If YC hadn't invested, nobody would have ever heard of AirBnb. This is a case where the investor added a great deal of value to the business.

YC is at the center of a large network of investors, startups and bloggers and somehow its investment decisions ultimately influence the habits of technology consumers in general.

I think it was a lose-lose situation for the author.
I'd also like to point out that nuclear propulsion (Nuclear Thermal Rockets, proven tech) is a viable option for Moon and Space craft. The Moon's surface is already being blasted with solar radiation from solar wind and flares.

Just imagine how useful some Moon uranium would be!
Me too. I have a real fascination for this Cambrian period of computing, even though I came into it via the strange world of home computers (Sinclair). By the time I got my hands on business computers, Wintel had won.

I saved an S-100 machine from the skip when I was at school, made by SWTPC. It ran Uniflex, a version of the Flex operating system which was designed for multiple users, based on some Unix ideas.

It worked briefly when I got it but then stopped, and I could never figure out why. In the end, I donated it to this guy http://www.computermuseum.org.uk/fixed_pages/swtp.html who I found via the wonderful alt.folklore.computers newsgroup.
That sounds pretty good. I'll have a more in depth look later. Thanks!

As far as I can tell most of those comments pre-dates his conviction.

During the trial, I too saw plenty of reasons not to want to assume guilt prematurely - there were plenty of weird circumstances, and the evidence did not necessarily seem overwhelming at a distance (quite possibly reading the full transcript might have reduced that doubt) though it certainly pointed in his direction. The question really was not whether or not he looked guilty, though, but whether or not the evidence proved it beyond reasonable doubt.

But of course he afterwards ended up leading police to her grave, causing whatever doubt was justified before to disappear (and the pre-conviction doubt also steadily dropped largely thanks to his own behaviour during the trial).
You being up a great point around the potential of "killing" a great company and this is important. I was always sensitive to their position as I'd been there 5 years earlier when I bootstrapped my company.

I always negotiated in good faith with them and spent time to understand their needs. Look at the budgets: When you look at that budget with handwritten notes that's my writing - I was concerned they weren't raising enough and I asked them to take more money to get more runway AND i agree to increase the valuation to account for the dilution.

As far as the "six weeks goes" that was from the first day we met until the day I had my lawyers at Greenberg Traurig negotiate docs with their counsel at Fenwick. Part of the delay was my own stupidity; I had my lawyers drafting custom docs (which I paid for completely out of pocket and didn't push into the closing costs). Brian has rightly sent me standard YC docs to use but I was too ignorant to even know what those docs were. And then I spent two weeks negotiating terms and final valuation.

The other complication is Brian wanted me to meet with another angel he wanted to bring into the round (I left this out of the post as I didn't want to embarrass this angel; we actually became pretty right friends after all this). So this other guy and I met up a couple times before he decided he wouldn't do the deal and that delayed us as well.

But I was always direct on my commitment to Brian and once we agreed to terms I immediately had my lawyers move to closing quickly.

I just had a similar situation with a company we committed to fund this year. We were coleading the deal with another VC; this other VC ended up in a protracted (2 months) negotiation of docs. We (Arena) couldn't fund our half of the deal until docs were finalized with this other VC. So the founder calls me up because he's now 3 weeks away from missing payroll and may have to slow down user acq that's going great and He's obviously worried that if this seed round fails the company is dead. And I told him not to stress - I offered him a $250k personal loan to his company at the lowest simple interest rate and he didn't have to secure it or offer me any warrants or incentives. I peronsally funded his company two days later and we're all good.

My point being - I do understand the consequences of being a bad investor because I always try to imagine myself in the founders shoes. I was in that spot years ago and I know how vulnerable it can feel. Even though I wasn't a well educated investor when I was doing the Airbnb deal I never took any action that would have harmed their potential.
Pretty good and much the same sensible architectural choices as many other already successful companies aside from the neo4j choice. Just use a normal db like postgres like everyone else. There are good reasons why the biggest sites in the world use or have moved to using an RDBMS. They may not be cool but they work. I'll not expand on all the reasons but a trivial search will enumerate them extensively. You already have some cool stuff like mongo, a store I love, and hate.

It's about looking at the underlying mechanisms.

Lots of science is about looking at "no shit, Sherlock" phenomena. The hope is you can find principles beneath the commonsense aspects. Ideally, you see the commonsense and allow yourself to get puzzled by it.

For example, physicists can't tell you much about what goes on outside your window; it's too complex. They isolate little things in highly controlled environments which remove as much as possible. ("Experiments".)

To me this seems like a great product at the right time. Looking forward to trying out the service. Given that the price range can vary so much on any particular project, how do they figure out the cost? That's one of the biggest areas of confusion for me.

The blob for the default VideoCore IV blob in the version from yesterday (commit 369d99df38de4c33b648ac864dd42e185461b477) has a size of 2708.504 kB:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/369d99df38de4c3...

All the blobs are in https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot and carry the name start.*\.elf .

There are four versions of this firmware blob that can be used:

start.elf: the default version

start_cd.elf: a minimal version of the firmware that must be used if you set the GPU memory below some threshold, and only supports few features.

start_x.elf: an extended version of the firmware blob which included some extra free codecs (source: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1933...).

start_db.elf: A version of start_x.elf with additional debug assertions (source: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/408).
I could talk a lot about how we're different from LinkedIn, and how looking pretty as a website is a hindrance at times, but we're less about what you've done and more about how you do it.

For a lot of people things like job titles and descriptions are out of sync with what we do, and we don't really have any good tools to show or share our work. Developers have Github, designers have dribbble, but for everyone else there's not a good tool out there.

But, I hear you on the YASN problem, and we're not solely a social product as a result of that.

There are quite a few efforts out there. Someone has already mentioned rbutr (actually my personal project) - you can view it in action without the plugin by just adding rbutr.com/ to the front of any URL, eg: http://rbutr.com/http://www.realfarmacy.com/johns-hopkins-sc...

However rbutr isn't really what you've described here. What you've described is either

https://hypothes.is/ or

http://fiskkit.com or

https://factlink.com/

Oh, also, Hypothes.is had previously put together this spreadsheet on Google Docs which lists all of the previous efforts to make web annotation applications. It hasn't been kept up to date though so I keep a local one up to date now, just in case this is ever lost: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aujm_HldNh4WdHJ...
A tree is a natural structure, because often you respond to another post. A graph would mean responding to several posts, which doesn't happen that often.

Usenet discussions have an additional structure on top of the answer-tree: You can group discussions by subject/topic, changing the subject line when the subject changes. So that would be a colored graph.

Good Usenet readers have a lot more features (e.g. marking posts as read, killfiles) than anything that web-based discussions offer. I sometimes wish that web UI's would implement this, too.

Near where I grew up, a petrol station toilet functioned as a de facto public toilet for passersby. The owner must have been a lilt eccentric.

Anyway, when you turned on the light a little disco ball would light up and some high energy pop song would play: "I Want to Break Free," "YMCA".. something like that.

It was the talk of the town.

iLoo seems like a bad idea, but for an unconventional marketing campaign, doing something with festival toilets is not a bad idea. If you've seen Better Call Saul's talking toilet, that would be a particularly impactful approach.

Not, is not all political. Nuclear companies employ thousands of clever people, and of course have easy access to nuclear products and nuclear plants, pools, buildings, machines... Those companies are doing big money also.

Despite being very gifted people with almost unlimited resources unreachable for the common guy, nobody had find a realistic solution for the nuclear waste in 50 years and nobody knows still how to decontaminate a nuclear wasteland in a safe and fast way. Finding those holy grail will make them multibillonaries in two months so is not a problem of lack of motivation.

If you prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you can convert plutonium in a purring harmless kitten all politicians in the world will be at your feet droling and thinking about how to associate his/her name with the big success and what to do with the extra money now that expensive nuclear cemeteries payed with taxes are not needed anymore.

As a rule, I try not to blame other people for my own incompetence.
Yeah, I think it's still in use on embedded systems that need read-write filesystems. (Read-only filesystems often end up being squashfs instead for space reasons.)
You can see in the Chrome store how many active users the plugin has (which is only one part of what rbutr does):
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rbutr/ocnieghejikn...

So it says about 10,300 active plugin users.

A more appropriate plugin for the OP's question is Hypothes.is. They're open source, non-profit and have raised over $1.5 million. They have about 7,300 users according to the chrome webstore:

Did Apple 'make' Warner sue anyone? Remember, the labels held most of the cards.. They controlled the content. If Apple had all of this great power over the labels, why did it take so long to get the Beatles? As far as 'more regulation' -- I don't like the idea of the government picking winners and losers. The government uses regulation as a hammer with which to crush companies that don't tie a certain line. Excessive regulation also adds tremendous costs to a company and therefore the consumers. Do you know how big of a legal department is needed just to comply with government regulations? It's a non-trivial cost. I am not saying regulation is bad; I am saying that beyond Sherman, the government ought not be too heavily involved in regulating competition because then only the politically connected or heavy contributors get permission to thrive. Carlos Slim, for example didn't get rich because of a lack of regulation in Mexican telecoms, he became a billionaire because of regulation: Mexico gave him essentially a multi-year head start over potential competitors using regulatory power. The result, Mexican telecom service is highly expensive and of marginal quality. With less regulation other companies could have started offering services sooner and competition would have driven market innovation.

This is infinitely more impressive than Google's image generation. There are zillion ways to generate weird-looking images. However, this paper claims to:

1. Have trained a networks to generate handwriting. Handwriting can be objectively judged, unlike those images. The interactive demo does look pretty darn cool.

2. Made it so the network can be "primed" by small samples of new handwriting. This is the most impressive part, because it is something that actually qualifies as semi-generic AI. You train it on one thing and then it does another thing.

Actually, the second part is bit too impressive, compared to everything I've seen from NNs before. I've read the paper, but I don't understand how this priming works. How big is the primer? Is it just the sample shown on the website? Are there any constraints? Can I simply supply a sample of my writing with a textual "translation" for this network to pick up some aspects of my writing style?

That's not quite accurate anymore - there's an open-source OpenGL ES driver for the Pi that isn't just a wrapper around the binary blob on the VPU. However, you still need the proprietary blob in order to boot the Pi and actually enable the display outputs, and for accelerated video decoding. (Oh, and it has an interesting license that forbids you from using it on non-Raspberry Pi hardware.) On the Allwinner chips, it's the other way around - you can boot them, enable the display outputs and do modesetting and I think even hardware video decoding with open-source code, but OpenGL ES requires a proprietary blob. Though I think the Allwinner 2D graphics overlay hardware is fully documented, which may be enough for some applications.
The funny thing is that it probably has the potential to become so well known that people forget its roots, and then people wouldn't get the original joke in that Simpsons episode anymore.
Maybe I could have phrased it better. I was making a wider point ("people in general...") than Uber here. Uber's externalities are mostly related to insurance, worker abuse and damage to the fabric of society (what example do they give by being able to get away with blatant disregard for law?). Some of that should (and probably eventually will) be handled by union.

But my point is - willingness of some people to pay for something in no way makes something worth existing. People do pay for kidnapping and murder.

Or more day-to-day, mundane examples - why do we have spam, both electronic and the shitton of leaflets that go to trash every day in every city? Because someone paid for it. The Internet as a useful resource of knowledge is in constant battle with people paying for SEO. I could write hundreds of such everyday examples.

The point is, people are optimizing extremely locally when it comes to their decisions. Sometimes because they simply don't care, often because they don't know better. But just because they're willing to pay for something doesn't make it good or validate its existence.
Besides what tdy721 and monk_e_boy said, water would be tricky to be had in our near-space neighborhood for two reasons. First, Earth, being a real planet, cleaned its surroundings of most of free-roaming objects. Besides the (domesticated) moon, there aren't that many wild objects around to look for. Second, water has a relatively low boiling point and on the Earth's distance from the Sun there is a lot of solar energy to melt the asteroid ice and boil away (like what we see happening on comets) before we can extract it, and then having difficulties with its handling after we have it due to very same reason.

Think of the food production alone - assuming a colony of a few thousand people, that would mean you'd need to be growing hundreds of tonnes of food at any given moment - most of which would consist of water you've brought with you (for example, a cabbage is 93% water). Of course that could largely be recycled, but even if you can get to 99% recycling you'll still need a rocketload of water very regularly to replace the water you lose or that's polluted beyond recycling.

It really doesn't make sense to take water with you. Just colonise somewhere that already has it.
We won't move on until we have systems that consistently beat it.
