Seemingly-healthy 28 year olds don't typically die at all, much less in non-obvious ways. An unexpected death rarely involves foul play. I'm sure the police are not ruling out possibilities at this point, but I'm equally sure that they are proceeding with the most likely avenues first.
This is exactly where I was leading with my questions. Joint accounts might simplify the sharing of cash between household partners, and thus simplify household operations, but it complicates everything else.

I suppose a temporary convenience now is worth a very complicated situation in the future. Thus is also why we traditionally forego prenuptial agreements.
>In the end, he was not impeached...

Er, yes he was? He wasn't removed from office.
Neither I nor anyone has said that they are required to make you aware, let alone "duly" so.

For instance, it makes good business sense for a casino to advertise their 94.64% slot return since they still have an edge. You don't have to be an industry insider or close to it to learn this information, as you implied.

Show HN: Codelympics – Finish more side projects with friendly challenges
Having read the intro, methinks I'll wait for a few more positive reviews before taking it further. Not sure I want to get that far into the mind of someone that crass & abusive.

Don't get me wrong. On our third date (being 5 hours apart in different countries, getting together was...difficult), my future wife asked "so what are we doing?" Having been considering the same thing, and whether to tell her unprompted, I proceeded to explain that our brief but deep discussions showed me she might be someone I'd like to spend the rest of my life with.

The subject can be well addressed without getting rude & crude immediately. Two people can "get to the point" politely.
Arguing over whether remote or in-person is better when your company is systemically bad at communicating is like arguing which color to paint a turd: no color of paint is going to make it less a turd.

On the other side of things: a team with good communication skills will communicate effectively either in-person or remotely.

I'm calling out the dumb logic of the article, not arguing against remote work. I think remote work is bad for productivity generally, but it's a small problem. Personally I prefer the flexibility that working remotely allows.
What we have learned from our failed Startup
The Community edition is basically Pro, with different licensing. From what I understand, that's the version that would make the most sense for the target audience of DreamSpark (college students) anyway.
That's untrue; Linode offers PV-GRUB. I've been using it to boot FreeBSD with their Xen offering for years.
Hey Kat,
Thanks for answering our questions.

I was wondering what is the expected next 'round' of investment after successfully finishing the program.

Could one join the usual YC program or should he raise a larger amount of money after the program?
If your cop family members are aware of bad cops but do nothing about it then they are bad cops too.
1) Around 20 -- we want to keep this test batch small. If successful, we'd grow future batches.

2) I think it would depend on your company and what you're trying to do. I can think of advantages to either way, and if accepted it's something we can talk about.

3) If you're just starting to get customers (or struggling with it), still apply. It will be a judgement call on whether you're too far along and should just apply to YC W16, but relocating or not won't make a difference in that assessment.
We may not be able to predict what such an AI would desire or do, but I assume you'll agree that we'll still be able to observe what it does do and understand that it's doing it (even though we may not necessarily understand how it does something).
Coming off of such a stressful period with the lawsuit it may have been too much for a dormant underlying condition to handle.
You can use Community at work as long as you are a small enterprise (less than 5 dev) and you make less than some (huge) amount per year.
I love how the VS2013 update 5 is 6.1GB where you can download the full version of Ultimate with update 5 and it's only 4.8GB.

1990s me would be blown away that VS could be this big. I'd be even more impressed that my work fiber downloaded it at 10.2MB/sec (yes MB not Mb).
Introduction to Couchbase
Yeah, that's why I liked the new release although Microsoft recommends the comment ugliness still for better IDE support, which is nonsensical.
We'll encourage YC Fellows to apply for Y Combinator -- but they won't be required to.
Shouldn't be a comment, but a part of the language.
motive is what exactly? They complete wiped the floor with them in court, what is gained by killing someone after that?
> $12000

France gives you a lumpsum of your unemployment benefits if you start a business. If you were paid an average engineer salary, 2200€ net pm, it makes 42000€, and it's called ACCRE. The condition is to be fired, and not on our heavy fault. Most of my friends negotiate giving cash to their employers to get fired, so they could get ACCRE.

There are other grants (e.g. 6000€ for being a woman) and loans (28000€ for being a woman, and others named CIR if you employ PhDs). For all of that, you don't even need to have a good project, as opposed to applying to YC.

What I mean is, YC isn't targetting France, or is it?
Download DoulCi Bypass iCloud Activation Lock v3.1.0
Agreed, though I found the example to be distracting and forced. The author would have done better to leave it out.
Uh. There's so much wrong in that article that it hurts. Can't people actually research history more seriously?
I'm sorry, this seems incredibly naive, but couldn't you just have

cards = range(52)
shuffled = []
while len(cards)>0:
shuffled.append(random.choice(cards))
cards.remove(shuffled[-1])
return shuffled

which should be, given a good randomness, literally equivalent to drawing randomly from a pool of 52 cards to form a deck. Is this somehow less efficient than their algorithm?
Yes! That's part of the reason we want to work with remote teams -- to get to work with people who can't make the move to the Bay Area.

That said, if you wanted to apply to the normal YC W16 batch after YCF, you'd still be asked to make the move.
When the FBI hacks, does it need a warrant?

Using this knowledge that `CFMessagePort` works within app groups on iOS, I wrote a distributed notification center that can communicate between an app and its extensions: https://github.com/DeskConnect/WFNotificationCenter

SETI isn't just looking for spacefaring civilizations. It's looking for any form of intelligent life. Take us, for example. We've been broadcasting radio signals into space for many years now (basically as a side-effect of broadcasting them to ourselves). Given sufficient time for the radio waves to travel, an alien equivalent of SETI would be expected to recognize them as non-natural.

Fracking is at an all-time high and US oil production is higher than it's been for a while. Whether you are happy with oil prices or not, environmentalists will tell you it's blatantly dishonest to say "He's been against all sorts of oil projects and fracking."

Most of this is US foreign policy which is not specific to Obama, it just represents continuity from Bush.

It was our entry into Iraq which created enemies like ISIS, not the withdrawal from Iraq. Iraq was never going to be the 51st state.

I agree that Putin has been allowed to do whatever he wants, but the clear start of that was the Georgia fiasco under Bush, and the unspoken alternatives are extremely unpleasant. I hate what happened to Ukraine, but I wouldn't personally die to fight Putin about Ukraine, so why should I volunteer our troops to die for that? Was that ever really an option?

There is plenty of room to disagree about whether we should have been making deals with Iran and Cuba.

If someone has an honestly favorable impression, it doesn't mean they have "very high-spin bullet points" but the arguments you've advanced are clearly dishonest.
There's no need to perform a speculative autopsy on HN; I request the mods dispense strong guidance to posters in this thread.
> ...sites with smaller viewports...

Every smartphone sold in America in the last four years has a far higher screen resolution than the machine on which I first browsed the internet back in the 1990s. Indeed, most of them have a higher screen resolution than the laptop on which I regularly browse the internet today!

So, no, the viewports on mobile devices aren't really smaller.

It is -however- very true that one's input method is substantially less precise than when using a mouse. But, it's not that much less precise than when using a pen or stylus. :)

> Instead, Google rejigged its algorithm to favour "mobile-friendly" sites.

Sure. But, OP is not talking about Google's search ranking algorithm. Google didn't make dumbed-down versions of the UI of their sites because folks are mostly visiting with finger-navigated devices. Until recently, Google worked hard to make UIs that are both full-featured and useful for folks navigating with a mouse and with their finger.

The fact that they serve a critical role is why I suggest that the response for the case when police all have excessively delicate feelings would be to fire them all and find new ones, not just fire them all and leave the police department empty.

Officer morale in Baltimore is so low that nobody wanted to respond to a drive-by shooting? Anywhere else, if your morale is so low that you don't feel like doing your job, you get fired and they find new people who do feel like doing their job. Did any Baltimore police get fired for failing to respond to this drive-by shooting? If not, why not?

One thing to note about your third pro (removing boilerplate type safety) is that if other code outside your TypeScript ecosystem starts calling your code, the lack of checks could hurt them.
Ah, I have to check how we behave in that case. Thanks for the pointers.
You shouldn't have to zoom in to a page, how do you use apps?
Unfortunately recording devices are not allowed in courts, and it was not a part of actual court proceedings, so there's no way for me to prove that it happened. I can put it forth only as a first-hand account.

Regardless, that's the day I realized that the police and the courts are their own entity separate from and above the rest of society. Our only hope is to minimize contact.

Perhaps something got lost in translation, but that sounds unethical at best, and highly illegal at worst.
Why Time Flies (this is highly recommended)
The beginning of this reads like it was written by a 13 year old but it turns out that is intentional and the essay is worth reading as a whole.
YC has already funded a couple great teams from France.

And we want people from all over the world to apply to YCF too. As long as you have a good enough internet connection for clear video chats, you don't have to move here either.
Wow, way to attack a straw man there.
I used Server 2012 with Hyper-V enabled on this very same machine, with no problem.

Something changed in R2 because as soon as I enable it and reboot, my video card is no longer recognized, the 2nd display doesn't work and when I go to re-install the video drivers (nVidia Quadro 600), it can't find the card.

I'm pretty sure that I called Microsoft or otherwise got definitive information from them that there was no fix for the problem, so that's when I decided to just use Virtual Box for my VM needs and that has been working out for me.
I think you misread, that's not what he told his mom, that's what the police told his mom.

The UX of Alcohol Abuse
Sortable (linked to above) seems to get that mostly right.
> When you load up a site I do it is as well designed as a mobile app. Surely people don't complain about the inability to zoom in their iOS settings app, or in the clocks app. Why would my site be any different?

They have that ability (at least on iOS. Don't know about Android, but I assume it has similar settings). It's under the Accessibility options.

Why don't you allow users the ability to zoom your sites?
Both the article and the thread so far seem to miss a crucial point: consent can be withdrawn.

"I changed my mind" effectively renders this "contract" null and void. The only (near) 100% sure-fire way to avoid a false rape allegation is to videotape the whole thing. Good luck with that, gentlemen.
It sounds like you might be doing a company re-launch from the ground up? If that's the case, definitely apply for YCF.

If you still have successful ancillary products and just want to develop your flagship product with YC's help, consider applying to YC W16. Applications for that will open up in August.
Eh, it's not longterm disability cases that the insurance companies hire PIs on. Hiring a PI is expensive. The insurance companies don't do it until they are already positive the person is defrauding them. The percentage of cases my dad's worked where the claimant was not very obviously faking is vanishingly small. Like less than 0.5%.

By the time the PI is involved, the insurance company is already ready to sue, they just want extra evidence to solidify their case. They're nearly all acute injury cases - "I slipped and fell at work, and now my back's out and I can't work for six months" and they hobble their way into the doctor's office leaning on a cane when less than an hour ago they were doing heavy yard work (or jumping on said trampoline!) with no difficulty.

Believe me, I have sympathy for people with chronic pain/invisible illnesses. I have fibromyalgia, my mom has myasthenia gravis. We are not the kind of people that wind up with PIs following them around with a camera.
> we'll be looking at the Obama foreign-policy record as decidedly mixed.

Except his foreign policy doesn't exist in a vacuum and it's entirely subjective. Compared to Bush's 'big stick' foreign policy, for someone who doesn't live in the States, Obama truly is "change" personified.

I was in Japan when Obama was elected for his first term and there were people literally in tears at finding out that Obama had won. You'll see a couple news reports and interviews on youtube where you'll see them saying "Yeah, we're happy he won." then they would repeat his slogans "Change!" and "Yes we can!". But I had a chance to speak to a bunch of those people due to the nature of my job and after some rather in-depth questions, they weren't in tears because Obama had won, they were in tears because they were happy McCain/Palin lost. They didn't want another "crazy" republican in office. It was actually a bit shocking to learn that people abroad follow our politics more closely than a good many of our citizens. And it was interesting to see that they consider democrats the level headed bunch, and the more 'peaceful' party.

So I don't think they're a fan of Obama personally (though I'm sure some are), I think it's the fact that they prefer democratic foreign policy over republican foreign policy in general, and see republicans as war mongering neocons.
Or it could reasonably be

"Yeah, the integration tests failed 400 times, but, in all but one of them, the failure was indicative of an actual problem with the system".

1 out of 400 could easily mean the police use justified force almost all the time.

Of course then they probably wouldn't be firing investigators, but there you go.
It's fictional exploration of the intersection of everyday interactions and concepts of truth.

When I read this kind of thing, I usually seems to me that it's bringing out how people generally stumble on a whole range of philosophical and moral assumptions inherited from the Western philosophical tradition when they start talking about "telling the truth".

A simple "riposte" to the fictional "What you're saying is tantamount to saying that you want to fuck me. So why shouldn't I react with revulsion precisely as though you'd said the latter"

- "Well, the niceties here might be called 'protocol' - I'm not definitely saying that X but rather beginning a 'handshaking' process that may let us do that if each of us are comfortable with. Protocols are what grease social interactions. Which is to be say that if a mature adult is disgusted by a guy saying 'I'd like to fuck you', it's because they are inherently disgusted by sex but rather they're disgusted by someone making an intimate demand with no protocol, IE making the demand at the wrong time"

Which is to say our everyday interactions don't involve the rational constructs of true-false logic but rather are more like game-theoretic maneuvers.

And for the last question, "You're saying you wouldn't fuck me right now", the answer would be "So you're saying you would like to know all of my reactions to a rather extreme hypothetical situations, without say, letting me know any of your reactions. Well, that's what protocol is for, letting two people demonstrate their range of range reactions equally, so one person's maneuvers aren't just available for the other to use without that first person getting compensation".

But anyway, the thing that makes the hypothetical girl's actions compelling is that however out-of-line they might be, they are using the true-views coming from Plato - statement are either true or false, their truth or falsehood doesn't depend on circumstance, etc. Of course, if you view the "I'd like to take you to see a play" thing as protocol, then the game is just silly.

-- And this is to say that the hypothetical solutions to the dilemma just dig the hole deeper by trying to modify mathematical logic for inappropriate purposes.

Instead, I'd recommend an evolutionary-game theoretic approach to understanding everyday interactions.

See: https://books.google.com/books/about/Game_Theory_Evolving.ht...
That part was extremely cringy. But I think that was intentional.
I've always chosen the "tough it out" strategy when dealing with bad management and/or toxic social environment at work, but over the long run I can't say it's done me any good. Those jobs never worked out no matter how much effort I put in, and in two cases the psychological stress was significant enough to degrade my productivity for over a year after leaving.

From what I can see, if you're a new hire stuck with a bad manager, your best bet really is to bail out as fast as you can. HR is not your friend, no matter what they tell you, and you're simply not going to win a fight with your manager unless you have connections and an in-company reputation strong enough to bring down pressure from above. Perhaps the author of this article could have chosen a just slightly more graceful way of leaving, but I just can't fault his decision to pull the ripcord as soon as he realized the plane was on its way down.
That is essentially the same as the algorithm in the article, which was Figure 3:

for (i is 1 to 52)
Swap i with random position between i and 52

After i iterations, the first i entries are your "shuffled", and the last 52 - i entries are your "cards". "random.choice(cards)" corresponds to picking a "random position between i and 52".

A good point, and important to keep in mind.

> So, no, the viewports on mobile devices aren't really smaller.

Except, in the ways that they are. A 5" 4K display is still literally a smaller viewport than a 13" 1366x768 display or a 20" 1920x1080 display, and this is quite important in design.
Right, up to and including eating a slice of cheesecake, which is why your definition is useless. What we're discussing here is things that are harmful to others _per se_. Theft, violating agreements (like cheating), etc are obviously examples of this. Religion, drug use, open marriages are obviously not.

The distinction here is kot
The time, place, and manner of sex or other activity that occurs between two consenting adults is none of my business whatsoever unless one of those people is my spouse. When one of those people is my spouse and the other is not me, then my problem is with my spouse, not with any website or other instrument used to facilitate the infidelity. What meaning would an agreement such as marriage have if cheating were literally impossible?

>But I think some moral discussion might be good

Wow! It's good to see YC sticking its neck out to grow the startup community. I have a quick question though: as this is a remote program, will you be willing to consider candidates living outside the United States? My team and I are in Canada, and are currently unable to move to the States.
