Thanks for that responsive reply. That makes it much easier to understand your situation.
> It was when the tests were being first developed.

So it was a ratio test, not a modern deviation test? (As makes sense since no accepted deviation test goes up to 200 in the first place...) A 200 would be nothing exceptional: it just meant he was substantially better than his year-bracket - a 4 year old acting like an 8 year old, a 5yo like 10yo, etc. Not that he was Einstein.
Your response has the same logic that living gives you cancer. In all my years of medicine I have not seen this clear link you establish between mental illness and marijuana. I'd be very interested in learning more about it, if you have some resources for me to look at it.

I did not suggest that cannabis is harm free. I stated we cannot explicitly identified marijuana as the cause of illness.

How am I doing "great harm" to campaigns aiming to legalize drugs? (That's an honest question, I'm not quite processing your viewpoint on my argument, and am actually interested in your response.)
What was the title you gave btw?
This attitude is tiresome and unrealistic.

There are a lot of businesses based on iOS/Mac app stores, Play Store, Amazon's EC2 infrastructure, Amazon's seller marketplace, eBay/PayPal, reselling (e.g. domains, hosting, etc), which won't meet your criteria.

Now let's look at non-digital goods: All new car dealerships, every shop in rental space (which is almost all of them), all airlines, in fact all airport-located businesses, government contractors, all franchises, et al.

So what businesses exist which aren't reliant on a third party? If we ignore government as a "third party," there still aren't very many. Most businesses rely in some part or a large part on a third party.
The toxins in cigarettes are the danger. Filters do little to stop the damage caused by toxins in cigarettes that simply don't exist in marijuana.
I really enjoyed this thanks for sharing and I have bookmarked your site for future reference. It seems like a great idea if you keep it up which I hope you do.
Updated spotlight tracks location and usage data by default
From Mac Help

"When you use Spotlight, your search queries, the Spotlight Suggestions you select, and related usage data will be sent to Apple. Search results found on your Mac will not be sent. If you have Location Services on your Mac turned on, when you make a search query to Spotlight the location of your Mac at that time will be sent to Apple. Searches for common words and phrases will be forwarded from Apple to Microsoft’s Bing search engine. These searches are not stored by Microsoft. Location, search queries, and usage information sent to Apple will be used by Apple only to make Spotlight Suggestions more relevant and to improve other Apple products and services."
So it's a specialized mapping operator for the Result functor. Why restrict it to Result only? What about using option to denote a failure condition without a specific reason? Or other kinds of interesting functors?

But you could already set your dog up with a smartphone and turn location tracking on. In fact I was looking at that exact setting on my Android phone today, and as a dog woner who sometimes looks after other people's dogs I have thought about this functionality, to go in a small collar device or something.

but that's not spy ware. Spy ware is where you report on location or something but conceal that from the person using the phone.
Computers which are based on designs ten, twenty, even forty years ago are also still in wide use.
> I thought you were doing this to deal with non-local scope.

Non-local data-flow (you can reference any table in a query) but only local control-flow (at the same level as excels 'if' statement) and no scoping (references are absolute and global - they don't change depending on where you are in the program).

> Control flow is critical thinking and problem solving.

Critical thinking and problem solving do not require programming with control flow and they are certainly not limited to programmers (you didn't claim the latter, but it is a common assertion on hn and it needs to die). Here are some of the people we've talked to about their programming needs, both for Eve and in past work:

* a radiologist with phds in both medicine and nuclear physics
* an ex- radar engineer who now manages and schedules multi-million dollar aerospace projects
* a group of traders at a prestigious prop trading company

These people are certainly capable of critical thinking, abstraction, problem solving etc. All of them build complex programs in Excel and other tools. None of them have got the hang of traditional programming. I've seen research that argues that supplying task-specific primitives and ensuring early success on the learning curve are both vital. I suspect that the distinction between traditional control-flow-heavy programming languages and static-data-flow end-user languages plays a big part in that learning curve.

That's not to say that non-local control-flow is evil or that it can't be taught, just that it seems to put a big hump in the learning curve and we can usually get away without it.

> It could look like a mathematical equation to a mathematician, textual code to a programmer or process flow abstractions to someone in logistics.

When I say visualisation I include all of the above, not just graphical representations. For example, our default table view is a grid of cells and our default rule view is a mixture of graphical meta-data and textual formulae.

> There are no common actions or assumptions you can make when going visual because there are so many different ways people approach solving a problem.

I think you are thinking much higher level than I am. There are lots of common actions that every programmer I know does every day. For example, I run my program in the browser, check the console for exceptions, put a breakpoint on the line where the exception happened and try to cause the exception to happen again so I can observe the local state, often having to click through the breakpoint multiple times to get the actual error case. In any sane environment (eg Common Lisp) that process would be optimised to: check the console for exceptions, click the 'open debugger here' button next to the exception.
Watching games/film definitely will show you stuff that the boxscore doesn't. Another recent example was a game in which Percy Harvin had 3 TDs called back on penalties. His stats didn't look great, but anyone watching the game knew that he busted out several big plays.

No, not all variation is additive, but things like twin studies and GCTAs let you estimate the additive part of the heritability.

I can confirm that the "one minute remaining" problem still exists. It's moving things back into /usr/local. You would think moving files would be faster than this.
Honestly, it could be due to heat issues. It's a small device and faster drives can get hot.

Apple has tried to support that market before, and it's just not a big market, and it isn't a one-size fits all market. Many people have been clamoring for an Apple solution for SMB server, and it just isn't profitable. This is especially true when you take into account cloud shared storage providers like Dropbox or Box.net.

It's also a market that is more focused on margins. It's easier to charge a higher margin for a device you use everyday, but what about one that you install in a closet or put in a corner and forget?

An HP microserver running FreeNAS is a tough combination to beat for an SMB central server.
Well, the U.S. Navy for one. Just like the air force uses drones, I expect underwater drones to come in quite handy. Submarine tracking, for example.
> try and optimize duplication away (copy your data flow graph, but memoize and try to reuse)

We sort of do that by hand at the moment. Rather than parametrise code, we attach ids to the data that is pushed through it. For example, instead of having a reusable 'compile' function we have a dataflow that just compiles anything thats added to the code tables and anything that wants to compile pushes code in one end and looks for the matching id coming out the other end.

I'm not sure how far that will take us. It's certainly annoying when what you want is more like a function with a return value rather than a side effect. Still, we might be able to address that with a little sugar. We'll see.

> s a bit of a cautionary tale about unintended consequences.

There was nothing unintended about it: the original hypothesis was to see if those changes were interconnected as they seemed to be in various domesticated animals.

The effect of domestication was large enough to be observed, one might say, with the naked eye. As I keep asking in this page in response to all the groundless fearmongering: do we observe, with the naked eye, huge increases in pathologies of various sorts with people of extremely high intelligence? Or do we observe only some small increases in some problems and also indications of net benefits like increased longevity?

What you seem to be overlooking and really not realizing is that the difference between American and German society really couldn't be any more different among peer societies, which is what causes what you interpret as the "implicit contradiction". The two societies and economies are fundamentally different and almost incompatible. Think of it as if Germany is Exxon (ignoring any personal opinions about their business sector) and the USA is Facebook. Sure, Facebook is all hip and dynamic and energetic and "innovative", but it really is not long for this world because it's fundamentals are rather sloppy and fickle; whereas Exxon has stupendous institutional capacity and depth of fundamentals and resources that swallow any capacity facebook could ever even fathom to have or make.

Well, theoretically (& technically) it IS 'free and open' (just that you won't get Google play services if you want it that way, but there are manufacturers which make Android phones without these services) - but yes, your first comment is still right - relying your whole business on Google or Apple app store is just not very good.

I can't way I would have done anything differently, but if the capital is not there when you need it, then things start to break down with this approach.
Ask HN: Stay or go to space?
Hopefully that wasn't too much of a clickbait title ;)

I currently work for a very high profile startup on track to IPO managing the production of their "holy grail" product. I inherited the product to bring it to the next level without realizing the state of the product. Turning it around would be a huge resume builder - and I think I can do it. Problem is, I'm losing either patience or focus (internal struggle).

As a bit of a background:
- This is my 2nd Inc. 500 company (both top 50)
- My positions have been senior or high visibility
- I come from web dev and am now learning managing software dev
- I'm under 25, make great money, and have a very small equity stake
- I have awesome benefits and work under some legendary names in tech

I'm sure this question comes up perpetually on HN but here's my situation:
I wake up everyday and while I like what I do, I don't exactly love what I do. As corny as this sounds, there are 2 things that literally keep me awake in night that my gut tells me I would love doing:
- Creating a way to easily develop apps for HPC (AI/VI, computation, etc.)
- Systems and software you see in cheesy spacecraft movies

Yeah, I know. Cheesy and childish. But I've dreamed about something in both since I was a younger.

Here are my questions:
- Would it be stupid to quit my current job and try to find a startup in either field to join?
- Should I stay at my current place to gain more experience before making the move?
- Am I just being a dumb millennial or does following "the dream" make sense at this age?

And the follow up question:
- If staying appears to be the right choice, when would be a good time to chase the dream? Subjective question but has anyone else experienced the "It's time" moment?

More than happy to elaborate for some thoughtful answers. I've heard HN can be quite brutally honest sometimes so if you'd like more info for the upper cut, let me know :) Thanks HN, appreciate the advice.

On what are you basing your Facebook/Exxon analogy?

> Exxon has stupendous institutional capacity and depth of fundamentals and resources that swallow any capacity facebook could ever even fathom to have or make.

Exxon is a much bigger company than Facebook, but the U.S. is a much larger economy that "...swallow[s] any capacity [Germany] could even fathom to have or make". How does your analogy hold again?

Furthermore, many economists don't agree with your proposition that Germany has strong fundamentals. Just look at the Paul Krugman post at the top of the thread.

I'm not sure why people would use it in a high-end phone, but on low-end phones people use multiple sims as a means to save money. Especially considering a lot of developing countries have prepaid schemes. So you'd have one sim for data and another for voice.

Though, thinking about it, maybe people still use multiple sims in higher-end phones for the same reason?

I appreciate you telling your story, and apologize for insinuating that it was a useless organ rather than an organ that you can live fine without in most cases.
Surprisingly, I've found explanations that it's due to variation in the year and day. Remember, the year is based on the physical phenomena of goin'round the sun, and so we have the issue of theory meeting practice, where our ideal of a year fails to model the truly complex dynamics of the actual earth's orbit. There are errors being introduced due to the moon slowing our spin, other planets distorting our orbit, and other such subtle and difficult-to-account-for cumulative errors from ideal steady-state.

So even of the second was defined as slightly longer, we'd still have to issue corrective leap seconds.

I meant to look into this particular thing more closely last time I read about leap seconds here, so I'm glad for the reminder. If anyone has actual details and references about these effects, I'd be much obliged.

I am not sure if a single stick of 2GB DDR3 RAM would consume much more power than a sinlge stick of 1GB RAM...At least on a PC, the difference seems to be negligible (such as indicated in http://www.buildcomputers.net/power-consumption-of-pc-compon...)...

Assuming ipad Air 2 has roughly the same power consumption as Air 1 (32.5 w), even if 2GB memory consumes twice the power than 1GB (on PC a DDR3 stick, which has much greater capacity, would be 2~3 w), comparing to the power consumption of CPU and screen, still the power consumed by memory is only a small fraction of the whole...

Well, I am not quite familiar with this energy aspect...Perhaps some experts here could provide more insight or pointers?

> Non-local data-flow (you can reference any table in a query) but only local control-flow (at the same level as excels 'if' statement) and no scoping (references are absolute and global - they don't change depending on where you are in the program).

I'm quit surprised by this. In data-flow programming (e.g. FRP), non-local data-flow is a big no no, while non-local non-contiguous control-flow rules the day but is completely encapsulated (programmers only manipulate data flow via wiring, control flow is inferred).

> I suspect that the distinction between traditional control-flow-heavy programming languages and static-data-flow end-user languages plays a big part in that learning curve.

This is a guess, but I don't really see it. A cook can definitely follow a recipe, or even write one for others to read, which involves lots of control flow. We are totally steeped "in time" and our communications often make references to sequenced time-stepped actions.

Spreadsheets are great in accounting and were invented way before we had computers. Math and logic are also nice, and very specialized for the educated, but they came way after we developed our skills for natural language (which was the original OOP). It is quite difficult to say why programming is hard, and what makes it easy.
Yikes, it really irks me that this sort of deserved paranoia is what we've come to...

I'm not sure about machinists, but my father is an 'old-school' drafting table/slide rule (both of which he has since relinquished) mechanical engineer, and he commands a premium due to his 'hands-on' nature with problems.

He can sketch a picture and create a tool from the sketch in essentially the same day, whereas his counterparts take just as long just to sketch the tool in a CAD program of some sort.

He has always had a problem with CAD design. He can navigate it, but he has difficulty with actual modeling. Luckily he is at such a rank in his profession to where he has an intern assigned to him to translate his graph paper sketches into document-able CAD files and do other computerized clerical work that he's not up on.
