I'm wondering what the collision between fat web pages and bandwidth caps will look like. Lots of sites have untold amount of garbage on them and I'm starting to notice that many of them have automatic page reloads running. So unless you remember to close the window, it can be back there sucking up bandwidth.

I also wonder what effect encryption on the pages will have. Lots of info should be cached, but most of us are behind proxy devices, how do they do with the encrypted ones?

His website is a good example, it's clean, total page is 1 Mbyte of text with 102 calls from the page (for the thumbnails). It's sad to see a single graphic as a banner taking up that much space.
Nice.

A worthwhile eco-hacking campaign might be to "de-bullshit" the worst offending websites. Hack in, remove bloated bullshit, leave main content untouched.

It seems spreading the word about bloat isn't working. Might need to turn the heat up.

Bloat is a health risk in that Bullshit is a health risk. Out senses assaulted, our minds numbed and taxed with the task of defending that assault.

Anonymous should be on the case. They like the media-attention projects, but how about de-bullshitting the web for us Anonymous before it's too late?

This is the best New Years gift I could hope for! :) I've been using and slowly switching towards Elixir for last few months. It is fun, refreshing, enjoyable to work with and community is very welcoming and pleasure to be part of.
We literally did the same thing 18 months ago. 600k-700k, tri valley, appealed to the owner on grounds of nostalgia for raising their kids there, overpaid 30k. After a year we were in a position where we couldn't afford our own house if we sold it.
I'm working on a universal app right now, and I've found a lot of success factoring aspects like middleware setup and router setup, so that they can differ between client and server sides. On the server side, no actions are ever dispatched, so no router methods ever get called. The only thing I use the Router for is matching the route to know what to pre-fetch before rendering.

I agree with this sentiment in general, especially that our own feeling of self-worth can be determined to a fair degree by the opinions of people we surround ourselves with, and that this drives conformity.

However, I'd add an important corollary, and one that is perhaps a bit less cynical :). Even if it's mostly true that you can only feel fulfilled when your actions and opinions are approved by your peers, you still get to chose who your peers are, and whose opinion you value. That's true today more than ever, with the world's interconnectedness and the huge diversity of on- and offline communities.

Near the end of the article, Mark Twain says "Men think they think upon great political questions, and they do; but they think with their party, not independently." If you take the time to choose the parties/communities you align yourself with carefully, you can live a very principled and self-determined life even accepting the inevitability of some degree of group conformity.

Windows XP hasn't gone away.
Oh man, you absolutely should not be hurting for work right now. If you have any marketing aptitude, you can sell yourself and pitch the necessity of having an e-presence to cater to the youth. And if you're willing to sell your soul and go to Republican meet-ups (I certainly was), even Illinois' 13th seat which historically goes 80/13 and is basically a lock will spend 30k in petty cash right now if you can demonstrate experience with CRM conversions (i.e., think: donor dbs-- you can easily bill 250/hr if you're Salesforce certified). DC is glorious for engineers during uncertain election years especially for congressmen who are naturally always in fundraising mode, I used to clean up even during mid-terms. I don't bother with cold-calling ever but everyone's accessible now. Get penned for 15 minutes with campaign managers for congressmen and whoever's running their "social media outreach" component for senators (those fish are harder to catch, your return-on-time-investment is going to be best spent targeting vulnerable congressmen).
I'm a second generation Asian American (parents immigrated from China), but I have mixed feelings about the obsessive culture around academics. Of course it's good to succeed in school, but being so narrowly focused can produce unbalanced individuals. Back in high school, I felt like a machine whose sole purpose was to work myself to death by achieving higher and higher. I came home with a 2390 SAT score and my mom asked why it wasn't a 2400. There were times where I was planning to just kill myself to escape from it all, which is a common sentiment in the nation's top high schools.

In the end, all that pressure wasn't worth it at all. I burned out hard and suffered for it. Now I'm trying to find the right balance in my life, which has meant rejecting some parts of my upbringing and becoming more of what I want personally.
The IRS says money I give for no consideration is a gift.

The OP wants you to work on your project -- it's not clear what happens if you don't do that. If the OP does not get the money back or any other consideration, I believe that an accountant and lawyer could structure this as a gift. The OP will have to file and it counts against their lifetime exemption, but there is no tax (I believe -- talk to an accountant)

Software Engineer | Austin, TX | OwnLocal (YC W2010)

Positions: Senior Software Engineer, Junior Software Engineer, Product Manager and Project Manager

TL;DR: Full-time, local only. Contact hack@ownlocal.com. RoR, Go, ElasticSearch but we think you can learn these things on the job if you're competent. We treat employees like humans. $90k and up (for a senior software engineer) depending on experience.

We've historically been a Ruby on Rails shop but recently more and more of our stack has been in Go. We've built a big API on ElasticSearch which serves billions of requests per month.

We're interested in computer vision, OCR, speech recognition and video transcoding because these things are all part of our bread and butter -- small business advertising.

OwnLocal is dedicated to having a quality work environment for everyone. On our engineering team we value collaboration over competition, respect work-life balance and solve problems without blaming people. We have a "no assholes" policy. We have great health insurance. We're big enough to be stable but small enough that everyone still knows everyone else in the company. We pay market rate for Austin; for example, the lowest salary for a senior software engineer is around $90k/yr.

I'd be really surprised if there were any damage, because stress on this stage was much lower than in the normal launch. Reentry burn was so long and strong that virtually all breaking during descent was due to it, there was nearly no aerodynamic breaking, so there was nearly nothing to stress the vehicle - and during ascent, MECO was with a lot of fuel still in the tank so terminal acceleration was much lower than during normal launch.

We'll see how the stage from SES-9 launch will feel like - it will be a nearly max 'reusable' payload launch so reentry burn will have to be minimal.
This is also the trajectory of Winamp. An application that was complete by v.2. But you couldn't just have an MP3 player. No, it needed to play videos and radio stations, plugins, skins, etc. By v.5 I barely recognized it and all the new Windows it opened when loaded.
