What are chances of startup getting funded if it has multiple-unrelated products
I read the post talking about an entrepreneur working in multiple startups(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5454804) at a time which brings me to this question. If there are 2-3 cofounders(or may be 1 founder) who work on 2 different unrelated unique products(such as one being a social networking website the other being a financial services iOs app) and they constitute this as 2 products under 1 company(just like Automattic Inc has multiple products), what are the chances of this company getting funded? I mean how do the investors/incubators/accelerators look at it? Is it the same as working on multiple startups at one time?
My Views:
The positive side being not all the eggs are in one basket so if one fails the other can become the product the company runs on.
Doesn't the arrival of man-made earthquakes signify the departure of even larger natural earthquakes? This would oddly strike me as possibly a valid use of fracking technology -- forcing earthquakes before tension builds to catastrophic levels.

(If so, I'd prefer we did this without pulling up more petroleum products.)

Disclaimer: I skimmed the article. Also, I'm against a future built on petroleum and fracking in general.

It's still H.265. Like past standards, HEVC/H.265 is a joint effort between ISO's MPEG and the ITU's VCEG. They're different identifiers for different organizations.

Intermittent fasting isn't necessarily the same as calorie restriction. It's pretty tolerable if you eat a normal amount of calories, but contained within a 4-6 hour window at night.

I think 'life extension' is not the right way to view it, since living longer is not worth it if you aren't healthy and happy while doing so.
> we set out to build and deliver Google’s infrastructure to everyone else

This statement rings pretty true as Kubernetes (also known as k8s) has some Google biases. Not all cloud providers will have such an easy time providing all the infrastructure necessary to run CoreOS + k8s smoothly.

For example, Kubernetes assigns each Pod (k8s unit of computation) an IP address, which is only simple to do if your cloud provider supplies something like a /24 private block to your nodes. CoreOS came up with the VXLAN-based Flannel project to make this model more portable[0], but Layer 2 over Layer 3 isn't something I'd like to throw haphazardly into my production environments. Google Compute Engine conveniently provides this setup as an option.

Another example of Google-favoritism is the strong preference of centralized storage--particularly GCEPersistentDisk. At first I was concerned about centralized storage by default as we know disk locality is a Good Thing (TM), but after reading a paper that claimed networking is improving faster than disks are[2], I felt somewhat better about this. However, it's still pretty obvious that a Google Persistent Disk is the way to go with k8s[3].

That said, I'm really happy that Google has open-sourced this project because it is indeed a functioning, tested, and easy-to-use distributed system. I'm sure that the devs aren't aggressively shutting out other cloud providers and that these biases are probably just a side-effect of their resource allocation process and the problems that they intend to solve (e.g. GCEPersistentDisk used to be a core type instead of a module--it has since gotten better). It's still important to evaluate a technology's biases and potential evolution before throwing your product on it.

Good idea, saved it for later in the rush to transcribe.
Kubernetes is the perfect complement to CoreOS, and it's the type of cluster manager we would have built over time -- thanks Google!

We started building fleet from the ground up with plans to build a higher level tool on top, which would provide the application centric workflows you see in Kubernetes. But like all decisions at CoreOS, we only build stuff we have to build. When Kubernetes came out we quickly started evaluating it for our needs. It turns out it's a great fit, which is why we built Tectonic around it.

Kubernetes adds a lot of value to the container ecosystem and is grounded in the same roots as other CoreOS projects: opensource and highly collaborative. Both CoreOS and Kubernetes want to see our components leveraged outside of our commercial products, but we also feel that we can offer the best experience by combining them into focused offerings for people looking for a complete package.

Obviously not so much for the kind of memory errors the GP is talking about, but clang/clang++ do provide similarly detailed error messages, including suggestions for name-related errors as to what you might have meant (either because a different variable provides the member you specified or becuase of a similarly spelled name).
"What is the moral code of altruism? The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, virtue and value.

Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will or respect for the rights of others. These are not primaries, but consequences, which, in fact, altruism makes impossible. The irreducible primary of altruism, the basic absolute, is self-sacrifice—which means; self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction—which means: the self as a standard of evil, the selfless as a standard of the good.

Do not hide behind such superficialities as whether you should or should not give a dime to a beggar. That is not the issue. The issue is whether you do or do not have the right to exist without giving him that dime. The issue is whether you must keep buying your life, dime by dime, from any beggar who might choose to approach you. The issue is whether the need of others is the first mortgage on your life and the moral purpose of your existence. The issue is whether man is to be regarded as a sacrificial animal. Any man of self-esteem will answer: “No.” Altruism says: “Yes.”"

I always visit the site: http://www.thewholestreet.com/
well atleast my feed reader does.

What's this site's value proposition?

Looking at this some more here are some ideas...

1) There is a very small community of people who do algorithmic trading, this is probably your core audience. Unfortunetly we're scattered all over at places like http://www.wilmott.com/index.cfm and nuclear phynance. What you do to get people like us probably dictates how successful your site becomes

2) There is a much bigger set of people who like the idea of maybe one day doing algorithmic trading or like to keep up on it once in a while. These people will bring eyeballs but probably add very little of value to the discussion.

Not because they are less worthy but because of the same reason the average person can't contribute to mathoverflow.com, you need to have your head in this space almost full time to contribute.

So I think the question you need to answer is:

Why is a semi pro trader( someone who trades up to 2 million of their own money), taking 30 minutes out of their day to read your site?

What value do you bring over already established discussion forums?
That's my point - an entertainer usually has an audience centered around their personality and it's derivatives. As a startup your audience is much more vague, often almost everyone. And when you do have an audience it's probably centered around something different.
His comment is right in that all of Rust's values do have move semantics by default (checked by the compiler), that's not specific to Box<T>.
He claims to be familiar with the contents of every document, even if he hasn't read them all.

>> would it be "too far" to release the entire list of CIA field agents and their covers around the world to two journalists at a foreign newspaper because of that one group of agents? It absolutely would be and would potentially put shitloads of lives at risk. Snowden basically did the same thing with the NSA information.

>> he basically gave Greenwald & Co. unfettered access to a huge swath of the NSA's internal operations. That's too far for me. It's an issue of scope.

Since you admit that you don't know what exactly is in that data dump, perhaps you'd care to make a verifiable argument as to why what Snowden did was too far? Currently you are just using your own assumption that he went to far as your evidence.

I was so happy to read this. I completely agree with Linus' criticisms of the pull request system that GitHub has popularized. They've deeply embedded really bad habits into programmers. I used to wonder "Why do some projects still do patch review on a mailing list?" and then I realized it was for the reasons that Linus gave here.
So, can anyone cite any reasoning suggesting that we aren't going to trigger the Yellowstone Supervolcano with fraking?

Just curious.

> Sure enough, he says that in 2013 he donated more than $100,000, roughly half his pretax income.

This is pretty impressive to me. Many will say "well, if half of it is 100k, he still has at least 100k", except this is pretax, meaning he keeps less than 100k; besides, before saying it's not a big deal, how much are you contributing?

I personally donate 40% of my post tax income anonymously to various initiatives/organizations, which means even less pretax, but that's what I can afford without jeopardizing my family's well being.

It doesn't have to be monetary, but a little bit of help goes a long way. I'm glad there are people who do whatever they can to help out with the less fortunate.
You are kidding right? This has nothing to do with "Soviet-style suppression, but state sponsored censorship". It is the Park service doing its job. It IS vandalism. Plain and simple.

I'm saying we shouldn't have unjust laws. But since we do, we shouldn't treat them all as slaves. I'm saying we shouldn't have innocent people in prison, but that's impossible to prevent. And since we do, again, we shouldn't treat them all as slaves.

I'm more interested in prison for rehabilitation than I am as punishment. I'd rather we reduce the recidivism rate than bask in schadenfreude. I'm more interested in addressing why we have the highest per capita incarceration rate of any first world nation.

I think he was more talking about the unique ownership part, especially that values themselves follow the same rules.

Which I find fitting, since in Rust, the Box is (at least to me) more about indirection. The single-owner semantics just come in because Box follows the same rules as anything else, while for unique_ptr they are part of the pointer concept.

Kubernetes doesn't compete with CoreOS except in that both CoreOS and Kubernetes have their own schedulers (fleet and the k8s API server).

However, fleet is designed to be relatively simple, and can be used to deploy 'services' (as in systemd services), while kubernetes is more oriented around deploying 'apps', and provides a much higher abstraction that makes discovery, etc easier.
That monument, if anything, belongs to the city and thus its people.

As for political speech I am quite okay with the rule that you can put up any bust that you have made for your own money, as a private citizen, so long as it is of that quality. I doubt the rule would be abused much.

Very useful!
But your point is moot because the "failings" of models have been very quickly corrected, and they still show that the prevailing conclusions are true.

Models have been "failing" for the past 20 years and they still provide useful information. No one in their right mind is questioning the conclusions. If anything the issue is whether we're facing an apocalypse by 2040 or if things are merely going be catastrophic by 2100.

And just to note: even though the above conclusions show that models have very wide margins, what is indisputable is that no one is claiming that things will get better or that we are not in for major catastrophe. If that isn't a useful model, I don't now what is.
This is one example showing how consumer products have started to drive progress in other fields. In the past it was military or other federal spending, but it seems to have evolved into a more democratic (maybe that's not the best word) process.
An armed assault on Coinbase HQ while staff are present would be a nearly foolproof way to instantly, irreversibly, untraceably obtain a few hundred million dollars of BTC.

Its physical security requirements would be orders of magnitude beyond any other SV startups, even greater than the largest banks (because banks can retroactively reverse transfers and call the police when you try to deposit suitcases of stolen cash). We're talking Federal Government-level security or better, because even US military facilities in the U.S. assume their threats are enemy states, which would have to get through the Navy and Air Force first. We're talking something much closer to an onsite, 24x7 paramilitary force than a guy at a desk in the lobby.

Keeping a low profile would be a good place to start.

Hopefully there are other controls - cold storage can only be accessed by a quorum of people which never under any circumstances exists in one location, etc.

Expecting to ever see inside of Coinbase's HQ is entirely unreasonable, IMO.
Why Employee Onboarding Is Holding Back Your Team, and How to Get It Right

There is NO WAY this is "fair use and free speech". You can't even make that argument with a straight face.
In my hometown there's a mausoleum to a WW1 general that was built in Fascist times.

http://www.ecosistemaverbano.org/scheda.html?id=5955

The roof is held up by statues of service members from various branches... and a Blackshirt.

Every once in a while that gets covered (to signify anti fascism) or uncovered (to signify respect for the artist's intention). It used to be various local administration officials covering and uncovering it. Now it's just random people putting up tarps at night or cutting them down.

The town's official policy at this point is "we ran out of tarps in the early 1990s and don't care anymore".

I wonder how long that tarp will stay :)
It's better to compare RedHat's Atomic Host with CoreOS Linux. Both projects are focused on providing a slimmed down Linux OS focused on running containers in a server environment.

Tectonic would be closer to RedHat's Openshift project/product, but that's not quite right either since Tectonic is not a full blown PaaS solution.

It is not. The hardware decode on a GPU uses specialized inaccessible hardware.
So the website mentions that a Crate cluster is a share-nothing system; That each node can act independently. This would mean that the data is limited to one machines storage size? Doesn't really fit in with the claim of a distributed database unless I'm missing something.
I'm bored of all the Rust vs. C++ comparisons, when the C++ code is something you simply don't write with modern and idiomatic C++11 and C++14. Not that you could not write it, but seeing this would not pass me reviewing the code.

The add_one example, as simple as it is, is a horrible example.

Why not embrace value semantics and write it like:

int add_one(int x) { return x + 1; }

There is simply no need for pointers or references. Write simple code first. To the heap allocation example:

auto x = std::make_unique<int>(5);

Even if this is a silly example, just say no to unnecessary heap allocation. Why not:

int x{5};

Now to the lifted example:

void add_one(std::unique_ptr<int> num) {
* num += 1;
}

This mixes operations with lifetime management. The add_one function does not need to care about ownership. And it does not need to take ownership of its argument. Instead on the call site do:

int add_one(int); // from above

auto p = make_unique(5);
auto six = add_one(*p); // <-

There are valid points in the blog post and I know that most snippets are meant as examples. But as someone writing C++14 you can't win me with those kinds of posts, even though I'm having a fun time playing with Rust in my spare time.

Somewhat off topic, but I'd love to see something more git-like that works for large repositories. I work on video games and our repos are several TB. It's not practical to use git in those situations and Perforce feels too clunky to me.
I know he wants to come to Switzerland (from some of the comments/feelers his people have put out in the last month or so). I really hope he can. If he does there are an endless number of American ex-pats and EU workers that will do what they can to help him here.

He may have some trouble with the Swiss themselves though. They will want to question him about at least one covert operation he states he took part in when he was part of the CIA in Geneva, having to do with a Swiss banker. Frankly, the story sounds like a lie though. (he talks about bribing swiss police which is not something you can do easily here)
While your criticism of losing the ability to easily compare values across columns is valid, that ability is not relevant for many use cases. This use case -- a list of monthly receipts -- is arguably one of those.

Another option here would be to remove less important columns. "Payment #1" seems extraneous. "Period", assuming it is monthly in all cases, could be changed to an abbreviated month name (eg, "Feb"). Now you'd have 3 columns that probably still look okay.

As a general solution for a many-columned table on a small device, I disagree that showing the full table and letting me pinch zoom is a good solution. It's a poor user experience, and I appreciate the designer taking the time to think about what my most important needs are and catering my small screen experience to them.
Isn't shared nothing a scalable architecture?

This tends to break out along political lines.

Christians, people who lean right, etc tend to give to social welfare organizations like the Salvation Army, Goodwill, foodbanks, etc. Basically groups that help out individuals.

Atheists, people who lean left, etc tend to give to artistic or societal organizations like a symphony, Greenpeace, etc.

I think the reasoning for this is simple. People on the right believe it is up to individuals to solve these problems and don't want the government involved. People on the left believe it is the government's role to solve these problems so they address their interests elsewhere.
I don't know about treeline. At a previous company, we committed early on to using Parse and it was a disaster for us. Most of our problems as a company were not technical of course, but pretty much all our serious technical problems can be traced to us locking ourselves into using Parse, when it would have been 1000x easier to just put a server of our own making on Heroku and run a postgres database.

Our userbase was TINY (so you think scaling should not even remotely be an issue), but we had constant downtime with Parse; not to mention we observed between 1% and 3% of all requests to Parse failing for obscure reasons (and it was never clear if it was just our node, or if it was global). I seem to recall the Parse team fixing these, and then repeatedly rolling back their fixes since they would inevitably cause something even more catastrophic to happen. I am sure all of them were working really hard, and I don't want to say anything to make them feel bad, but honestly, the class of problems that plagued Parse (at least at the time I was familiar with it) did not inspire confidence. It is possible that it is much better now; I have not used it in months.

Parse is a lot of fun for quick prototypes and demos, and I recommend it for that if you find yourself wanting to iterate quickly and repeatedly on such things, particularly if most of your "innovation" is happening on a client (like an iOS or Android app, etc.).

That's also a good site. Although, he covers few whitepapers and no news. Also, his blog links aren't curated very aggressively. There is overlap, though. Perhaps over time the comments on Quant News will become part of the appeal. I just got the forum put in last night.

Edit: Thinking about your question...

I think Wilmott and Nuclear Phynance have great communities, but they would be better with a news stream to stimulate the discussion. Things move slowly until an interesting topic comes up. Then a good conversation begins. I also think people want to talk about trade ideas, but they are afraid of giving away proprietary information. So, the academic literature could jumpstart the conversation by providing detailed experiments to discuss.

The Rust documentation on ownership shows examples of function with reference parameters and Box parameters, but nothing like the OP's `fn take_ownership(obj: MyStruct)` example. Is that an oversight in this page in Rust docs?
