Real estate ownership for the young is obsolete.

Total deja vous its just like people lecturing my parents generation about why they don't get a job for life which would be easy if they really wanted one, ditto pension and gold watch.

Something I find interesting about Venmo, Square cash etc... is how they target shortcomings in the US Banking system.

In the UK, pretty much anyone with a bank account can go to their bank's website and transfer money to any other bank account in the UK instantly, and for free.

Every bank has their own interface, some better than others, but it works well enough that I don't think Venmo could ever take off here.
Yes, this is a new emerging market. But soon everyone will realize that they don't want to spend 1/3 of their lives just sleeping. As there is such an incredible opportunity which can be easily reached with our wearable.

One solution to this is forcibly simplifying some aspects of business to make regulation easier. The Utility Holding Company Act[1] (enacted 1935, repealed 2005) is one such Depression-era law. It limited the complexity of the ownership structures of utility companies to make them easier to regulate. A number of laws like that were repealed in the 1999-2008 period, Glass-Steagall being the best known. Glass-Steagall kept banks out of the stock market, and stockbrokers out of banking. In 1999, the big banks convinced Congress that with their new risk models, the systemic failure of 1929 was no longer possible. They were wrong.

It's useful to go back to 1999 and read articles about the repeal.[3]

"Today Congress voted to update the rules that have governed financial services since the Great Depression and replace them with a system for the 21st century,'' Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers said. ''This historic legislation will better enable American companies to compete in the new economy."

"The world changes, and we have to change with it,'' said Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, who wrote the law that will bear his name along with the two other main Republican sponsors, Representative Jim Leach of Iowa and Representative Thomas J. Bliley Jr. of Virginia. "We have a new century coming, and we have an opportunity to dominate that century the same way we dominated this century. Glass-Steagall, in the midst of the Great Depression, came at a time when the thinking was that the government was the answer. In this era of economic prosperity, we have decided that freedom is the answer."

One member of Congress got it right. "I think we will look back in 10 years' time and say we should not have done this but we did because we forgot the lessons of the past, and that that which is true in the 1930's is true in 2010," said Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota.

It'll be a sad (and pricey) day in San Francisco when everything starts costing the right price. (I'm looking at you, Lyft Line and Caviar and Square.)
It really serves no public interest, I was honestly shocked when I saw that Wikileaks decided to publish this stuff. Publishing leaked personal emails with no newsworthiness is the kind of thing a dirty supermarket tabloid like Gawker would do.

At least I imagined that Wikileaks would want to preserve their reputation as doing something for the public good but a childish move like this focused on a single individual (an enemy in their eyes) makes me question the organization's values going forward.

Sure! There is no magic behind this, but for most people it is very hard to get there. Not everyone will have enough power of will to teach themselves control their dream plot.
RoboVM has been free for libgdx users. Xanarin is disliked by independent developers for its pricing structure. Will RoboVM remain free to use? I hope so
I don't think the online content providers will be able to get away with this kind of thing. There's way too many competitors out there. Try to cheat on the ad-free part much, and your paid customers will go to your actually ad-free competitors. It kinda worked like that with Cable, IIRC, when there wasn't much in the way of competition, and switching was expensive.
Expensify’s CEO on the Tactics That Doubled Its Customer Base in Just Six Months

$800k sounds low. You've still got to do the retrofit, or it's going to be a TIC, or it's going to have excessive insurance costs... even then you'll be outbid by 20-30% over asking price.

I've been sitting on a 20% deposit for years (at the equiv of SF property), but simply cannot afford to buy given all those costs.

The only way I can see it happening is to be married, with a double income.
And they've already raised the prices.

Edit: Actually, they've just changed their "startup" pricing and it isn't publicly available anymore. It might actually be better, if they allow you to have more than 3 devs.
Is this the trend? Of moving the Internet into subscription based as-free? At some point I suspect ads will just be removed altogether and we'll have an entirely subscription based model.
Thoughts on Education
By Rolling Stone, you mean Matt Taibbi. Because he's the only reason Rolling Stone covers Wallstreet at all.

I'm not a fan of Taibbi's style, and I think that he jumps to biased conclusions. But I've read just about everything I've come across regarding the Financial crisis, and Taibbi has contributed substantial and important reporting to fill out the context of what exactly went down.

To me, Taibbi is a pretty good source for facts, since he wears his biases so openly on his sleeves, it is trivial to account for when he does reach. He also has a completely different perspective and motivational drive than the Financial press beat reporters who are afraid to stray too far from the self-serving accepted wisdom that's developed in the financial industry, as well as the broad audience reporters who are mostly afraid to dive into the minutia. Taibbi is highly idiosyncratic, but his perspective is valuable as long as you're taking in a spectrum of views and have an ability to bring a sense of skepticism to reported claims.
Lucky you! I've bought multiple devices in the past and they still wouldn't help. Nothing using brainwaves though.

No. Rolling Stone's coverage of Wall Street isn't slanted, it's honest. That's why it makes Wall Street look so bad.

Isn't suicide actually a neologism, i.e. it might be a Latin construct, but never actually used by Latin speakers.

In German, "Suizid" is actually the preferred form, as the old "Selbstmord" (self-murder) is a bit moralizing, and "Freitod" ("freely chosen death") is way too romantic sounding.
Option 7: Full-time Youtube authors with decent-sized subscriber bases should switch to Patreon for their income. The CPM for Youtube ads is not great and tons of Youtube viewers use ad blockers anyway.
I'm glad he did it, and published the result. But isn't cracking DRM a criminal offence? Is it wise to confess to it in a public forum?
Some components are open source. So as long as you don't need the Interface Builder or Eclipse/IntelliJ support, it'll still be free. They did raise prices though.
I'm sorry, but the website is virtually unusable. A few barely-comprehensible paragraphs of hyperbolic sales talk, and links to the shop.

> Once it's JIT'd anyway it won't ever be changed,

That's not necessarily how it works. JITs often use inline caches that get populated at runtime. JITs usually implement W^X by mapping the same physical memory into two different address ranges. Once as RW for modification and once as RX for execution.

Having a single mapping is possible, but comes with performance penalties because execution needs to reach a safe/bailout point where that can happen instead of just atomically patching the code.
Unless you've won the economic lottery or lucked out, its going to be very difficult to climb the housing ladder (starter home->family home->empty nest home) for Millennials.

People don't want to subsidize first time homebuyers, but they have no problem with the government subsidizing landlords (depreciation allowances, tax deductible mortgage interest). After so much distressed property ended up on the market after the housing collapse, private equity money swooped in to suck all the property up and charge "market" rent.

Millennials either need to adjust their expectations (get remote jobs, not be tied to areas with high cost of living that are going to extract a large part of their income from them) or fall into enough money to not only buy a property, but to weather any financial disasters they have so as to not lose their equity by losing their home. Hustling hard for years on end while being frugal is another option, but it is no guarantee of success.
So basically we're paying feudal land dues to Russian oligarchs?

Just came across Thomas Browne's "Fragment on Mummies" the other day. It's wonderfully strange and beautiful - like the author of this article says, it almost sounds like the type of language you'd find in the King James Bible. I recommend reading the whole thing (it's just a few paragraphs) but this is a favorite part:

"Death, that fatal necessity which so many would overlook, or blinkingly survey, the old Egyptians held continually before their eyes...

Yet in those huge structures and pyramidal immensities, of the builders whereof so little is known, they seemed not so much to raise sepulchres or temples to death, as to contemn and disdain it, astonishing heaven with their audacities, and looking forward with delight to their interment in those eternal piles. Of their living habitations they made little account, conceiving of them but as hospitia, or inns, while they adorned the sepulchres of the dead, and planted them on lasting bases, defying the crumbling touches of time and the misty vaporousness of oblivion. Yet all were but Babel vanities. Time sadly overcometh all things, and is now dominant, and sitteth upon a sphinx, and looketh unto Memphis and Thebes, while his sister Oblivion reclineth semisomnous on a pyramid, gloriously triumphing, making puzzles of Titanian erections, and turning old glories into dreams. History sinketh beneath her cloud. The traveller as he paceth amazedly through those deserts asketh of her, who buildeth them? and she mumbleth something, but what it is he heareth not."

So was "Google" until they built up brand awareness.
This is the part that I don't understand - because I don't know what the language like 'YouTube Partner' means... I know of a lot of YouTube creators who monetize many of their videos with ads, but when they have small 'announcement' videos, and other videos which don't really contribute to the primary drive of their channel, they don't monetize them - does this mean those 'partners' have to go all-or-nothing, and either monetize all of their videos or none? Because that is what it sounds like, and what makes me upset.
White collar crime has plenty of indirect victims.

Fixing LIBOR had very real life-changing consequences for many people. They weren't as direct as a knife attack, but they still made a huge difference to the financial - sometimes also the personal - opportunities available to many people.

The difference is that most of those people would have had no idea they were being robbed. They would simply have had less money to spend - but they wouldn't have been aware why.

In a fair world there would be immediate compensation for all victims in the form of basic recompense plus punitive damages.

IMO that would be more effective in stopping white collar crime than the prospect of jail, because it would change the risk/reward profile and skew it more towards financial damage and loss of customer good will.
Isn't the problem with publish sf86 more complicated...? This is basically the security clearance application for the CIA director...Aren't these things classified? Why on earth is this in any unsecure e-mail correspondence, if that is so? If that is not so, HR or homeland security has some gaps in their document handling process. Not that they haven't been hacked independently already, but still.
It won't be a problem - Alphabet will just "make them an offer they can't refuse" and within a year, RedTube will re-direct to Youtube Red. (The offer being, let us buy your domain name for a reasonable price, or we'll sue you out of existence.)
Can't upvote this hard enough, it didn't take four whole posts for people to start calling Hillary by name in this thread.
They probably won't. SanDisk already make the most expensive flash drives, as well as cheaper consumer models. But I have a couple of their top shelf drives, like the "Extreme Pro" USB3 stick. They're stupid fast, and worth every penny, assuming it has a long life.
This is a good story, and I'm glad your boss reacted well. But, it sort of bothers me how it's not considered acceptable in this world to take a sabbatical. Why are companies so against the idea of people taking a few months off in a row, especially if otherwise they would just quit?
Also, if your Venmo account gets compromised, it's a fucking nightmare. I think this slate article summed up most reasonable persons' concerns pretty fairly:

Maybe it's harder to get leaks from Russian intel? Just a guess.
Yeah, that was what I was thinking.

PDFs typically are full of Postscript (except if they're just scanned images), which is just a text rendering language. As long as you keep the Postscript format valid, you could remove the watermark by just deleting that text.

I didn't know about PDFtk, but Ghostscript can take a PDF and turn it into text Postscript, and it can reverse the process.
I would like a small, maybe 2-bedroom house, in a cool neighborhood in a cool medium-sized city. That's my dream.
You have to consider scope of knowledge. Nobody is an expert everywhere. You can't use someone's knowledge of IT security as a stand in for all technical knowledge, let alone all knowledge in general.

I worked with an expert on NAND Flash. The guy is brilliant. Knew how the whole process flow works--from substrate to cap layer--off the top of his head. It doesn't need to be said that fabricating semiconductor devices makes setting up an email server look like childs play. Yet, he used a @aol.com account.

Brennan was the daily briefer to Clinton. He was Saudi Arabia station chief. He's definitely a talented guy who knows a TON of stuff you haven't the faintest clue about.
I've gotten so tired of the "Why is this on HN" and then someone posts that guidelines link (note that this is not a criticism of your comment).

I wish we had a canonical discussion thread that's led with an instance of "Why is this on HN", followed by someone's post of the guidelines link, followed by an "evergreen" discussion forum where folks can debate why non-tech related things are featured on HN - anytime someone posts that "why" comment, someone can link to that.

Let alone the fact that the basic mechanism of the site is not a mystery. Someone posts a link, and folks looking at the "new" tab upvote it, hence - it makes it to the front page. It's on the front page because people found it interesting! Who the fuck cares if it's not a technical article.

Furthermore, this article in particular is an example of a successful, noble "hack" of the legal system and as such deserves a mention on hacker news.
No, they're about connections with the appropriate in-group first, administrative / executive ability well below that, and technical ability or common sense will actually disqualify you.

Cracking DRM should not be an offense if you already bought that thing. Except that DRM lobby declared it illegal (it's a corrupted anti-circumvention law).
Very cool. I have been looking for ways to easily move small data between my machines. (I have Syncthing setup between machines, but it's a bit cumbersome when I just want push a file or two.)

I definitely give this a try for this purpose.
Pretty nifty....Is there a file size limit?
It's buildable and works, but you obviously could never submit it to the App Store.
You don't show your hand, but you typically look at it.
a fifteen minute conversation with a layperson about a particular code base will do just fine. "You know how a car is simple to operate, right? But you understand it has an engine and many moving parts? Well.. Twitter is just like that, and there are actually lots of small engines making sure the characters get from your keyboard to other people's eyes."

> ... you just don't want me to because then it would be obvious you are just ripping people off to make more money for yourself / company.

Agree. If your car pollutes more than other cars and runs on the blood of innocent consumers, hiding that in the explanation of how a regular car works is not an excuse.

Anyone who says "You wouldn't understand" is hiding something. If you can't explain it to me, do you even know what the fuck you're talking about?

Just because Google is forcing everybody's hand doesn't mean everybody will follow suit. My channel certainly won't, simply because I don't like how they're doing this - to hell if I lose viewership because of it.

I like my Pro 3, but I think it's still a real pain to use in one's lap. They're not as good as they should be on airplanes, either - the hinge-plus-cover thing requires a lot of front-to-back real estate.

That's pretty much why I'm buying a Surface Book as soon as I can.
Maybe the solution is lawyers who know how to explain things better.

A trite solution, yes? But truthfully, if a lawyer cannot explain to the jury why this white-collar criminal deserves death (or whatever!), perhaps they should enlist some of the commenters on HN as translators.

I certainly hope so. Enough with the ad torture...
