It's not a perk if the ultimate effect, if not the intended effect, is that it keeps you at work 60 hours a week. There's something deeply insidious about plying your employees with free food and services and encouraging them to build their social circles entirely out of their co-workers. Who needs work-life balance if work is your life?

That does sound weird. Do you mind sending me a mail (info at ghostnoteapp dot com) so we can figure out whats going on.

We are working on the cog wheel issue we just haven't been able to reproduce the bug on our screens so any look at the beast would help.

What makes a chip realtime? I thought that was more a feature of the code running on a chip than of the chip itself (for 'normal' designs)

The only feature I can think of there is 'no support for demand-paged virtual memory', but even that isn't strictly needed for a real-time system.
Well, I have no race, so perhaps don't see this as big as a problem.

Never in the UK have I ever heard of people making a distinction between a Wage and a Salary. They're the same thing.

Middle class means something completely different than the definition you're defending. Skilled office workers are firmly in the UK middle class (despite my Thatcher hating friend's assertion that he's not). It might be argued that unskilled office workers, like call centres, are now working class jobs.

For whatever reason, most of the programmers I know are intrigued in some way by brains; maybe it's something to do with being able to handle abstraction, or seeing consciousness as just another process or program, or something like that. Throw in how we're all used to debugging systems by observing the way break down produce emergent behavior, and something like this story becomes a fascinating tidbit about and potential insight into the functionality of the human mind.
Bitcoin succeeding would not be like putting the world on a gold standard. Bitcoin is outside the control of governments, and would be an additional currency, that supplements, rather than substitutes, the current money stock.
This is very much the EU approach of human rights rather than "constitutional" rights. They apply to immigrants, and this annoys the UK government immensely.

There is also the Schengen right to reside in any EU country.

The long term way this pans out is less clear. People don't lose their ethnicity when they change nationality. You end up with irridentists and conflicts, such as the "green line" across Cyprus.
I don't understand your point. Didn't capital come with smallpox? Capital intensive processes always come with unknowable risk. Coal power means coal mines, which for some people means black lung. Air travel means death by plane crashes. High voltage power lines mean death by electrocution.

Overall, we're better off - but it's silly to claim capital infusion is automagically harmless. Again, perhaps this isn't the argument you're making. Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean?

> Reasoning involves inferring and applying causation which is different from correlation

A couple points here:

* The way humans model causation is just non-naive statistical correlation (controlling for variables). That technique is still accurately described as "statistical correlation"

* I'm not even convinced that human reasoning _does_ imply generating a model of causation. Let's exclude things like rigorous scientific studies for the purpose of the discussion and focus on day-to-day human reasoning: I think the thought processes of most of the people I know could most accurately be explained by correlating things across time. Modeling causation is often incidental (X often happens after Y is a reasonable enough heuristic for general use).

100% agreement. Startup equity is not only more complicated than you suppose, it's more complicated than you _can_ suppose.

Everyone working in this industry should get an appreciation for this. And I'm not saying this for altruistic reasons. I have to exist in the job marketplace with the folks taking pay cuts for equity that's not worth anything!

No faith; just experience. Virtual currencies are unregulated, and behave like it. That sort of system got us the great depression and numerous recessions.

I appreciate some supporters are there for good reasons; 'snob' may be too strong a word. But it's naïve to believe a pure unregulated market is a good idea, especially one that responds at the speed of light.

No ad revenue. But there's lots of car revenue.
Well, there were over 1,800 automobile companies in the US by 1930. Now, not so many.

This is an example of "go big or go home" and is as old a story as there is in business.

I don't think the attribution of several meanings of "middle" is at all correct. Nor is the class warfare more evident in the Trading world than it was in the early automobile industry's early years.

Sure, but to take depreciation as an example, the rules do not necessarily match reality. Sometimes an asset's practical life is longer than the rules allow, sometimes it is less. These factors do not just depend on the asset, itself, they depend on how the asset is used. If a company goes under, the resale value of the asset may be worth more or less than its carrying value depending on outside economic conditions, technology changes, or what have you. Even the most earnest accountant can get things very wrong.
This seems a little odd to me -- "Or if you want to put something under ‘using’ statement and preform a certain action when the ‘using’ finishes." -- dispose is meant for a developer to release unmanaged resources explicitly. It's not some end block to glom on arbitrary actions on.

> will the law apply to her the way it has been applied to Petraeus?

Your phrasing is very apropos, since if the law is applied to her (which I believe is the question you are asking), it will almost certainly be applied to her "the way it has been applied to Petraeus", as opposed to the way it's applied to someone lower down the totem pole:

"[Former State Dept. official Stephen] Kim did not hand over a copy of the [classified North Korea] report — he just discussed it, and nothing else — and the report was subsequently described in court documents as a “nothing burger” in terms of its sensitivity. Kim is currently in prison on a 13-month sentence."[0]

For context, Petraeus "gave highly-classified journals to his onetime lover and that he lied to the FBI about it."[0]

I've worked for some of the largest companies in the world as well as been employee number one at multiple startups (one of which was backed by google ventures), so I hope the following advice is good:

If you're going to found a company, go for it. I'd like to do the same myself someday. If you're going to work for a startup, make sure they pay you well. In dollars (or your local currency). I treat stock options as a lottery ticket, not a substitute for income.

Basically working for a startup is much like working for a big company. Neither really offers you long term stability. You have to deal with politics in both. The biggest difference in my opinion is that startups typically have really long hours and some pretty big egos.
I 100% believe that no one else has ever asked that question. Because lot of people have no clue at all.

I've bitched before about losing potential employees to other companies who, they said, were giving "more options," when we were offering them 0.5% of the company.

You should be asking, and if they aren't answering, realize they are offering you cereal boxtops. Whether you choose to value those at $0, or be insulted at walk away, if up to you.

> The problem isn't really the initial dollar amount, it's spending what you think you can make back on the application in a reasonable amount of time (6 months). If you can't make $50k on an app then why spend the money to have it made?

I guess that is where one needs to a fair bit of market analysis. One could argue that ghostnote might or might have a potential for $50k but who knows? Add the fact that some gurus say paid apps are dead while you can find numerous paid ones working fine, it is just confusing.

Then there is decision on pricing the app. I was reading up on some devs who put out their income figures. One might be inclined to think Dash for iOS at $10 might be a hard sell but it has done really good. On comparing to another app priced at $3.99 with same number of downloads, the returns have been much higher.

So the issue doesn't stop with whether I can make it back. But also, how do I make it back. I am too learning it the hard way :)

My first impression after scrolling through the page is - It is too detailed. Maybe for complete beginners in programming.

It's a 2048x2048 pixel camera, and is there mostly to provide context to the other sensors. While better than many historical probes, it is a bit low-res today. But NASA's MRO already has some great optics over Mars, so they probably figured hi-res visual survey wasn't the best use of their probe.

Also, it was probably cheaper and easier. After all, MOM is a "technology demonstrator".

Reasoning means things like this: suppose you are holding a ball and want to make it drop. A rule of inference tells you that if you release it, it will drop. You can then reason out that you should release it.

Sure, the rule of inference may have ultimately been derived from experience, by a process which in some sense involved statistical correlation. But you have to distinguish that ultimate basis for the inference rule from _the process of logical inference itself_. It's the latter that is generally called reasoning.

Reasoning in the above sense is essential to intelligence, even at the toddler level, and the DeepMind work doesn't address reasoning. I think that may be the point the parent was getting at.
As a matter of interest, what product is that?

I used some tricks to reduce the amount of data that must be cleaned up at any given point in time, but it was not possible to evade it completely. I still have to do concurrent compaction, and there's some really nasty corner cases I don't have any good solutions for, it's a hard problem.
Wow, such an amazing read!

> A few hours after she first told me, I took some time to read up on dissociative identity disorder.

Shouldn't he have read up on DID in detail when she first told him about rather than when the episode happened? Seeing this mid-way through the event makes it seem like he didn't really do his homework beforehand.

> at its worst, she said, she would not only struggle to identify who she was, but even what she was; unable to process the concept of her own humanity.

This is a really interesting state to study; not knowing your own humanity. Are there any good references to DID that one without prior knowledge can read?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for clarifying. I'm not sure why the down votes though, it was genuine confusion.
It's not that she used a personal email account, it's that she set up a secret email server under a phony name in order to conceal her email records, which is a felony.

18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally

(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

I was curious with the difference between schizophrenia and DID, since most mental illnesses overlap tremendously. If anyone has a better source, you're welcome to elaborate:

"Schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder are often confused, but they are very different.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness involving chronic (or recurrent) psychosis, characterized mainly by hearing or seeing things that aren't real (hallucinations) and thinking or believing things with no basis in reality (delusions). Contrary to popular misconceptions, people with schizophrenia do not have multiple personalities. Delusions are the most common psychotic symptom in schizophrenia; hallucinations, particularly hearing voices, are apparent in about half of people with the illness." (http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/dissociative-identity-dis...)
That's a lot less elegant than my version. Multiple lines? Using sed to filter out the extraneous lines? Hardcoding gcc rather than using the system CC via make? And it gets the arguments wrong, too.
A query, how did you decide on the price point for your app? There must be some kind of break-even calculation or something?
It was a voluntary response.

This is moronic. Its unbelievable that so many well paid, "highly educated" professionals give this kind of nonsense credence.

The girl elected to have a little flip out episode after she told her boyfriend "I'm about to dissociate". She obviously had no conscious part in her decision, right?

Nothing is mentioned about her being under the influence of psychoactive substances - so discussion on that is reaching for a justification of involuntary action where there is none.

Now the boyfriend writes an overly-dramatic piece about it for the beacon of overly dramatic hipster fanfare: vice. Its his little proclamation of how much he loves a girl that manipulates him with ease. Maybe many of you of upvoted this identify with that aspect.
It's one of those "seems like such a good idea" things we probably just should have dropped until we had a better solution.

The idea is that the ghostnote app visually stays out of the way by going semi-transparent when your mouse isn't over it.

So I am guess it's just so low on transparency that you can't see it :)

Got to Preferences and turn it off then you should be able to see the window.

But yeah not the most useful feature for now.
I agree completely. You can't overvalue the culture at a startup, and that each startup has its own culture.
I'm not familiar with F#, but the Haskell world has very much accepted the Monoid typeclass.

Even the Scala world has found them to be extremely useful. I know Twitter's Algebird library defines Monoid instances for a lot of structures, and I believe that SummingBird leverages the properties of Commutative Monoids somewhere (could be wrong on this, it's second hand knowledge I got from someone who manages the SummingBird team).

HLearn (Haskell Machine Learning library) uses a cross validation algorithm that exploits the properties of Monoids.

So Monoids are certainly happening, stop trying to ignore that they're happening.
It doesn't follow that if there are 6500-7000 nodes now, there will be fewer with larger blocks. If larger blocks allow for a larger economy, there will also be more candidates for running full nodes. Things are different when the percentage of world population using Bitcoin increases from 0.01% to 20%. Spent tx pruning, which has not yet been implemented, can also help increase full node count. From what I've seen, projections on how the block size will affect full node count don't take this into account.

tl;dr: optimizations like pruning, combined with a much larger economy, could result in a far higher full node count under a large-block-size scenario than there is now.

Killed him after his work was done might be one option I bet that a Cartels HR dept is not soft and fluffy like Dogbert.

Or they thought he was a FED and killed him a Bit like the poor sod who was working as a freelancer in one of the former soviet states a few years ago - luckily I didn't have to deal with that case when I worked for BT but I do know the senior manger who was the contact with the FO during that time.
This is an interesting story and if I were a psychiatrist I would be fascinated to study how consciousness can be separated from the ego. In addition, props to the writer; call me selfish all you want but I could absolutely never love someone in a romantic way who had this kind of issue.
I believe that, "A few hours after she first told me", refers to the conversation around Christmas, 4 months before the DID episode occurred.
I think he meant first told him, that Christmas morning. He's just using that as a lead-in to discussing some specifics of the illness at a later point in the story.
Regarding your first point, judging from the "after she first told me" part, I think he did. Though i agree, it was weird to jump in time like that.
Founders often end up in a situation where there is significant dilution and as the hockey stick changes into a slightly different shape they know that nobody's options are worth anything

This is a very common occurrence, and unless you have a seat at the board, you are completely at the company's mercy when events like this happen.

Usually they will make current employees "whole," although the definition of that varies a lot. If you've left, though, you are completely shafted. The board will say "well you are no longer contributing to the company" but the same thing applies to the VC fund that invested last round and didn't this round.

There are an amazing number of hoops that you have to jump through for options in a start-up to pan out, and you have to hit essentially all of them, or else they are worthless.
It might not be impossible or even difficult to read for you or I, but remember that every OS displays fonts a little differently, indeed some browsers may display differently, and different monitors display a little differently. People could be having a vastly different experience from what you or I have.

There's a reason sans-serif black-on-white is the default, and why people ask for it. It's easy to read no matter what. That's why Readability exists. And for what it's worth, at first glance I find this page difficult to read as well on a 1080p 15" monitor. The font makes me have to focus on one line and one word at a time, where in stock sans serif I can skim. That's what happens when you try to translate text that works fine in a novel and put it on a computer screen. You would never see a newspaper or a textbook printed in this fashion. Because it's harder to read.
I've seen organizations have lots of trouble operationally with kafka (which samza uses). I've seen NSQ be extremely reliable operationally.

However they offer very different guarantees so it's an apples to oranges comparison. NSQ isn't really designed to provide a replayable history, although you can fake it by registering a consumer which does nothing but log to file (nsq_to_file) and that works pretty well.

(disclaimer: the nsq mailing list has lots of chatter these days, nsq may be growing features I'm not aware of)
