"Studio" is American for "zero-bedroom apartment". It's an advertising-friendly euphemism, just like "garden" is American for "below ground level apartment".

An American studio apartment is essentially a hotel room with kitchenette. It has only two doors, one for the bathroom and one to the exterior. Thanks to fire codes, it will usually have at least one escapable window.

While it isn't the lowest tier of city housing, it is the smallest type of apartment with significant supply in the US. Dormitories aren't tremendously common away from university campuses, and communal barracks are uncommon outside of the older military bases--where they are generally mothballed until a particular need arises for large quantities of temporary housing.
It may be that they have mostly saturated in the markets where they think they are competitive.
So 7-11 years ago. Not very relevant anymore since the cost of living has increased significantly in SF since then.
I suspect "know the right answer" is
"my institution is too bureaucratic to actually implement obvious right things"
"managers don't listen"
"I think I know what I'm talking about, but I don't see above my little serfdom and upper level decisions look weird from here"
"I'm a prideful jerk with strong opinions"

Why was the title editorialized? This HN title isn't the real one. It's not even the subtitle! It's an editorialized version of the subtitle. And that's not ok.

That's an unreasonable comparison. Where would you be working for 45k that would equate to a 150k salary in SF?
Depends on your circumstances. If you're single, 50% or more, easily. If you're married/living with a partner or roommate, even more. If you have kids and/or significant debt, that drops significantly (my family of four saves about 10%).
Out of curiosity, what areas would you say this to be true? Not denying there are dangerous areas, but I've only lived in SF for 2 years and haven't lived in many neighborhoods (1 year near the SoMissPo underpass and another near UCSF mission bay). The only one that comes off as dangerous at night to me would be the tenderloin or perhaps mid-market (although the latter is quickly becoming more and more expensive).
Thanks for this feedback! The short answer is that our edge server software is open source and can be found here: http://pushpin.org

This information is a little buried though. The main reason is because the rest of Fanout Cloud (clustering, panel UI, aggregated stats, etc) is not open source. So when we say to contact us about self-hosting, we mean about the entire commercial offering, which at this time requires a conversation.

I agree this could be presented better though, and our enterprise page should be a lot more than a bare contact form. Probably what we should do is explain about Pushpin and the rest of the available components above the form.
If the goal of this article is to validate frustrated wives, maybe it has succeeded. But if conversely, it was aiming at making a compelling case to men I don't think it has.

I for one feel stereotyped and vilified (and I also feel at risk of being criticized for even admitting my own feelings).

What I'd recommend the author do is-

1. Reflect on her feelings. What does she really want, what is it really about / a symbol for (cleaning/initiative = caring?) ? Also understand any accumulated frustrations that may be coloring things.

2. Try to understand her husband's feelings, as well as any of his accumulated frustrations.

3. Ask him and make sure you understand his feelings. To do this, you need to be able to listen without judging what he has to say, even if it's hurtful. Once he feels understood, you'll be half-way there.

4. Talk to him about your feelings (does he not notice, not care, or something else). If he's uncomfortable talking about this, that's another thing you can't ignore and steamroll over, but should investigate gently. Hopefully he can understand your feelings without judging either.

5. All 4 steps above depend crucially on sincerity, good-fath, a sense of humor, and tact.

As an aside, I'd never consider publishing a criticism of my relationship online (nor would I use an anecdote as the basis for a gender-criticism), unless I had talked it over with my partner first and they read the whole thing. Of course everybody is free to share their experience, but wouldn't people naturally be hesitant to date somebody who uses intimate challenges as career-fuel?
I could see this making sense -- TaskRabbit only makes sense if there's economies of scale on the demand side -- I imagine that's hard to generate with the tasks they have on there. I've only ever ordered one TaskRabbit -- and yes, it was to assemble Ikea furniture.

Maybe. But how many people live in those places because that's where the well-paid jobs are?
Terrible title problems. To save time, here's the outline given when you click on the link:
TL-DR: 'Why does gripping a pen, tool, or handle feel more secure when it is coated with a rubbery material? The keratin of the skin outer layer is stiff and rough at a small scale. When encountering a smooth, stiff, and impermeable surface, such as polished metal or glass, the actual contact area is initially small as is the friction. Because the keratin softens when it is hydrated by the moisture secreted from the sweat pores, it requires many seconds for the contact area to increase to the value reached almost instantaneously with a soft material, such as a rubber. This mechanism might be used by our tactile sense to identify materials and has implications for the design of tactile displays. '
You run the risk of getting stabbed anywhere in the world. While the risk may be higher than average in certain parts of SF (eg Tenderloin) it's still not that high.
That comic is really funny, in a bad sense. She should've asked. For one, as someone who enjoys cooking, I really want to be alone in the kitchen. Also, if a person is not considerate enough to help, that won't change. If that guy is not already helping her out in the kitchen, probably he's that type of guy. As I said in another comment, if you want to live with someone who'll automatically help you with the kitchen, marry such a person. Because you won't be able to make the guy in that comic into what you want.
Dan Arielly calls this "the pain of paying". Supposedly the secret to good gift-giving is that you should get something that the other person wants but finds painful to acquire.

For example, some people feel guilty for buying luxury items when they "should" be saving or spending on their children, so luxury goods or gift cards make good presents for them. Some people have problem choosing among similar alternatives so gift cards are terrible for them.

In this case, it looks like they both find cleaning services painful, the wife because there are many alternatives and it's emotionally draining to choose and the husband because it's expensive and he feels like a sucker paying for it when he can clean the bathroom himself. It was mostly bad luck and misunderstandings.

That is why they bought TaskRabbit is my guess. With TaskRabbit the whole service should be streamlined to just Ikea and the installer?

Also: Even though there are many top-tier engineers in those hotspots, just how gettable are they if you're hiring in SV/Seattle/NYC?

Based on my purely anecdotal experience, engineers that would be easy no-hires in Chicago get scooped up into senior roles in the valley because everyone there is so desperate to hire anyone who can fizzbuzz. It's the best area to be in if you're one of the best... and also if you're one of the worst. Top-flight talent exists in these "hotspots" but they're all "Unobtanium" for anything that isn't a unicorn, IPO'd, or founded by one of their friends.

This is a good point. It really depends on so many factors what a good solution is for one's dataset.
Taking the right amount of time on the right decisions is key - gathering experience in turn ultimately provides it if you have it, or in hindsight.

As much as making quick decisions is valuable, its painful/permanent impacts to the group are high if they aren't flexible decisions, or aren't revisited.

New evolve extension release: version 6.7.0
It's emotional because one partner is expected to care about it while the other may remain indifferent. Sometimes your partner needs you to care so they can take a break from doing so. Now deep down you don't have to really care; there are things I do for my wife not because I care whether it gets done, but because I care for her and if she wants me to care, then damnit I'm going to care.
Also, if you're running RHEL/CentOS 7, you'll want to switch to the SCL version of Apache httpd (2.4.25) as the version in the base repositories (2.4.6) is too old to support either setting:

Put another way. They're not going to play ball. Things cannot be solved diplomatically. Unless you call breaking all diplomatic promises, and developing nukes diplomacy.

A rational actor is a nation that is predictable, and is willing to uphold their word, and agreements. If promises are broken, agreements torn a part I don't think that state is a "rational" actor.
If you're using OpenSSL, you can disable RFC 5077 Session Tickets via SSL_OP_NO_TICKET:

https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/SSL/TLS_Client#Session_Ti...

Figuring out how to access that option from your library/language is an exercise for the reader.

Looking into this for Python. Python 3 supports sessions and the tickets may be disabled:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLSession

https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.OP_NO_TICKET

For Python 2, I see no way to get at the session object (at least on the client side), much less disable session tickets:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html

Under Python 2, pyOpenSSL has better support. You can make use of it on Python2 (and 3) via requests by installing `requests[security]` instead of just `requests`. Using `[security]` causes requests to pull in pyOpenSSL, cryptography and idna packages.

Under the covers, requests is using urllib3 and it ends up makes this call if pyOpenSSL is installed:

urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl.inject_into_urllib3()

http://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/urllib3.co...

That's as far as I've gotten. There's no documentation so it's going to require reading the urllib3 source to figure out what's going on under the hood.

Edit: nope, urllib3 doesn't support SSL session re-use. There's an open PR:

https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/issues/590

I guess they wanted to say "starting a startup" - not starting a company.

To have a successful company (not a VC startup) you really just need to code a little and know to market/sell (or have co-founder who can do that). And you will be fine - not rich but fine.

Of course, the above is only true if you live in Bay Area... If you live in Bay Area, then you will need at least $250K/year to live "fine". Which is about $150K/year in Austin, TX.
That's exactly what diversity is about -- taking the status quo and changing it to something that works for all people.
Only at the big tech companies in the Bay Area will you get a hefty bonus, and typically generally mainly in the Valley in particular - startups generally don't pay that (occasionally you might find a startup that does 401k match though).

I haven't been at my BigCo long enough to say how much a bonus is like, but I do have max 401k match at 3% of my salary (rises up to 6% given time), which alone turns out to be ~$5k. Employee stock purchasing program with 15% discount with 10% of my salary maxed out also turns out to be ~$25k in stock (savings of ~$4k) - this does not include whatever benefits might come out of refresh stock grants, or performance bonuses. $50k in extra benefits does sound quite attainable though, even for an engineer not on $200k base at a BigCo.

YMMV of course.
> The third group, the one that actually creates value, is accurately represented as not as successful both in terms of money and prestige. I think this is a damn shame, and we should be striving to stop that.

You may like Eric Dietrich's book Developer Hegemony[1]. He talks about both why the third group is less successful and how people within that group can potentially improve their situation within the current system.

> I have found that the executive path is actually the one that most of the scumbags take, it is the one that attracts the most people, and those people are usually not likable, they're salespeople that sell themselves all day.

I've seen the sliminess as well, but regardless of how ethical you are, in order to be successful in any domain you must be prepared to defend your interests (which people might perceive as "scumbag" behavior) and convince others that you have something of value to offer them (i.e. "selling").

I think it is possible (though difficult) to be both successful and moral, but success isn't everything. I think certainly possible to have a fulfilling life and not be successful. But (and I'm not claiming this applies to you) I would caution people in general against getting stuck in the rut of telling themselves that they value things other than success and at the same time resenting those who are successful.

If you and your partner both work full time, factor 20k+/kid/year for child care. If you later send your children to private schools, factor roughly the same rate.

If instead you choose to send your kids to a public school that provides good educational opportunities, factor in either several thousand in additional local property taxes [1] or similar amounts in donations to the school PTA [2].

Right, choosing a restaurant in an easy example. It's managing the groceries too, it's keeping track of our social schedule, it's even keeping our chore tracker up-to-date (something I currently need to work on).
been running this math recently:

quality child care or private school is +$2k/month/child

+2bdrm housing $4k

food/transport/other $2k

for couple with one kid you're at $8k/month post-tax or $150k/year pre-tax to break even.

> Based on my purely anecdotal experience, engineers that would be easy no-hires in Chicago get scooped up into senior roles

I left a Chicago Loop job 3 years ago for a fully remote startup, moved to Tampa, moved from that fully remote startup to a Tampa-based org, and Chicago recruiters get in touch 2-3 times a week offering full relo expenses. There literally is an insane amount of demand and people with very little experience being pulled into Chicago roles.
A bachelor's degree of any type demonstrates ("signals" in economic terms): communication skills, ability to follow instructions, sufficient persistence to finish a long-term project. Some colleges are way overpriced, but in general I doubt you're going to find a cheap way for prospective employees with no real work experience to demonstrate those qualities.

Most of them I'd wager. Issue is, and it was for me, is that moving out of an area where I can walk down the street and get another great job to an area where the only great job is the one that this hypothetical company is offering just wasn't worth the risk. I have a wife and kids, and so do most specialized senior engineers.
There's a big difference between having the skills for doing the job and having the credentials for getting the job.
Typically it is one of the following:

- Older generations where "a firm handshake a smile got me my job and education, why are you younger folks so poor? Why didn't you buy a cheap house decades ago like I did?"

- Someone who never lived in the Bay Area, yet feels like they should comment on those trying to make a living there.
I still fantasize about having lisp "all the way down", but I'm not sure what I mean or ought to mean when I am fantasizing. On the one hand, I mean implementing lisp in hardware as fundamentally as possible (don't really know why this would be valuable, but I'm still drawn to it). On the other hand, I mean having lisp be the foundation at the software level (ie., the kernel and the rest of the OS; I can more easily see how this would be valuable).

Can someone here speak to the notion of a lisp machine in the future? Is there any chance this could happen? Would it be valuable? Does anybody else here have this same dream/fantasy/whatever-you-want-to-call-it?

(edited slightly for wording and clarity)
I don't know enough about Urbit's implementation or team to vouch for it, but I do find the basic idea promising: that we should have control over our own data, and should be able to do whatever we want with it.

I'm not sure why you though an ICO is a bad first impression. Yes, there were several scams but the blockchain space is full of very exciting opportunities. Some other commenter mentioned that a "new web" would have to provide sufficient value to the end user that the current version does not/can not. These experiments in decentralization are worth watching and probably where the "sufficient value" will come from to justify the use of new tech.

Depends on where you live. When I looked into splitting a place here in LA, it was only $100 less than if I stayed in my studio, with less amenities. I'm lucky, as I'm rent-controlled, but even people I know that live in 4-bedroom houses in not great areas are paying only a little less.
