On this day in 2021, not only will there be major games on sale, but at least one of them will be in either the Starcraft, Worldcraft or Diablo franchises. While WOW might be completely subscription based, I reject outright the idea that I won't be able to go into a store, pick up a copy of SCIII (or SCIV) and quaintly zerg rush my fellow HNers.

I think they would be missing out on a huge opportunity in not creating the best app ecosystem possible. Sure there are huge network effects now but eventually something will popup as a viable alternative with a much better app system which will drain a large amount of developers that otherwise would have been working on the Facebook platform.
Point about GlusterFS. I've used it for the past 5 years and found out that its reliable, reasonably well updated, and very flexible.

However, you desperately need a fast network to take advantage of it even in a small sized cluster (N < 10). In a midsized cluster, latency will kill you from all angles unless you have very low throughput.

Lastly, do not rely on their NUMFA translator. If you need sharding then do it yourself. Also striping a large file system with many small files will make it slower rather than faster because of seek locality.

I've managed to hack out a system that works without maintenance now for 1 year plus, but if I had to do it again I'd go in with a lot of testing and an eye to write my own translator or at least highly customize one that they ship with.

Their code is clean. Its a saving grace.

My problem with MogileFS is that it has too many moving parts.

For what it does, I feel like I could cobble something like it together in a month or so using any distributed NoSQL database to store metadata and a Nginx plugin for Webdav.
But wouldn't you apply some of those refactorings in other languages too? Movings methods, refactoring out inner classes, removing/adding parameters to methods and constructors etc. It all adds up if the language has good support in your IDE.

I'm not a power user of vim, but perhaps there are some kind of extensions for some of these things there?

I think you misinterpreted the sentence you quoted -- cluster headaches can be a common form of chronic headache, whilst being rare in the general population. That is, people suffering from chronic headaches are rare in the general population but those who are, are likely suffering from cluster headaches.

I discussed this with a friend who is a lawyer here in NYC.

His paraphrased comments:

- I use a Mac, and whenever I click on the link, Safari automatically saves PDFs into my download folder. So I always know where to look. In other situations where I haven't been on my Mac, I've gone through my browser's cache to find the PDF.

- If someone does forget, I can make sure they remember using non-technical ways, that result in no recurring billing: "If you don't save it, you buy bagels for the office for the next week".

- If we make it past the first two points, the amount of money we receive [in fees] is usually significant, so paying $30-50 one-time to re-download a large filing is minor in the grand scheme of things.

"Buying a car or a house in cash is showoff-y"

When did buying a car in cash become showoff-y? My parents and grandparents always paid cash for their cars, because it's a depreciating asset and taking out a loan for it is just throwing money away. I didn't buy a car until I could afford it in cash - and when I did, that's when I realized this wasn't terribly typical, as the dealership kinda looked at me funny and lamented that they couldn't give me any further discounts (possibly because they were already selling it to me for like $400 under dealer price).
Here's a Perl implementation:

use strict; use warnings;
use List::Util qw(reduce);
use File::Slurp qw(read_file);

sub word_count {
reduce { $a->{$b}++; $a } {},
map { split(/\W+/) }
map { lc read_file $_ } @_;
}

I'm seriously amused by your last paragraph. It actually made me smile, because, despite explaining precisely why I'm doing this kind of stuff, you're still looking for the "angle", and that's the best example of why I find this attitude so difficult to communicate in an effective way to so many other people (and why I've all but given up at it).

Yes, I am now living in a place with lower rent than I might be otherwise, but the rent is not lower than the total amount of money and time I have put into it; yes, the landlords might write an amazing letter of recommendation, but my experience so far has been that it's nearly impossible to wrest any kind of letter out of a landlord, no matter how good your relationship.

As far as capitalism goes ... y'know, I don't dislike it, but I don't think it's an answer to everyone's needs, either. In order to work, capitalism requires that everything have a measurable, monetary value, and that most people agree on that value. Talk about the Mona Lisa to a capitalist, and the capitalist will tell you that whatever is spent on insuring and protecting the Mona Lisa is representative of its value; talk about the Mona Lisa to an art expert, and they'll use a term that is utterly foreign to a capitalist: "priceless".

If people had money to spend at capitalist parks, and capitalist parks realized that they could rent space to vendors (and make some money too), then capitalist vendors would move in and compete for the same spaces, and discerning customers would visit the best vendors, and everyone would be happy! ...except, the story doesn't end there, because eventually the capitalist park realizes that it has developed more value in its space by drawing people to a park where there's great food, so they raise the fees on the vendors, and the vendors realize that they can make more money by advertising more aggressively, or, better yet, by opening up side-businesses and operating those in the same park also ... eventually, this system corrupts itself and the park is no longer a park or the people can no longer afford to go there or any of a number of outcomes. For real world examples, look no further than the article that spawned this whole thread, or the huge number of empty commercial spaces that are still asking for ridiculous rents.

So, I am skeptical of capitalism's ability to be anything more than a better economic model than anything else that's currently viable.

And, the house does belong to the community, in a way, because it's a part of it, and it belongs to me, in a way, because I live in it.

I think when I said "value", I was thinking of something different than what you were when you read it.

I think buying a car on credit may be an American thing - at least I don't know of anyone who has bought a car on credit. It seems like an absurd waste of money to do so - why not just buy a secondhand car you can afford outright?
As a counter argument, consider DARPA. They do important R&D that no one else do. (As far as we know; it is a relatively open process).

You could make quite a good argument that military, academic and industrial research are partly orthogonal; they complement each others.

But I can agree that to waste money and really build the military equipment is mostly a waste of money. :-)
At a minimum, if you are concerned with a huge tax liability, exercise ONE option. And tell everyone else in your situation to do the same.

It will cost you less than $200, and it will be very annoying to Skype. It takes the same amount of paperwork and lawyer time.
I would think that LulzSec and Anon's membership have a high degree of intersection...
I disagree - nobody ever gave up email.
Business leasing is usually longer-term (often 10 years) and any rent increases are negotiated. The fun starts when the lease is up for renewal:

- Landlords can refuse to renew it. I know of cases where the landlord changes and the new landlord decides not to continue the lease. When the business owners leave, the landlord restarts the same business in that location - hires his cousins to run shop. Often the businesses, despite being profitable (a lot of small businesses are just ramen-profitable) can not afford to move out so they leave everything behind.

- Landlord wants a lot more rent to reflect market conditions. This increases fixed costs, which make the business harder to run, and much more unattractive to potential buyers.

Most landlords want the businesses who rent from them to succeed and try to be reasonable with their demands because they prefer to have a stable cash-flow from their investments.
I don't think it is academic at all - CS is pretty much irrelevant to most programming jobs in the same way that theoretical physics is irrelevant to a plumber or electrician (both very skilled jobs) - it's not that the subject is inapplicable, it's just not very useful.

Note that I did a CS degree and have been lucky to have jobs that built upon that foundation (in order: research, start-ups, industry) - if you want to do fundamentally technically difficult stuff then a CS or engineering degree may help, but that is the exception not the rule.
Personally, I think zombie movies reflect 'fear of societal collapse' more than 'fear over the absence of technology'. (The absence of technology is certainly part of a societal collapse, but societal collapse is more than just the absence of technology.)

Sudden, unpredictable, uncontrollable events - large stock market fluctuations, 9/11, the housing crisis, almost certainly the upcoming sovereign debt crisis - have made people very uneasy.

Zombie movies give people an opportunity to think about what they'd do in a societal breakdown, reassuring them on some level - since unlike a sovereign debt crisis, the zombie apocalypse isn't going to happen. Thinking about barricading the windows and aiming for the head is fun; thinking about total market failure is horrifying.

There's also a certain segment of the population, the underclass that's being left behind, who sees nothing in our society for them and would love a hard reset. For them, zombie movies feed into happy fantasies about their rugged gun-toting individualism. (The hero-protagonist in a zombie movie is never, say, a stockbroker from New York.)
I'm fairly certain this is running against Federal Reserve policies (yes, they do IT-related audits from time to time). And if your bank customer is a public company, this runs against Sarbanes-Oxley (protecting revenue chain; separation of development, UAT, and production environments; routine vulnerability assessments; and many more things...)

While you're not the actual bank, your company is probably providing a piece of paper saying they're complying with the requirements the bank has provided (if they indeed have provided them).

So, assuming something evil does happen...

- Customer complains to state consumer agency

- State consumer agency refers to state banking agency

- State banking agency follows up with bank

- $bank says we have "a letter of compliance/best practices/whatever" from $company.

- State banking agency focuses on the information exchanged between $bank and $company, to determine which party was negligent, and maybe even refers case to state attorney general.

- The underwriter of your errors and omissions insurance is now royally pissed, and is also crawling through your e-mails and such to determine how much liability they have based on your policy.

I'm sure I've left out a few things, but basically, this is a st storm waiting to happen. If management doesn't care about losing the entire company, and possibly going to jail, I dunno.

And if you want, replace state consumer agency with FTC, and state banking agency with Federal Reserve.

A really strange change you might not have noticed: you searched for hacker news and got "About 94,200,000 results". I did the same thing and got "About 20,300,000 results". What's up with that?

Ask HN: could we capture and mine Apophis?
The asteroid 99942 Apophis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis ) will be passing close to Earth (within geosynchronous orbit) in 2029 and 2036. Its mass is estimated at 2.7x10^10kg.

If it was a typical nickel-iron asteroid, it could contain between 5% to 30% nickel. Assuming the lowest value - 5% - then it would contain US$1,637,550,000 worth of nickel at current prices. The remaining 95% mass in iron would be worth US$8,208,000,000.

I wonder what would be entailed in getting Apophis to enter a low orbit, such that it could be conveniently 'mined'? I imagine something like a first mission in 2029 to set up for the capture, perhaps planting propulsion units etc. Then upon the return in 2036, it could be 'nudged' into the appropriate orbit.

Is this even feasible?
Word's ribbon is a pretty good attempt at hiding the complexities of the program. I think that approach is better than a program which is always changing.
Compared to the US, loser-pays would also cut cown the number of lawsuits because plaintiffs would think twice or thrice before suing. That would definitely be a good thing: a court is an awfully frictional and expensive way to settle disputes and should rightly be reserved to the most pressing ones that seem to warrant the corresponding financial investments. Anything that can be settled outside of courts should be.
You just discovered one of the great secrets of VC preference and crazy valuations. If the startup guarantees to pay me back my investement plus some, then I don't care to announce that I invest at a valuation of $10B. In agreeing to such a high (and flashy) valuation, I give up on extra upside, but if my goal is 2X, then I don't actually care.
DMT, which is a natural substance similar to serotonin (and also in the human body)

What does the similarity to serotonin have to say in favor of the drug?

If you want to boost your serotonin levels, it's trivial to do so directly by taking 5-HTP, St. John's Wort, or tryptophan supplements, all of which you can get at your local pharmacy without a prescription.

And be cautious: excess serotonin in the human body is thought to be bad for heart health, which is why supplements like 5-HTP are sometimes prescribed with Carbidopa to slow the 5-HTP -> serotonin transition outside of the brain (Carbidopa doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier, so 5-HTP -> serotonin is unchecked within the brain, whereas it's slowed outside of it), so not as much serotonin ends up in your bloodstream. I have no idea if DMT has similar heart-unfriendly properties to serotonin, but the point is, saying that it's similar chemically and that the substance exists in our body doesn't necessarily mean it's a great thing to take. Our bodies are careful balances of thousands of different chemicals, and some of them are only there in trace amounts, it can absolutely be dangerous to throw the balance out of whack (though if I had to guess, in DMT's case a couple doses is probably not such a problem).

I'm not necessarily knocking recreational drugs: I've dabbled and enjoyed, but chemical similarity is not a good enough reason to assume that something is either safe, effective, or in any way good for you - there are many compounds that are extremely close to things that we find in our bodies that are very dangerous.

...which is exactly why we need more legitimate studies on these things, IMO. I'm glad that the tide is starting to shift on this, we should know a lot more about the potential benefits and risks of all the substances that people ingest, whether they typically ingest them for fun, or for health.

The fact that a user goes out of the way to broadcast that they're walking away from the service is a testament to how bad ass it truly was for them.

Most (all?) of us developers / product guys fight with feature creep. I'm glad 37signals is there to remind us, by example, that it's OK for a software business to focus on a specific solution, sans bloat. There are users that will appreciate your vision - and gladly pay.
