> I think in the end people care about absolute income and not so much on relative proportions of the rent they are paying in housing. And it's certainly possible to live in a high cost city , get paid a higher salary and save a higher absolute amount every year.

Uh, not so much. Or, maybe if they're dumb. I do think people have a hard time evaluating the relative value of living one place versus another. That is, it's not that they objectively prefer to make more in a higher cost of living area (where, for most, compensation does not compensate for the high cost of living), it's that they have a difficult time understanding objectively that a high absolute salary number is worthless (and actually detrimental when it comes to taxes) and what really matters is your cost of living adjusted salary. I would argue that your assertion that it "possible to live in a high cost city , get paid a higher salary and save a higher absolute amount every year" is only true for very few.

In my opinion, and from my experience, most middle class people get really screwed in big liberal cities. They may make a higher salary in absolute terms but their costs are simply, across the board, higher. I believe I've even seen studies to support this.

My wife and I moved to the big city so I could get the experience I needed, and now, three years later, we're leaving because it doesn't make fiscal sense to stay. Taxes and housing are impoverishing us, and if we want to have any sort of viable future (savings, retirement, a house, debt paid off) we've got to leave and move to a lower cost of living area where salaries are still relatively robust.

So I know that the relatively higher cost of housing, for example, were a huge part of us leaving. And while it is technically possible to do financially very well in any big city, I would argue that the possibility does not become reality for many.
NTP is hierarchical. If you run a large organization generally you run a few NTP servers that talk to the internet. Then you setup your local nodes to talk to your NTP servers.

So it's hardly "a list of every running linux server".

I think CloudFormation [https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/] might be what you're looking for, they even use the term "stack".

At first blush it might seem to have a high learning curve given the verbosity of the syntax to define a stack, but with the launch YAML support, the syntax has become more succinct. Once you use it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

The product page doesn't do it justice, but in short, CloudFormation allows you to:

- Describe the AWS resources you need in a single file (YAML or JSON), this would be your "stack".

- View all the resources provisioned based on your code in a single UI grouped under the "stack" in the CloudFormation console.

- Manage changes to your resources as different versions of the code file, meaning if you update a resource's properties in code, it'll know and update the already provisioned resource.

- You can delete an entire "stack" and be certain that all associated resources are also destroyed.

- When I used it, the coverage of types of resources you can code for was wide and they're continuously adding more.

I recommend trying it out by setting up a simple S3 hosted website using this template http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuid...

If you're trying to remain cloud-agnostic, then I suggest you also checkout HashiCorp's Terraform [https://www.terraform.io/]. Think of Terraform as a scripting language that compiles into AWS CloudFormation or any other cloud provider.

Well, I can't speak to your career experience, but I can speak to mine.

My experience has been (31, SF) that companies are fundamentally disorganized, frequently reinvent things (a behavior seen at all levels), are skewed by politics, and ultimately are rarely successful due to the code. The fact is, that for most startups it's not the code that's make-or-break (twitter, snapchat, facebook, airbnb, uber), it's the business execution.

It's been my career experience that the only way to be a 10x engineer is to prevent management from engaging in unnecessary projects (Bob wants to rewrite X in node, Joe wants to make a service that only has the responsibility of CRUD to 1 table, Sally wants to move it all to noSql). It's been my career experience that soft skills give the best ROI.

So when I see a list like this, I find it hard to imagine how "Profunctor Optics" is what Zynga (or any company I've worked at) needed to be successful.
Considerations for Modernizing Scientific Compute Research Platforms
Your point #2 is pretty good, but I was surprised because every psychiatrist I've ever met has taken psychedelics, and doctors enjoy getting high just as much as the rest of the population.

But even so, I thought it would be the sort of thing someone would know about just through a general awareness of current events. I've never taken a flying lesson but I know who the Wright brothers are, that their first successful flight was in 1903, the basic control mechanisms of all aeroplanes, and a bunch of other rudimentary aeronautical knowledge. I thought most people had a vague idea of who timothy Leary was and that a drug named LSD was quite popular in the 1960s and so on - it's not exactly obscure.
Would love to have that inside something like drun or rofi.

Google Using Its Deep Learning Tech to Diagnose Disease
Just spitballing, I'm no materials scientist, but the property of water which makes it so well suited to hydraulics is its lack of compressability. If these tubes can be crammed full of the stuff then it might increase rigidity to the point where it strengthens the tube's structural characteristics.
Why? It doesn't seem like quite the same thing.

Popular economics on both the left and the right is always some of betrayal narrative. Bad things happen in the economy because powerful figures betray us. There's a million stories, all different, that fit this theme. The far left and far right use strikingly similar stories about this with only slightly different language.
This will put an enormous amount of pressure on IBM, what with the shortage of content strategists in the market right now.

If you were really interested in being fair, you would also point out that nobody who worked at IBM during the Holocaust still works there today.

To suggest that the IBM of today is the same as the IBM of that time is absurd, and constitutes an odd kind of essentialism whereby the character of a corporation never changes even though every single person who worked there has been replaced. It ascribes motive, personality, and an unchanging nature to a corporation rather than to the people who run it.
The issue here isn't the DEA or the current Administration in power, but whether a profitiable "therapeutic business model" can succeed in the establishment pharma market, with respect to any controlled substance.

The referendum in 1979 was over devolution, not independence. There was a narrow majority in favour, but an additional condition was attached that more than 40% of the electorate must have voted "yes", so the result was discarded.

A subsequent referendum on devolution in 1997 yielded a "yes" majority, hence Scotland now having its own parliament.
Ask HN: Suggestions for Starting Up a Free WordPress Hosting Operation
I have been commissioned to set up a complete free WordPress hosting operation; as a turnkey job. The client will provide all resources (hosting etc.) I recommend (and obviously, pay my fees :-)).

I have been working on (draft) product/tech and marketing plans and would appreciate any/all possible suggestions from the folks here.

This is what I have thought so far (bullet points ending with a question mark are where I'd particularly appreciate input):

Product:
- Free WordPress hosting
(On account creation, the users will simply receive wp-admin login credentials)
- 3 GB space ?
- Unmetered traffic ?

User Registration:
- To begin with, the client wishes to allow registrations only from specific countries.
This is a very important criteria for the client so to ensure this, I am thinking of
requiring users to send a text message. Any comments/alternative suggestions for this?

Hosting:
- A Kimsufi or OVH dedicated box to begin with ?

That's about it for now. All input/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
A decentralized internet still needs its pipes and some people will want to colo servers and not operate server farms from home. That means you still need to buy services from private entities.

One of the reasons why I'm optimistic for a Donald Trump presidency is that finally Americas ugly policies have an ugly face to go with them. Every single one of Americas Presidents, from Obama to Reagan, JFK to both Bushes all maintained a veneer of respectability and decency. All of them cultivated a diplomatic and "statemanlike" appearance, all while continuing absolutely barbaric foreign policies designed to maintain American hegemony and appease industrial interests, no matter what the cost. Trump, on the other hand, refuses to play by this charade and indeed "tells it like it is".

American foreign policy can hardly become more profit-centered and evil than it has been post WWII, but I predict we will see a resurgence of voices critical towards it in the coming years because Trump places no effort in hiding behind pretty words and a wall of PR. The ugliness of American actions will now be apparent for all to see.

While I've heard of stories of people injuring themselves by jumping out of windows and so on, I've yet to hear a credible story about anyone dying from consumption of psychedelics, or indeed suffering seizures. Panic attacks for sure, they're quite unpleasant although in my experience pretty rare. All the statistical evidence suggests that psychedelics are quite safe compared to popular stimulants and depressives. I've had several bad trips, but I blame myself for those - smoking a ton of weed after you've also taken psychedelics is a good way to get disoriented.

To put that in perspective, the "typical" dosis according to wikipedia is ~200ug.

For comparison, if you drink 10L of water, 200 espresso shots, or 600ml of 40% alcohol in one setting, you are likely to die.
“They were saying things like ‘I understand love is the most powerful force on the planet,’ or ‘I had an encounter with my cancer, this black cloud of smoke.’ People who had been palpably scared of death—they lost their fear. The fact that a drug given once can have such an effect for so long is an unprecedented finding. We have never had anything like it in the psychiatric field.”

This is needed by everyone, not just those dying of cancer.

Nearly everyone is infected with the cancer of cynicism. We are overcome by fear, too weak to do the right thing, condemned to remain prisoners of the dilemma, perpetual losers in the non-zero sum game of life. It is the source of nearly all human created folly, misery and tragedy, this election simply being a recent example. If only there was a drug that would get people to realize love can be the most powerful force on the planet, if only we had the strength of will and courage to actually love, to risk ourselves rather than play it "safe" behind self-servingly cynical justifications for doing the shit we actually do.

This letter is written by a person who contributes very little to the organization, yet seems to believe she is entitled to her conception of perfect social justice in all areas of life.

The US has had bad presidents before, and will certainly have them in the future. At no point so far has the CEO of IBM done anything wrong -- and when she does, that will be the time to criticize her. Until then, this is a CEO trying to promote her company to the incoming administration, and nothing more.

This is my favorite part:

> A look at IBM recruitment collateral suggests that the future of the company hinges on realizing an inclusive and welcoming culture, though you do not communicate this vision within the many pages of your letter to a man who will soon be in the top office of the United States government.

The letter is barely 4 pages long printed on US letter-sized paper. Where are the "many pages?"

That initial wave got them this blog post and now #1 on HN. In 2 more days they'll be up to $30k/mo, with a 4 day doubling rate!!!

In all honesty, the press -> growth -> press loop caught me up on on my first launch. When it stops, the real work starts.
In case some folks here on HN don't already know it, I like to tell the story of this "country".

Basically, it starts in the Middle Ages when there are 2 small states under Ottoman (Turkish) influence: Wallachia and Moldavia. As it happens for all small states, they get bullied around by their bigger neighbors, primarily the Ottomans, Russia and Austria. For our story only the Ottomans and Russia are important.

So the Ottomans and Russia keep fighting over the region and they keep trading territories here, completely disregarding the history of the region or the ethnic groups present there. Imperialism at its finest.

Wallachia is left more or less unscathed, but around 1812 Moldova is basically split in two, Russia taking the less developed Eastern part, called Bessarabia.

After all this abuse, Wallachia and Moldova decide to unite and form modern Romania, around 1860. So Moldova basically disappears as a state.

Fast forward to the end of WW1, Romania is getting bigger by incorporating all the lands around it that are majority Romanian, so Bessarabia becomes a part of Romania.

Meanwhile, Russia becomes the USSR. It's not hard to guess that Romania and the USSR are not the best of friends. The Soviets never recognize the Romanian takeover/reclaiming of Bessarabia, but can't really attack Romania (yet). So they form a sort of "Moldovan Soviet Republic" outside of the historical territory of Moldova. Basically "Moldova in exile". I like to compare it to Mexico creating a "New Texas" state after being kicked out of Texas.

Then, before WW2, as part of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Nazi-Soviet pact, the Soviets are allowed to attack Romania. They don't attack, instead they send an ultimatum and Romania is forced to give up Bessarabia, which is incorporated into the Moldovan Soviet Republic.

So now the new Moldova has both Bessarabia and that extra part that was never Moldovan. That part is across the river Dniester, ergo "Trans" (across) "nistr" (Dniester is "Nistru" in Romanian) "-ia" (particle for "land of" in Romania).

The USSR falls, Moldova becomes independent. Transnistria has Russia armies on its territory, so it declares its independence. Russia signs an agreement to pull back its army. 20 years after the agreement, the army is still there...

Depending on which view you take, evolution can be seen optimized for the survival of individual genes, not species[0]. In Dawkins' book, bodies are portrayed as mere useful survival vehicles for various genes.

Ask HN: Would you launch a startup with .xyz TLD?
We came up with a name that we really like and were able to register the .io and .xyz TLDs. The problem is that the .io is used almost exclusively by tech companies (we're building a social media management platform) and the .xyz is only two years old. The .com is available for sale, they're asking $1500 for it (down from 3K). I'm really reluctant to drop 1.5K on the .com version, but also worried/not fully convinced about using .io or .xyz. Would really appreciate any input on this. Thanks in advance!
