Monoids are learned in high-school, long before people people learn OOP, MVC, or whatever else acronym sits on people's resumes these days, with the difference that a Monoid is a recipe that's actually simple and well defined. And they are everywhere, so it makes sense to think about generic code that works over monoids.

Its an interesting question about how much they can do without NASA backing up their clearance requests with the FAA. Some of the early SpaceShip One clearances were a real nightmare for Scaled Composites, I don't know if it was just a lack of rulemaking or general government ineptitude.

At some point though SpaceX will have the space port and the rocket and the gear to just tell the FAA that they are going up on such and such a date with the following orbital parameters. Plus you have to notify folks that care so that they won't wonder if a missile just launched out of Texas (not that the orbital track would put Russia or China in its path but still)
Given that the dataset of YC companies is starting to be somewhat sizable, I'd be incredibly curious to see if people tried to run a regression between lots of plausible variables that affect success (founder demographic variables, subject area, exact time, etc) to see if there are any non-trivial correlations.

The dataset is not quite big enough to train a very complex deep net, but even some simple linear regressions would be fascinating.
Oh I didn't know that.
Yep,replacement strap. We were devloping it to work with any device, but now with "accessory port" on Time, we will be able to leverage the battery and data connection to watch, which simplify the design.

@Contactless: we are developing a new sensor technology for measuring HR which will not be in contact with the skin(like optical sensors/bio-impedance metal stubs). This means that the sensor is embedded inside the silicone strap as you can see in the demo video.

Any suggestions ? pls mail me : ms@gethbeats.com

lot of scripting in Ember implementation

Lot of recalculate in Backbone implementation

Backbone reaches complete heap size memory very fast than Ember(Interesting when you think Ember actually has lot of objects created)
There is some kind of destroy happening(Even when this is just a snapshot of millisecs) in Ember which you observe by dips.

Althgh Backbone looks good, Memory usage wise think Ember is better

When I say run-on I guess I mean the sentence just drags on when it could be two or three separate sentences with no negative impact. It makes it difficult to read and I, at least, lose track of where I am in it.

I understand completely, and take no offense of any kind.

When it comes to personal prayer, my understanding has been shaped most strongly by the following two texts:

https://archive.org/stream/PPCV-Manresa#page/n273/mode/2up

http://christianperfection.info/tta6.php

When it comes to corporate prayer, my experiences and understanding have been most strongly influenced by public worship in the "style" of what is sometimes called the Traditional Latin Mass:

http://www.livemass.org/LiveMass/dayHD.html

There are numerous texts which attempt to explain what the latter "is all about". A favorite of mine is a guide, of sorts, for uniting one's personal prayer with the corporate prayer of the Mass:

http://www.catholictradition.org/Eucharist/hidden-treasure2....

Finally, a mode of silent corporate prayer which is also intensely personal is called "Eucharistic Adoration", during which one's attention is directed toward Jesus, who Catholics believe is bodily present under the appearance of bread. Many believers also make "holy hours" before the Eucharist on their own at little chapels throughout the world. There is even an online chapel, of sorts:

http://savior.org/

-------

A common thread to all of the personal dimensions of these kinds of prayer is that there is frequently an interior dialogue, perhaps deliberately shaped according to a method of discursive meditation. However, there is also understood to be an exterior object of prayer, God Himself or the Saints and Angels. The dynamic by which the interior dialogue is (or can be, in any case) supplanted by something which transcends the one who prays has been the object of much writing over the past 2,000 years of Christian history. Generally speaking, the subject matter is treated by the ascetical and mystical branches of Catholic theology. The second link from the top is to a book which tries to summarize the most accepted schools of thought in those areas, i.e. within the Western Catholic Church.

Well, in Baltic states, there is the cultural gap between Russians and ethnic Estonians, Latvians and Litthuanians in each of the states, respectively. It is not a small one. There are still lots of people who are resident in e.g. Estonia, and were born there, but have no citizenship because they do not (can not, will not) pass the citizenship language test.

The difference to Ukraine is that the Baltic nations grew strong enough already during the final decades of Soviet Union, and they still remembered their pre-war independence.

In 1959, the population of Estonia was roughly the same as in 1939. The difference was that almost a third had been replaced by Russians.

Ethnic Estonians had been first purged by USSR in 1939-1941, then killed by war going back and forth over the country in 1941-1944, and then purged again by Stalin's further repressions until 1950's, by moving people to camps all over the Gulag and killing them there. After that, there was a bit of dual existence, and "Druzhby narodov nadozhnyy oplot!" was rather a less reliable bulwark of friendship than the song was saying.

Then, in 1991, came the singing revolution. After that, many Estonians have migrated to Finland, Sweden, Germany, and other countries, but they send money back home. In exchange, Estonians get guest workers from Russia or Belarus in the same way. Still, it's not that easy for Estonians, as for instance trained doctors and nurses often leave the country after their training.

Ukraine, in contrast, was run by various Russian cronies - the Orange revolution could not build nation -and has had endemic corruption all the time.

What you say about poor nations having bad choices is right as you either leak population or you build a police state that tries to restrain population. Education and eradication of corruption will help, but it's very slow work. I think the Baltic states are showing the way there.

Interesting that you read what I wrote as calling someone a "racist sexist homophobe", when what I wrote about racism, sexism, and homophobia, was specifically and emphatically about language and behavior, and made no mention of people. The people in question aren't what I have a problem with, only the language and behavior that contributes to social norms in some communities on the Internet that are exclusionary of women, people of color, and LGBTQ folks.

The only thing I said that was about people was "mostly said by angry young white dudes on the Internet". Which was, in fact, intended to be dismissive of some people's words. I believe it is a boringly predictable and reactionary display of privilege that deserves nothing other than to be dismissed. It is not merely coincidence that it is almost universally angry young white men who make these kinds of statements.
I don't think that's the case at all.

There's social justice warriors (SJW) who do fight the good fight and try to point out (and/or stomp out) racism, bigotry and homophobia when they see it, but then there are also those who take it to far. The extremists. They adopt the SJW ideology and wrap themselves up in it like a warm blanket. I think that 'slur' would refer to those extreme individuals. An example of someone taking it to the extreme would be someone frothing at the mouth because you said the word "spider". They're angry, upset and offended because they're scared of spiders and you didn't put a trigger warning in front of it (Yes, those people really exist). They're hypersensitive and find everything and anything offensive for the sake of being offended because their outrage nets them a form of attention.

On every side of every issue, you're going to have extremists. I think it's best to stomp out extremism when you come across it because they inevitably do more harm to their cause then good.

This is actually a great write-up on the trigger-warning phenomena:

>Still, I think it is a valid point that drink driving is seen as a moral problem and therefore its practical impact as a cause of accidents and deaths is perceived as larger than it actually is...

> ...over here (Finland), drink drivers are generally most dangerous to themselves. Of course there are some innocent people who are killed and injured by drink drivers but most deaths resulting from drink driving are either people who kill themselves or consent to be in a vehicle where the driver is DUI.

You can't argue that problem is being overly focused on condemnation of the person who drinks and drives and then ignore our responsibility to keep them from hurting themselves either.
You (and the study) are treating exercise as if it is some homogenous substance, and the intensity and type of exercise had no effect on the outcome. To quote the study:

"the so-called active co-twin of the twin pair was physically active
Q2 times per week, and the so-called inactive co-twin of the
same pair, e2 times per month (inclusion criterion 1 is shown
in Fig. 1). If this criterion was not met, the physically active cotwin
needed to participate in leisure time physical activity Q2
times per week at an intensity equivalent to easy or brisk running"

No-one who is serious about training would expect any body composition changes from an easy run twice a week, except at the very lowest levels.

As others have said, "you can't out run your fork". If fat reduction is your goal, you have to get your diet in order. This is generally accepted within the fitness community, and it's a straightforward consequence that is trivial to consume more calories than you expend unless you're, say, trekking in the Arctic. If you want to increase your lean mass you'd better be doing resistance exercise twice a week at a minimum and more like three or four times as your training level increases.
My feedback:

1. No idea what this does, even after logging in and clicking around.

2. It wouldn't load for me at the start/seems VERY slow. Saw some comments about a 5MB file... maybe that is it?

3. "Slack meets github issues" means nothing to me! Who is your target audience? Those both seem like dev tools, but it looks like you're hitting consumers?

Good luck!

> and staying behind a drunk driver and thus near them

I don't think anyone is recommending that. I think they're recommending staying behind a drunk driver, and slowing down enough that you're no longer near them and have plenty of time to react to the results of any sort of mistake on their part. I think we can all agree that tailgating a drunk driver is an absolutely terrible idea.

(In general, I try and leave enough space to react to a sober driver's mistakes as well.)

> putting them safely behind you.

"Behind you" means you're in front of them. This is literally putting yourself in the path of danger. If they're relying on cues from traffic, speeding past them may let them know "they need to speed up" - and now they have some nice tail lights that are much easier to follow than those road stripes...

> I might now be having to deal with debris on the road that I won't be able to see easily, or potentially at all until it's too late.

You might have to deal with that whether or not a drunk driver wrecked in front of you. And even if you've left one behind you, what are the chances there's not one in front of you too?

You'll have more time to react going slower. If you keep your windows clean, your prescription up to date, your headlights in working order, and put down your phone - and I'd wager most debris you can't see in time to avoid is going to be much smaller, and as a result much less dangerous, than an entire car threatening to collide with you going the speed limit.
My understanding is that the valuation per share (at least, the valuation that matters for tax purposes) should depend on the 409A evaluation of the company, which determines the current price of shares in the eyes of the IRS. In some cases, especially if e.g. you're pre-revenue or nearly so, this number will be much lower when compared to the valuation per share that you'd see in an acquisition or subsequent funding round, both of which would presumably price in your potential future growth much more aggressively.

The net result is that generally speaking the number given by your 409A would seem low compared to the "true" price of the shares, and make it a weak recruitment tool.

(If this assessment is wrong I'd definitely be interested to hear to learn more)

As an aside -- unscrupulous companies can always quote inflated per-share prices based on extremely optimistic valuations e.g. "we're at least 10x the last round of funding -- your options are worth $500k!" So generally speaking, watch out.

That being said, if you're so enamored with financial risk why don't you go to Vegas and bet everything on black?

Most startup jobs pay below market. If you're taking a job that pays $20k less hoping for that 2% chance of a big payoff from stock options, it's no different than saving $20k and blowing it in Vegas.

For some reason no-one making $120k/year would bet $20k in Vegas yet almost everyone thinks that taking a severe cut is acceptable.

Because the benefits of more founders presumably outweigh the loss of intimacy. I also think she mentioned "do things that don't scale" in the article (if she didn't someone did in the comments) - if you build an incubator where you treat 20 founders like family, when you get to 1000 founders you will still be trying to do that.

We didn't collect precise timing data, but I hope to release the code soon, and it's pretty easy to setup a test similar to ours, e.g. with high volume hashtags such as #nowplaying.

What I can tell you is that we published messages in batches, closing a batch every 5 seconds or 100 tweets (at the highest traffic rate, we were receiving and publishing about 100 tweets every 1-2 seconds). This is way below the quota limits.

On the subscriber side, we received batches of at most 10 messages. I didn't investigate if this is a limit or a config param. The sensation was to receive the messages pretty much instantly (I was looking in parallel at 2 shells, one publishing and one receiving), but again, I don't have precise measurements.
There is indeed a long history in Latin America of organized armed forces raping, torturing, and killing hundreds (and thousands) of civilians.

Paramilitaries armed and trained by the U.S., and government militaries funded and advised by the U.S., sometimes after the U.S. organized the overthrow of civillian governments the U.S. didn't like.

Yep, there's a deep cultural issue there, that the U.S. created over the course of a century or so.

As another motorcyclist, I want to give my support to this view.

I have no desire to ride fast (I rather enjoy doing 40 mph on a park drive), but I need my bike to be able to go 100 mph so that when the person next to me going 55 mph starts to merge into my lane, I have the choice of slowing down or very rapidly accelerating out of danger. It's the same with cars. Having the "headroom" means you can speed up quickly in emergencies.
