Damn I knew GitLab was good but that article made it sound far more amazing than GitHub. I'm impressed.

One thing I've really wanted was a voting system -> merge. Is there a way to require X amount of votes (in general or from specific in a specific group) which, once that is hit, allows the PR to be merged into master? Part of our typical code review workflow is requiring a specific amount of people to approve the PR before it goes in but it's basically the honor system right now and it would be really cool to turn that into some sort of rule.
Why not just give poor people money, instead of lowering taxes on specific things that are also consumed by rich people..
Growing kids and growing companies
Your company is appropriately named, as hiring for sales is certainly more of an art than hiring engineers. It's difficult to hire for sales and other customer facing positions without taking into account personality fit and likability, which are hard to measure/quantify and will often result in someones idea of unfairness.
I'd argue that promising what you can't deliver is a mistake in sales, too.
You know, it makes sense to me that increasing supply should drive down demand and hence prices. But I frankly don't care.

The entire piece reads like an excuse to not do things for the poor. How about we actually do things FOR THE POOR instead of tossing them scraps from the tables of the rich?
I vouched for your flagkilled comments, maybe that will help unkill them.

While I don't agree with much of what you say, you're presenting your ideas in a thoughtful and respectful manner, so I don't personally feel they should be killed.
What'd you pay for? They flew me out, paid for the rental car and hotel, and gave me a food stipend. I took a couple of paid days off from my then-current job so I wasn't out salary, either.
This made me wonder: does "homie" (urban US slang used a lot in hip-hop to mean something like "trusted friend") actually come from British gay slang taken from Italian "uomo"?

http://www.lorem-ipsum.co.uk/pdict.php?letter=H

Transitioning from the now dated "my man" to "my homie" seems very easy, although I'm not sure where the "homo" and "uomo" closeness fits into the theory. Wikipedia mentions the pun with homosexuality, but says "homie" originated with Spanish "hombre" (presumably the same root as uomo?) to "homeboy".
> [...] everyone is receiving a fixed quantity in government services.

I generally agree with your argument, but there's an argument to be made that rich people benefit more from eg protection of property by the police, because they do have more property.

(Not all that convincing to me, but it's a decent argument.)

A really nice tax is a tax on the unimproved value of land---it's fully born by the owner of the land and (for economic reasons) can not be passed on to the renter. Henry George had a point.
How about just /Ac|Ag|Al|Am.../. Let the regex compiler do the work for you, and keep it readable and maintainable.

(A true regular expression is compiled to a DFA, which is unique for the set of input strings matched, so there is nothing to gain performance-wise from factoring out common prefixes. That is quite literally the job of the compiler.)
Too naive, I'm afraid (as well as, in my opinion, misguided).

Just put yourself in the shoes of the investor. Government announces they're gonna make you pay through your nose if no one "lives" in your apartment.

Leaving aside the dubious morality of such penalization (it's a slippery slope!), is your reaction going to be "Oh noes, I am ruined! Better sell my apartment now."? Or can you think of half a dozen simple, practical ways around it?

I bet you have already.

Just to make sure, do you always vote for parties that are opposed to long copyright terms? If you were eligible to vote and didn't do this, then you have yourself to blame. Politicians are ultimately accountable to their voters and whatever laws you don't like are probably in place because most people either do like them or don't bother to check what they're voting for.

At this point they need to be widened and expanded.

What I'm advocating isn't simply a one-off highway and bridge expansion; rather I want the regional development plan scrapped and I want a new one that no longer treats Richmond/Delta/Surrey as a separate development region. Rather than fighting and antagonizing families who want to live south of the Fraser, we should try to integrate Delta and Surrey more completely with Vancouver and Burquitlam. Highways to bring people to their jobs in Vancouver, yes; but also a focus on encouraging businesses, perhaps through preferential taxes, to locate in Delta and Surrey. We should be planning, zoning, and developing to minimize the presence of the Fraser. That would include more bridges, but it would also include more mass transit.

And if we need to pay for this somehow, I can't think of a better way than a non-linear property tax on everyone west of Cambie. ;-)

If you're going to be in this industry in 2016, git is one of those things with which it's worth getting at least minimal familiarity.
Just wanted to say that I use the CE edition (self hosted) at my job and we love it. The built in CI has been a major game changer for us and has really helped in preventing bugs from slipping through on our MR's. Keep doing an awesome job and I'll keep telling people how awesome your product is.

Also as an ops engineer I love how hassle free our Gitlab instance has been to maintain.

Yes!!! Democratic governments need this.

If one party or politician wants to logroll additional policies/amendments that work against the interest of the people, the records should permanently reflect their sleazy actions.

Campaigns shouldn't be about PR and a candidates ability to BS people for likes. Their commit history should reflect their true stance and impact on policy.

Your welcome.

$150 on an average invoice of $5k isn't nearly enough. My penalty is 10%. Yea that is insane if you do an APR but I don't treat it as that, it is a one time penalty. Also, I usually set a minimum of say $100.

On #3. You have only one option if someone doesn't pay you. Stop the service. It is kind of like if you don't pay your cable bill, they only have one option really, stop giving you service. Sure they can send you to collections but the only real punishment is removing your access. Same for you.

I totally understand that being a hard concept as you probably are a good person and want to see the good in people. But people will take advantage of that until you draw a line and prevent it. It sucks but it is just how some people work and have to be handled.

Here is the plus. If you setup your marketing correctly and target the correct clients etc then this becomes a small percentage of the people you deal with. And honestly the people who routinely do this to you are the people to cut loose. The guy/gal who had a rough month and calls you is almost never the worry.
You seem to be forgetting that there are no jobs in those places. Affordable housing isn't worth jack when the only job you can get there is working at Walmart, because there aren't any software development jobs there (for instance).

The other problem is that if you're a young professional, you may very well be single. Moving to a small city or town means you will not get a date, unless you want to date some overweight, uneducated woman who has 4 kids and talks about Jesus and guns all the time. If you're on this site, that probably isn't the right demographic for you. You'd have better luck moving to a foreign country; rural and urban America are that different these days.

They flew me out, paid for one night before the interview and one after at a hotel in Manhattan, specifically denied me a rental car, and gave me no stipend. Since I thought showing up to a day of interviews with terrible jet lag was inadvisable, I had to pay for an additional night before the interview myself. I also had to take two days off work. This was "paid time off", but since paid time off is cash equivalent, yes I was out salary.
Ask HN: Was Parse emails database leaked?
I hope this is good place to ask?

Today I got multiple spam emails with title

[test] Facebook Analytics for Apps: Create App Events

First from

eiad_rayyis@hotmail.com

Then From

miriamk@fb.com (in header)

through

potomac1050.mktomail.com

To all my parse-specific accounts (name+parse@gmail.com) - I have multiple (2..) for private and work-related things.

As those email addresses were Parse specific, I think I haven't shared them anywhere else.

Did anyone else got spammed? Searching through Google and Hacker News doesn't yield any results

Thank you for reading!

Ps. Is this good place to ask? Where else would you suggest I should direct my questions to?
Too little too late. While there are certainly plenty of rarely-updated packages still on SF, many of the good active ones have already left. They'll need significant investment in order to turn things around quickly enough and bring users back. Somewhat hard to believe the ROI will work out though...
You are attacking the wrong people. Prop 13 applies to business real estate as well. This is the true problem. Before Prop 13 business was paying 2/3 of the property taxes now business is paying less than 1/3.

The problem isn't the elderly, the problem is that Prop 13 includes commercial properties
I strongly dislike the idea of a CA going around revoking certs/keys just because the keys were leaked somewhere.

This road (as wished for by the author) is very dangerous - it reads to me: "If a software(-bug) or human error allows technically skilled personal to gain access to a private key, all connected keys shall be revoked".

This would apply to (possibly) millions of servers with e.g. vulnerable PHP versions or such stuff.

So. Torrents Time made a bad move. Why is that a CA-concern? Honestly, tell me.
I still haven't seen a better git branching model than https://gist.github.com/17twenty/6733076 (aka feature branching model). I've found this model works well for smaller apps and can scale easily with modularization and feature flags.

Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?

Guildenstern: No.

Rosencrantz: Nor do I, really. It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never know you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be? In a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it. Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you'd be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you're dead. It isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off, "I'm going to stuff you in this box. Now, would you rather be alive or dead?" naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well, at least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out."

[bangs on lid]

Rosencrantz: "Hey you! What's your name? Come out of there!"

Guildenstern: [long pause] I think I'm going to kill you.
I think the headline is only true if the new housing for the rich actually increases the overall supply. Is that actually happening in SF?
I disagree. If the housing costs shoot way up, why should those people suddenly pay more money? Did a real estate bubble suddenly make it more expensive to police the area? I don't think so. The city doesn't need more money, it needs to stick to its budget.
There are many more reasons. One time I got this, "We can't bring you on at this time because our department no longer has the funds we were expecting." They actually called back six months later, out of the blue, and offered me the job.
There is nothing in the article to justifying the headline. What the headline should have said is "more expensive housing keeps the prices of the expensive housing lower". While true, this has absolutely no reflection on the affordability, the latter being dependent on things like level of income and such. If the cheap housing is removed to be converted to expensive, there is less cheap housing, and it becomes less accessible, because more poor compete for it.
OK, that doesn't actually sound like metabolic change to me. I think it's just that 3 days a week at gym, lifting and cardio/running burns more calories than the 5K walking steps you substituted for those activities. The default Fitbit goal was not for you...maybe a weekly exercise goal instead, which you can also do on Fitbit.
You hit 140 in traffic? Wow.

Resting HR is tricky - I wouldn't consider myself a gym rat but I do run a few times per week and I ride my bike for fitness so I spend far longer than 1 hr above 150 per week.

Therefore, their work is paet of the public domain and can't be copyrighted or licensed. Period.

The radical plan to destroy time zones
I have many many email addresses that recieve push messages from services I tried. Trying something out is often the waste of time that keeps on wasting because usually what I try out isn't right for me and I get emails to manage into spam for years.

To put it another way, the problem I am trying to solve has never been that I don't get enough email from you. When the coin is my email, it's an indication that our interests are misaligned.

Regarding the video, one negative metaphor is enough to set the stage...either head banging or the death valley of deals. Is the protagonist me or my deals?

Ask HN: How is this VPN setup for personal use?
Just looking for knowledgeable feedback about this setup. Some of these solutions came up in a thread today. I run a few solutions mixed together.

I use two Digital Ocean servers in different datacenters in which I have ran this script (https://github.com/jlund/streisand).

I modified the script (https://github.com/jlund/streisand/tree/master/playbooks/group_vars) before I ran it and pointed the upstream DNS servers to my two personal DNS servers that are hosted on different datacenters.

The DNS servers are running a script (https://github.com/Kolyunya/afdns) that pulls the hosts file daily from (https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts).

It has been working great for a few weeks, but I'm curious about any improvements I could provide.

...Well, a tiny part of whose programming?

Programming languages (at least the not-so-academic kind) need to mesh with the problem-spaces being solved, and there are definitely some contexts where most of the work is encoding and applying arithmetic rules.
What? That's crap. Why should single home dwellers have to pay more for water and electricity and gas just because their house is bigger? Then you'll have apartment dwellers running the heat with the windows open.

Utilities should be paid per-use, just as it is now. People with bigger houses are naturally going to pay more because a bigger house usually needs more power/fuel for HVAC, unless their house is more efficient. Also, we need to incentivize making homes more energy-efficient, and regressive policies like yours discourage efficiency. Smaller isn't always better; crappy old small houses and apartments can easily use far more energy than new McMansions.

And that leads me to one big problem in the rental market is that landlords never spend a dime on improving or renovating homes for better energy-efficiency, because the tenant has to pay all the utilities.

How about a progressive consumption tax?
That's kind of the point of civil disobedience. You acknowledge that the penalty is worth standing up for your cause.
And if the total housing stock increases then that means that rich people won't be buying up the poor housing stock.

For every "Rich Person Condo" that is built in SOMA, there is one less "Up and Coming Apartment in The Mission" that gets taken up by a rich techie.

The rich are going to move to the city whether we like it or not. They have the resources, they can buy out whatever place they choose. The only choice we have to make is whether to build housing for them or to just let them displace existing residents.

No one is tearing down old units. People are trying to get new units built, mostly on vacant lots, and getting blocked by incumbent landlords who want to see prices go even higher.
> I generally agree with your argument, but there's an argument to be made that rich people benefit more from eg protection of property by the police, because they do have more property.

That isn't a problem on the tax side, it's a problem on the services side. (And that specific example is almost irrelevant because enforcing property rights is such a tiny proportion of government expenditures.) If the rich are getting $5500 worth of government services and the poor are getting $4500, then change what services the government provides.

Although notice that it's still progressive even in that case as long as the difference is small: If the rich pay $10,000 in taxes and get $5500 in government services while the poor pay $2500 in taxes and get $4500 in government services, there is still a transfer of wealth from rich to poor.

A good way to dispense with the calculations is to make the primary "government service" a basic income. You don't get $5000 in "government services," you just get $5000.
Done. I'd love to work on it but I'd unlikely have any time to do so (at least in the near future).
