines & imprisonment.
Danilo, I loved the article & thought it was much needed. Agreed that it's not the job of the marginalized to educate oppressors. Agreed that it's frustrating and exhausting for anyone to take on the task of educating others, and that your writing is an attempt at making others aware of the problems that exist. I agree that BrandonM's classification of your article as "cherry picking" demonstrates a lack of awareness of the difficulties of minorities and women in tech & at HN. However, simply because a person doesn't express a certain level of self-awareness or education about the disadvantage others are experiencing doesn't automatically quality them as an enemy nor a bad human.

BrandonM, I'd encourage you to keep educating yourself. I'd suggest reading resources like http://juliepagano.com/blog/2013/11/02/101-off-limits/ and following some "social justice warriors" via your platform of choice.

I, personally, am still very much in the process of learning about how my own privileges (white, middle-class, male, cis, het) affect me and others, which is why I find article's like Danilo especially useful.
Your "try me" text box should say "eg. tomorrow at 6am".

"ie." means "that is" (as in "restating...")

"eg." means "example".
Sources for any of that? While some sports (football, men's basketball) are profit centers that can offset the cost of non-revenue sports, that really only applies to the top-tier programs (NCAA Division 1).

I've never heard of university sports programs being major sources of revenue for research or courses (outside of possibly sports-related studies).

Why would anyone want to catch up with emacs/vim? The original idea behind LT was visual programming, as it was shown in the Bret Victor's demo. That was the whole point, and I don't feel LB provides that yet. That's why I'm sad they gave up on it, and started a new project, which appears to be even more difficult.
OCaml would be fine. It's a good language with a very efficient run-time.

I'm arguing that you could throw out most of the advanced features and that would be enough for most people. Its best features are the core ones. That's why I don't really care which specific flavor of ML you pick. Any would be a big win over many languages in wide use today.

Very nice, I have clients who might be interested in this.

The first - and biggest - issue that came to mind is integration with warehousing, inventory management, ERP, etc. You have an API which is awesome, but you may want to look into building connectors to some more popular systems - it'll make setting it up much easier/cheaper and help sell it.

Another related question is the realtime inventory tracking - how will you handle this in companies who sell both retail and wholesale? Like above, integrations with POS and/or ecommerce systems will be helpful/necessary.

For both cases, one system has to be canonical - it may be OrderCircle, but it may not.

(Feel free to contact me if you want to chat - I've worked with your potential customers for many years.)
This fits in with something I’ve noticed. I know this sounds harsh, but when I run across someone who is at the top of their profession and yet seems woefully underwhelming, they often have Ivy League BAs in non-demanding majors (For example, Jeff Zucker, Harvard, History. John Tierney, Yale, American Studies). My working hypothesis is that, while everyone who graduates from an elite school has an advantage in terms of reputation and networks, the actual difficulty of completing certain degrees isn’t that high relative to non-elite schools. Thus a history degree from Harvard isn’t worth that much more than a history degree from a Cal State school.

This has been my experience. I used to hold Harvard, Yale and Princeton in very high esteem. Then I met a dumb as rocks Princeton history major. In his defense, he was in a Sales job, and admitted that Lacrosse helped him get in.

It isn't like history majors in large public schools have any higher of a mean competence.

I reached the opposite conclusion as the article, though. If you're going to major in something soft and what to go anywhere, you have to go somewhere good. You can have a good career with a CS degree from either Yale or Ohio State. If you want to have a good career with a Journalism or History degree, you really need to go to Yale.
Is there any such tool (free or not) that integrates with GitHub and it is ready to use?

It would be great to not maintain 2 issues list, 2 milestones etc.

One possibility is to look for evidence of neutron irradiation in rock layers that were exposed at the time. The signal would be weak:

1) The gamma ray spectrum from GRBs looks like it has a long high-energy tail: http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/lectures/ADSEM/WS0304_Kienlin...

2) For gamma energies about about 8 MeV, you start producing neutrons from gamma-nucleus interactions (this is why cancer patients who are treated with high-energy beams are very slightly radioactive for a while after each treatment: high energy photons blow neutrons out of a few of their nuclei, leaving short-lived daughter nuclei in their place.)

3) For an extinction-level gamma-ray event the GRB fluxes are estimated as ~10 kW/m^2 as the top of the atmosphere and 160 W/m^2 at the surface of the exposed side of the Earth. That's 160/1.6E-13 = 1E15 MeV/s.m^2. If 10E-6 gammas generate a neutron (totally ballpark guess, but the spectrum is only down by about 1E-3 from peak at around 10 MeV, and neutron production cross-sections at around 10 MeV are on the order of a milli-barn for nitrogen and some heavier elements, so a 1E-3 fraction going into neutron production is not unreasonable) that's 1E9 neutrons/m.s. Given GRBs last for a couple of seconds, therefore, one would expect to see a layer of neutron-activated rock that was exposed to a fair neutron flux.

4) But... all rock is exposed to a background flux of a few neutrons per second, so over a few hundred years there would be a background signal that swamped this burst signal.

Ergo, it is unlikely that this mechanism could be used to detect a signature of GRB extinction events on Earth. The additional neutron activation signal would be completely swamped by the natural background signal in almost any reasonable circumstances.
My take is that it's that people 'understand' how computers work on the broad scale, but don't have any idea how electricity and chemicals can make our brains work. Also, to most people, computers are just our attempt at making brains.

I'm betting both of those.

I use this EVERY DAY. I get a notification at 9:30am (you can set your own time) telling me about a new organization. I donate about$1 a week and about every other week I will search for tech organizations (example: Helping bolivians connect to the internet) and do a "match" donation of $5. It is great.

The notifications display perfectly on my moto 360 too!
Looks great, can't wait to see the demo, and the acknowledgement of entering an already crowded space. Personally I think many of the tools that are out there right now could very very easily be out-performed by an open source tool.

I sometimes wonder if killing another company's revenue by creating an open-source tool (that is as-good or better, which you generally strive to) is moral/ethical... I know it's not bad, but feels kind of weird to take their lunch

How to build websites fast, with the rapid prototyping workflow
While you're being more hyperbolic than most HN readers will like, I tend to agree with your point and wish you'd made it without the barbs.

This package is not even a rewrite, but the implementation of a tiny, tiny subset of TeX. In addition, I've always understood (and followed this rule in my OSS work) that you don't point out weaknesses in other OSS projects as justification for your own. Apart from it being bad form, it doesn't help promote the project.

Connexity - Camarillo/Los Angeles, CA

We're building a sophisticated advertising platform. Actually, we've already built a ton of it. In fact, it hums along running a few billion transactions per day. As our business expands, we a few roles to fill:

1) We need a Rails dev to own our campaign management interface. You'll help humans effectively manage hundreds of campaigns for well-known brands and retailers. We serve 50+ million ads every day and process 3.5 billion transactions, and you'll be right in the thick of it. You'll work directly with Postgres, Redis, HBase and Hadoop. You'll also likely play a key role in developing a new API for several key partners.

2) We need someone with fierce tenacity to run QA and technical ad operations. When an account manager sees that we recorded no clicks for a certain campaign in Firefox browsers, you'll get to hunt down the resolution. You'd bring a meticulous eye for detail to bear with browser and Javascript chops. Done well, you'll be a daily hero. (Devs are cheerful when called upon to fight fires, but prefer to write code.) Count on becoming well acquainted with Hive.

3) Finally, we're looking for a strong DevOps team member. You know networking and Linux very well. You'll help improve our Hadoop clusters. You'll tune monitoring and alerting thresholds. Most importantly, you'll eagerly seek to expand your usefulness as you work with the rest of the dev team. We're not driven by dogma, and you'll find yourself in good company if your sole priority is fixing the problem at hand.

I'm one of the lead devs, and you can reach me at dlarsen@connexity.com. I'm happy to speak informally about our situation, and can hook you up with the HR folk at the appropriate time.
