It will depend a bit on if you are visiting San Francisco or Silion Valley. They are not really the same place and in fact are 20-50 miles from each other. You could probably do SF on less than $350/day and SV on less than $250/day. if you were extremely economical, reduce those by $50-100.

It's a good story. From a naive distance (the only perspective I have to offer), coal mining is equal parts romantic and disgusting. We can worry all we want about sitting at a desk all day long, but our life expectancy has to be considerably better than a coal miners.

I do wonder if such stories become less likely (more difficult) over time. Ever watch the movie The Aviator? Average movie, but what struck me in that movie was that you had someone who knew nothing/little about planes, learn to fly, build planes and build an empire on them. Try to do that today. The cost of entry, the licensing, the vastness of knowledge..forget about it. You could probably spend your entire life learning about a single little widget.

Software is crossing that same chasm. Simple "i could have done that" ideas aren't as frequent as they used to be (although mobile computing has rejuvenated this many times over). Building software is becoming increasingly complicated. You can't beat facebook without being better than facebook, you can't build source hosting without beating github. You can't build a mobile phone without copy and paste (well...at least, you can't really sell one...).

Not only that, they have employed a security-by-obscurity strategy:

RSA Security Chairman Art Coviello said that the reason RSA had not disclosed the full extent of the vulnerability because doing so would have revealed to the hackers how to perform further attacks.
Nope. Unless it's an open platform.

Ask yourself if your business and interest would exist if the smartphones didn't exist. Then assume that it doesn't exist tomorrow because someone decided that a license is changed, decided that they didn't want to approve your app or decide to stamp on your turf. Your world will collapse.

Part of business is planning and resilience. It's something most Apple developers have not realised yet which is why so many of them are going to get canned by Apple over the next few years. This is purely down to being unrealistic, inexperienced and cash hungry.

The whole smartphone/cloud platform thing going on at the moment is a seriously harmful process both for business (in the long term) and computing as a whole. It seems to be based wholly on vendor profiteering and quick wins rather than genuine progress.

Strangely enough, this isn't actually true! Ok, so it is true that if you were to go through one by one and label some real numbers with natural number, you would never run out. But the interesting thing comes when you start with the assumption that you have labelled every real number with a natural number. Turns out there's always some left over...

There is a famous proof about this by Georg Cantor:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantors_diagonal_argument
The story is not as improbable as it sounds at first. To be clear, he was not a coal miner, but an electrician in a coal mine. He said he started work at 6am, but ended at 1pm. This is not too bad actually. In communist Romania, miners were actually one of the envied professions: high salaries and bonuses, feeling of camaraderie, celebrated as heroes of communism, early retirement (with a relatively large lump sum in the end). Mining was of course very dangerous and demanding work, but as an electrician in a mine, one would get most of the benefits without most of the dangers.

Electrician's workshops, as any workshop during communism, really, were hotbeds of what we would call today hacking. With low quality equipment but plenty of raw material, people would use their inventiveness to produce whatever the work required and whatever they or their extended families could use at home. Also they would fix tv's, radios, make antennas, etc. The mindset formed in this way is not too far from a programmer's mindset. (Remember, that at the time, there weren't too many programmers, even in the West.) Also, I've seen some very elaborate devices for grilling steaks and sausages (still in operation today) that people made in their free time at work some 30 years ago in some machine factory. As the communist economy was tanking, people could pretty much do whatever they wanted at work. Some people developed skills they could later use after the change of regime, others turned to alcohol out of boredom, some did both.

Just to add some background... Otherwise very nice story and kudos to Mircea.

ADD:
With the risk of idealising communism, there is another benefit many people got from it, and that is a healthy dose of cynicism and skepticism. Seeing all the mechanisms of state propaganda, many people came out of it with a well tuned bullshit-detector, easily seeing through the relatively milder propaganda of advertising, political campaigns, media, etc. The dark side is that a significant portion of that generation have become conspiracy theorists.
Well the original article is ostensibly about ReST. So when you claimed that Github did some other things in a "non-standard" way I assumed you were referring to ReST.
I don't know why the link points to the comment not to the beginning of article, but here is a small summarization:

Mark wants that all providers of components (he call them upstream providers, like for example MySQL, Mozilla) become a more powerful entities, so that their output will be of higher quality and looks for ways how it can be achieved.

He also says that now the burden to decide how components will work is on distributions, like Canonical and Red Hat and it stifles innovation.
Ask HN: What is the difference between a startup and a small business?
I asked this question on one of the stackexchange sites. Here's the text of the question itself:

I've had a conversation with some friends recently on the differences between a startup and a small business. One of my friends said that a startup in a brand new company, which aims to scale fast and become a large company, while a small business stays small and doesn't plan to scale. Examples for this definition of a startup may be Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple in their early days.

From what I read online, no one makes this distinction. What do you think - do you make a difference between a startup and a small business?

I'm very curious about the different opinions in the hacker news community.

Exactly. The important part is on the "video driver" part.

People have asked us to implement DRM in VLC since a long time, over and over. At the end it is impossible, because when an code interface is know, you can always switch one part and dump the stream; the part being a filter, a video renderer or just a video driver.

This is why HDCP was implemented (and failed, btw) to have a chain of trust.
Digging around, I found that the author used the JSON gem, relying on to_json taking an optional generator arg. But, yajl-ruby and ActiveSupport define to_json themselves without that, leading to breakage. Those, and the fix for his project[1], are all on GitHub.

The author claims most Ruby programmers are monkey-patching and causing these problems. That's almost right: they were. But by and large, they know better now, and would happily replace it with better code, if they could just find it and fix it: that's the real problem.

The author could help by, say, logging an issue, or forking and pull requesting a fix. I checked GitHub; his ID, bcoe, doesn't show in the issues, nor in the pull requests of yajl-ruby's GitHub page[2].

I'm not saying he must do this for every problem with every open-source project he happens across, but even one contribution helps more than this steam-venting blog post.

Turning off the stylesheet on every page as I browse the web would be a hassle; much better to change a setting once and never have to worry about it again. About the only pages I've found that aren't improved by enforcing a sensible font-choice are pages designed to showcase CSS3 font embedding - and those are pretty rare.

I do wish browsers would have a per-host "allow custom fonts" setting, alongside the tradition per-host "allow images" and "allow cookies" settings. With the potential security implications of downloadable fonts, it seems only sensible - but nobody seems interested in implementing such a thing. :(

It's always the new emerging discoveries that are easier to get into. This is why software is crossing the chasm- it is leaving/has left the new emergent status.

Bioengineering, purported to be the next wave, seems to be continuing this tradition, though not entirely dirt cheap to enter.
In their "defense", keeping it secret might have had more to do with saving their public image than with any belief that it was actually better security.
I run Debian Squeeze on the desktop because I have jobs I want that desktop to do for me, without my having to worry about it unexpectedly not being able to do them.

However, I treat Squeeze more as a base to build on than as a complete system. For instance, I work with Ruby via rvm, not native, and use a Firefox Nightly build. In that sense it makes a rock-solid foundation: anything that I'm not responsible for, works. Anything I am responsible for is my call, and can't break the underlying system unless I try quite hard.

Has Apple finally arrived in 1984?
In 1984, Apple said: with the Macintosh we will see, that 1984 will not be like "1984".

Yesterday they announced the iCloud with many services whose main purpose is to move the digital hub from our computers at home to Apples server farms. Everything: contacts, mails, music, images, documents, spreadsheets, backups.

Think of how many talented developers are working on code that cross-relates data (we had threads about this recently). Today for efficient marketing. Tomorrow for whatever smart people come up with.

Is this the beginning of "1984"? Or is this just a cultural thing: americans see a new service that solves a problem, think it is great an use it. Europeans see it is free and think: wait a minute, why is it free? What's behind?

What does everybody think?

No, we're saying that suggesting that this is something that only Apple do is wrong - most large software companies do it.
If everyone believed what you are saying then nothing would get built. It's easy to think creating/inventing things was so much easier back then. Think of how famous I could be if I lived hundreds of years ago. I could easily invent the light bulb, radio, motors, computers. Hell kids today are building these things right! The concepts are so simple, everything was up for grabs back then!

Only they weren't. As vain as we want to be the truth is we haven't reached any kind of technological limit. Creating stuff is as hard as it always was. Hard.

The facebook thing is a bad one. It's been mentioned time and time again that Zuck could have said the same about myspace...

Github also a bad one. They are a TINY. Github is awesome, I love them, but they are TINY. I think ruby and javascript are the most popular languages on github. Yet php is the most popular language on the internet. Point being, github is tiny, HN is tiny, Rails is tiny.

In short, and as a rule with all scripts, load scripts asynchronously / non-blocking when possible, including Google +1.

g = d.createElement(t),
s = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];
g.async = true;
g.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';

Your friend is pretty close; pg has said before that "scalability" is one of the defining characteristics of a startup. They don't necessarily have to become a large company, but, if a startup wants investment, they have to show some chance of scaling quickly. (At which point they get bought, or raise more funding, or something.)

HN in general isn't very interested in small businesses. Unfortunately.

I think the term startup is in fact somewhat misleading, because in many cases venture capitalists that want to invest in these organisations want them to have a full business plan and evidence of customers / market leverage. Obviously it makes sense for them to ask for these things, but to me it seems odd to call an organisation with a long term plan and often a number of employees a 'startup'. Organisations that are truly starting up are in much earlier stages of development, trying to decide if there is a market for a particular product and trying to fit this market and generate interest.

But the definition you give of a startup seems to be the current interpretation that many people would have.

Coming from the idea of "utility computing" and Grid, I always found the "cloud" hype interesting and now it is fascinating how Apple has claimed it.

This is "storing your data somewhere/anywhere in the cloud/grid" vs. "storing your data on Apple's servers and let's just call that cloud".

Genius marketing non-the-less, they took a vague but popular term and just claimed it and put a (their) face on it.
