At the point when Lovecraft was writing, dreaming was intimately connected with a new, exciting science - psychology and psychotherapy.

And the technology's all around - it's explicitly stated both in Lovecraft and subsequent folk who build on the Mythos that the Great Old Ones, the Mi-Go, the Great Race, and others aren't supernatural entities, but aliens with mathematics and magic we don't understand.

I may be naive but I don't think there ends are that cloudy Their inability to understand that while they may have noble ends but that they won't be in control forever, they aren't capable of protecting this knowledge from nefarious entities even if they did everything they could and they they don't comprehend all the the side effects of their quest for knowledge including opening up holes that can let other nefarious entities gain access too.

I don't think it's stupidity that cause them to not understand but more cognitive dissonance led by their absolute belief that what they are doing is for the good of all.
Maybe I didn't word my question correctly. I was wondering why you actively chose to repeatedly ignore my issue with including a closed platform by default. I repeatedly stated that this was my main issue and that the UX was an aside to what I felt was the issue that needed to be addressed.

Why did you feel it necessary to ignore that issue completely over several comments directly addressing it?
I would add a couple tech management skills like:
1. Understanding the 'soft' nature of software
2. Iterative development

And one non-tech:

No, it quite simply does not.
I've seen some interesting points in this thread about target users of the product and the big issue seems to be:

- Target user group is unlikely to spend this much on the type of equipment and/or isn't technically inclined enough to leverage it.

At first glance I'd say this is fair, based on traditional markets and camera use but I'd argue 2 things:

1. The demand of this type of product is likely to rise. As self broadcasting goes up, the demand of this type of ingenuity will rise. What Twitch is doing for gaming, this could help bring along for many other areas of interest.

2. Through internal development or by going open source, the development of tracking could be increased to support a number of different objects. Pucks/Balls in sports in particular could be very interesting to automate the recording of sporting events.

With these 2 points noted, I can imagine the use of these in a number of scenarios- for consistency of an argument, I'll take the use case of hockey.

If I'm a minor league hockey team, if I can obtain the proper quality of cameras at a reasonable enough price to surround my rink, along with the proper tracking system applied to each player and devices of the game (pucks, nets), and if I can coordinate this with software to turn on which devices I follow per camera at any point, I could create a system for broadcasting a top quality version of my game online without the cost of camera men as well as the space that may be required for the setup.

Additionally, if I'm the team, I could use this in practice to follow each of my players setting a camera to each so that I can review their particular actions and do video review with each - without having to limit what gets taped for each guy or having multiple camera guys at each practice.

Add this to object recognition software and I could start using the cameras to collect more about where people are on the ice during games and plays and push along my ability to analyze what is happening and how I can work on tactics/strategy to manage it.

Again, a lot of this is relying on additional software/tracking/processes but I believe as a technology, it's empowering. I'm not sure the current use case/expected market is ready for this (or at least not in the form it's likely to have technically) but I believe in a few iterations, we'll see something that serves a significant market share, especially if the product roadmap includes abilities and integrations to further its use with other software and mutiple unit tracking capabilities.
Like the question of whether a submarine can swim, the question of whether algorithms can be prejudiced is moot. Algorithms can, without their developers ever intending it, perform in ways functionally equivalent to prejudice. It is reasonable to seek to avoid them doing so.

Too long of a queue could discourage customer attendance as well, as people may not want to wait a long time, no matter how prestigious the business is. In addition, a lesser-known business could use lower wait times as a competitive advantage.

What really matters, in my opinion, is whether having a long line during certain peak times generates more revenue for the business (by being able to charge more, or by gaining attention due to its long queues) or whether providing a faster and better customer experience with shorter wait times does (and perhaps more customers during non-peak times)

Whether one is better than the other may depend completely on your business. Also, I'm not sure this technology forces you to publish your current density information. You could simply use the information for business intelligence gathering and for providing promotions during non-peak times.

Algolia's Fury Road to a Worldwide API
Imposing sanitary standards from the centre sounds great but in reality is one countries ideals being pushed onto another's. For example, the EU is trying to prevent restaurants serving olive oil from jugs: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/10064787...

This might seem sensible to many in Northern Europe, but I imagine that in the Mediterranean this is almost an attack on their culture. If countries like Britain and Germany want higher hygiene levels on the olive oil served in their restaurants then they can do that themselves but they shouldn't be imposing that onto Spain and Italy.

Part of the excitement on travelling to other countries is the differences; the longer the EU goes on with it's powertrip the more homogenised we will become.

I have a very strong belief that Parkinson's will be completely cured by the time I could be at risk. It has been completely reversed in several animals with the use of a few different types of stem cells.

yea, the problem is I highly doubt it actually works well for the football use case. Think about a basketball or football game. What happens when the QB fires a pass? How does the cam know which player to follow? What about a bball fastbreak where a bunch of players are moving and only one player is moving far ahead of the others, how does it know to follow him? For boxers, and skateboarders I could see this working easily though...
If we "need to give free stuff to those who are statistically less likely to win in it in competition," we should do it openly, as a transfer, rather than rig every algorithm and, even worse, sabotage our medical knowledge.

Definitely true about science on it's own not being robust enough -- but I think you might be going a bit too far saying that "without a robust model of human metabolism/nutrition we just can't make claims like this". Yes, such a model would be awesome, but since it's not forthcoming any time soon, it is still useful in the meantime to be able to make claims of this nature using other evidence, such as experiments and even statistical studies, as long as we don't take results for 100% truth (although, taking model results for 100% truth would not be a good idea either).
Two points -- what you're describing is a republic moreso than a democracy, and those are pretty sticky indeed.

Startups aren't as black and white for you to be able to say for every startup, there should be 1 technical founder and 1 non-technical founder and each have roles XYZ. The truth is every company is different and the roles you need to fill should be clearly understood by you and your cofounder(s). It is important to outline what key functions and skills are necessary for your company and focus on those. It is important that the collective knowledge of your founders encompass all that is necessary for your startup to be successful. For example, someone on your team will need strong industry knowledge.
I agree. Using Electron on all of these desktop application "frameworks" keeps seeming like throwing a supertanker at a job when someone asked for a tugboat. I feel like this will only continue to bloat so many applications further, and will make writing (and refactoring) GUI applications more difficult.

I wish however, you'd include a section that provides a reasonable explanation as to why Workroom got a 950% increase in traffic. I'm thinking that if I saw that a place was full, I'd be less likely to head over there. But, if I didn't know, I'd probably give it a whirl. Alternatively, if I've gone there a bunch of times and it's always been full, I just wouldn't go. What exactly is happening?
Ask HN: How do you stay sharp?

I'm a product manager at a tech company. I read. I work on side projects. I learn new programs like Sketch, take classes on Udemy and Coursera, but do not feel like I'm learning as much as I'd like. I'm not learning that much on the job anymore, just adding value to the company.

Update: wow, thanks for all the advice. I'll definitely read through all of it. But beyond advice, I'm also curious what do smart people (like you) do to continue growing in terms of activities.
On #2 - Java 1 code using the public API (java.*) will run in Java 8. Using internal APIs was never considered forward compatible.
But a new model should be that: a new model, not a suicide pact. Wise engineers keep the old API working while offering the new API (which, soon enough, will acquire its own gronkiness.) See the x86 and OS9/OSX evolutions, for example.

Thinking about the domain problem in the abstract is smart. Thinking about the current system in practical terms is wise.

If there are intentional cross subsidies than it isn't insurance. The concept behind insurance is to spread risk, not to spread cost. There's value in insurance exactly because there are risks (i.e. the future isn't perfectly predictable). But improving our ability to predict the future is a good thing, not a bad thing. It is true that it would make insurance useless, but insurance is not the only mechanism for subsidizing those in need, in fact it is a pretty terrible mechanism for that, since it only works that way inasmuch as it is imperfect.

The root of your argument seems to be that we need to trick people into helping other people. That seems to be an ultimately futile strategy. Better to really convince them.

> Wouldn't it mean that google maps is influencing and even creating the traffic patterns ?

I'm pretty sure I've observed this in the wild. Occasionally there's a major accident on a freeway in Denver that totally stops traffic. People that know the area well enough hop off the first exit they can and find the most straightforward way over to a major arterial road running in the same direction. Maps sometimes comes up with the theoretically-fastest route that requires lots of turns through neighborhoods, so you'll see a whole conga line of cars piling through suburban streets and congesting the whole area.
I'm not going to go to a pub full of rapists and pedophiles just because the local Linux User Group sets up shop at the corner table.

Benchmarking Java Logging Frameworks
Immediate use: presentations, accurately tracking the speaker without having to hire someone to keep camera on subject the whole time. Even moreso when multiple cameras. Just need one A/V control booth person, much cheaper to buy several of these than hire several cameramen.

Frameworks and languages have a part in defining the structure of the organization, how development grows, how people's work is measured, and so on. It will ultimately have a significant role in office politics. Once a company scales past 25-100 people, developer politics will be there to stay regardless of language. So you have to pick what kind of trade offs you want to deal with. And a founder should be the informed final word on that crucial choice

Yes, but what I’m saying is: If you only increase taxes and shut down spending to a minimum, you’ll either get a revolution, or the next election will lead to a government that just stops the Austerity.

You have to show the people at the same time that they gain something, too – for example, while you reduce corruption in tax spending, one of the first priorities should be improving performance of Police and similar public services. You can save a lot of money there while at the same time providing a better service. That leads to better public acceptance.
