Eh I moved my family (stay at home wife and two kids). If you are willing to live outside of the trendy areas you can find OK places. Unfortunately single family homes (like we inhabit now) are not rent-controlled. We're currently trying to decide between moving to a multi-unit building with a 3-bedroom place or staying and putting up with the ridiculous rent. The multi-unit building would still be high rent but at least it would be locked in forever.

It definitely costs my startup employer (and myself), especially factoring in preschool. It also steals a job and "juice" from the local economy - we'd have already hired a nanny if rents were merely 2x a normal city, and we'd happily spend more buying from local craftspeople. The money goes into my landlord's retirement account basically doing nothing.
My apologies. I was only mimicking the tone of the post I was replying to in hope that the writer would see what he sounded like.
Would you care to share any additional details explaining why you would highlight just this one of your favorite startups? In my mind, Genius = bad press.
It truly is an exciting time to live in.

CRISPR in particular looks promising for editing human embryos, and we may be on the cusp of a post-cancer world with CAR T-Cell Therapy.

One of my coworkers, who has the same cancer as my deceased father, is going for an experimental treatment involving CAR T-Cell therapy.

Unfortunately, there will always be a bureaucratic burden, but I doubt it will restrict the progress of these types of technologies and innovation.
The question is if any of that equipment can still be trusted.
Given the current security climate, if that were my stolen gear, I'd treat it all as suspect and burn the lot in a barrel.

There's no telling who's done what to it or what kind of nasties are now in the firmware.
If you are talking about India, it wasn't a "country" before the British. It was a mixture of disparate kingdoms and sultanates. Not to mention that before the British, most of India was under Muslim colonizers i.e. the Mughals.

The Indians have always been a conquered people, it is only in the last 70 years that they have had freedom; you should thank the British for it.
Napier is one of my favorite historical figures, but wasn't sati banned based on the requests of (native) Hindu reformers, and Napier merely spoke in favor of the ban when other Hindu priests complained? It seems like a stretch to argue that it was Napier who worked to put an end to sati.
No, 30 is too high, but you will have very frequent changes during the first few months. I'll echo other advice: wait a bit, the poop often comes in phases.

By the time they hit six months it is less frequent, then after a year you may only have 3-6 diapers a day.

Remember with cloth that you have to scrape the poop into the toilet, you can't just toss it in a bag and have a service come pick it up (in which case you aren't saving money anyway).

I'm as environmentally conscious as anyone but disposable diapers are one of the few luxuries I choose to enjoy and I don't regret it for even a second.

I've been using scm_breeze for more than a year. I enjoy using git via CLI now because of it. Because of the numbering scheme I end up doing better commits as well plus time saved not typing out paths.

Big thumbs up to the devs & thanks!

I find it incredible that their drifting sent them in the same general direction that Thor Heyerdahl [0] suspected (and verified in the Kon-Tiki expedition) that one would go without any extra power of their own.

The fact that a man who didn't even plan for the trip (or have any provisions) made it out alive even though he was virtually alone for the entire trip (his partner died after 2 months) leads me to believe that Thor was mostly right, and that South Americans did indeed travel to Polynesia and beyond probably more often than we originally thought.

What an amazing story.

The original question referenced strongswan, which is IPsec, and where my investigations have focused in the past. But as I understand it strongswan is just for key exchange, and the decryption is still performed in the kernel, and often single-threaded.

It's easy to pass 10Gbps of TLS packets over a link with both sides of the connection doing their own encryption. But if you want to secure against possible unencrypted packets passing over a link, you'd want layer 3 or layer 2 encryption as well. Layer 2 means abstruse hardware, layer 3 means encapsulation of some sort, be it IPsec or whatever. That encapsulation is what I believe that kernels can not currently handle, though they should theoretically be able to. FreeBSD has made some noises about improvements to parallelization to support multi-gigabit IPsec, but I haven't been able to test them.
Another way to think of it is like a racket, if you don't join you suffer. Once everybody joins the customer base is the same. In this way, it makes for a good although distasteful(maybe) investment.

So Google returning to China makes them evil? What about all the other companies operating in China?
It's the very last sentence of the article. Hard to miss.
To preface: I find it extremely unlikely that this will ever see widespread consumer adoption if any at all. If it is indeed feasible to transmit power via ultrasound, there are additional hurdles to overcome. It will likely be high cost and reliability is an issue, and there is the question of limited appeal or application space. Everything I have that needs power has an outlet or easily available place to charge. I'm suprised they were able to trick not just people like Cuban into investing but also Marissa Meyer?

I can however see some use cases for this tech but just not for your average consumer. I bet someone could invent a surgical instrument that needs power wirelessly or there could be some equivalently niche use case for this kind of tech.
We do get some verity as a consequence of the long tail. Even though it's not totally independent, people do make a living on e.g. YouTube. While we can say that people have been naive and that fears over things like Microsoft's monopoly in hindsight seem fairly "cute", there's also a long history of dystopian science fiction predicting less romantic futures. Often including megacorporations.

I guess one of the benefits for VCs funding young people straight out of school is how quickly they can make them accept the new normal. It's not even (only) Amazon versus mom and pop shop, it's Amazon vs eBay. It almost seems like the idea of the (unbiased) platform will be a footnote in history at this point.

I don't know if the enabling of greater economies of scale in itself is bad. Instead it's the extreme potential for anti-competitive behavior. I have no idea how to realistically stop the first one from leading to the later one though.
New Startup Splacer Is Like an Airbnb for Event Spaces
Pretty cool, this is like virtual colocation. I have a few suggestions:

1. You should put up a performance/benchmark page to compare to both bare metal and virtualized competitors (ala your "value"). For example, here's a page comparing DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Linode: https://community.centminmod.com/threads/digitalocean-vs-vul...

You could make a nice price/performance matrix to compare against your competition.

2. Also I don't know how feasible it is, but you might want to allow some "trial" method, so an interested party could try your server for a short amount of time (1 hour, 24 hours, etc.) to benchmark their app.
Answer: Make sure your employees are of such low quality that their lack of experience and self-esteem ensures that they have few other choices.
Other comments indicate you wrote for the New York Times. I'd sure buy your book, or contribute to a Kickstarter for it. The Times stories and themes are copied slavishly by virtually all American news outlets.

To vamp a little on vonnik's thread. Try this thought experiment. What would the Times say about you and your job if they wanted to dig up a scandal? Your taxes? Could a reporter truly understand the technical aspects of your job with a 15 minute interview where they are as interested in getting viewers as they are in understanding what you do? Then why do you think the Times can cover equally complex entities properly, like the military or largish businesses? How can they understand what a cop does on a day to day basis without long-term embedded coverage?

When's the last time you heard political reportage not about the actual issues, but about what that media organization's polls say what people think about the actual issues?

Or: visit a country or state or city you know nothing about. Hang around with the locals and listen to what's important to them. Now imagine how the Times would cover it. I know the media seem to have absolutely zero knowledge about the daily life of Chinese citizens, even when reporting from China. I only know because I have family there, and they're cogent, smart people. But it took me 15 years before I felt I could discuss China fairly.

How would the Times cover the local mining community? How many kids are in 4H in the USA? A lot more than the Times thinks, I bet. How much coverage do they get? How many Girl Scouts are there in the country? How many people donate massive amounts of time to their favorite causes and get a ton out of it? Why don't we hear when local church groups scrape together 5 semis worth of food for people in Haiti? Why don't we hear how effectively Joplin rebuilt itself after the hurricane with very, very little Federal help?

Turn the tables. What if you had to report on the job of a reporter for an hour. Could you report about that competently by midnight deadline? What if you were given a story about the last fight your best friend had with his or her spouse/life partner. Could you cover it fairly in 250 words with a linkbait title?
The way you make money is by selling spamming services. The sucker is not necessarily the person receiving the spam, it can also be the desperate business owner buying the "campaign".
The datacenter is not going to be happy if they are offline due to attacks targeting one of their customers. The datacenter has an obligation to their customers, and if that means cutting off ProtonMail so that other customers stay online, then that's what the datacenter has to do. Then, ProtonMail is under pressure to pay the ransom fee to avoid having services terminated by the datacenter.

It'd be interesting to closely examine that equipment now (look for intrusions, take firmware dumps, etc.). Especially any outlier chips, like the radio. Maybe he can get Apple to help :-)
The Mughals were not colonizers. The definition of a colony is: "country or area under the full or partial political control of another country". The Mughals were ousted from Central Asia; India was the only country they ruled. So, by definition, they were not colonizers.

India had been ruled by kings who were not originally from India. But, nothing in the history compared to the "loot" of the British (see http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/04/east-india-comp...)

Fair enough, I have no frame of reference for this stuff at all, so it seems like magic to me.

Someone else in this comments section linked to an article that explains how he caught the turtles. Basically (like you mentioned) turtles would get curious about the boat and swim right up to it, so he was able to get them that way. I presume the fish and birds behaved in the same manner, so it really lowers the red flags for me.

I would still love to see a video of someone catching these things the same way the drifter did though.
Is there any easy way to determine if the equipment can be trusted?

Does anyone offer services in this area and how much would it cost him?

Could you elaborate on how they suffer with Baidu? I've found it to be top-notch and better than Google for the normal searches made in China. I generally make it my default while there even when using a VPN.
Sometimes this is good advice. For some rather vivid counterexamples, read up on Genghis Khan.

Computer security is of course a whole different thing.
Who is saying this?

Programming contests aren't anything like actually working at a software company. If you select for the wrong skills, you'll lose lots of good people.
I remember walking the boardwalk of Atlantic City when I was very young. My grandfather (a farmer) asked me if I wanted to "see something". Sure, I said.

The next thing I knew, he had grabbed a seagull by both feet with one hand and it was flapping it's wings wildly and squawking into my terrified face.

So I'd imagine that after a few weeks at sea and actually depending on catching birds/fish by hand for survival that one could do so.
Why There Will Be No Suppression of New Energy Technology
I am in the same boat you are. I also appreciate your practical and concise point of view.

Yes, it ought to work quite easily, but in practice it doesn't yet, does it?

I'm planning to spin up a few servers in Amazon to test it there just to get some benchmarks. What kind of testing and experimentation have you done? In my use case I would put the traffic through a single machine across a ten gig link to another machine. So I could ensure that all the traffic passing through with it.

The practical use case is to encrypt traffic between data centers. I don't see a feasible way to do that on a megabyte at a time. It almost certainly has to be done on a per packet basis. Either at the application which is a little bit difficult to do in the short-term, or in some sort of IP sec or other similar solution.

No question that the right solution here is to make all the applications do encryption, but again, I need to have a practical solution now, and then the developers can put that in.
I believe the owner of craigslist got sued over his refusal to maximize profit.
You started this comment as a hypothetical, but finished it with certainty. I don't think you're being intentionally disingenuous but I wanted to point out that your comment's conclusion relies completely on "[i]f Google is returning under the same terms it exited...".
I once encounter someone on reddit who says he purposefully ignore personal projects and open source projects contributions when making hiring decisions, because he thinks it is a white male privilege.
I can get why managers think the important thing is to save managerial time. But as somebody who has just gotten done with a round of hiring developers, I believe this is a false economy.

If I can hire just one good developer, I'll have added thousands of hours of effort. If I can find one who settles in, it could be tens of thousands of hours. If I choose especially well, I'll get somebody who acts as a multiplier on those around them. If I choose poorly, I could get somebody who's net negative, making messes and driving away good people.

Given what's at stake, I can spend what seems like ridiculously large amounts of time on hiring and still come out ahead. Maybe if we were drowning in good people, I could still take the risk of tossing good people in the trash. But demand for developers is incredibly high.

Actually, I take it back. HN, y'all should definitely choose people only with top-3 CS degrees. Because then while you're all fighting over a small number of Stanford job hoppers with crazy demands, I can keep hiring the less obvious candidates, ones who are happy to stay for years.
Craigslist has had some opposition due to its "holding hostage" of people's submissions and shutting down useful third-party apps on a whim.
Let me stand up for Sprig. They have, in my opinion, found the holy grail of McDonalds meets Whole Foods. They are serving organic food from local farms, made by local chefs, with the lowest carbon footprint of anyone -- all in a form factor that people will actually use. That's why I favor their future over that of Pizza Hut, Postmates, Uber Eats, and even Josephine. Instead of looking for faults, I think they deserve a round of applause.
Writing the Prince symbol in Unicode (2013)
You're assuming that Baidu's faults are somehow because the people running Baidu are simply not as skilled as Google, and I doubt this. If Google was running in China, I doubt it would be that much better than Baidu. The censorship obviously degrades the quality of search results, and China does other things which make running web services intrinsically difficult, especially if you're trying to keep to Western principles in any way.
Only if there was a universe in which India would have not have been colonized, which there was not. Ergo, no false dichotomy. They got a pretty good deal, all told.
I don't think it's really that easy. Pulling out of China didn't prevent any evil, it just moved it to Baidu. Would the world have been a slightly-less-censored place if Google had stuck it out in China, filtered some results, and pushed back in others? I think probably yes.

Either way, having more competition between search engines in China couldn't possibly reduce information flow. Maybe this will make it more likely people can find banned content one way or the other. Turns out China can live without Google, and they need a plan B.
I hate to be rude, but this AskHN was clearly a request for people to mention what startups are doing new and exciting stuff. A dedicated server provider, unless they're doing something exceedingly unique, doesn't really fit that criteria. There are hundreds of them out there.

The hosting industry right now is in a race to the bottom in terms of prices and from what I can gather from your site, all you do is rent out servers you colo in the InfoMart facility. I don't know if you actually rent a cage and use your own equipment or if you just resell servers from one of the dozens of providers there.

It's going to be a hustle to grow when your competitors like online.net and dacentec.com offer servers with similar specs for less than half the price you do.

I just got a server last week from online.net for $32 a month that exceeds the specs of your $99 a month plan.
While it's micro see that html can render a lot of stuff on some devices, I find the comparison to Tex redicoulous.

I have yet to meet a Tex document that on the fly can reformat itself to fit anything from a phone to a large desktop screen, let alone link to documents all over the web, handle banking or playing games.

Tex is really good at getting your print document to look a special kind of way. Html is really good at getting text formatted to your current device, at the loss of pixel (or mm) precision.

And neither format is nice to type your documents in. I guess that's the only place they are comparable :)
"Don't be evil" is still included in Google's code of conduct.

I don't know the specifics of the proposal, but I imagine that HN would be safe, unless the blog post author got annoyed at making it to the front page.

Your point, however, is a good one. This legal framework would kill off Reddit, Hacker News, and all the other link aggregators out there. If linking to copyrighted material without permission counts as copyright infringement, then linking to anything, anywhere becomes a very dangerous act. It'd probably also hurt Twitter and Facebook badly (no more linking to viral videos or funny images).
Affirmatibe action means that you take action to diversify your applicant pool. It's back from when you couldn't just apply online.

Not that you hire anyone based on race / etc. you still hire the best candidate.

I forget that the words affirmative action mean something different to a younger generation who mostly have encountered a weird perversion of the original meaning in higher education.
They don't use an algorithm similar to page rank. Results are much more biased towards special interests than google.
He could also cook entirely by himself and feel worse yet knowing he's hoarding his money and not parting with some of it for food knowing some of it would end up employing otherwise people who'd have a hard time finding skilled employment.
I was referring to the Integrated Task Force study (which the Corps has yet to release in toto). Though I don't want to litigate the women-in-combat issue here, I'll note that plenty of female Marines (and soldiers) have over the past decade and a half of war operated effectively as light infantry in high OPTEMPO environments; the enemy doesn't care if you're an officer leading an infantry platoon or a logistics convoy. That doesn't means that combat MOSes should become open as a rule, but I'd like to see an analysis of the field effectiveness of units in combat as well as training.

Pregnancy is a stickier issue, and for the Corps is more problematic because they historically have had much higher undeployable numbers than the other services. Unplanned pregnancies are lower than the civilian population for officers and senior noncoms, but are roughly average for junior enlisted when adjusted for socioeconomic factors. Military policies forbidding any access to abortion procedures on-base also makes it harder to terminate unplanned pregnancies and, often when deployed overseas, impossible, which could account for some of the statistical correlation you cite. Actually, if you happen to dig up a citation to that study, I'd love to read it!
I've been looking for something like this in my life, but what's a good place to start learning how to cook?

I'm a young single dude in his 20s, and the most I can do is boil some pasta. I work from home so time is not really a huge issue, I just don't know where to start. Any tips?
