I guess the better question would be "how does Kubernetes compares to this"? It's not like Kubernetes is a market leader or anything.
Apologies for the late reply. Most of the time, the company is the driver, since they are the ones with the highest motivation to actually get a clean cap table. Law firms also drive – smart lawyers and paralegals will recognize they can use something like eShares to cut down on work and free up time for more valuable work.

Sure, there are a few companies that it takes a while for everyone to agree on the facts (example: prior CEO raised a bunch of angel capital on bridge notes, but some notes are missing, incomplete, or not executed...) but we have a lot more companies with near 100% acceptance rate of their outstanding cap.
Yup, I had one of these experiences.
Serilog.js JavaScript implementation of Serilog's hybrid text/structured logging
Having just spend part of a week moving off of Google code and now this I am beginning to seriously question my choice to use gmail for my domain email. As someone that uses blogger we didn't have a choice and all photos hosted on blogger got moved to the old picasa years ago and got "upgraded" several times. I wonder what the implications are for this. Will I have to fix all my blog entries? Probably easier to just move off of Blogger while I am at it :(
I did that for a while to hide the random “notifications” from people I had never heard about that appeared every other day on google.com. I had to change the custom style so many times because they changed the ids/classes every other week that now I just logged out of my Google account to not see it.
My first thought when I saw this was that my email is frequently used to sign up for sites like this. I don't think this one in particular, but it got me thinking about the implications.
You should measure this statistically in terms of lives impacted. For instance, a service matching patients to clinical trials could have a massive impact. Ad tech that connects donors to allow free delivery of clean water. It's a false dichotomy to say such work is not impactful.

Good, intuitive portable emergency records would save millions of lives. Checklists (as pioneered by airlines) save lives in medicine. Is a good collaborative checklist technology not up to this standard?
All blogger images by default get hosted there (or in the same backend?).
wow. i have lots and lots of pictures, mostly hosted to share on forums, that were uploaded all the way back on picasa.

then picasaweb. then google photo web. or something. photos still there.

then i was forced to join google+ to continue uploading/editing/sharing. And i think it became google+ photos. or google photos as everyone called it. i can still see all the pictures i uploaded to picasa showing as my pictures on my plus profile.

and now, i have no clue what they mean with this announcement. will i have to migrate? am i already on the right photos? will i lose things if i do not migrate?

i have backups so i can't care less. what worries me A LOT is that those photos are linked on all short of forums and people will not find the information i produced if the links dies.

Thanks for "organizing the world information", google.
Apologies, I should have worded better - AirBnb has the potential to create a superior product.

You'd be surprised at the quality of both WiFi and gyms at high-end hotels.

Standard Xfinity 25 Mbps would have easily beat the outdated WiFi at most luxury hotels (many of these were early adopters of enterprise internet service, thus signed up for long contracts at now outdated speeds)

I would have killed to have access to a 24-Hour Fitness over the gyms at 99% of hotels I stayed at. Most were the size of a small room with 3-5 treadmills, a couple of cycles, and if I was lucky, some outdated weight equipment and a water cooler. I bought national access to any location, so I'd often opt to take a 5-minute Uber (another partnership opportunity) to a remote location rather than using the hotel gym.

I think there is huge potential for them to cobble together an experience with already-existing partners that meets and surpasses a luxury hotel experience. Loyalty programs are already heading here across the Travel industry (SPG+Uber, Delta+Emirates+SPG, United+Uber, etc.). AirBnb should be crushing these given their superior engineering talent and Bay Area location.

If they don't get to it quickly, then somebody else in SF will - Uber, Workday, Zenefits, Hipmunk...
If by 'everyone' you mean 'around 25%'...
Yes. I work for a small company and recently had to spend a few nights in a foreign city. Airbnb let us have an apartment in the centre of the city (we were 100m from the central square) for a fraction of the cost of an equivalent hotel. We didn't care about food because we were eating on expenses for each meal and the local restaurants were probably better than hotel fare. All in all it was a very pleasant stay.

I don't care about getting a gift basket or gym membership or being recognised personally at check-in. Perhaps if I travelled significantly more it would make sense. WiFi and a power socket next to the bed is enough.

The downside was mostly that we couldn't instabook, there's still some required interaction with the host. It means you need to be there on time and so does your host. If something goes wrong, you're at the mercy of a random person to fix it whereas in a hotel there's normally some chain of command.

For instance, our outbound flight was 6 hours delayed (different city) and we arrived at 3am. We were thankfully booked into a hostel for the first two nights with 24 hour reception. If we'd gone for Airbnb, we would likely have been sleeping on the street.

We had a great stay because Airbnb worked. If something had gone wrong, it would have been hell.

I feel that people who are saying that are ignorant.

Even though technically they are partially correct: techies are pushing prices up.

But, of course, that's the SF voters who are mostly at fault here: it's them who limit new housing.
The smart phone has a utility that is very different from that of a watch (or wearable). I don't think that comparison can be made.

> Selling bunches of them is enough to indicate that something will happen in this space

I don't disagree. I am saying that THIS Apple Watch feels like a flop in the long run. They could come out with Apple Watch 2 and knock it out of the park. Or, some other company could do it.
For the average user, there is no difference, all that's happening is that "Google* Photos" is moving to a new domain and getting a bit of a facelift.
These type of communities tend to remind me of the "extreme couponing" crowd and the like.

If you've been on Hacker News long enough, it should have been pounded into your head by now that idea means jack squat in the long run. I've been in this situation now a few times to know now that a vesting agreement is key. Do you have that?

Having cofounders is a touchy subject and any problems arising between you two now is pretty much a guarantee that it will destroy the company in the future. If everything has already been signed and there are no vesting agreements in place, the only way to do this is to buy out your co-founder to avoid any future legal issues. Or you could dilute your co-founder as you bring on outside investment (e.g. Facebook). Either way, there will be some emotion involved. I would shoot for buying out your co-founder in some way, perhaps with a loan of some sort. It's the cleanest and most quickfire solution, especially with you so invested in it. Of course, this is highly dependent on the assumption that you are passionate about what the company is doing and that there is still a great opportunity here.

Props to you though on choosing to deal with the situation now rather than later. Good luck!
I soaked that book up as a 15 year old when it was released. I remember proudly writing a report on it.

In retrospect, The Road Ahead probably had a more profound effect on me than I realized at the time. There's a great quote from the book which sums up why I took hold to computers and software more than many of the other creative and engineering related endeavors I had at the time:

"Computers are great because when you're working with them you get immediate results that let you know if your program works. It's feedback you don't get from many other things."

They are acting like they are a bunch of startup teams constantly getting aqui-hired, with services getting changed, merged or canceled. I couldn't possibly recommend any of their services[1] to non-technical people, at any time something will stop working.

I'm not a wall to throw things at to see what sticks.

It's the same in Europe. You can pay everywhere with any debit card. These cards have both a magnetic strip and a chip. The readers have a slot for reading with the strip and reading with the chip. Most shops have taped the magnetic strip slot shut because it's deemed insecure. Indeed, the only reason that Coin works at all is that magnetic strips can be easily copied, also by criminals with fake readers, or criminals who put a small card copy gadget in front of the reading slot of an ATM machine, along with a camera to capture your pin code.

Then again, the whole credit card system which is popular in the US is even more hilariously insecure (you only need a picture of the card!!) and it doesn't seem to have stopped anyone.

I work on the backend for Google Photos (and Google+ Photos and Picasaweb).

Picasaweb, Google+ Photos and Google Photos all store the photos in the same place.

There was never any need to "shuffle gigabytes of photos" when moving from picasaweb to G+ Photos and there won't be any needed to move from G+ Photos to Google Photos.

I don't see howany of that adds up to "do not rely on Google for your photo storage needs".
Maybe it copy-pasted wrong, but this doesn't look like a solution to me. The output is shorter than the input, and contains commands in a different order.
I suppose it's nice to have a bunch of generic monad functions already implemented for you. Stuff like do-notation, applicative, sequence, mapM, join, etc.
Uh, No. NIMBYism and lack of policies to ensure enough low-income housing is planned and built.

Techies can't rent low-income housing under normal circumstances.

There must be low-income housing available in a city
to ensure that there are places for low income folks with jobs to have shelter. Without these people, the city could not function properly.

Rent control may be necessary in extreme situations where there is a lack of housing for low-income families, but only as a last resort.

Disclosure: I'm a landlord and derive part of my income from rental property I own.
You shouldn't have to change anything.

The blogger photos will still be stored in the same place and the urls should continue to work.

I really enjoy John Markoff's writing and happened to read that article before this was posted. If you really want to understand more of where he is coming from with respect to this article I would recommend reading his book "What the dormouse said". If you look at some of his comments in the article, like this one

"What worries me about the future of Silicon Valley, is that one-dimensionality, that it's not a Renaissance culture, it's an engineering culture. It's an engineering culture that believes that it's revolutionary, but it's actually not that revolutionary. The Valley has, for a long time, mined a couple of big ideas."

You can really see how he is referring to the some of the earlier generation that was more influenced by the 60's counterculture movement. For myself I'm not so sure, because I think there is a danger in being nostalgic when comparing the accomplishments of the past with today. But again I think he's a great writer and I loved the quote from Kahneman about "the robots are going to come just in time"

Trust me, FlyerTalk and the like are exactly that bad. Even worse since FF programs have been gutted over the last 2-3 years - fortunately some airlines have made changes that favor the actual business-class customer and have cut out annoying mile-runners.
> I think this is the best point you’ve made. If we throw every other argument out, we’re left with the simple fact that the watch follows the phone, and the market for phone software has already commoditized itself into the toilet.

Probably so. Many of the developers who will reject what I am saying are not, at the same time, devoting life and treasure to the development of apps for the watch. The iPhone was very different. It was a gold rush. Many made millions selling fart apps. Most --the vast majority-- lost their shirts. And, having learned their lessons they remain cautious or completely uninterested when it comes to the watch.

One of the huge angles is that of the leash to the iPhone. This is the same reason I just bought my son a stand alone GPS for his car. Google and Apple maps and nav require network connectivity. Amazingly enough I've been in places not too far from home where we can't raise WiFi or a cell connection. Your great phone-based navigation software breaks down very quickly when you can't "phone home" for map updates.

I recommend Bazqux.com. It is similar to Google Reader in many ways, the UI is very familiar as well, and it lets you log in with a Google account if you like.

It is paid-for, although very cheap (and first month free). I ended up buying a life-subscription. I really miss Google Reader as well.
IMO, hangouts is infuriatingly bad. It's way too keystroke-intensive to sign in and sign out of accounts in the iOS app; the Chrome app (plugin?) thing is terrible and the functionality seems to change every other week.

I can't count on them not breaking notifications (such as those for when I receive a message while signed out) in new and exciting ways at random times, and... well, it's just terrible in all kinds of ways.
Do you use Feedly? Are you in "Title Only" mode? It's pretty dense -- I might be misremembering, but I'm not sure how Google could have been denser.

I was very bitter about Google Reader ending at first, but honestly, Feedly is fantastic and I'm now glad it closed. That said, I don't use the search feature, so perhaps that's not as good as Google's was.
And frankly, if you're in the situation posited at the top of your comment, you may be better off just taking 1% Amazon points or whatever. (Or even a higher % for travel-related expenses on some credit cards.) It's often a lower exchange in theory but it's a lot more fungible and easier to spend than miles.
The big problem with monad tutorials is that you can't talk about them without understanding the motivation behind them, and that comes from purely functional languages (i.e. Haskell). When you're not allowed to touch IO, use `null`, exceptions don't exist, there is no global state, and all of these things have a common pattern to them, then you can motivate their use and talk about them. In my opinion, there isn't much of a point in talking about them without those things. There are some neat tricks (`flatMap` etc...) but without proper motivation, it's not likely to stick, and the idea seems relatively useless.
Also - stay organized. Every credit card should be accompanied with a spreadsheet entry with all details (un/pw, bonus, etc.), entry into Mint, auto-pay, and calendar reminders (end of free annual fee, etc.). Very easy to slip and forget, or not keep track of getting your actual bonus.

Of course - do not do this if you don't intend to pay your balance immediately. Any interest charges quickly undo the ROI.

Just got back from a completely free trip to Japan (flights, hotels). So worth it.
One of the best OEIS sequences in terms of user comments is surely A000027 (the positive integers, sure to be filled with silly 'explanations'). My favorites:

a(n) is also the number of permutations simultaneously avoiding 213, 231 and 321 in the classical sense which can be realized as labels on an increasing strict binary tree with 2n-1 nodes. See A245904 for more information on increasing strict binary trees. - Manda Riehl

Eh, $3k/mo is not a great income, but it's exaggerating to say that it's an income only for a "single guy with no other obligations living in a cheap place". It's a typical middle-class American income, in fact it's almost exactly equal to the median income of a full-time worker in the United States [1]. Which, yes, is not great (the middle-class in the U.S. is not in great condition at the moment), but it's clearly neither just young single guys nor the bottom quintile living on that level of income. And, in larger households typically there's nowadays an expectation of two income earners.

Now if the goal is to entice people making 6 figures at a tech job to quit their jobs and join this program, it probably isn't enough money. But maybe that isn't the goal?

Toxicology results often take that long depending on how extensive the testing. Also people always jump right to the conclusion that drug abuse is suspected when they hear this. In a person his age and health with an unexpected death this type of test can be pretty standard and is often at the discretion of next of kin. These tests can help determine drug interactions and maybe assist someone in the future.

Turns out these two drugs have some serious interactions with each other, including sudden death and heart failure. To this day I consider myself lucky.
