I have been a CEO of a startup 2x, so my response just reflects what I've learned is best for myself and my past companies:

* Call an existing client. Maintain the relationship.
It's easy to always just focus on what's next down the pike, but the best way to get new clients is to have happy existing clients, and it's amazing how a simple call or a drink with one can make them forgive/forget the little issues that arise, or become your strongest advocate.

* Take a group of junior team members out to lunch.
Again, easy to get 'head down' and rely on your exec team for insight to company morale or suggestions. But there's nothing like caring about every level of person on your team and treating them with respect and an open door policy. I have had some executives say they are uncomfortable with a CEO 'mingling' with their teams. I think that is only happening if the CEO is creating a distraction, or undermining the execs in some way (or the execs are misrepresenting or creating politics on their teams) - none of these things should happen. You should be doing more listening than talking during these outings.

* Research what's happening outside your bubble.
It's easy for myopia to set in when you're working so intensively. It's good to be current and forward-thinking, and inspired by outside industries/sectors.

* Be healthy.
Echo-ing other sentiment expressed before me - being physically strong helps you be mentally strong. It only takes 30minutes a day to clear your head.

* Talk to other CEOs.
Whether it's YPO, old college friends, new entrepreneurs, whatever - no one understands the trials and tribulations of being a CEO other than someone who has lived it. I spent so much time focusing on what I could do for my company, I didn't think 'networking' was worthwhile. But I learned later that surviving the struggle is easier when you realize you're not alone.
The way business logic in the system is currently designed , there are no 'common ones', except for some ids (already indexed) used in other process rather than this dynamic filter.

Based on that we also evaluated the approach of using something else like druid [1] [2] that is built for reading performance, but I am still studying possibilities and have no idea about the impact and problems a change like that would impose.

There's a different mental model for employees in a corp vs startup. I fully agree with nonstrademons quote, "if you do nothing - is that you run out of money and starve".

Put it this way:

A startup is like the reality show Survivor. People scrambling around, focusing on the most important problem at hand - making fire. If you're not contributing, it's easy to see and you get voted off the island (or run out of money and starve).

A corporation is a much different setting. You're not alone in the dark on an island. You don't care about fire, you have electricity, some other guy figured out fire and electricity. You have your marching orders to focus on but they're abstract. Contributions are usually not as visible The big problem is too far away. The real problem is not understood anymore.

The real question is, how do you take away electricity and get the corporate group to focus on fire like a startup? One option is the corporation needs to borrow some of those fire making talents to spread the thought of flame. Acquisition could be one route.

When you have people starting to leave the safety of electricity it's because the primal thought of making fire is more appealing and exciting. You need to bring back the flame.

Out of curiosity, is it also your only computer? (Aside from a phone / tablet)
According to wikipedia, Cody Wilson has a Type 7 FFL. If he then acquired Class 2 SOT status, he personally would be able to manufacture his own machine guns (but not transfer ownership of them to the general public).

According to this article from March 2013 (http://www.solidsmack.com/cad-design-news/click-print-gun-wa...), he was seeking Class 2 SOT status at the time and anticipated getting it in early April 2013. I don't know what the outcome of that was.

However considering journalists' reputations for gun knowledge, I am skeptical as well. (I'm also not an expert on gun law, so anyone please correct me if I am mistaken.)
Looking forward to reading this too. For the opposite trajectory (Haskell towards Racket) see this page from a little while back: http://artyom.me/learning-racket-1
Yeah, too bad, but the thing I wonder is, if it got built, what would they name the next, bigger, one.

That's interesting if true. The faster YC companies fail, the faster YC can bring in new startups. The odds of success for a fresh company are probably better than the odds of success for a failing company, and if so then they have an incentive prune failing startups as quickly as possible. An easy way to do that is to limit funding to the bare minimum required for success.

So... there actually wasn't an experience system in Classic Traveller. MegaTraveller had one but I don't think it actually had any relation to age or existing skill levels, just whether the character accomplished tasks or not.

Anyway, Traveller was unusual in that it used age in a slightly meaningful way, but it definitely got away from the trope of all PCs being young and/or inexperienced.
Heartbeat sharing as the new social gesture
This is good, for what it's worth. Having different feature sets for sharded vs unsharded is just utterly confusing, and something MongoDB got really wrong.
"A startup is a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model"

"A company is a permanent organization designed to execute a repeatable and scalable business model"

With modern rates of change, I would argue there are very few repeatable and scalable business models (over long time periods, especially in technology driven businesses).

Meaning many "companies" would be better off acting as a "startup" (scared not to innovate), constantly seeking to replace themselves...before another startup does.
No ethernet seems to still be a big painpoint with the people I work with.
Well that's why I suggested chaotic neutral as an alignment for your requirement. I think this would work well for your goals. It can be fun & challenging to play other alignments too however. Like an alignment that least resembles yourself or your natural personal tendencies.

Have a look.

A Chaotic Neutral character is an individualist who follows his or her own heart, and generally shirks rules and traditions.[citation needed] Although Chaotic Neutral characters promote the ideals of freedom, it is their own freedom that comes first; good and evil come second to their need to be free. Chaotic Neutrals are free-spirited and do not enjoy the unnecessary suffering of others. A Chaotic Neutral character does not have to be an aimless wanderer; it may have a specific goal in mind, but its methods of achieving that goal are often disorganized, unorthodox, or entirely unpredictable.[citation needed] If a Chaotic Neutral joins a team, it is because that team's goals happen to coincide with its own at the moment, but it invariably resents taking orders and can be very selfish in its pursuit of personal goals.

A subset of Chaotic Neutral is: "strongly Chaotic Neutral", describing a character who behaves chaotically to the point of appearing insane. Characters of this type may regularly change their appearance and attitudes for the sake of change, and intentionally disrupt organizations for the sole reason of disrupting a lawful institution.[citation needed] This includes the Xaositects from the Planescape setting, and Hennet from the third edition Player's Handbook. In Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Chaotic Neutral was mistakenly assumed to refer to this subset.
>some system of anarchy

I don't think you quite understand the point of anarchy.
Speaking personally, I think on average it takes me about 30 to 80 articles from a divergent field to get a grasp of what's going on.

At the same time, when I go into forums like these, I'm aware of what kind of crowd I'm going to get: while most people give their off-handed dismissal "Omg, that n size. 120 is way too small for something so important."

What we might need is a general and informal rule that science-based posts should have at least several studies in good standing.

I'd say that a sizeable part of App Store sales or downloads are impulsive purchases: i.e. you think you need something or are in the mood of playing some game and you can't resist hitting the button. If you can't make that impulsive purchase now, you tend to forget about it until you are in the right mood again. My take is that a very high amount of sales has been lost, not deferred.

According to your article your problems with sexual harassment started at age 14 and continued later for many years by many different people including multiple rapes. A sane person would go to the police and try to stop it. They will certainly not attribute it to the "tech industry" since it is started much before you have been involved in any industry and as we all know it can happen everywhere.

I got a feeling you made sure you go out with the story after the time to make a complain expired just so you won't have to actually prove that all the things you mentioned actually happened. I can't say it for sure but this is my subjective feeling.

You basically took your own personal experience and try to attribute it to all the faceless people in the industry, those people can't really defend themselves, what are they going to say? "We didn't rape anybody", after all you blamed the whole industry and by association everybody who is part of it. The same thing you did with your actual rapist, instead of bringing them to justice you have waited until you can't do it and now you can just spread rumours without any consequences.
Not sure I should promote the competitors, but SmartNews is doing a great job with their offline read mode (just double tap on the news, instead of a single tap).

By direct experience, at Theneeds the majority of the complains that we receive from users are about ads - and we have no ads, we just embed the original sources into an iframe (which is of course something the average user doesn't understand - for him, we're putting ads).

I'd be interested in understanding what does Betty (or equivalent) think about a recommended stream approach, where you can at least have a preview of several news without incurring in ads/abnormal things... and ok, you'll have ads if you want to read the full article.

I don't think so. This is similar to HubSpot's policy (and probably influenced) of "Use Good Judgement". You can read more about it in the culture deck[1], but it's incredibly liberating and means there is a culture of trust rather than rules and regulations. And in most places, employment is at-will anyways so outside of illegal reasons, you can get fired for any old reason anyways.

mbed is an example of a startup that was born within a large organisation, ARM.
Could anyone mention other examples ?
Agree. But I think that's the idea behind the concept. Don't want to spend time worrying about it, but if there is a known defect discovered later about something I bought, I would like to know about it.

Assuming it's as easy as lifting my phone and scanning a barcode after the occasional toy purchase. Then I can forget about it.

Agree you can't give up common sense, and you shouldn't obsess about it, but it's silly to not remove a toy if there is a known defect that causes deaths.
How One Developer Serves Millions of Beers: Untappd and Iron.io
Unfortunately, that's already reality in some areas with usable (though not great) LTE coverage. Having a more direct LOS to the balloon is a significant mitigating factor.

There's also a factor not being noted here. The population at which a cell tower is feasible may drop substantially if the uplink consists of pointing an antenna at these balloons, increasing the number of relatively tiny villages that can have semi-conventional LTE service.
TinyDB: a tiny document oriented database optimized for happiness
I don't think it is illegal anywhere. It might be illegal for Netflix to fire people over "violations" of such a "policy" -- but I don't really think that'll be an issue either. It's not a policy that lends itself to firing people because some manager didn't like them (which, incidentally is illegal many places anyway). But if someone were to actually "work against the company's best interested" repeatedly, that'd typically be a firing offence anyway. That'd be stuff like not actually doing work, stealing, sabotaging and/or leaking company secrets etc.

I think it sounds great to not have a lot of pretend-policy that does no good other than pretend to cover the ass of inept management.
You guys have poor sarcasm detectors...
You could do Chrome OS development, but there's always the looming threat that it'll nuke your environment.
Aha! I thoroughly enjoyed reading all that, and do hope you continue. It sounds like you're at or slightly ahead of my level of Haskell experience (I knew you'd need Eq before you did! But then the Applicative stuff was beyond me...), so this is very insightful for me as I wonder whether to try picking it up again.

"Fine. It's good enough. Moving On." made me laugh! It seems like you thought that could be refactored in a much simpler way. Not knowing (much) Racket, it didn't appear super obvious to me how. Were you alluding to a macro or something? How would you do it in Racket?

It's odd to suggest that any discussion of possible changes to the law counts as moral philosophy. As for your last two sentences, there's quite a large middle ground between strict demonstrative reasoning and purely emotional argument. In general, it's rare for moral argument to be a strictly demonstrative affair. So yes, it frequently involves an appeal to principles that don't fully generalize. Aristotle has a nice way of putting it:

"Our discussion will be adequate if it has as much clearness as the subject-matter admits of, for precision is not to be sought for alike in all discussions, any more than in all the products of the crafts. Now fine and just actions, which political science investigates, admit of much variety and fluctuation of opinion, so that they may be thought to exist only by convention, and not by nature. And goods also give rise to a similar fluctuation because they bring harm to many people; for before now men have been undone by reason of their wealth, and others by reason of their courage. We must be content, then, in speaking of such subjects and with such premisses to indicate the truth roughly and in outline, and in speaking about things which are only for the most part true and with premisses of the same kind to reach conclusions that are no better. In the same spirit, therefore, should each type of statement be received; for it is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits; it is evidently equally foolish to accept probable reasoning from a mathematician and to demand from a rhetorician scientific proofs."

I really wish projects like this wouldn't register their own domain names.

The likelihood that vanity domains for new JavaScript libraries will still be renewed in 10 years time is pretty low - if they used rivetsjs.github.io instead there would be a much higher chance of links continuing to work far into the future.

The firearm in question would have to have been in very poor condition, causing it to slam fire, or have been modified for that to happen (or caused by ammo with really unusually sensitive primers, but that seems even less likely). The differences are key enough that it's really hard to do accidentally and I imagine that one prepared for a journalist would not have had its fire control parts mangled ahead of time or its firing pin jammed forward.

That said, if they have an SOT (which they were trying to get) it's entirely possible that it was made full auto from the start.
That's what is so silly about this.

Anyone soon will be able to SLS (laser sinter) guns at home. How many people can you kill with a gun? 50? 100? 200? What happens when I'm able to build viruses and bacteria at home with openly available DNA sequences?
So... a lot of comments in this thread seem to equate "engineering grad school" with CS or EE.

There are some other branches of engineering too and the non-EE types outnumber the EE's. Pretty sure the programs in questions are mostly civil, mechanical, chemical, etc.
I think that those people will acknowledge that the formatting of the code is secondary to its working--once it works, the whitespace is just a matter of making it more presentable.

If you had working code--and it was elegant, and easy to maintain, and fixed a real problem--I find it unlikely that you were put down by people that really grok being a hacker. I'm sorry for your experience there.

And before you point out that that definition allows me to neatly exclude the people that make hackers look bad--well, that's kinda the point. Similarly, I try not to judge all MRAs by the ones that make death threats, nor feminists by those that are rabidly opposed to transwomen.
The problem is that mainstream consumers don't want nor need voice control. Voice recognition is good enough, but handling of free-form commands is a problem we haven't solved sufficiently well for mainstream enjoyment. Old people is rarely a target demographic for anything.
How much more resolution will this have compared to Hubble? I know this is on earth, while Hubble is in space, so I assume Hubble avoids the distortions from the earth's atmosphere, but I'm not sure exactly how much of an advantage this is for Hubble.

You mean on HN? It wasn't flagkilled: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8283583, nor did moderators touch it. It did, oddly, set off the voting ring detector. It also got oddly little discussion, although maybe that was because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8080442 was where all the comments went.
