This comment was also made here on HN not long ago (maybe that's where you read it). I believe someone also stated that it's not good for your back to exercise too soon after waking.

I believe your "<something>" is glycogen. The basic idea being that if you have no glycogen to burn, you'll burn fat.
Trying to make Chicago a "tech hub" sounds about as practical as trying to make San Francisco a commodities/derivatives hub. What's the point? It's not as if tech is going to create jobs for all the struggling folks on the south side--indeed, tech is actively working to put those folks out of work.
UChicago has a CS program, but does not have an undergraduate engineering school. There is a graduate level molecular engineering department, but that's about it.
> There also aren't many copper 10 gig top-of-rack switches, just the Cisco Nexus 3064T and Arista 7050T come to mind. Juniper doesn't even have one.

I might be missing your definition of tor. The juniper QFX5100 series has the 48T which does 48x 10GBASE-T plus 6x QSFP. the 5100-96S does 96x SFP+ and 8x QSFP. There are plenty of other cheap merchant silicon platforms that look similar. Personlly Im happy with DAC on SFP+ ports.

It seems a little condescending to say the reason you like X is because you tastes are less developed.
Why is it 'cmon?

Firstly javascript has been forced on us by the browser manufacturers. Unlike every other platform we developers use we have no choice at all. It's actually disgraceful.

Secondly, it's not even the main thrust of the article, it's a side comment and a factually correct one. Why do we all have to suffer javascript in silence? Let us moan about it if we want.
Developer keys seem hard to come by as per what I heard?
honest question and I really don't want to start a language war, I just want to understand more. Why do you use R when you can use Python? I tryed R and I hate it because for me it feels like something all patched together, without a principles behind. Is it like that for you as well but you need all those libraries or it's just me?
Oh wow, I was thinking of writing a very similar post too. Denthor's tutorials were one of my first introductions to programming, and I too fondly remember typing them all into Turbo Pascal and trying to understand exactly what they did. I've always wondered what Denthor / Grant Smith was up to in the years after the tutorials, and if he ever thought about how many people he might have helped get interested in programming.

If anyone's curious you can actually find Denthor's tutorials here: http://textfiles.com/programming/astrainer.txt

I also searched around a bit and found this good thread that seems to indicate Denthor is doing well these days and lives in England with a family: http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=7530&page=1
For anyone after numbers supporting the claim that this may be the worlds hardest free climb, consider this. The hardest climbs in the world (using US grading system) are graded 5.15c . These currently exist as isolated pitches of less than 150 feet.

The Dawn Wall has 19 pitches (15 have now been completed). at least 6 of these pitches are graded 5.14 and above, and most of the remainder are 5.13 . These are all very hard pitches.

The overall difficulty of a multi-pitch climb (using the US grading system) isn't really based on the grade of the hardest pitch. Completing this climb is the equivalent of doing 19 very hard climbs in a row, with 6 of them being accessible to a handful of very dedicated climbers in the world.

Here's some videos from 2013 (yes, they've been working on this for a very long time) http://www.rockandice.com/lates-news/exclusive-dawn-wall-pro...
Seeing it work was great! I don´t know how it looked like for other people but the first shout included a mention to me and it was crazy to see +120 tweets/mentions in an instant.

Great Job and the best of luck for all of you!
As a Brit living in the US it took me over a year (and several misunderstanding) to realize that there is a difference in the use of the word 'punt' between US and UK. The main confusion was between:

1. (Informal) To cease doing something; give up [1]
2. (Chiefly British Slang) To gamble [1]

Often the context allows for either of those to make sense. Off topic, I know, but maybe it will help others avoid the confusion.

1. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/punt
This is cool. Good luck guys.
Recruiters take (placed 8 Sr Dev's (mostly Java, as well as "lost" 4 or so offers of the same ilk), IT Admins, etc).

For Software Developers, the average was 80-100k in lower cost of living area's. In higher, 90-120k.

"Senior" meaning 4-15 years. The four year folks were deemed "above average" in their technical fly-out interviews (with other programmers). Edit: the average length of experience was 5-7 years (a "sweet spot" for technical hiring managers).

I never worked on 50-70k Software developer positions.

These were top-3 finance firms (NYC and SLC) as well as 4/5 top e-Retailler firms as well as a few local funded startups.

I was never able to pull a Googler or FaceBooker :)

Netflix as an individual contributor made $160k or so, the highest I saw as pulling candidates from competing top 3 eCommerce / finance firms.

Note, in the finance firms, "Architect" or "Leads" were on a much higher magnitude (120-180k base, bonuses were sometimes 20%-200%).

Jesus. I just happened to check the reset password with my email address and found out that I do have an account. I have no idea what my password was, now I have to reset everything just to be safe.
One could turn the tables around and wonder why people would chose Linux over BSD.

To me the biggest advantage is that BSD is fully integrated (it's a full system, not just a kernel) and there are compatibility guarantees. For example a binary built for 8.0 will stay compatible with the whole 8.x series.

Even if the M1 isn't a complete upending of the Apple line, the next generation is expected to be yet another leap from the M1. They probably won't get another jump like that again, but 2 is more than enough.
Seems you have too many HN tabs open at the same time.. But the article I have linked shows the study done on how apps read this information. Goes both ways for Android and Apple at the time, not sure if much has changed

I think they're making their steady profits from corporate clients and big business solutions, (Azure etc). They have given up on selling Windows to remain relevant in the consumer side, it may be a smart move to keep consumers on the Windows platform as they explore alternative consumer strategies.
> The first principle for would-be networkers is to abandon all shame. Be flagrant in your pursuit of the powerful and the soon-to-be-powerful, and when you have their attention, praise them to the skies.

I'm reading "How to win friends and influence people" right now. The author would disagree. He would recommend compliments, not flattery. Compliments are sincere, flattery is transparent brown-nosing that makes you lose credibility. I'm paraphrasing the book not giving my opinion: I have no idea what I'm doing.

That said this is very relevant to me because I've recently quit working as a full time employee for 10 years and want to have a go at consulting for companies. I jumped in head first and it has not gone as smoothly as I would like. My biggest issue so far is I don't know where to go to network with the people that I should be talking to. I can go to free networking events with founders of companies, but all of them seem to be at the pre-funding stage and can only pay me in equity. I'm looking for people that can pay in cash. Any advice would be appreciated.
Note to the point, it shows that Backblaze cares more about content marketing SEO than HDD reliability.
It's not just you. It's too abstract of a word to tell me anything without more context.

Edit: Here's the definition they're using: http://nerds.airbnb.com/isomorphic-javascript-future-web-app.... In short, "JavaScript that runs on both the client and the server." This goes beyond "using node" to mean that (e.g.) everything is rendered on the server, but that you can also render only parts and send them to the client to handle on its own.

I'm not sure that's even 'large', let alone 'huge'.
What do they mean by "pattern"? Characters, sequences of characters, semantic meaning...?

> Yeah, no doubt somewhere along the way someone made a negotiation mistake

Is it really a negotiation mistake, rather than a result of growing valuation?

The point of stock options is to grant and receive them early at a low price. There's a good chance that they won't amount to much, but there's also a hope that they will be worth a lot. That's the entire point of accepting stock options over salary as an early employee.

But if stock options are likely to be cancelled if they appreciate in value, then their expected value quickly falls to zero, and it would make more sense to just offer yearly cash bonuses instead.
And a lot more subsidy-rate construction helps low-income renters even more. Go figure.

If we have more market-rate construction, low-income renters would mostly have to pay market rate which would always be above subsidy rate. Because if the market rates are low there is less construction.
If there are not enough housing units in the current high price market it is not the fault of subsidies. The return of investment in other markets is apparently even better.
You never rotate it directly. Instead, generate it from your SSH keys.
A HNer made this same point in a different thread today. The child comment pointed out that (i'm paraphrasing) "people don't pay for journalism or content, so the only way to monetize it is as a vehicle to drive traffic and push ads.
The planet does not produce economic output, individuals do. In totally free market everyones output would be proportional to his work x talent x luck. The market is not free and the rules are skewed but that does not mean inequality is on its own bad or that we should eat the rich. You still have democracy, you may blame the rich but in fact 60% of voters don't even bother to come (and most of those who do agree with tax cuts for the rich anyway).
A low tip can send a stronger message than no tip. If I was really upset with a waiter for some reason, a one-cent tip would convey my displeasure much better than leaving nothing at all. Not that I've had occasion to do this.
At some point Aereo claimed that they wanted to relaunch as an online cable company if they have anything left after bankruptcy.

A crucial aspect in Aereo's case is that their original business model (which was ruled illegal by the Supreme Court) paid nothing to TV stations, but under the new FCC MVPD rules they would probably have to pay retransmission fees to local TV stations, which would cut into their margins.
You're being discriminatory in a sense, but then being discriminatory is normal. It's just what people do, and the large-scale consequences can be trivial or important depending on any number of things. Whether or not it's worth intervening through policy (or simply through culture or collective intent) varies case by case, but I think there's a case to be made here.
Most of the Army's engineering in Whittier was pretty amazing. For example, Begich Towers is built on three sections with a gap of six inches through the full height. The gap is closed in with steel, accordion-shaped baffle so that in the frequent earthquakes, they could move independently instead of breaking.

On the other hand, hip-roofs simply weren't in the Army handbook, so everything was built with a flat roof. In a town that may get 400 inches of precipitation in some years, most of it snow, it's a recipe for disaster. Many of the smaller buildings roofs (including the school) were destroyed that way. Begich Tower's roof leaks. I mean, you can be on any floor and have your roof leak due to the capillary action through the cracks. The plumbing sucked. You let the water run until it was clear before you started drinking.
This sort of crap is exactly why I use Uber whenever possible.

There's plenty negative to be said of Uber, but at least the drivers aren't attempting to constantly scam me. I'm absolutely done with putting up with taxi bullshit. There's a lot of security in both parties knowing that their identity is known to a mutual third party, and that bad behavior will have consequences.
I don't. I'm almost 33 years old and feel like the jobs I don't get are completely on me. :)
A country with more than a billion people that is rich in resources and changing from communism to capitalism is bound to produce a number of extremely wealthy people in a short time, especially since chinese people are very entrepreneurial minded.
Is it because to justify shipping the browser pre-installed (to regulators), they have to 'tightly integrate' the web browser runtime available in the OS with the browser itself?
This comes across as odd. I remember the brouhaha over R6, and many people weren't happy over it. I thought most people have got over it and adopted it. So why is R7 built on top of R5? None of the names on the report are known to me. Is this an "official" report? Is there such thing as an official report?
>The problem with this idea is that the universe, unlike any grid, is isotropic (or appears to be).

Well that's just one hypothesis, albeit one that corroborates a lot of observations.
My first guess would be that both companies stack incentives via artificial barriers like that.

In the real world, I suspect/fear businesses just sit on legacy systems until something critical breaks.

I imagine it's easier to get a business to upgrade to a new browser version than it is to get them to migrate to a new browser entirely. (Blame changes in shortcuts, UI differences, integration support, etc.)

That said, these policies hold back the web. Cute marketing tricks[0] don't fix it. Sure, it says to upgrade. The newest version is unavailable for your OS: now what?

Not in most parts of the world that actually use coal.
Yep, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.
> I think perhaps you and I are using different definitions of "value". If someone is willing to accept something in exchange for something else, that act reveals that they value it, either for its use value or for its exchange value (i.e., as money).

I meant intrinsic value in that context. Of course I agree that it has value based on what people are willing to exchange it for. That's precisely the point I was trying to make; in your original post, you had claimed that bitcoin was flawed because it wasn't based on a commodity originally, and I was pointing out that that really has no bearing on its present value.

> Why do you think that? It's certainly true that artificial scarcity raises prices (for money, in terms of all other goods), but that scarcity is not what is being subjectively valued.

> A $20 bill today is valued (as money) based on what it could buy yesterday. And yesterday's valuation (as money) was based on the day before that.

You trimmed out my next sentence in your quote in which I said almost exactly that. My only point about artificial scarcity is it limits the rate at which value can be lost due to inflation; it helps it retain its value, because you know that someone else won't be able to just go and get more for themselves, but instead will be more likely to want to trade you something for the currency you are trading.

> Go back far enough and the money valuation will have spawned from the commodity valuation.

It doesn't really matter how far back you look; just because a currency was originally based on a commodity has no bearing on its value now, other than as a historical artifact. What matters is what it will buy you when you spend it, which is in the future, and while not entirely predictable, in the near future tends to be close to what it would buy you in the recent past.

All I'm saying is that there is as much intrinsic value to a bitcoin as there is to a dollar, or a euro, or what have you. The difference is mainly in how they are transferred, and how the supply of them is constrained. I'm not entirely convinced that a deflationary currency is a good idea, but I think that bitcoin is a technically, economically, politically, and socially interesting experiment.

I generated a few back in the day when I could do so on my laptop in a few hours without dedicated GPUs running constantly, and I'm going to hold onto them for a while to see how this whole thing pans out. Who knows, with only 21M in existence, if this thing takes off the few I have could wind up being pretty valuable later on; and if not, well, I just lost a few hours of CPU time, no big deal.

If you don't think that bitcoins will hold their value, I'll gladly take any you have off your hands. Just send them to 1Lz9u29gLLUJ3yH6GrMeSuRUmbUounXinG ;)
Wow, all of those suggested URLs are awesome! Thank you!!! Do any of you know of something similar, but that can apply to other RSS/Twitter feeds other than HN??? Thank you!!
The press release discusses cost, not capacity. By its nature, solar power isn't suitable to use for base load: it only works during the sunny parts of the day.

I would be happy and unsurprised to see solar power reduce the use of clean-burning-but-expensive peak plants. I'm not holding my breath to see it replace the filthy base-load coal.

Nice black screen.
Not as economical as cheap labor. It's clear that it's cheaper to hire poor emigres and have them die in a few weeks or months (or you could just fire them) than to use slaves, which you had to pay for, clothe and shelter.

A personal favourite of mine, by Coleridge :-

http://www.orgs.miamioh.edu/anthologies/bijou/vissat/Workwit...

Why? Because in the movie Groundhog Day, when Phil Connors has had his moment of enlightenment/peripety, he quotes :

"And winter, slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!"

Knowing this poem makes the film better. Knowing how widely popular Coleridge became makes the poem better.
If anyone would like to talk about a possible collaboration, let me know. It would probably be impossible for a single person to do this (well).
Does anyone know how bazaar would handle this?
I can not recall that exact title of the book something about ants and elephants (looked on amazon - did not recognize those books) but these are my takeaways from it:

1. state your goals

2. write down your milestones - must be actual measurable metrics

3. write reasons why you will not reach them - expect the unexpected; yes you can not expect all the unexpected but this is preparing you so that when there are issues, which are guaranteed to happen, this is how you need to respond without your emotions totally taking over.

4. Write down what you will do when you encounter these problems. Again be specific. Think of this a as a recipe book/play book.

5. write down the rewards you will give to yourself for each milestone achieved. You need to put a positive feedback loop as incentive. Worked in kindergarten with goldstars.

6. and from the another book: Influencer: The Power to Change Anything
answer the 2 Qs:

Do I think I can do it? (meaning skills and resources)

Is it worth it to me to do it?

Wow, a lot of work? Sure is. Worth it. Yes.
