If you have feel a pull to stay up later every day, besides just being young, you might also have some form of Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome; I found that Rozerem (or some form of melatonin) helped greatly to remind my brain it was night. For some reason, other gimmicks to reduce my eyes exposure to light didn't work.

You may also try to make lifestyle choices that are compatible with you not being coherent before noon.

I don't really follow what you're saying here. I was simply trying to illustrate the difference between being rich or poor. It has very little to do with A/C or gadgets.

For the most part, the difference in the amount of enjoyment, food, shelter, and safety that I had as a child as compared to now is negligible. The changes in influence and confidence are profound, and after a couple years at this job I will be quite secure.

Being rich is about having the choice to do what you want to do in life. The poor can't outsource unpleasant tasks, they can't take profitable risks, and they have a hard time convincing others to do what they want them to do (without the assistance of a weapon). No amount of increasing world wealth is going to change that. In terms of life skills, the human population is a bell curve and there are always going to be some people who are better than others.
I'm not affiliated with the company in anyway, but I'm a big fan of http://iwantmyname.com/ for domain registration. Super quick and easy especially if you're using Heroku or GAE.

It's depressing how little GoDaddy has innovated and how dominant it still is.
When you research/start everything, a lot of time is wasted. Instead of trying to stay excited about any random one of them, instead write them down (so your brain doesn't have to worry about forgetting them) and then a week later, you'll have more perspective. Your brain will sort them out.

At first they're all exciting. A week later, only a few will still be exciting. Choose one of those, and then go nuts on it. (Continuing to write down the new ideas that keep coming will also help you stay focused on the one you do choose).

Lots of the Intel cards are low bar OEM, have little video memory and only really support fixed function pipelines rather than shader models. So you can't make stuff look as good and the bottom end of the market dictates how much stuff you can do 'mainstream'. Meaning lots of cards can't handle shaders which improve rendering quality immensely and put it on the GPU.
I don't think so, since the article states that the system needs to vary its output in 5 second intervals, the generators that use water will take too long to start spinning up to keep up with a sudden strong current draw.
"By the end of that summer of 1983, Richard had completed his analysis of the behavior of the router, and much to our surprise and amusement, he presented his answer in the form of a set of partial differential equations. To a physicist this may seem natural, but to a computer designer, treating a set of boolean circuits as a continuous, differentiable system is a bit strange. Feynman's router equations were in terms of variables representing continuous quantities such as "the average number of 1 bits in a message address." I was much more accustomed to seeing analysis in terms of inductive proof and case analysis than taking the derivative of "the number of 1's" with respect to time."

Whoa.
This assumes that the cost of doing so is zero. In the real world, it isn't.
We use Sass, but not Haml. We have been on Sass for a couple years, so it wasn't much of an impact to the upgrade in that regard.
It's not secure, but you have a reasonable expectation of privacy using text messages, at least as long as you trust the other person. Not "get away with crimes" privacy, but "I'm getting so-and-so this for their birthday" privacy.
I'm surprised Slicehost is not present. Perhaps is it included in Rackspace?
I don't think there's much problem with Apple providing a unique ID to an app — the problem is that Apple is providing a unique ID that's universal to every single app, making it far easier for some very troubling data correlation and identification by third-party services. Just a simple hash of the UDID and an app's bundle ID would probably be sufficient.

Edit: Now that I think about it, it would probably need to be a salt that Apple keeps privately — since bundle IDs are known and UDIDs are fixed-length, those that really wanted to could brute-force UDIDs out of the resulting hashes.
So despite the vociferous defense app engine received here about a month ago after some criticism it looks like no YC companies actually use it?

You are correct - even though the poor are now middle class (in terms of standard of living), they have not increased in social status.

This is unavoidable. Status seeking is a zero sum game. And even if the rich didn't achieve status (which many don't, BTW), there would still be status-poor individuals: the ugly, the socially inept, and the people with better things to do than engage in signalling.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I must have started and half assed roughly a dozen projects, starting and flaking out on all of them, before I said "you know what, fuck this". Went to the store, grabbed a 12 pack of redbull. Rewrote and finished two of the projects from scratch over the course of a weekend.

Were they great projects? No. Are they going to make thousands of peoples lives better? Probably not. Did I learn a lot and improve a variety of skills, making me better prepared for bigger projects? Absolutely
Sigh. this article made me a little sad. I keep wondering why the corporates who have all the money and resources keep using a technology that is just so old and has so many issues, when they have the better alternatives.

Perhaps. Heroku clients seem to be included in the amazon group based on the SSL cert.
I totally agree with this. Frankly, I don't think its too much to ask people to use modern software that is capable of very basic functionality like wrapping text. I find 72-column text with arbitrary (in the sense that the line breaks are at character-boundaries, not paragraph boundaries) line breaks incredibly hard to read.

For example:

I guess it also depends on who your audience is. Most of the devs I've
worked with use modern software, so long lines have never been an
issue for me. I could see where some teams would have a culture of
using more basic tools that it would become more of an issue. Of
course, typography plays a role, too. I don't generally use a
monospace font for reading normal text, and proportional fonts seem
to work better with this outdated style.

I've updated the headline to be less sensationalistic. They're not 'forcing' you to upgrade, they're just forcing you to buy it through the mac app store if you want to upgrade, and strongly suggestion you re-buy the app now if you don't want to pay full price when the new version comes out.
Wow. I'm actually pretty surprised to see this kind of anti-scientific nonsense on HN. I realize there are a lot of libertarians here, but this is science, not politics. When you manage to get 97% of scientists to agree on something, it's a pretty damned good indication it's real.

AGW is a fact, guys. The global warming denial "movement" has been funded almost exclusively by oil and industry interests, and has nothing to do with science. It's the same idea behind the Koch brothers' astroturfing of the Tea Party. In fact, the two phenomena are one and the same. The only reason the Tea Party is so strongly against environmental regulation is that it's been financed to the tune of $100M by David Koch, head of the second-worst polluter in America.

It's science, guys. I didn't think HN, of all places, would buy into this denialist garbage.
Before you get really excited, I ask you to rewrite the title and re-consider: 50% of web users still have no HTML5 video support.

I hope that idea you had is no longer still itching to get out. There.
You were poor with privilege (according to your "about me" blog page). Others are poor without it.

My response was not to the author, but rather to your response to someone saying that "poor" is always contextualized and there are poor today that are not at all well off. Your counter was "I was poor and I had things OK." That's not a compelling rejoinder. There are many poor that don't have that same experience.

My point regarding variable isolation (which you call 'flawed logic') is to highlight that there are lots of kinds of poor people: there is no such thing as "simply being poor". This is why the true logical flaw is when you say things like "we could say the poor are overwhelmingly blessed because some people who are technically poor live in mansions". No, you can't. You can't speak of "the poor" as a monolithic entity, period. Yes, some poor today have it better than some wealthy of the past. But there are poor today that have it worse than people in the past.

Which brings me, I suppose, to the point the author of the linked article makes: the poor on skid row do not, in point of fact, have "possession of consumer durables". That is the point the author of the post you replied to was trying to make. And while possibly most poor in rich-world nations are better off than most poor in rich nations of the past, that's not the original author's claim. The claim is that the poor of today are "the blessed of history." I see no reasons presented as to why that's true, and my knowledge of both history and the current world leads me to disagree (though again, that's beyond the point I was making).
Anyone that's self-hosting email care to explain why they're doing it? Seems like something that makes no sense to do internally until you start getting more "enterprisey".

Probably would be better to use a vendor-specific salt, so you can compare users between your application.

Since the UDID is just SHA1(SerialNumber + IMEI + WiFiAddress + BluetoothAddress), adding in a "vendor ID" at the end when generating it was a huge mistake in the original iPhone SDK, and they can't fix it now.
Wow. I wonder how upset they are going to be when they are denied insurance? And they'll probably sit there wondering why it happened. But if you try to tell them now they will blow you off.

I think the notion that simplicity is a value, rather than an end goal in itself hardly warrants the call to "screw simplicity". It is merely an aspect of quality to keep in mind while designing. Think of the famous quote "Make everything a simple as possible but no simpler" - commonly attributed to Einstein.

No, they'd still have to be swapped (under the current scheme of runway numbering). If you're landing on runway 18, you know your compass better be reading ~180° (after correction for deviation). Similarly, when taking off from runway 18, your compass should read the same.

Whether or not it's man-made isn't really an interesting question, as far as I can tell.

In fact, the only interesting question is what is worse: the effect of climate change, or the cost of trying to avert it. And virtually all discussion of climate change completely ignores that very question.

I've heard, although I can't find confirmation of it at the moment, that this has happened on occasion at airports in Alaska where, being much closer to the pole, the heading to magnetic north is changing more rapidly.
Interesting, I hadn't heard that other than anecdotal "I am a vietnam vet please help" - what is that percentage?
The problem is that everything is relative. Did slaves have it badly? Well they were fed, had shelter, and life expectancy too. Probably better than being a gladiator, for example.

People who grow up in Watts don't sit around saying, "At least this ain't Rwanda!" They just see folks who have nice cars drive down the street, or have nice clothes, or eat in restaurants with waiters, etc...

The argument that life is worse somewhere else is a loser argument to me. Oddly, the same people who push this argument will then collapse with convulsions if you tell them that you're going to raise income tax rates from 36% to 39%.

Have you ever been to Denmark or Canada? If so, were you tripping on something?

I have never been to Denmark, but I have been to several places in Canada, and there are plenty of poor people. Don't criticize people for rationalizing the whether poverty is ok or not if you're living in some fantasy-world.
I think that HIG and default UI libraries are great to give the default app a consistent and decent look and UX. It makes it possible for anyone to write an app that behaves and looks at a good enough level.

But, unique interfaces that stray away from these are just fine as long as it results in a better UI/UX. iOS apps have shown in a lot of cases that developers that care can make something that are highly customized for the better (e.g. apps from TapBots (http://tapbots.com/) or TapTapTap (http://taptaptap.com/))

I hope, for the sake of current investors, they find other ways of monetizing users. But my example is intended to illustrate the overvaluation based on present methods of monetization.

Nevertheless, I don't think it's a safe assumption that they could increase their revenue per user well beyond its current level. Generally speaking, it's pretty tough for free services to monetize themselves. The only routes seem to be ads & taking a cut of revenue from apps that run on its platform.

Facebook would really have to pull a rabbit out of its hat to increase its revenue per user well beyond its current level. It's certainly not a safe assumption.
NYC as well.
For any given diagonal size, the actual area of the LCD decreases as the aspect ratio increases.
Except that when it comes to mass animal deaths, the rate of it being caused by human activity isn't anywhere near as low as noise. And mass die offs simply don't happen "all the time". Canaries die of non-gas-related causes far more often than entire flocks of birds and schools of fish die within feet and seconds of one another.

Essentially, if a mass die off doesn't correlate with a particularly sudden weather event, or known human activity (fireworks displays) it's safe to assume it is us, from something we (tautologically) didn't know was happening or didn't expect to cause these problems.

And at that point, it's just straight-up good science to investigate the remaining cases to better understand our environment and how our activity is affecting it.
I don't personally host my own email, but I can see it from the perspective of data control. If you use Google Apps for example, your email exists on their servers. I personally don't mind that, but others may not be so welcoming. Also if you want a more detailed email setup with regards to routing and filters, it may be difficult / costly in finding a provider.
Maybe I'm over-sensitive, but the game sounds like it makes light of animal abuse.

Don't know about Canada in general, but Vancouver BC has a lot of homeless on the streets. Do you have a comparison of poverty levels between Canada and the US you can cite?
Love it. However at least SOAP is a spec and generally works.

REST is an architectural style there is no spec, just a idea! Added to that most folk also only build REST-like services.

Implementing a client for REST based services often requires a bunch of (generally simple) coding which takes time and is error prone.

Also pure REST is really good for building data access/CRUD services but makes it hard to build RPC type services without mangling the semantics.
Even if it were flawed, you'd expect some effect.

Also, you are simply wrong with your international comparison. If we apply the standards of Warren's study, any bankrupt citizen of France who spent $1001 or more in taxes on France's national health care system was a "medical bankruptcy".
I'm not affiliated with a YC company, but I do self-host my email. My reasons:

1. I'm a control freak and a privacy freak. I don't trust any third party with my email. I want to know how things work under the hood. And if I want to make a change, I don't want to have to depend on any third party to do it.

2. It's not hard to do. apt-get install postfix and dovecot, invest a couple of hours munging config files, and you're done.

3. Much easier to transition your data if you do get "enterprisey." All your data is on your server, so you can just tar it up and ship it anywhere.

4. You can configure the server so that insecure connections are not possible, making it that much less likely that someone will leak a password accidentally.

5. Stealth. It's much less likely that someone will try to break into my server than into Google's servers.
If you could come up with a system that could always determine where geographic north is.

I like these geographical data visualizations but I'm always slightly disappointed when the data turns out to be 90% what you would expect. I always think it might be more interesting to show some slightly more nuanced data if possible, like instead of showing volume of stuff, show the rate of growth of stuff or where stuff has appeared for the first time.
For me, a domain name is a commodity, so I go for the cheapest: GoDaddy.
Let me preface this by saying I'm not particularly a microsoft basher, however this smacks of their history of interface development. Remember COM in the 90's? It was so complicated no one really knew how it worked. The only way to use it was to use a compiler that had native support for it ... MS Visual Studio and MS VB. Delphi came a long way quickly and made it work. Anyway whether intended or not, the result was you were initially tied to using a MS tool to use the technology. SOAP seems the same. Odds are if you're writing one end of it or another (client or server) somewhere the mix you're going to have a Microsoft tool. If you want to talk to the product of that Microsoft tool by far the easiest way will be to use a Microsoft tool. So despite being "open", their implementation of it ties you into some vendor-specific tools.

Yes. Coming up with bad ideas is easy. It's important to have a good filter. In general, I think creative people begin many more projects than they finish, and often it's only once you get into the project a little that you can tell it's not really that great.

That said, in your case it might be worth taking one of your ideas through to completion just to have the experience of doing that.
Talking yourself out of your own ideas is a good thing no matter the frequency, so long as you are positively deliberating all possibilities. Solve each problem with your idea one at a time. If you hit a roadblock that certainly invalidates your idea, you reformulate your idea (or ditch it).

This is essentially the lean startup methodology applied to your ideas, and in a presumably smaller scope. If you're talking yourself out of your ideas because they're bad, that's ok.
