Yup, I was confused because the real issue is that the door must be openable without power, and they must have a solution to that regardless of any questions about where the hood lever is.

They should just leave the hood lever inside the car; the door must be openable manually for a dozen other reasons.

If the large corporation is such a bureaucracy, a start-up somewhere will come eat their lunch. The theory of natural market monopolies is a historical fallacy.

Thank you for the candid feedback. We appreciate it.

I cannot argue with your sense of aesthetics or taste, but I will attempt to explain why we film in this manner.

We film documentary style, in a manner pioneered by legendary documentary filmmaker Errol Morris, where the interviewer is behind the camera and the subject is in front of the camera telling his story.

The reason we chose to film founder stories documentary style is that we want to focus solely on the founder, not on the interviewer.

We recognize that most interviews have an interviewer in the film, but we think this can distract from the story.

FounderLY is an open source media project. Our mission is to showcase authentic founders with no distractions. We are creating an online library of founder stories freely available to anyone.

You could think of us as a cultural repository of founder stories. Thus we want our interviews to be timeless and not associated with anyone but the founder.

Prior to launching FounderLY, we had never filmed anyone in our lives. We had to hack our way through the process and hack social networks to get access to founders.

Resource and time constraints forced us to think hard about what we were trying to capture on film. With only a $200 camera and no filming experience, we determined that filming documentary style yields the best picture and sound quality.

We hope our method of storytelling contributes a new perspective of showcasing the individuals forging this renaissance in entrepreneurship.

I hope this explains our approach to filmmaking.

We appreciate you taking the time to watch our stories.

Apple has two licenses down, two to go for cloud music service
tl;dr version:

Calories derived from fat vs protein vs carbohydrates have different inefficiencies in converting them from their theoretical caloric value to their useful work in the body.

Fat is the most efficient with a loss of just @ 2-3%, carbs are at 6-8%, protein 25-30%. [edit Most of] this loss is in the form of heat.

It was not mentioned why this excess heat would not simply be offset by the body avoiding the normal processes it takes to maintain body temperature. Presumably the body generates enough heat as a by-product at room temperature and thus there is nothing the body can back off of to make use of the waste heat described above.

Interesting - we use F5 load balancers for SSL offload, as do a huge percentage of the interwebs. If F5 didn't support False Start, I suspect a good deal more than 0.4% of the SSL websites would be affected.

> THe employer still has a lot of power. You can be fired at a moment's notice and be forced into poverty. That's waaaaaay more power than a union has!

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but is this just a US thing? It seems that you can be let go (from a permanent position; we'll not talk about contractors/casuals) very easily in the US, without much reasoning.

To contrast, here in Australia, a part-time/full-time employee needs to be formally warned (and these need to be documented) three times before being 'fired', and there are many cases where Fair Work (a government body) has helped an employee take an employer to court in cases where the documentation was insufficient.

Of course, that's a very high-level overview, but the message I constantly get is that you can be fired for really simple reasons in the US, without much recourse (lest you want to take it on yourself).

ELB is well suited towards web traffic versus general TCP load balancing as you could accomplish with Pound, or HAProxy.

I took my application programming baby steps in VB6, even though I knew C at that time, but for windows programming it was a lot easier to start in VB than the horrifying C windows sdk(this was before the (CLR and C#). I was amazed at the rapidity of development. I have come to learn many more languages and many more paradigms since then, and as much as I would like to hate it, there are certain quirky yet fond memories associated with it. Not to mention all the VBA hacks I did with it in the past.
Yea thats what I meant by 'simple code update'. All the vendors have long since put out fixes.

Great, free ebook by Stephen Ferg. Well-written, conversational style.
As someone who's worked retail and fast food, I think those types of locations are past-due for some serious labor effort. Those kinds of jobs have atrocious pay and - from what I could tell - required working overtime to pay one's bills (supposing you were living on under 12K/year) if you weren't a supervisor.

Personally, I think if you work (around) 40 hours per week, you should be paid a living wage. That's going to vary based on location, but you shouldn't have to work more than 50 hours per week just to pay your (uber-frugal) bills.

Well, that's my opinion on the matter.

14 Key Points in Computer Development Since 1940
Unions depend on threats of violence or specialized legal action

EMPLOYMENT depends on threats of poverty! If you don't work, you might fucking die. Unions depend on threats of strikes and other actions, but they don't depend on violence.
One can also see many parallels between bands and startups. Both is working on getting 'signed'. Both start small and usually low budget. Both relies on creating stuff to make their way. Both has to struggle with small group issues and drama. So on and so forth.
> You can be fired at a moment's notice and be forced into poverty

How the hell does an employer force someone into poverty? What country do you live in where an employer can just take the employee's savings, or prevent them from getting another job? Does your government not provide unemployment benefits? I don't want to move there.

Savings? You must come from a privileged background! Some of us have to build our savings from scratch and take out mass loans just to go to school. We're in debt in our first few years of employment, so yes, the alternative to working for a crappy wage is poverty.

Unemployment benefits only apply once you've put some of your money into it.

Taking another job? Really? So fighting for an 8-hour day was basically a useless fight because wages can be driven so low?

You're no longer waiting for both sides to confirm (cryptographically) that they received the same handshake packets. A special mechanism (whitelisted ciphersuites) has to be introduced to ensure that a downgrader adversary can't trick a client into coughing up weakly-encrypted application data by mucking with the handshake.
I'm against that as well. I believe that if you're in a union and the union has stopped working for you, you should stop working for the union and form a new one or go it alone.

The only reason that kind of thing happens is because the unions overreach and abuse their power and have stopped listening to the worker.

>"a good way to get into shape and stay that way."

I started refereeing soccer this past year. The emphasis placed upon on field performance was sufficient substitute for competition and because of the many levels at which the game is played, there have been ample opportunities at an appropriate level as my fitness has improved. Most importantly, as I have received progressively more competitive assignments it has allowed me to reframe exercise (which connotates a certain amount of drudgery in my mind) to training. The fact that refereeing pays for the shoes it requires and doesn't require space in the house beyond that required for a gymbag, is a plus as well.

Ask HN: Writing XML Utility - Any Feature Ideas?
I'm writing a little utility that will be useful to me day-to-day and was trying to think about more features that I could incorporate. I plan on pushing it open source to github and sticking it online for free somewhere.

We process a lot of xml file catalogs day to day and I wanted a utility for breaking down huge files into their structure and xsd to easily look through and see what nodes there are, what associated attributes are, etc.

Outside of that, I can't think of too many features to add, but if anyone has ideas, let me know.

I plan on eventually building a visual parser for breaking down the xml files and picking nodes and outputting xml from one schema to your required schema.

Short answer: Amazon does not own your apps.

Long answer: Amazon does have a right to continue selling/distributing any apps you have provided to it for the duration of the "Term".

So, this all depends on how the "Term" is defined in the developer agreement.

This is how it's supposed to work in America, there are certain reasons why I can't fire you; like race. But I can fire you for anything else. But in reality this only holds true at smaller firms. At larger firms, they still need to document, because if I fire you for some random reason (which is legal) you can sue me saying that I really fired you for an illegal reason

This really only happens at larger firms, 'cause you could sue me, but you wouldn't get enough money out of the deal to properly pay your lawyer.

You're overlooking health and safety which is still a very legitimate concern. In laissez-faire societies, mine workers die like flies. China (quite ironically as an apparently worker loving state) takes such an attitude and thousands of coal miners die each year. In Australia, where far more coal is mined, there have been no deaths this year. I wouldn't claim it's just the union influence that makes the difference as there's much more automation here for one thing. But to discount it as a factor is naive.

That's not true. A wrongful termination suit can be brought against any employer. Employment law is handled on a state by state basis. In most states, once an employee has worked for someone for 90 days, termination without documentation of attempted intervention or sufficient transgression represents sufficient ground for the terminated employee to be reinstated or compensated for damages. Small businesses tend to be less formal about handling employee termination because employees of small businesses are less likely to seek remuneration for wrongful termination. Also, wrongful termination suits can be rather large and generally require very little legal work on the plaintiff's part so most law firms pick up the case for no fee and instead a percentage cut of the settlement.
