You will still keep people out of the city that want to live there. Rent increases will be replaced with wait lists.

I really wonder, why are you so opposed to giving people what they want, which just so happens to also meet BC's climate goals? Multi unit housing is much much better for the environment.

The fundamental thing to attack when considering dating is how to get enough people to use it and keep enough people using it; not the semantics of the site.

I think the basic problem with a site that operates like you suggest is that attractive women tend to not need dating sites. The same is true, probably to a lesser extent, of attractive men.
Apple has a good philosophy when it comes to search-as-you-type + personal info...we want to extend concept that to the web. We want users to be able to "Google" their own personal info.
I think language agnostic programmers are more genuinely interested in programming compared to fanbois.

That said you will always be a bit faster in your "native" language. Your native language skills benifits with experience from other laungages.

There isn't a Golden Hammer.
To me, it sounded like "I hate office jobs so much that I've associated the program languages with the jobs. How do I convince myself to JFDI?"
This article: http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/04/news/newsmakers/buffett_bet....
provides more information.

Previously, I thought that it was a sure thing for Buffett to win, because I thought portfolio implied maybe 20+ hedge funds, but standing opposite S&P500 are only 5 hedge funds(preapproved by both Buffett and Protege).

Protege has a chance (if i was a betting man, I'd give 1:5 odds they would win).

However, Buffett's bet was smarter, because it also wins if something negative happens to the hedge fund industry as a whole politically and we can see that happening already. Nobody is going to nerf S&P 500.

Also from the article, each side contributed 320k and put the money into zero coupon bonds with maturity in 10 years(ie 640k now -> 1mil in ten years), which will go to winner's charity.
I believe it came from a time when American women didn't work in offices.
> Blaming Android for Verizon/Motorola's failings (and your own in not realizing what everyone was saying was _the_ advantage of the Nexus One) as well as rapid technological progress is pathetic.

His point is that, unless he buys a N1 maybe, he will never ever have any guarantees that his phone will be kept up to date for even 2 years.
If you are eligible, you can look into working holiday visas (here is info on Australia's http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/462/). Rent a camper and follow the harvest. Just work a few weeks on a few weeks off.
Why not do something like that for humans?
This is very true, but that still leaves a significant gap between what you're talking about (military/strategic intelligence enabled by network operations) and an actual military campaign conducted against adversary networks.

Both may well need similar capabilities but we can't tell the ability of an agency to engage in "cyberwar" just from their activities in "cyber espionage".
I started clicking randomly, expecting it to change the Xs into Vs and vice-versa.
I've recently blocked Reddit on my computer. What happened was a re-balancing of my slacking off. Now I don't spend my time on Reddit but I spend much more time playing Minecraft or otherwise farting around.

The main benefit I've seen, however, is that I've stopped flitting between work and Reddit. That alone has done wonders for my at-home productivity. I've also found it easier to pull away from non-productive activities when it's time to get back to work. I'd recommend trying it out.
things like PPI are meaningless to me so you will lose a lot of people with that

Interesting. I'm curious to hear more about the causality behind that!

doesn't work very well on an iPhone 6

Yes, sorry about the dismal experience on small devices. It's not yet optimized for mobile at all. I will do that soon.
You're right, a Show HN is probably overdue. I'll post one in the next couple days. Thanks for the idea!
In the talk they say that the papers only suggest that it can be broken into.
I think you're projecting with this. I find 60 degrees F (around 16 degrees C) comfortable and I'm happy and productive working at that temperature. Getting up past 21 or 22 degrees C and I start hating life.
HN readers ought to too, at least those old enough to remember the so-called Clipper chip.

Felons and the mentally ill have many of their rights curtailed. Voting is an individual right, but felons typically can't vote. Mentally ill people can be imprisoned and forcefully drugged.

Individuals can be deprived of rights so long as there is due process.
The site says "rub" which is the abbreviation for a Russian ruble.
hilarious?
There are thousands of applicants for every job. They aren't exactly in a position of power.
Well, given that those stats add up to a lot less than 100%, one assumes that they cannot in most cases.
I doubt that many people get excited about applying for a job as a garbage collector, but someone has to do the job. It's not all the time that you have the luxury of only applying for jobs that you want to do.
Fascinating. Somehow, I wouldn't have really expected it, but the sheer difference between someone like Eric Schmidt and someone like Tina Fey really made this interesting.

So I ask you: are there any other such Google talks/chats like this worth watching? I believe there was one from a while ago with Obama, but I haven't really heard of any others.
I've been thinking about this very thing for awhile, too. I wrote some code to demonstrate how I think resource/routes/controllers should work: https://gist.github.com/d64847016687e82d104b

Started on an implementation based on Rails 3 ActionPack, but never got very far. To make the case statements work, you have to override #=== on Symbol.
People sent to the gulag were, as far as I know, never disappeared. They were arrested, subjected to a trial, and sentenced. Transitive "disappear" entered modern English from Spanish used to describe the actions of the US's allies against their citizens during the Cold War.
I don't get it. Why couldn't Norway export oil expensively, and yet make gas cheap domestically?

Isn't that what many states in the Persian Gulf do?
Density seems to be a challenge, not a solution, for AT&T in those prime markets.

I can't imagine providing 3G coverage in Taipei or Kaohsiung is any different than providing it in NYC or SF. Lots of heavy users here too.

Sure it is much harder to provide 3G across Canada - but the providers don't have coverage in most of Canada. Even semi-rural areas in Southern Ontario an hour from Toronto have little service.
As for consumers putting up with it, we'll see. People never had problems understanding how long-distance worked. And charging by the minute seems to be working well for Skype.

That's because a minute of usage for both Skype or long distance calling is easily quantifiable. If I talk on the phone for 10 minutes at a long distance rate of 10 cents a minute, easy, that's a buck.

Heck, it was easy 10 years ago when we had WAP phones that used circuit switched data, because a minute of browsing the web meant a minute of airtime.

But how do you tell an unsophisticated user that given the bit rate and duration of a video on Youtube or song on Pandora, he'll use X amount of data? What is the best way to explain how many web pages or Google maps driving directions they can access before he bumps into the limit? How much data is behind a Foursquare checkin?

Edit: ATT puts per-session data usage on detailed bills (meaning my data bill would be 30 pages long if printed), but its altogether useless at trying to match back to what you were doing when you generated those data usage records.
This is a great line: "If you can’t protect it, don’t collect it."

That's literally 10 times what a similar service costs in Hong Kong. Tokyo also has a gbps offering for about 60USD/month.

I really don't understand why this keeps getting submitted to HN. Yes, it's a good connection, but it's nothing amazing and it's ridiculously expensive.
It's kind of rude to record people (especially in a YC style setting) without asking...
Because they're all extremely old. Most of them didn't know what Facebook even was when Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress. Go look it up, it's embarrassing.
THERANOS IS BACK!
But I'm not sure you can fix it this way. If the House had 6000 members, I might feel much more strongly that my representative actually represents me. I might also feel that my representative had no real voice in a House that size. That shifts the problem, but doesn't really change it.
We are in the modern era of electronic communication. 435 or 6,300 makes little difference, but it does make a big difference in term of representation, making it more likely you know the congressman or his family from personal interactions in your community. This lessens the need to rely on campaigns ads and campaign money to run expensive campaigns that sell your soul.
And the player needs to fit into an ecosystem that will cover the bandwidth costs of the video it streams. I don't think that's a simple part of the system if one is seeking to avoid having any advertising (a good goal, that I'm absolutely for).
Here's a build vs buy calculator to save you from doing the maths: https://baremetrics.com/startup-calculator
> this RFC seems to propose a great deal of different additions/changes to the HTTP protocol without a unifying reason why

To read more of the unifying why, I suggest checking out the original Braid draft from last July: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-toomim-braid-00. We had a much longer introduction in that version, but shortened it in braid-http-01 so that we could cut to the meat.

If the why still isn't clear after reading braid-00, please let us know on the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/braid-http. And on the other hand, if something in braid-00 helped, we'd also love to hear what, so that we can add that back into the braid-http-01 draft.
Have you ever worked at popular sit down restaurant during a dinner rush? It's a mad house... Not easy at all.

Good service is knowing the menu and wine/drink list. Being able to provide recommendations and advice on what to order. Trying to write down all the orders at this table while you see an empty water glass and someone is taking 5 minutes to decide which salad to order and you know there's food for another table getting cold in the window.

If you just want food and a place to sit, there's plenty of fast food/fast casual restaurants. If you go to a place with wait staff, it's because you are going to get waited on. A good wait person can be the difference in having a wonderful night or a horrible one.
What is your risk tolerance?

That is the very first question you need to ask yourself. If you decide that in the future you won't need virtually instant access to your funds, then you could.

Realize that until investors are chomping at the bit for a share of a company, it isn't very liquid.
if a ring introduces noise (meaning they attempt to avoid the "not clever" trap you describe) how does this effect the measurement? I can assume that introduction of noise is somewhat counter to the greed and objective of the ring leader. But now the objective would change to be meerly introducing enough noise to putting the metric on this ring in a state of question.

With that though, of course this is better than a model that requires no noise. Forcing noise from the edges reduces the set of entries requiring human review and, still, human review might reveal with sufficient weight the existence of a possible ring. But, this is an evolution to the cat+mouse stage. Hence, rings could still survive if clever?

With that question (ring survival with measured noise) set aside, it seems if the cat+mouse were to come in earnest that reputation dependent models would be a driver for mapping user "types" (social, political, behavioral models) in a much more accurate manner than the current driver of advertising (google wanting to increase price of adds)
(Since your comment appears to be the only one here about the article itself, I'll piggyback off it.)

This is a really great data analysis. The bottom-line conclusion of "cab drivers who are driving CMT programmed cars are making more money in tips" will definitely cause the Verifone drivers to say "Wait, what?"

The Businessweek article also shows the limitations of the so-called data journalism. The two reporters grabbed the data from the database, made some pretty graphs, got some quotes and called it a day. It took some readers revisiting the data to tease out the real insights.

But that's a bit unfair to the Businessweek guys. They're on a deadline and won't get paid extra for geeking out on the data too much, so their goal is to get the initial news out there to the world. Ben Wellington's interest wouldn't have been piqued if the article hadn't been written in the first place.

I guess what I'm saying is that it's a win all around.
It's the other way around. In general Gmail, Microsoft etc are whitelisted by other people because they are trusted to deal with spammers using their platforms. Whether they are actually more trustworthy is another matter.
Use the vim.
My company hires freelancers for China-related research. Contributors from Mainland China would be ideal. But my reliance on services like Google Drive means that I typically end up with people from HK, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. It's simply much more convenient.
facebook's core offering is slowly walking towards the exit: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F02y1vz.

Much of that valuable data stands to stale.

"Cloud-client computing"
You're right that the password-vault part is the weakest part of the post, I think, though I'd argue many people probably don't even use (relatively) secure options like LastPass, and probably default to "password managers" built in to browsers or OSes.

I just have this weird cognitive dissonance when I see the 'big threats' that get posted sometimes online. The other day I read a Reddit post about some Dangerous New Threat to Bitcoiners, that amounted to nothing a slightly-more-clever-than-average attachment virus. I don't understand how anyone managed to get as far as even operating a Bitcoin wallet and somehow never learned basics like "don't click blindly on email attachments".
And the purpose of the downvotes were?

Correction for using a smiley? (I wouldn't used one here but come on, this isn't stackoverflow.)

Misunderstanding the post like I did on first reading? (try: "I like these as long as there aren't To Dos to write down." which is a relevant point where the parent just mentioned the lack of A/V equipment.)
Is anyone else unable to get over the writers name?
I find it really frustrating when a mobile version of a website offers a subset of the features that are available in the 'desktop' version.

If you don't think that a feature is needed in the mobile version, it probably isn't required in the desktop version. Chances are, however, that the user wants all the features available in both versions of a website.
I'm glad you posted this, as I'm considering working at a startup in Palo Alto. If I end up moving up there, I can say with near-certainty that at least one geek in Palo Alto will be out drinking beers on weekend nights!
This makes sense, if you're intently focused on doing a task or completing something you wouldn't have time to really display any emotion, let alone unhappiness.
Is there a site to rate them and get reviews? YC, funded institute, some super angel funds?
Would be good to have something like yelp for angels, VCs.
Natural sunlight. Parking 6ft from the entrance. FIOS internet. Walkable, safe, upbeat neighborhood. High resolution monitor. Excellent keyboard. Good chair. Quiet and secure building.

If I had two requests: private bathroom and private kitchen area.
It's a subliminal marking that is also a software instruction honored by most, if not all color copiers and scanners and many graphics software applications.

The more I think about it, and read peoples feedback here on HN, the more I realise that the strength of DoneCal is in its time-tracking features. I.e. past events.
Google Calendar is better for keeping track of upcoming meetings.
Yeah, me neither. While I can't speak for all Nordic countries, the development in Sweden seems to be the exact OPPOSITE of what's going on in the Netherlands. Sheet, the lefties were even calling for a law requiring employers to provide full-time employment for all part-timers who desired it (a crazy stupid idea lacking any regard for basic economics, but hey...).
FWIW, I didn't (and won't) downvote you. And humour hit-or-miss at the best of times, especially on the internet, especially on HN. You can't please everyone. (even after realising it's supposed to be a joke, I still fail to find it funny, sorry)
Please continue your startup. I use it constantly.
Hmmm… what does the average KS patient cost to their insurance company?

What is the likelihood of research finding treatments that will reduce that cost, and by how much?

I wonder if a financial instrument could be crafted that captures a potion of future insurance company savings in return for funding research now.

Probably would require some concessional, first loss funding, or perhaps a philanthropic evergreen fund.
They're set up to be exit nodes, they just don't have the exit flag yet.
I feel silly even writing this... but I wanted more pictures. I know the imagination is a powerful thing, but an artist's rendering based on a scientist's description helps me a lot.

What can I say. I like picture-books :)
Are we discussing this[1] or did I somehow get lost?

> Then he tries to copy the contents back, which is impossible with encrypted files and this is how he discovers what he's done [...]

facepalm

> To unlock the encryption you need special keys, which are stored in one central place [...] They went through the system and thank God, the switches had not yet been reset, meaning the keys could be retrieved

Thankfully, God duplicated the keys onto... switches?

After a while, my eyes rolled too much and I stopped for fear of epilepsy.

pg may be right in some respects, but that doesn't mean his opposition is wrong.

pg's argument cannot explain the reality that we've all seen: companies hire droves of H1B folks who are anything but exceptional.

Only a fool fails to understand why.

Host it yourself with dedicated servers in a colocation center.

S3 is expensive for use cases like an image sharing service. Running your own servers with dedicated, unmetered bandwidth (or at least metered bandwidth in the 20TB+ range) is cheaper.

If 11TB of network transfer is spread out evenly over the month, a 100mbit uplink would handle it with plenty of room to spare. (Your traffic is probably not evenly distributed, it's probably very bursty.)
I know you know what you're talking about, but I'm having a very hard time following the train of thought here.

> Imagine if your company had not been an open source company but rather a closed source company. Instead of being able to bootstrap you'd have to start with getting a large bunch of money on an idea that already has an open source equivalent.

Why does starting with the stronger revenue model mean you need to start with getting a large bunch of money rather than bootstrapping? AFAIK software with a revenue-generating license costs the same to develop as free software.

> Sorry to hear you didn't make it, but your work will live on now, probably forever or as a part of some other offering, it may be small consolation to you but to me it proves the system worked.

Why would anyone want to participate in a system whose goals prioritize strangers getting gratis database software over our families being able to eat? I'm all for generosity, but I'm also for looking after yourself and your dependents.
Do you pre-allocate all bullets per shooter? Or have one big bucket that all shooters use?

I take it that having a finite number of bullets in the game at any time is obviously an acceptable trade-off.
Labor can be seen as a scarce resource. If a US developer want to maximize profit he needs to be as scarce as possible.

PG and startup employers are in the reverse situation: they need to commoditize labor as much as possible to maximize their profit (labor can be 80% of the fixed expenses in a IT business).

A developer residing outside US needs to support PG at first so he has access to bigger profit, but once he's in US, he's in the same position as the US developer (he needs to become scarce).

This is basic economic theory.
I seem to remember that the 98 case was a trademark violation. Microsoft used the Java brand even though their implementation wasn't compliant (it was a derivative) - which was a big issue for Sun since one of the main point of Java is compatibility ("Write once, run everywhere").

Google however made sure to always be clear about "the Java Programming Language" or such safe phrase that makes clear that they're not the official thing.
The runtime prevent the support for modern JVM features such as value types (see my comment above).
Google might duplicate all that work (but how much late they will be before it divide the Java world?
Switching to a unified jvm and improving it through collaboration is the way to go.
App that gives you app ideas for apps that people will actually desire to be built
Use 'bc -l', at least on Linux (GNU bc). Then it's suddenly useful. I recommend aliasing bc to 'bc -ql'.

You can alternatively remember to do 'scale=10' before doing anything else in bc.

This isn't a great ad for the article's claim that CLIs are in every way superior to GUIs, is it?
Sadly, HDR passthrough is still an open issue from 3 years ago:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7037

I really hoped they could complete this behemoth of a task.
While not entirely matching your vision for this, TLDR [1] does provide for a similar functionality (discoverability of functions of specific applications).

This doesn't help when you want to map the fuzzy idea of performing a specific action to a particular existing program but it has helped me avoid having to search online for how to perform a particular task with ffmpeg.

The author is complaining out of context on a couple of points here:

1) The B820 came out 1.25 years later than the B940. So, it's not hard to see that maybe Intel decided in that timeframe to add VT-x support.

2) None of the K-series CPUs support VT-d. For some reason, VT-d and overclocking are not compatible. This would have been more noticeable if, for example, the author had compared the i7-4770K to the i7-4770, not the i5-4570. The same distinction is there between the i5-4670 and i5-4670K.

3) The table is organized in a misleading fashion. Why put the weakest CPUs in the center except to make proper trend be intentionally disrupted

After fixing or striking these issues, this isn't even an article worth writing because the features suddenly make sense.
