I'm interested in this too. The setup I'm running at the moment isn't optimal, and I've got a client that would like to have all of their email archived for compliance / contractual purposes, but can't use Postini or other third parties.

I've been playing with the idea of setting up a back-to-back email server rig, which should do the trick, but it's really inelegant.

So wait, you're saying that you admire Oracle because they're evil and greedy and admit it, and that you admire Google much less because they have a "don't be evil" slogan but sometimes make missteps?

That sounds a bit shortsighted to me. I suppose it's ok to find Oracle's forthright greed refreshing, but... admirable? I find it awful.

I never thought of "don't be evil" as an end-all be-all promise to always do the right thing, no matter what. It's a guiding principle, one that has to take the back seat in the face of more practical considerations sometimes. We may not agree with all of those "sometimes," but that doesn't make those decisions automatically wrong. Google isn't perfect, but at least it seems like they try to have a social conscience.

Or maybe they've just done a good job of brainwashing me into thinking they do.

So my comment was removed without reason or identification so I'm going to assume it was a mistake based on that I previously posted two comments and removed the duplicate.

Here is my original comment:
"Well, part of the point is (or will be) that most people on the Internet creates content. Like you just did when you wrote your comment. I guess this will be clearer when the API stuff gets going."

While I do feel pretty unmotivated to explain what I mean, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

One of the more highlighted features of the Internet is that the line between customer and consumer has been blurred. Today you can create what was previously only known as a TV channels or newspapers in the form of video sharing or blogs. Even when traditional media publishes something, you can follow-up with your own view. Because of this and social media trends, almost every Internet user is also a creator. The upcoming Flattr API will let sites with user created content have their users flattr each other and take part of the revenue of those flattrs.

Are you saying that IPwatchadog are defaming Google? Because if they are lying, it would lower the reputation of google in the eyes of right thinking men, thus it would be defamation.
I suppose. I guess I just didn't find it funny, ironic or serious.
Sounds like you've never tried this freedom that you speak of. I've been doing the 3 things on your list for the better part of 10 years now, and I've never been wealthy.

3. Living on the road is no more expensive than living anywhere else. Less usually, since there's no rent or car payment involved. I can live large in Thailand for $500/month.

2. Living on the beach, I once calculated that I needed to bill one day per month to break even. Anything above that went into savings. That leaves 29 days a month to do whatever you like.

1. During those 29 days per month, I work for either a.) myself or b.) nobody. Maybe once a year I'll take a short contract, pull in 20k or whatever, and repeat for another year.

And that's just the level of effort needed for subsistence. Any money earned above that goes straight in to the "retirement" fund, in quotes because frankly I consider myself retired today.

Sell them at an airport- If you are able to convince someone there to let you sell them for a few weeks, Im sure you could get $5 each.

A clever idea may be to highlight that it is for charity, and ask for a "donation". Have a sign saying the recommended donation is £2 and I bet you will get plenty of $5-10 donations.

This will also raise awareness
It is quite a strong claim. You could at least provide some authority which reports of Apple wanting to sign an agreement with Verizon.

i find often even if you don't know the word, you know something about, for example, the phoneme structure of words, which allows you to guess.

it's not just it's not known, but also it has an uncommon composition.

for example, you may not know what the solution to abapi_al is exactly, but reasoning phoenetically should get it quickly.
I could claim with nearly all certainty that this is a result of their campaign. The attacked several communities. Not just startups, but communities with developers (wordpress, tumblr etc). Their marketing was bold; but looking back they might have been more subtle.
This is something I've wondered about for a while. We have a family of four - where does that economy of scale start to tip the balance? At what point does the increment of cost for private flight get small enough that you say, "OK, for being able to fly out of the local airport on a day's notice, that's worth it?"

Point 8 seems a bit unfair - the proof author's comments to me seemed to be 'confirmations of receipt' have started arriving (not confirmations of validation) and 'as you know this problem has philosophical ramifications' (not 'I have forever changed the philosophical landscape'). Otherwise seems like a neat article, maybe I should memorize the other points, could come in handy at dinner parties (cause I, like a lot of other people over the last week, don't know wtf any of this mathematical stuff really means).

Well, there are no twin-engine sport planes; you have to get a regular private pilot's license and then get a multi-engine rating.

Having an extra engine doesn't mean you are going to survive an engine failure. If you don't react quickly to the failure, you're in trouble. And remember, although a multi-engine plane decreases the chance of all engines failing, it increases the chance of an engine failing. So you increase your risk of Something Bad happening. People don't fly multi-engine light aircraft for safety, they do it for better performance. (AFAIK, anyway.)

Single-engine planes have quite good glide ratios, and there are a lot of good places to land them. Try it in the simulator some time.

There is a paragraph in the essay which stood out to me;

>>>The irony is that straight men could learn a thing or two from their gay brethren, as Andrew Sullivan implied in his insightful book on the AIDS crisis, Love Undetectable: Notes on Friendship, Sex, and Survival (1998). Often estranged from their natural families and barred from forming legally acknowledged new ones of their own, gay men, Sullivan observed, learned to rely not on the kindness of strangers but the loyalty of friends: “Insofar as friendship was an incalculable strength of homosexuals during the calamity of AIDS, it merely showed, I think, how great a loss is our culture’s general underestimation of this central human virtue.”<<<

I've experienced that in my life. The closest people I have are people who have no direct relation through blood with me. This was something really counter-intuitive to me, because I grew up in a country where family is supposed to be paramount, but I discovered that isn't so. I am willing to bet that anyone who has had to deal with forced social isolation be it through abuse, or homelessness will agree.

No one taught me that relationships are only as good as the people who compose it. Friendships don't magically happen. You have to work for them, and the cost isn't just time but it is something deeper and more intrinsic to who you are.

The smartest thing anyone could have ever said is that love is a verb. To love someone involves making "sacrifices" at one level or the other for the sake of the relationship, and most people are unwilling to do that. They don't realize that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

I think that this is the reason why most people, not just in the USA, think it's cool to be alone. They tend to desire instant results, which simply isn't possible.
> But IMHO travel is so much more meaningful than that, and in fact I don't see much of a point to the jet-set lifestyle at all.

As you travel, you slowly get friends around the world who are doing amazing things you'd like to see. I wish I could see my grandmother back in Boston right now, go to my best friend's birthday party in Los Angeles, visit Beijing to catch up with a couple old friends and talk business, and also be here in Vietnam for a couple weeks, also doing some business and adventuring with great people.

I have traveled the world slumming it. It's great, it's awesome. But as you do it, actually, the jet-setting lifestyle becomes more appealing, not less. I wish I had the freedom of action and mobility to be where I want without regard to money. Well, I'm working on that right now, actually. Well, not right now, I'm screwing off on HN right now, so umm, back to work for me :)

Crowsourcing Financial Whistleblowing
The only way to fully comply with GPLv2 - giving the right to redistribute to your downstream users - is to refrain to use patents to curb the right of your downstream users.

If Google makes a GPLv2-derived product P of a GPLv2-licensed thing T, the owner of the T cannot enforce patent rights on P because the license states they gave Google the right to redistribute T-derived stuff under the same conditions.
I find it easier to type "end" than "}".

"You look at my life and see empty houses (nevermind that I live with a bunch of fun, like-minded people); I look at yours and see sleep deprivation, debt, stress, loss of the ability to travel and develop myself personally--basically the end of everything I enjoy."

You can have a very happy life with or without children. My wife and I waited until our late 30's to have our daughter. We were happy before and we're happy now. If we decided not to have a child we would have been happy. Your list of downsides to having a family are accurate with the exception of "develop myself personally". It depends on what you mean by developing yourself. If you mean being able to study interesting subjects, e.g. take foreign language classes/study cooking/etc., then there's some truth to it. With a child, you have to pick and choose what you study based on having a less flexible schedule. But, developing oneself isn't limited to that. My daughter causes me to learn patience, empathy, and selflessness far beyond what I could have learned without her. It's a matter of not having a choice to do otherwise.

As for the other side of developing oneself, she and I will be studying martial arts and piano together. Not bad.

Enjoy your life whatever your choice. You're the only one in control of your happiness.
Quantitative Finance Reading List - Theoretical Foundations
A few book ideas for beginning mathematical finance.
Machine Learning Algorithm for the Netflix Prize (Hadoop, Java, Python)
Agreed; I'm a economic libertarian, otherwise a paleocon, except I break with both in "foreign policy"/"defense". And I clearly see the net neutrally problem, most easily explained with the conflict of interest between a telecom company that has it's own TV offerings vs. you using them as a dumb pipe for a la carte offerings they don't get any additional money for.

All that said, I find it extraordinarily difficult to imagine much if any good coming out of proactive government policy; as SamAtt notes, we don't even have to resort to theory to find examples of AngloSaxon (i.e. the most like ours) governments abusing this sort of power.

OpieCunningham's analysis ignores the inconvenient fact that a company or cabal of them can do only so much to me; the government(s) over me can imprison or kill me. And it's largely through government power that they've limited my choices (e.g. if I were to compete with them by setting up a WISP, to whom do have to get spectrum from? That said, they do generally present a nasty problem as the only source of back haul.)
Robonaut 2 -The legless android to become the 1st human-like robot in space
I heard of a company that specialized in costing projects to switch from Microsoft Office to Open Office. None of their customers actually switched. They just took the costing of the project to Microsoft sales and said: "we want to pay this".

So here is the cheap way for Google to attack Oracle: Fund startups that research how much it costs to switch from Oracle servers to Postgres, then sell reports to Oracle customers so they can get lower prices.

I can't see that funding some startups makes you vulnerable to suits, but I am not a lawyer.

I'd personally rather just fly a single-engine with a parachute. Many new planes come with them these days, and you can retrofit damn near any plane to add one.
I'm not sure about these results. Lifting until failure (also with low weight!) taxes the CNS heavily. So I'm not sure about the long term effects of this type of training. Going to failure with lighter weight is usually only recommended once per month exactly because of this reason.

I don't see why people are backing down from lifting heavy weights. Yeah, they can be heavy on the joints, but not so much when your form is good. Look at this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUJFRd4NMvM (40+, lifts more than 500 pounds, easy.). Once again I argue that people are generally misinformed about lifting weights and think they are too old or too weak to begin with, so they are looking for excuses ("I can't lift weights because, you know, my back/knees/shoulder/eyebrow" ...) or easier routines. That is exactly why we see hundreds of machines in the gyms which are a lot easier to handle than some weight on a barbell.

Rules for heavy lifting:
1.use proper form
2.warm-up properly (too many guys neglecting this!)
3.stretch once in a while - your flexibility will increase and a lot of pain you had will vanish (google "foam roller")
4.use knee straps when your knee is involved in any way (i.e. squats, deadlifts)
5.follow a smart routine (lifting heavy every day isn't going to make you stronger, pal).

Ask HN: Start Up or Sell Out?
I'm currently working on my own startup and have been at it for a couple of months now. However, recently, I've been offered a place at another company.

The experience I could gain at that new company is probably loads more than I could ever get slogging away on my own. And of course, I'd get paid too, so that helps some in paying off the bills.

Then again, I've always wanted to make it on my own, and it feels a waste to abandon the project now that we've come so far.

So the question is: how many of you would take the job (or not) in this case, and why?
I think the V8 technology in Chrome is based on much older Smalltalk VM technology that Google bought. Given that everything in software violates software patents, I think it is reasonable to assume that Java does.
Depends somewhat where you fly. From one major city to another major hub airport no question. But across a couple states that are not major routes say a small town in Montana to Wyoming, it could be a significant differential.
I'm guessing that jQTouch maybe never had any ambition to address the need that jQuery Mobile is hoping to address. It was clever, and it was first. Credit where due. But it was always a toy. Modern mobile JavaScript frameworks can't ignore the need for a true touch event model. Thank god John and his team are writing one, because (1) we pretty much know it will be good and (2) I sure as he'll wasn't going to write one.
I mostly agree but in the case of comparison chains it is lisp that has the half-implemented version: of course a<b<c is (< a b c), but a<=b<c, which is actually more common in my code, becomes (and (<= a b) (< b c)).

Mathematica, which has much in common with lisp, does something analogous to (inequalities a '<= b '< c), using symbols for the comparisons.
If you can gain valuable experience and salary at the new job, and you've only invested a few months in your startup, I'd say take the job, and work on the startup in your spare time (with their written consent, of course.)

There's no need to abandon the project; plus, you can always abandon the job in a year (after you've gained experience and paid off the bills.)
Nice work, as usual, Gabriel.
Ah, I see the misunderstanding. I don't mean that it stalls framework development, I mean it stalls projects. If I'm starting a new project today for a mobile app, do I go with jQTouch today? Or do I wait and see how jQuery Mobile goes?

This happens all the time in the industry. Familiarity breeds contempt, so it's easy to make a list of problems with jQTouch. But whatever is announced but not shipping has no bugs. It has no performance trade-offs. It is effortlessly compatible with mobile devices back to the Radio Telephones of the 1970s. And its programming model is intuitive, flexible, and powerful with no learning curve.

How can you resist waiting? What project is so urgent that you take a chance targeting jQTouch when it will obviously be made extinct by jQUery Mobile? So an announcement has a chilling effect on framework use, that's what I meant.

Alas, no way around it, you can't drum up support for it without perturbing the environment a little.
hmm...
The world is moving to be a more open society. It's not the place where evil can survive. Previously, dictatorship[corp] were allow to live peacefully because they control the media, and pretty much had control of their images. The landscape has changed and everybody is the media. I think it's to google's competitive advantage to be seen as good. I don't think a lot of companies have notice the landscape has changed, so they conduct business as normal.

The game still is survival of the fittest, but for this landscape, the fittest are good.

Without a doubt Google has the popular vote. I constantly hear people compare SUN to Google. Sun died, when? lol

Conceive a scenario where Google died tomorrow; now compare that to when Sun passed[it really did?]. It's not the same thing. "Google" is the most frequently used noun on HN, with almost 3 times the frequency of "Apple" [http://chegra.posterous.com/word-frequencies-in-front-page-h...]

Sun might be good for hackers, but Google takes it to a further extent and brought it to everybody.

Certain companies, besides their shareholders nobody cares if they live or die; nobody is super excited about their product. Nobody is saying they want to go work for them.
The only reason why they exist is because they were best of the first movers.

It's common practice when a company gets big in order to innovate it purchases smaller companies. You don't innovate you die. All the big companies employ this strategy(really, when last Apple bought somebody-NeXT?).
As an entrepreneur or a Hacker and being aware of the current situation, I think if you were going to sell your company you will stay away from Oracle; they will kill your culture. Also, given their business nature, they might even undercut you; it's more to your advantage to do business with someone who is good. And this is where I think Oracle has lost its advantage, it wouldn't be able to innovate.
