I'm not excusing a 10 minute delay. I am just describing what happened, and that the patient did not, in fact, go to jail. In the case of a stroke every second matters. "Time is brain" as the saying goes...

The paramedic absolutely screwed up. He should have called his supervisor, or his medical control physician. He was inexperienced and let himself get pushed around and eventually backed down when he should have stood up for his patient. I still don't see how you can remotely compare that to being a willing participant in a crime.
The large packs are priced at $250/kWh which I think is the real news. That means their cost is very likely under $200. Don't think the other car manuf are close to that.
Was kind of fun the 10 seconds it worked between "SOMETHING WENT WRONG :(
You are not connected to the server." messages the several times I tried.
There are a few of things that I omitted from this version that were usually included or shared in person. Use of proceeds and traction was always shared. We also provided a breakdown of how the pricing worked (as it depended on what you were building).

I usually spoke in more detail about who the team was when I met with someone.

"A system"? Not sure what you mean by that.

To me, it was immediately apparent that they are making the whole word Aerospike look like a rocket, a motif they repeat through their home-page.
I'm not sure what this is. I'm guessing a music sharing site, based on the fact that typing "owner of a lonely heart" into the search box results in a bunch of System of a Down, Beatles, and Lindsey Lohan songs (because apparently Yes is a figment of my imagination), but other than that, I'm at a loss.

We updated the title to use language from the news release, which didn't use the term "money transmitter".
In most cases it's up to the dispatcher, or, more likely, the dispatching software (if the call meets XYZ criteria, dispatch police).
Obey The Testing Goat!. Get yourself the book
Test-Driven Development with Python. It will turn you into a an automated testing wizard. it is a great book and you will learn in no time how to run your automated tests. Then learn Docker and be amazed on how you can use Docker + Jenkins to do automated testing. You will be a God among the QA team and the devs will have lots of respect for you.
Unlike Tolkien, George R.R. Martin never created full-fledged languages for his books, but he did make up a bunch of words. I guess they didn't want to replace those with different words from other real-world languages.

One of the challenges for David Peterson was to 'retrofit' the languages he created to what Martin had already made up. He coined a bunch of words and phrases for the books, and those needed to make sense and be grammatically correct in the newly created languages.

The phrase "valar morghulis", meaning "all men must die" in High Valyrian is a nice example. Peterson made the -ar suffix indicate the collective number. This is expressed by 'all' in English, but in many languages this is a separate number from singular and plural. He also added a paucal number (meaning "a few"). vala (man), vali (men), valun (a few men), valar (all men).
I was under the impression I was the only one. Now I know other people think “great at recalling semi-specific events”.

“Describe the last time you X” This makes me think of transderivational search, a simplistic definition is “thinking”.
No arguments here.
Repatriation is somewhat of a red herring. Money is fungible. Even if it is technically (on the books) "overseas", it can be (and usually is) invested in U.S. markets.

The Case for Microservices in the Enterprise
Thanks for replying! A question: did you ever wonder whether producing such intricately designed collateral actually harmed you from a signaling perspective, by tipping investors that you were focusing a lot on stuff that didn't matter? I ask because I started telling myself that a few years ago (not really so much re: investors, which I thankfully don't have, but other business associates) and I found it very liberating to not have to worry so much about design anymore.
You were down-voted but I secretly agree.

Iterable (https://www.iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA

Come join Iterable. We are bringing the growth hacking tools that consumer Internet companies like Twitter/Facebook build internally to other e-businesses. We aim to build the best user growth engine on the planet. It's crazy how messaging and email usage are changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century. Our team of hackers and thinkers is from quant finance/Twitter/Google, (we built large parts of Twitter's growth systems). One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture. We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here. If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face:

- Scale our messaging API
- Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces
- Write software to build machine learned user models
- Make data visualizations for our email and user data
- Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different:

- We are all very focused on self improvement
- Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want)
- We are chill and empathetic people
- The company is completely transparent

Technologies you'll work with:

- Scala
- ElasticSearch
- Postgres
- Redis
- AngularJS
- Play Framework
- RabbitMQ

You'll get to work with us at our office at 5th and Market in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email me: girish at iterable.com
You lie.

More seriously since I can't be bothered reading another TC fluff piece, did they explain how they are going to make any money out of Yik Yak?
That is perhaps the most passive aggressive "apology" I've ever seen.

> The Hong Kong protests would have sparked a revolution 20 years ago

I'm not advanced on the topic, but as I understand Hong Kong is protesting against the corruption of their new owner, China. And 25 years ago in China was Tianenmen, where the regimen squashed the revolution.

Yes Internet helps centralization too. It matches the concentration of money seen with the new enormous tech corporations.

The irresistible surveillance machine is currently more in the hands of the corporation owners: Facebook has mapped every relationships between people in the world. I'm wondering whether the NSA has a better knowledge than us on our own citizen's communications. I'm wondering whether the NSA provides information to the French government about those communications.
It's not a straight votes vs. posting time chart, but weights submissions by other factors, like how fast the voting goes and other factors I don't even know about.

Anyway, why do you care? I have stupendous amounts of karama but a lot of my submissions sink like a stone anyway, other times I post something that I consider amusing but unimportant and am surprised to find it sitting at the top of the front page hours later. It's not like there's some special store where you get to exchange karma points for cash/equity/delicious cake, although if anyone wants to set that up I would be totally supportive of it.

This isn't the first time you've got upset about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9241171 I suggest you stop worrying about it.
Oh it's heartbreaking to think about. This, now, in the 2010s, is the world we've allowed to happen (or been complicit in building).

I saw this in an article someone sent me recently: ".. a 1965 Senate subcommittee predicted we would be working 14 hours a week by the year 2000, with at least seven weeks of vacation time."

Well, that didn't happen, though our businesses are far more productive than they've ever been in history.

Can anyone offer a defense of the continued 40-hour work week, the lack of paid vacation (or people's general unwillingness to use it?), and the way all those productivity gains have all benefited a very, very tiny amount of people?
You were down-voted but I actually agree. I did conclude the article by saying that templates seem really nice for closing the gap on refactoring code that not even generics could wrap up. So the intention was to convey that templates are really a last resort secret weapon. They just also seem to be pretty easy to understand :)
I'm not so sure. I don't think most people are racist against Klingons, but Klingon still tends to sound harsh — again, because it was designed that way (for example, it leans heavily on stops and affricates and tends to be produced in the back of the mouth). On the other hand, a lot of Americans exhibited a strange antipathy towards the French over the past decade, but it was never considered an ugly language.
Oh! I've been waiting for a good place to ask this. I made www.stripepal.com as a weekend project. It's a super lightweight wrapper built on top of Stripe Checkout and Stripe Connect. Does anyone know if that makes me a money transmitter or money services business?
I wonder how sustainable this is in the long-term: trying to shut down every website/protocol where imaginary numbers that are valued by multiple people are hosted.
I have to disagree...I think your choice of products and the blandness of the customizations may not have buried you, but they certainly helped dig the hole.
I'm really confused on this. I thought that the IRS taxed cyrptocurrencies as property? If that's true, how is the "and selling its virtual currency, known as XRP, without registering" a problem?

I can understand the aspect of transmitting money and how that could get them into trouble, though.
A reason, not the reason. I don't imagine these companies discount the sort of money that the NSA seems willing to throw at these sorts of problems. A sum that will not be gained from what is, given the quality of the microphones and the maturity of the algorithms, a novelty item in other respects at the moment.

If the technology matures, yeah, you'd want to sell it to everyone. (Actually you'd want to sell different forms of the technology to everyone, or at least different licenses, so that you could bleed them of as much money as possible.) But in its current form, and perhaps for some years after depending on how much of an edge you'd think it gave you in the market, you'd want to sell to rich customers who have a strategic interest in the technology and can give you some sort of decent return on your development costs.
Really hard to start something you have to educate people about in the first place, before selling them.

Case in point: it was not quite clear to me what they wanted to do (for a layman like myself in this space) after reading the post-mortem. I felt like I was filling in the blanks in my head and making assumptions.
> French and Italian [0] are considered romance languages, because among other things they sound pretty.

No, they (along with Spanish and others) are considered "romance languages" because they descend from Vulgar Latin, the language of the common Romans of the late Imperial period. [0]

Has nothing to do with sounding pretty.

"And of course, there’s also the question of how Yik Yak will make money — as Crook joked, “don’t worry about the money” is something they say in Silicon Valley, but in New York they say “worry about the money” — a nod to the conference’s New York location.

But that $70+ million in outside funding allows Yik Yak’s co-founders to delay thinking about monetization for some time. Local ads are in the back of their minds, said Buffington, but they are not even looking to test that yet. Instead, the company has the freedom to focus on the user experience and growth, which is what they plan to do."
And it won't take very long either seeing as the owner didn't bother to mask his whois....

"""We were targeting software developers, as we believed we could offer them an entirely new outlet for their creative efforts. But this narrative wasn’t big enough. Investors want to hear a story about changing the world."""

I disagree with this. I think focusing on software developers and making the "hardware side easier" is a viable enough hypothesis. It's better to focus on one segment and understand it well. Have a vague notion of the other potential customers but leave the dreams of hockey sticks to the VCs instead of feeding them imo. Rather focus on whatever segment you identify as a good entry point and validate that is true.
I think a smart VS prefers someone that is laser focused on a segment vs someone that dreams too big early but I might be wrong.
Now we just need some actual replicants and a little bit more smog in SoCal and we'll be all set!
>The core thing you have to realize, is that there is NO reason for a non-technical person to not be as smart/driven as an engineer.

I'm going to push back on that and say there is if you're paying them less than half what you pay engineers, which might be a perfectly reasonable market rate if most of what they're expected to do involves relatively basic admin tasks. That doesn't mean you want to be hiring people that come across as lazy or inept, but it does mean that someone can do an efficient job at managing your office despite being stumped by that very simple conditional probability puzzle. (although if that probability puzzle was based on conversion rates you should perhaps be hoping for a prospective VP Marketing to nail it...)

The flip side is there's no reason why an engineer shouldn't be able to ask a non-technical questions on interviewees' approach to tasks they'll be performing and understand enough of the answers to be reasonably confident of which interviewees are thoughtful about their approach to marketing or operations or customer service. Instead of brain teasers, ask them about problems you actually anticipate them solving.
This Radium has been around since 1999.
Fantastic, brought up memories of hours of Armagetron.
The title currently reads "Ripple fined for acting as a money services business without registration", and the complaint says "Ripple Labs willfully violated several requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) by acting as a money services business (MSB)and selling its virtual currency, known as XRP, without registering with FinCEN".

That looks like the title matches the contents. Did the title change since you wrote the question? It is important on Hacker News, when addressing anything about the title of a submission (or about the precise URL of the submission), to quote the title or URL you are talking about, as moderators sometimes silently change the title or update the URL to point to the actual underlying story rather than blogspam.
Americans have a pithy sound-bite-style quote for that:

"When seconds count, the police are only minutes away."

This is a large and diverse country. There are significant areas of land where the median time until an emergency first-responder will appear is a multiple of the median duration of a typical criminal (or dangerous wildlife) encounter. With the right planning, I could probably walk coast to coast unarmed, without ever feeling unsafe. But if I took my hotel budget and bought a tent and sidearm instead, I wouldn't need to do nearly as much research ahead of time. Besides that, not all dangerous animals are human enough to know the law.

I don't typically go about armed, but several people that I know do. They consider it to not just be protection for themselves, but for their entire community, like vaccinations.

The weapon does not prevent the crime, but it does suggest a more favorable outcome.
> French and Italian [0] are considered romance languages, because among other things they sound pretty.

Not relevant to your point, but just to clarify a common misconception: Romance languages are languages derived from Latin. The name means "language of the Romans", not "language of the amorous".
I was trying to figure out the 'Why' and then I got to Roger Ver being an investor in Ripple.
Band Design Guidelines for Apple Watch [pdf]
So, because I can't resist any new audio toy, I downloaded it and tried it...it locked up X, or the desktop or something, on Fedora 21. Which seems odd, as it's using tk for the interface, which ought to be old and stable, by now. But, maybe nobody is testing current desktops against tk anymore, so bugs don't get found.

Also, the color scheme in the screenshots is really the color scheme; it's not just botched screenshots. Completely unreadable, for me, at any reasonable distance from my monitor. I mean, I understand I'm not so young and my eyesight has never been great, but I can't believe this is a comfortable level of contrast for anyone. Hopefully this is easily configurable.
Ah, while I was writing that sctb replied explaining that they had changed the title.
IF you think back to the days when the USA was founded, there was a great many risks facing the new government-- British spies could have been sent to undermine it, criminals of all manner and sort were out there as well. There were any number of excuses to make banks register transactions, limit ownership of firearms, control speech to stop anti-american and pro-british propaganda and the like.

But they didn't. In Britain, they saw the result of onerous regulations piled on top of each other for decades--- always with good excuses and claims of noble intentions-- and how it stifled the spirit.

As a result they fought, and then they went thru two forms of government in rapid succession ending up with the constitution which was only able to be passed after the Bill of Rights was added.

One of the arguments against tacking on the bill of rights was that by naming these rights they would be limited, and no mere 10 amendments could encompass all of mans rights. Thus, if you read the preamble to the bill of rights you'll notice a curious phrase that makes it clear that the rights are not granted by the constitution and not subject to its interpretation, but universal and pre-dating the constitution.

They chose freedom.

In the past 14 years, since 2001, but also since WWII, 1915 and the civil war to different degrees, we have seen our rights eroded, repeatedly and in small increments. Since 2001 it's been fast enough to be shocking to me, but at this point a 20 year old probably has never known a world without mass survielance.

My point is, people can talk about "money laundering"[1], terrorism and tax evasion-- these are all excuses. (There weren't even federal taxes before 1915, and for good reason. It took a constitutional amendment, which some debate was never properly ratified, to even get them.)

If the USA doesn't turn around and start embracing freedom, then more and more quickly we will slide to the despotism that caused use to leave the British in the first place.

Only in this age there are no colonies-- but there is cyberspace.

When bitcoin is illegal, only criminals will have bitcoin. When the black market grew to a certain size, the USSR fell. There's, in fact, an entire revolutionary movement[2] whose goal is to build and grow a black market to such a size that it forces the government to reveal the violence "inherent in the system" as Monty Python put it.

IF you're a frog in a pot of water, would you rather think of it as a hot tub or leap out into the fire?

You police the interactions between the virtual currency and $COUNTRY banking system. To have any real liquidity, such exchanges need to have valuable reputation, i.e, be organisations subject to the law.

Yes, you can launder money through World of Warcraft but the payments usually go through Paypal. Online poker is another obvious way to launder hit hard by KYC.

> I thought that the IRS taxed cyrptocurrencies as property? If that's true, how is the "and selling its virtual currency, known as XRP, without registering" a problem?

Because tax law and money service business law are completely different areas of law with different applicable definitions, such that what a particular thing is treated as for tax purpose has no bearing whatsoever on how money service business law regards it.

Put the problem the other way around and you will have a wonderful project. Just saying.

Extreme metacognition, like getting yourself out-of-trouble? Given anybody in front of problem tailored for them to fail, they will fail. How much people are not good citizen? More or less than crazy people? Both kind of people harm themselfs. We call only one “crazy”. We call crazy people “crazy” because we don't know how to let them be back and explain in plain text what's harming them.

People study crazy people not only because it's “easy” to extract knowledge and models, but because it's the “good thing”.
EEG is a fundamentally noisy and low bandwidth measurement of neural activity. I work with neural recordings based on intracortical electrodes with resolution of single neurons. I think of EEG as analogous to listening to an orchestra from outside the building. You may hear that there's a bit more brass than strings, and you might get some sense of the overall sound level, but you won't really be hearing the music. To strain this analogy, any time you move your facial muscles, it's like a truck driving by swamping everything out.
hn being rigged

HN is "rigged" in that it has a set of rules that influence ranking. If you don't like those rules, yeah, you won't like it here. If you have some overdeveloped idea about how much attention you "deserve" or something, yeah, you probably won't like it here. HN doesn't exist as some venue for your personal convenience. It is a) part of the business strategy for Y-Combinator and b) a community. Every community has to find ways to balance diverse interests. And since it has a bona fide business purpose, that will come first, before other things. You can thus expect it to remain "rigged" and not live up to whatever imagined ideals you think it should ascribe to. FWIW, I think the fact that it is "rigged" is part of why it is one of the better things on the web.
