I agree about standing out. But as someone that lived in other countries down there for three years before moving to Chile and speaks Spanish, this definitely wasn't the case for me.

Are you in Startup Chile?

Just watch your backpack on the subway or walking through busy streets. During my time there my female room mate had her wallet taken from her backpack at the market and some big charges racked up on her credit card before she noticed.

A month later her parents visited and they climbed Cerro San Cristobal in the middle of the day and had three young guys come out and beat them with sticks to steal their bags. Lots of bruises and stitches.

Another had a iPhone ripped out of her hand while she was using it on the street. Another had his laptop stolen out of his bag on a bus to the coast. Laptops were also stolen by people who just walked into the co-working space that Startup Chile uses.

There's no reason to be scared in Chile. I always felt safe, but don't let the title of safest place in Latin America based on comparative murder rates make you forget that you're still a possible target for a robbery. And based on nothing but my own experience and people I knew, more so than any other place I've ever visited.
@Greggman - I like your Heart/Mind example more approachable variant of Bertrand Russell's "The way forward for humanity is compassion guided by knowledge".

> I think the problem is that Notable Labs would be testing combinations of FDA-approved drugs

I assume that only previously used combinations are suggested.

> This requirement could turn an 'easy comparison' into a lengthy clinical trial.

But at least you would have a fairly reasonable idea of how a clinical trial would go. It's not like going from an animal model to human trials. I assume they can get a large enough sample size as they can probably recruit patients easily for what can be viewed as a second opinion.
> Google releases high quality hardware with their OS to prove that a good machine could be make with it, but at a price that does not compete with others.

That is a very interesting notion that I had not considered at all, but can that be entirely true? It must cost a small fortune to get a device like this ready for public consumption, even if they don't sell very many of them.
Would it be worth putting a large SD card on it, and using a portion of the internal storage as high speed cache?
It seems that they have hit a daily API limit of some kind. If you enter a space you get the top option right for every question.
It's astonishing how great Slack is at PR. There are dozens [1-12] of competitors with more or less the same product, but only Slack gets all the nice press. I guess they have much better execution too, but all the press surely doesn't hurt.

Is 'security' really something that requires faith or belief? It seems that "more secure" (not secure in an absolute sense) can be made tangible, and I think that programming languages can give you "more security", in the sense that they close off certain possibilities or make them much harder to exploit/mess up.

Not that I know about security, but all you're doing right now is to fend off the claim of "more secure" by stating that java is not secure in an absolute sense - no one has claimed absolute security, only relatively more.
It works, I guess?

I was brought on well after the system was originally developed.

The websites are mostly our internal admin tools anyway.

Most of the real work is run through cronjobs or task queues (Celery).

The biggest annoyance is that the Django version the stable django-nonrel is based on is ancient (1.3). There are non-stable branches to newer Djangos (1.5, I think?). When I investigated there were some issues with them so we're still on 1.3.
While GO is a great language, I doubt it has any significant advantages over C#. Also, Microsoft is doing very well with the phone dev, its the end developer who're not writing apps. And they are not-not writing apps because of PL issues, C# is much more popular than Go, they are not not writing because they are trendy.
One concern is that your current investors could sue, claiming ownership of your side project.

Why not pivot to your side project? If your cofounder doesn't want to do it as a pivot, pitch it to your investors. If they also aren't interested, then you can quit in good conscience (and make sure it's legally done right so they don't come back and sue you later).
Yea she is, but she is pushing me. I can hate on her all I want but its better than a professor who would give me a bad grade.
Everything is being marked as wrong. Not great.
CoreOS isn't intended to be the base image of a docker container, it's meant to be the host for docker containers.

Your professor sounds useless- sorry, that's no fun :( Might not help as much on the content side of things but I find this Grammarly tool to be helpful for small improvements: https://www.grammarly.com/

Good luck!
So, you're right that nothing can be removed. But you can add new things, and via mode switches (e.g. "use strict", which enables strict mode currently, or "use strong", which is planned to enable strong mode) essentially remove old ones by disallowing them in the latest "mode." Old code will continue to run, but as long as you opt-in to the new way of doing things for your new code you can enforce not using the legacy constructs in the new code.

It's important to note that the modes are on a per-function basis, so opting into the new mode doesn't break existing libraries, etc even if you call those libraries from a newer mode.

It's also worth mentioning that strong mode doesn't introduce anything new. All that strong mode does is remove features. `let` and `var` both already exist; in strong mode, only `let` does.
What decision would this information inform?

What is the best way to find a startup partner?
I have an SAAS startup for travel industry. It is not doing good. It is a great product for the right company but because I'm a developer and not a marketer it is not doing well as a startup. Now, I'm working on a new product (it is also for travel industry) and desperately in need of a partner. I'm not looking for an investor, mostly because of I can't pitch the idea to an investor.
Here are my challenges;
- Where can I find potential partners?
- How much share should I give for the partnership? or How to decide the partnership at this level?
"They" has been acceptable for centuries.

Given the excess is spread out over many bins it seems unlikely to be binning.

It's an intriguing result, but yeah: detailed survey of dwarf gamma spectra is a good next step. As usual, the number of conclusions we can draw from a single experimental or observational result is much less than one, but they do add up eventually.
Sure, other factors predominate, but even in a significantly-more-ideal world, a signal from LA to NY is still going to be a 40ms round-trip. (3940km one-way along the surface of the earth, 200,000km/s signal speed in the glass.)

That's still more than enough time to require algorithmic trickery from games in order to provide the illusion of "real-time" gaming over the internet.

Fascinating read - nicely done. Interesting suggestion that planning objections were late possibly because the media outlets that wanted the tower also suppressed news about its construction!
The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way), the KLF's step by step guide to achieving a No. 1 single with no money or musical skills, advises:

“Firstly, you must be skint and on the dole. Anybody with a proper job or tied
up with full time education will not have the time to devote to see it
through... Being on the dole gives you a clearer perspective on how much of
society is run... having no money sharpens the wits. Forces you never to make
the wrong decision. There is no safety net to catch you when you fall.“

This being said, interfaces should be designed for 'usual users', not 'complete neophytes' (and of course, not 'tech wizards' either). A computer is a complex item; designing an interface so that it can be used with no training and no cultural precursor is designing for an outlier.

The interface should be appropriate and accessible, but it shouldn't make life harder for the normal user in order to onboard neophytes. I think it's reasonable to expect users to get some minor training - after all, what might signify 'next' to a semi-urban Indian might be utterly meaningless to an an elderly recluse in Poland or a scatterbrain in Argentina. Expecting to come up with a universal UI that onboards neophytes with zero training is probably a bit much.
In the article I didn't see what type of ultrasound they are using. I don't know a great deal about ultrasound, but I do know that there is a difference between diagnostic (imaging) and therapeutic ultrasound systems. It's likely they were using a therapeutic system for this test.

I was having chronic muscle spasms in my right shoulder blade area, and the physical therapist used therapeutic ultrasound on me. It melted the spasms like butter. Several months of terrible pain gone in an instant. I was never so tempted to steal a machine in my life.
But why wouldn't you get the Dell XPS 13 instead? (Linux edition coming out soon.) The Pixel is heavier than the MBA, while the XPS is lighter/slimmer and has a real harddrive. There are minor trade-offs here and there but it's the limitation of ChromeOS that really makes this a strange option.

I myself am debating both options, but I've ordered a Pixel specifically because I'm hoping the keyboard is a bit better than the XPS, and to see how well it will run Debian natively.

If only the US had ultraportable options like they have in Japan.
For what it's worth, this appears to be an active dongle using a MegaChips device to do the DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 conversion. USB Type-C alternate mode handles the passing of DisplayPort audio/video data from the GPU over the USB pins (ML0-3), and the MegaChips device converts that to HDMI 2.0 TMDS signaling.
Well there's work and then there's "work," and I think this is the big part of what the article misses.

Put it this way - if someone asked me if I wanted to be making $250K/yr at CorpTech or $250K/yr hitting baseballs, the choice is pretty clear (at least for me, you may hate baseball). When a job is fun or emotionally rewarding, it changes the way you perceive "work."

I bring this up in response to your comment because owning and running your own company is an emotionally gratifying experience. Granted, there are moments that tear your heart out, moments that leave you awake at night, but if you're wired for this kind stimulus, you enjoy it. It stops being about (just) the money.
I agree and I come from a strongly typed background (.Net). It is extremely liberating and useful to just add properties to an object at any time, even ones I didn't create. Kind of like slapping a sticker on something for later reference, whereas a strong types object just explodes when apply you the sticker.

I understand that there are performances issues to doing things this way, but it seems like you could have the strong typed base while still allowing expando properties that may be slower? In .Net the added Dynamic but I find it of limited use because it must be explicitly used rather than just Object allowing it which is what you are going to get from most libraries.
> you can see it practically from everywhere

Kind of the point for a comms tower, no?
I think the section that delighted you is actually called the "analytical reasoning" section. The "logical reasoning" section gives you a paragraph about some subject, and that asks about inferences and deductions you can make from that.

There are samples from both sections here for comparison: http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/about-the-lsat/

I too found analytic reasoning delightful, both during practice tests and during the actual test. One thing about the actual test that kicked it up a notch over practice tests (aside from the pressure of it being for real) was that you could not bring scratch paper to the real test. There was a fair bit of empty space in the test booklet so you had room for truth tables, graphs, and such, but if you botched one and had to start over you might find scratch space tight.

I aced analytic reasoning. Shortly after the test, I saw a magazine at the supermarket full of those kinds of problems. The shelf position and the ads in the magazine indicated it was aimed at older women. I bought it, because I enjoyed that part of the test so much, but didn't have much hope because I aced that part of the LSAT! How are puzzles for Grannies going to be a challenge? So I tried a level 3 difficulty puzzle (range was 1 to 5 with 5 the hardest).

It DESTROYED me. I could do level 1 reasonably, and level 2 with a lot of effort.

I vowed that if I did become a lawyer, I would not take cases that would pit me against old ladies. (I did not become a lawyer. I decided near the end of law school that I would rather be a programmer who knew a lot about law than a lawyer who knew a lot about programming. My policy of not going against old ladies in battles of wits remains in force).
Indeed. I suppose it depends on the circles in which one runs but there are still companies actively writing COBOL (or were as of 2011 as far as I can personally verify).

And they were making millions of dollars from that one small segment of the company.

I'd wager that in the enterprise (whatever that means) that where NoSQL is used in companies more than, say, 10 years old, it is generally for non-critical, exploratory one off projects. I don't even think NoSQL is close to 50% market share among what I'll call the silent majority of more conservative, more enterprisey tech companies/IT departments. I have no figures to back that intuition up with, however.

This whole ridiculous subthread is about programmers aggressively refusing to fix bugs. (Misgendering.)
While not Enter, Evening, Bohemian Rapsody has a musical sofistication quite above the examples of statistics and crowd-research driven stuff mentioned above.
Go has a TLS package and dependencies which are almost entirely written in Go: http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/
I think that's what RacherOS does as well, which is interesting as they're claiming it's production ready! Only Docker seems neat, I'm loving all of these experiments.
I wish they can turn their fuzzers and similar tests that they build into an open source test suite that can be run by anyone, and into the future. That would be a great public contribution from this work.
Is there a layout yet or is it just a schematic? From what I understand USB 3.0 is so crazy fast it requires quite a bit of RF magic/knowledge to even just route from the connector to a chip on a board.
Problem is, all these suggestions that would make news sites better for Betty, would make news sites better for EVERYBODY. News sites variously depend on people clicking ads, refreshing pages, getting distracted, etc, so that they can make money / keep attention.

Also - if this sort of mode was popular, people might start linking to IT instead of the normal content. Note how the printer-friendly layout of news articles at the large sites is handled in CSS now, where it used to be a link to a separate page. In the past, people shared links to the print version, out of an abundance of courtesy.
I'm torn here. I agree that this is one of the Nice Things about javascript - I can do stuff like

let foo = opts.foo || 'default'

Which is nice. On the other hand, if you look at how V8 does its JIT compiling, it seems like there's just some things you can't optimize around, and they've gotten as far as they can reasonably be expected to get there. Having object schema that can change on the fly is just really hard to JIT efficiently.

My worry is that Strong Mode becomes the defacto standard, and we end up losing the flexibility and expressiveness of well-written JS, and end up with static typing all over. If your JS is compact and otherwise well-formed, you can probably afford the compiler hit sometimes, knowing that code is a lot easier to write.
I'm not in Startup Chile, just visiting my grandfather and doing some sightseeing. I use an over-the-shoulder bag like many of the businessmen here use. I only keep valuables in one pants pocket that I can be more aware of and control access to rather than using multiple pockets.

Being attacked with sticks to steal bags is pretty bad, it would be difficult to try to prevent that. Poor access control and letting people walk in to steal stuff is not good either. It seems to me that the rest can be prevented by having better control over one's belongings and being more aware of their environment. The same things happen to Americans in the US.

In highschool, I would mess with my friends by either removing things from their backpacks while walking behind them in crowded hallways, add random things to their backpacks, or put things in their pockets without them noticing. I would also tie their shoelaces to desks or backpacks when they weren't paying attention. Even though it was just highschool, it taught me that most people don't pay attention to their stuff, themselves, or the things around them.

Since I've traveled a lot internationally for school, work, and family, I've learned to operate in "Condition Yellow" (Cooper Color Code) and I've never had any problems.
First, there's a lot of startups that go for either SaaS for the travel industry or build and app, and that's a pretty tough market. Finding partner is probably going to require you to do a bit of marketing (to the marketers). Tap people you know through work or school, there are also "starup" pitches at universities (at least there was at mine).

Further, I would expect them to require a large amount of equity. Admittedly, your startup is not doing good. If you find a partner and they can save it, they will probably want half (and that's probably fair). If you would fail without them, and they know it, you'll be hard pressed to find someone for less.
Why is they a bad choice? It's worked forever and is already part of the language. Languages evolve.
The NoScript add-on can help ... on desktop browsers, anyway.
Of course it can: monopolies, collusion, corruption at the highest level, lobbying.
I have a bunch of ARM boards around, as well as, a headless x86 server for personal media archive, plus some number of rented virtual servers in the cloud.

Basically, Chromebook is a terminal + a browser for me.
I don't think 250GB will fit in memory on any reasonable sized box. What world do you live in?
Sounds like that would void the warranty? I've never had to do something like that to install Linux on a laptop before.
Yep, they're explicitly trying to do that.

For what it's worth, you can still use "options hashes" in your argument APIs in strong mode using objects; you just write a library function something like:

function options(options, defaults) {
// the final args start off as a clone of the default args
let args = Object.clone(defaults);

// we then loop through the keys and copy in any overrides
for(let key of Object.keys(args)) {
// ignore inherited properties and skip missing ones
if(args.hasOwnProperty(key) && options.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
args[key] = options[key];
}
}

// args now has all of the overrides from options
return args;
}

And then in all your functions that take options objects:

function bakeBread(ingredientOverrides) {
let ingredients = options(ingredientOverrides, {
flourType: 'whole wheat',
sugarAmount: '3 tbsp',
waterAmount: '1 cup',
milkAmount: '0.3 cups',
flourAmount: '4 cups'
});

let batter = mix(ingredients);
return bake(batter);
}

JS is still quite dynamic, even in strong mode — you can define arbitrary objects and types at runtime, and easily inspect/reflect on them — it's just a little harder to silently corrupt data.

The neat thing about using named arguments with objects is that in typed variants of JS — for example, TypeScript, or perhaps someday SoundScript — you can actually typecheck them! Maps can't do that in any language I know of: by design they can contain anything.

I assume you're in Europe? Europe historically doesn't mind tyranny, dictators, oppressive governments and the like. I understand the current period is a bit of an aberration. You can thank the US and the USSR later. But based on your comments, if things swung back to their historical norm ... you would what? File a legal complaint?

The US government has done some horrible things in the past. It will do so again in the future. That is the nature of governments. If enough becomes enough, it is the peoples' right to choose to defend themselves against tyranny. That's at the very foundation of our country. It's how it was born. It's how we were able to fight off European tyranny and gain independence.
THIS! "What is clickable" is one of the first things the mind wonders when presented a new page. If the true answers aren't obvious in 0.3 seconds, it's a bad design.

The latest UI trends to remove "button style" and go to "flat" and just text is a prime example of how we've gone the wrong direction.
Yep, not to mention the manufacturing technologies required to meet the length matching and impedance targets. It's probably not realistic for hobbyist projects. I think this is mostly useful as a reference for making other types of adapters that might only need to use USB 2.0, but still need the microcontroller to negotiate the Type C stuff.

edit: There are two other open source Type C projects (and they stick with the Hostess snack theme):

http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/twinkie

It does break fundamental uses of the language. Throwing on missing properties is a near-hostile change for most current JS developers.

The given justifications for doing this, though, seem to be all about performance rather than an attempt to evolve the language.

If that's true, I think it's possible the proposal has a naming problem.

Calling it "use strong" implies that this is about evolving the JS language so that devs are spending time writing more strongly-typed code.

Calling "use optimize" would make it a lot clearer that this is not an attempt to Java-ify JS, and this is more something you'd primarily invoke for performance-critical code paths.
For anyone looking for an answer, I found a good guide: http://slicingpie.com/

The author has a couple of books on the subject as well as videos and slideshows. It works for any type of business. It's a pretty comprehensive and fair system which I'll continue to explore.
