Actually, I can honestly say that I love working out. It helps regulate my sleep and moods, a lot of my workouts are focused around skills like martial arts, so I'm learning new things while I do it, and to be quite honest, this xkcd says it all:

http://xkcd.com/189/

I didn't get into working out until I started treating it like the geek activity it always wanted to be. Biology, anatomy, physics, math, it's all there.

I always wonder how high school would have been different if Phys Ed. had been as challenging of a class intellectually as any other science.

> One baffling aspect of the current recovery is why U.S. companies continue to sideline nearly $2 trillion in cash instead of using it to buy equipment or hire workers.

My understanding is that this is partly due to the tax treatment of profits. It's more profitable for shareholders to have a company with a rising valuation than to receive a dividend.
Depends on your archive. There is literally zero chance a clinical research organization (for example) would outsource any aspect of data collection, storage or retrieval. Regardless of what systems where used there's simply no way you could walk into a boardroom of client pharama execs and say with a straight face you had the level of control over the process required to meet their needs.
How to Get Cheap Flyer Printing for Your Promotions
Cheap flyer printing is among your best bets if you need an effective yet inexpensive way to promote your business or products. Flyers (also called handbills or leaflets) are easy to distribute; hand them out on streets, mail them, or include them in invoices and reciepts. As they are mostly inexpensive to print, you can produce them in volumes and advertise to a large group of people in a single distribution.

Ask HN: Adding something Special to my semester project
I am a CS student at Penn State, and for a class I have to come up with a project that makes use of networking sockets connecting to a MySQL data base, HTML 5, and real time synchronization of the data in the data base. My idea was the create a website in which that the user is able to submit code in multiple languages(one at first) and save it to the data base. All code is visible to everyone and able for real time updating from anyone.(Kinda of like Github). This project will be fine, but I was thinking of adding something that would make my site unique from other ie Github or other code sharing site. Any thoughts?

You can put me in the "doesn't want to pay for content" box when it comes to science. Science, including computer science works best when new discoveries are spread far and wide free of charge. Journals make their money by securing publication rights in exchange for deciding that something is important enough. Once, it was difficult to publish information to a wide audience, but in the web age, journals seem like a bit of a scam to me.
All of those systems introduce convenience at the cost of lockin and they are no longer suitable once you reach a certain scale. Then the problem becomes either the lack of visibility or the cost with the metered services.

For me, a nice service like PubNub would run us nearly $300/day. Compare that to a simple EC2 m1.large at $240/month.

Visibility comes most of all with DBs where you want to manage lower level settings. Things like MySQL configs, disk volumes and their configuration, etc. Good luck tracking your IOPS on a hosted service, or since they're likely cloud based, getting good throughput/latency levels.

Overall though, sysadmins are changing into devops. They're the ones who connect the dots between what the app is doing, what scale it needs to run at, and the systems need to support those. As things grow, need management of all the moving pieces. Then comes monitoring minute aspects of the environment to ensure performance and stability, paging when something goes out of bounds, etc. And as you grow, minor changes or upgrades can have a huge impact or require a lot of roll out, so need to test and benchmark several aspects.

Sysadmins in the small scale may be less important, but they're becoming even more critical as you grow. The nice part is the tools they can leverage are growing so you can do more with fewer hands.

I don't know -- A2Z is in SF just off Market street, the employees receive Amazon stock, get discounts on amazon.com, work exclusively (afaik) for amazon.com, and some lawyer has figured out how they aren't actually working for amazon and thus amazon doesn't pay ca taxes. Seems pretty much like outright theft to me.

I have an opinion.
> Are there more current tests

There's http://html5test.com/ (which is only so-so as a test, since last I checked it only tests whether a feature is feature-detectable, not whether it actually _works_ or anything, for the most part; see the "input element types" section in Safari 5, say).

Once IE is passing Acid3 or close to it, Hixie was going to consider working on Acid4, maybe.

Note, by the way, that most of the point of the Acid2/3 tests is not to push new functionality as much as to push correct implementation of _old_ functionality: stuff that's been specced for a while but is buggily implemented. This was less true of Acid3 than Acid2; last I heard the plan was for Acid4 to be more like Acid2 in this regard.

So are you really looking for new stuff, or correctly implemented stuff? ;)

Since RunKeeper discounted it's Pro version (it's free for all of January - I am not affiliated, I promise) a lot of us at work have started competing against each other.

Personal bests!

This is my first real notable encounter of peer and game theory, and it's having great results. I can honestly say that I now enjoy working out, thinking about working out, and strangely, analysing my workouts.

Is this project for one of your courses? If so, "finishing in time" would be a great feature to have. Bear in mind that GitHub uses Git to store the code; they didn't need to create a custom database and synchronization mechanism.

Ahh, the famous Conway's Game of Life. Unfortunately since I've interacted with this type of cellular automata so much, this emblem speaks "Game of Life" to me more than it does "Hacker".

Immaculate Reception, or, A MobileMe Mystery
I don't get it (maybe because English is not my native language). I've always thought that "I consider X" means that someone does express an opinion, and not a fact. Am I missing something?
I think we're getting a bit hung up on semantics. It happens all the time if you mean "accidental" in the sense that companies don't usually say "Hey! Screw the GPL! Let's pirate GPLed software!" The Software Freedom Law Center says:

"As we have worked to bring individual companies into compliance, we have encountered numerous violations resulting from preventable problems such as inadequate attention to licensing of upstream software, misconceptions about the GPL’s terms, and poor communication between software developers and their management."

http://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/compliance-gui...

On the other hand, if you mean "accidental" in the sense of some programmer saying "Honestly, I didn't mean to call that GPLed code. My finger must have slipped!" ... then I hope I don't have to point out that isn't realistic.
I've worked in places like this. I am very easily distractible by noise, but I can usually ignore people walking around me, so for heads-down productivity, headphones or earplugs for me are a must. However, I've always had headphones even in standard cubicle/office environment where it's supposedly quiet and easy to concentrate and get work done. If you find the visual aspect of people coming-ang-going distracting, you might have an issue.

For sitting down and hashing something out with your co-founders, these places are great - conference rooms and whiteboards are usually very available, and that guy across from you who usually has headphones on might actually turn out to be a MySQL expert who can answer a very obscure question in 15 seconds.

It is if you invest in Rio Tinto and BHP. The main tradeoff is that the Australian market is regulated by officials are probably less likely to be corrupt. Plus, if you're not Australian, a different currency risk profile.

User Story Mapping Technique
Ask HN: Adding mention features or not for my startup
I am on process creation local startups. The service is "question & answer" site.I plan to implement mention features such as twitter. The mention is uses the real username ex: @username. But I also want to keep user to use real name as seen on quora. While to implement @mention features using real names like quora I think is very difficult, because we have to check the user's id or slug on the server first. Moreover, when applied in mobile application it will make application running slowly. Are there any suggestions what approach should I do?
Which basically says do anything you want with it (and depending if there is a third term, you may not use my name to advertise it)
Man I love working out. Actually, I don’t. Anyone who tells you that working out is awesome is probably trying to sell you something. Most of the time I spend in the gym is suffering and generally unpleasant

Really? For me the unpleasantness is a fraction of the total time I spend there (pretty much all concentrated in coming out of the hole on the last set), and there's a definite pleasant component as well (any time I do squats after being away for the gym for more than a few days, I come away bouncing up and down, I suddenly feel so good)
"literally zero chance"? Come on now...

I've only worked on ~10 paid development gigs and one of the first ones was a pharma research company who hired my team to create an interface for a truckload of sensitive data after nothing more than a phone call and a quick NDA. This pattern has continued in a few subsequent projects, often with no NDA or contract whatsoever.

A great many companies stop caring about privacy the second they can make or save a few bucks, questionable legality or ethics notwithstanding one bit. Businesses in general are fortunate that MOST software engineers seem to be honest and good people, because they regularly hand over the keys to the castle, often without even realizing it or considering the potential implications at all, and to be honest I'm actually quite glad it works this way. For whatever reason, we as a profession have apparently been deemed highly trustworthy, and I much prefer this situation with all its risks to a world of bulletproof firewalls and bureaucratic red tape.
The interesting detail I read somewhere else that is not mentioned in the article is the source of the cool idea at the core of this. If you watched the Planet Earth series (or saw any of the promos that were run 24x7 on the various Discovery channels) there were some very, very cool shots of sharks jumping out of the water while catching seals. To make these shots the filmmakers had to invent a new camera technique because it was too difficult to try to time the shot to get what they wanted. The digital cameras were attached to what was essentially a big ring buffer and were constantly running. When a shark breached the guy on the camera would press a button and the buffer (which had the previous X seconds in it already) would dump and new data would start going to disk to complete the shot.

The article is also using an extremely broad definition of the labor force: anyone over the age of 16. That definition can be useful for some demographic calculations, but I don't think it supports the conclusions being drawn here. In addition to your categories, it includes millions of retirees.
I wasn't trying to say that you were being disrespectful. I was just saying that the way I interpreted it was logically inconsistent. It came off that you were saying "DHH isn't admitting that there might be a downside to his plan. He needs to provide a balanced argument. Oh, and by the way he's completely wrong about everything too."

Whereas after reading this post (and rereading the last one), it sounds like you might have meant to say "DHH isn't admitting that there might be a downside to his plan. He needs to provide a balanced argument. For example, here's one potential hole that I see" which is a reasonable thing to say. Remember, we humans are dumb animals who are prone to completely misinterpreting your argument. Sometimes you have to beat a dead horse to make your point. :-)

ya, really, i would NOT exercise if it weren't for the endorphin, metabolic & aesthetic benefits.
There's a very big distinction between saying "I consider X harmful" and "X [is] considered harmful". In the former, it's very clear that you're expressing your own opinion. In the latter, it's implied that your opinion is "the" opinion, and that X is considered harmful by people in general, not just by you.

(At least, that's how I've always read it. I suppose one could argue that "X considered harmful" actually should be read "X [is] considered harmful [by me]" or maybe "X [should be] considered harmful", but I don't think either of those interpretations are obvious.)
In America it's common for one company or landlord to manage an entire building. In Australia that's extremely rare. In NYC for example, you have co-op buildings, which is a new concept to me. Australia really has no equivalent. Pretty much all apartments in Australia are "condos" in American nomenclature (it's not a word Australians use).

Real estate agents list properties for rent, typically in their windows, on their website, in the newspaper and/or on one or both of the big property websites (RealEstate.com.au and domain.com.au). That's one thing I like: when looking for a rental you only really need to check those two sites.

It's unusual to put a "for rent" (or "for lease") sign up. "For sale" sure.

You can rent something directly from the owner but it's reasonably unusual. Even if the owner finds a tenant they'll typically use a real estate agent to manage the property (do inspections, organize maintenance, take the rent and so on).

So anyway, the lack of rental signs doesn't mean anything. In my experience you only see them in front of larger buildings on the lower end of the economic scale.
Too many fall into the latter unfortunately.

The desire to make money is fine. It's when it becomes a higher priority than basic morality/decency that it becomes something contemptible.
laughing is evil
I said up front that I hoped you've reviewed your hiring process with your legal counsel. That should have been pretty clear to you that I'm not providing you any legal advice. I also noted that I was commenting on your brief description of the process.

You now update to say you pay your "freelancers" however in your first post you say you take your accountants advice on paying as an employee or a contractor. Those are two extremely different things and back dating employment (via pay as an employee during the trial period) would have the end result of your company incurring liability for failing to complete employment paperwork in a timely manner among other things. You could also open yourself to liability for discrimination and other issues if you tried to pay someone as an employee, started the hiring paperwork and then found out the individual did not have valid work authorization.

Just to say it one more time so there's no confusion. This is not legal advice. Anyone considering anything in the content of this message or implementing the parent posters hiring process should speak to legal counsel before doing so.
