For those downvoting this comment, why?

Do you disagree that nations are basically large families? Am I in the wrong to want to hypothetically seek out my biological family or nation of origin?

Or, do you disagree with my viewpoint and want me to shut up?
I started out with a 100k in savings from consulting - but the bad habits aren't just personal finance. It's a big leap to jump from selling time for money to investing time for future potential.
I think people are confused by this pricing because you get so much on the free package.

Good luck with this. It is very useful. Email collection seems like a nice feature. Just remember how hard it is to get people to pull out there credit cards.
But in this case, punish whom? Vargas? He was 12 when all this happened, had no say in the matter, and didn't really know what was going on until he turned 16. What should he have done then? Turned himself in as an illegal immigrant?
Seriously! This guy would probably kick a$$ in the Philippines.
Lytro Launches to Transform Photography with $50M in Venture Funds
This is everything I had wished Gusto would've been. The big difference I see that makes this more attractive than Gusto is A) syntax coloring and B) prettier UI.Sure, function should top form but honestly, I'm guilty of using less feature filled apps because of a prettier/more intuitive interface.
I for one am not ready to jump ship however because I'm not sure code editors for iPad are all that useful. I bought Gusto thinking I'd be doing some minor site editing on the go for clients that call with an emergency or I'd start a few weekend projects on the thing while watching a movie at home but the reality is that I find I need a fully functional computer to code. I want to reference other websites, edit image files, and even manage file structures so then I get frustrated that I can only straight up code with what I have on the iPad and give up. Sure, people can always start on the iPad and move to their desktop later but somehow the idea of mobile coding is always prettier than the reality.

The other problem is that the iPad keyboard takes up a lot of screen real estate. Carrying the Bluetooth keyboard makes things a bit less mobile so I just won't do it. I want to reference previously written code without having to scroll constantly. I also wonder how this app handles line breaks. In Gusto the lines seem to go on forever so there's vertical AND horizontal scrolling nightmares. Obviously, Koder can't help how the on screen keyboard blocks a lot of space so we can't fault the app maker there. Actually, I don't want to fault them at all. This looks great.

Nevertheless I'm really interested to see if maybe this app can turn things around for me. I'm going to wait and see if Gusto is going to fix the horizontal scrolling and syntax highlighting issue (or if it at least plans to). If they don't then I'll skip a day's worth of coffee and buy this app. It looks like they got this thing right from the start from what I see in the video. I'm excited.
This is a good point, but only became the case fairly recently. I might lean towards pgsql in the future based on that, actually.
Everyone should be upvoting this.

I vaguely remember 10gen brainstorming some ideas for fixing this, but it's a pretty poor design decision for a database you're advertising for use in "Big Data" scenarios. (Not that our measly 120 GB db constitutes big data... but even at Medium Data something as silly as key sizes can have a significant performance impact).
I've heard this about Riak and I was quite excited to test it out for a new project, but in the limited testing I've done Cassandra and HBase both absolutely smoke Riak in terms of write performance. Not really apples to apples I suppose, but I was really surprised at how slow Riak was when handling many (millions) of small writes.

We haven't finished our testing/profiling phase yet, so any hints on how to optimize a large number of small writes (on the order of ~dozen bytes each) would be appreciated.
Have a portfolio? What have you done before?
Obviously they can't do whatever they want but they can decide if they want to store variables in registers or main memory, they can change the order of a variety of operations, etc. Does C specify order of evaluation with multiplication? If so I wasn't aware of that. But you'll still have some compilers giving you 32 bit precision on intermediate results and some giving you 80 bits.
Maybe the real value of the app store (for Apple) is that Apple lets third parties take the risk of trying out new ideas and then they co-opt whatever really takes off into the next rev of iOS?
I believe the title is misleading, as it has incorrectly labelled this an "Aussie" design.

The article states IAT21 as being an "Austrian research company"?

AUSTRIAN, not Australian.

A lot of things are disruptive. Doesn't make them bad or undesirable. We talk about "disruptive" new technologies here on HN all the time and how the best progress is made by disrupting the status quo. I won't claim that all disruption is good, but who's to say a little disruption in the immigration world wouldn't be?
I like the idea of emacs but struggle to use it effectively. I've owned Tinderbox for a few years and only opened it a handful of times. There is a steep learning curve. If this hadn't been posted to HN I might not have given it a second look. I'm going to make it a point to try to figure it out. How about a blog post on some specific use cases?
Thanks for mentioning ShiftIt, I really like it so far! Maximizing windows with the keyboard was something I've always wanted!
'Why wouldnt netflix want it?"

I'm pretty sure the correct question is "Why would Netflix want it?" (companies don't generally acquire other companies "because why not?", at least not ones that hang around long), and I can't say I see a good answer to that. The only thing that Netflix could win with would be licensing deals, except Hulu doesn't actually have them, as they are all short term deals. If Netflix and NBC want to get together, or not get together, Netflix's possession of Hulu isn't going to affect anything either way in that case.

It isn't even worth buying them to squash them; they're doing a very good job of that on their own, and the list of buyers who stands a realistic chance of reversing that is very short.
If you were making the blocks that small, I'd make the axis meaningful and go 365 blocks across -- one column for each day of the year -- then midnight to midnight from top to bottom.

This would be a great visualization of daylight quantity and quality over the year.
i love Hulu and really dont like Netflix... if Hulu dies I'm going to be firing up Utorrent for the first time in a long time.
At incentiBox, we use mysql for transactional stuff, and MongoDB when we need fast inserts and then need to do data mining / analysis in the future (offline). We find this effective for logging, analytics type things.
A lot of companies use DB2, they just don't write blog posts about it.
Cassandra, but mainly because we have a couple devs who are excellent at debugging Java/JVM issues. Cassandra is young enough you really need to expect to get your hands dirty in its code to keep things humming. (I may be more forgiving of Cassandra because, unlike Mongo, Cassandra's major version number is 0).

Another team seems awfully happy with Hadoop, although they've been bitten by an HDFS related bug. I can't speak too much to their experience.

Memcached of course is wonderful, and the little bit I've used Redis it has lived up to its promises.

Riak is the only non-relational database I can think of that I've only heard positive things about, but I've never personally used it.
Holy crap, memory barriers! It's a modern architecture that's finally caught up to where Symbolics was at in the '80s. Seriously though, this is good news for concurrent garbage collected languages.
If a person's answer to this question is "no, I'd stay, even after I realize that I am breaking the laws of the country", I don't know how that person can expect sympathy after being busted (or "coming out").
Atomic transactions, perhaps at the expense of pgsql being slower.

Subqueries, but we don't require this in production.

Wariness of Oracle's conflict of interest.
I wouldn't. After seeing such tremendous security accumen from CitiGroup, I wonder how you can blindly trust.

But the larger point is, even if you can mostly undo the damage, you have a much harder time restoring trust. The money doesn't need to be lost. If you create enough of a panic to trigger a run on banks, you've achieved your goal, too.
If you have an Android device, its much easier to use the device instead of the simulator. Just connect your phone to your computer via usb and enable debugging on the phone. You can still trace through your code in Eclipse as if you were running through the simulator.
> Graphs are a much more modern and elegant way of storing relational data.

Actually, storing data as graphs is older than relational approaches. It used to be called "network databases". They were not supplanted for the hell of it, relational databases have certain advantages.

For select applications, object databases are absolutely the way to go. But for most purposes relational is hard to beat.

Exactly. Paying taxes does not make the situation fair. All his life he has "filled a spot" of an opportunity that would have otherwise been available to someone else. His achievements ("the end") do not justify the means.
Does a Simulation Really Need to Be Run?
For context, last years IPO was expected to raise $300MM on a $2 billion valuation[1]. However, it was also reported that even with $240MM in revenue, a lack of long-term content licenses sidelined the whole affair[2].

What really boggles the mind is the stated reason for a sale: "concerns that the site's success is undermining the traditional television business". If Netflix can hold-on and capture enough quality content, these old-school players will eventually go the way of the big record labels. Hulu's existence actually indicated that they might have learned from the music industry's mistakes.

It's great, but I don't want to build anything that relies on it in case they suddenly pull a Y! BOSS on it, or just shut it off completely. It is good for prototyping, though.

(There's always a risk when integrating with third-party services, but Yahoo! seems is a bit too shaky and capricious for my liking.)

If life were fair we'd all be living in luxury and wouldn't have to worry about this immigration crap. But life isn't fair. Laws aren't always fair. What inherent rule of the universe states that breaking an unfair law is wrong? Sure, you risk getting punished if you're caught. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try, and that doesn't mean I'm not going to be sympathetic if I happen to agree with your point of view, and wish that there can be an outcome where you don't get punished.

What positive benefit would come about due to kicking Vargas out of the country? Those on his side will just be angry, and the xenophobes will just remain as they are, satisfied that they ruined a life.
Aaron Sorkin quits Facebook
I wasn't addressing the egregious police-stateness at all, one way or the other (which I suppose is downplaying it, by not addressing it, but that wasn't my intention). I think that there should be incredibly strict bounds on what can be seized without a warrant, and still rather strict bounds on what can be seized with a warrant, but I don't know whether this case overstepped those bounds.

For example, I believe it's illegal to take information which was coincidentally seized along with legitimate evidence subject to a warrant, and use it in an unrelated case. I'm strongly in favor of such laws, to discourage "fishing expeditions", where law enforcement uses a legitimate warrant to seize a bunch of unrelated material that they're interested in using for other purposes.

However, I suspect if you walk into a data center where some malicious customer is doing something illegal, probably that customer has tried to make it harder to connect them to what they're doing.

Also, I don't know about this case, but there are lots of small hosting companies that lease servers from other companies, and the staff at the colo only know the lessor, not the lessee. They wouldn't have any access to the hosting company's customer database which might map customers to servers.

Besides, the FBI has to worry about low-probability cases like, what if one of the employees is a friend of, or paid off by, the bad guys? Or what if the bad guys are somehow monitoring the facility?

The FBI has a legitimate goal of seizing the evidence they need as quickly and with as little notice to the bad guys as legally possible.

Did the FBI act wrongly in this case? I don't know enough to tell.
That argument can be taken advantage of in lot of situations. I empatize with vargas but unfortunately, as the lawyer said, he needs to get back in line - legally.

He committed 70% of the fraud after turning 16. He is not kid anymore, and be responsible for his situation/actions.

What about legal alien kids who come (sent by parents) here legally for undergrad studies...pay upto 100K in tuition fees, and be sent back if can't get job visa or other legal immigration problems? Wouldn't you argue, this kid knows nothing , he was shown the american dream, he deserves greencard/citizenship?

Lot of other scenarios can be argued.

There is law for a reason, and 300 millions American citizens and legal aliens abide by it. Do you want make all of them feel idiots?
That is irrelevant to the question of his legal relationship with the US government, which is the matter at issue. Sure, he could go to the Philippines, but that's essentially wishing the problem away.

There are a lot of people who are technically citizens of other places but who arrived in the US at such a young age that they have no memory of ever living abroad, and often don't even speak the language. Why should such people suddenly find themselves excluded from legal participation in the workforce when they reach adulthood? From a constitutional standpoint it's a very problematic question, because those persons are at a significant disadvantage without having broken any laws.
I know Joe (well, knew, we haven't talked in a few years), but he's a great hustler (in the best sense of the word). Frankly, Yahoo needs someone who doesn't have experience running a $20B company. All the CEOs since Yang have run the company in to the ground.

Key among Yahoo's bad decisions: let's abandon search and become a 'media' company (based on 30 year old concepts of 'media' from a 'media' insider, all of which were rapidly becoming obsolete even 10 years ago).

Failing to get the internal groups to cooperate. Yes, it's hard. So what? That's what a CEO's job should be - do the hard stuff. The example about "well, integration wasn't on Flickr's roadmap'. Probably 110% true, but so what? Yahoo bought Flickr. Flickr's roadmap should have been Yahoo's roadmap, and Yahoo needed a coherent roadmap.

It's been so disheartening to see Yahoo move from an innovative company to "the place companies get acquired then die at".

Yahoo needs someone like Joe far more than it needs another Silicon Valley "insider board member" type. Yahoo's had a decade plus of "business types" who were going to "turn things around" and all that typical business BS. It's time for a real change. Not saying Joe specifically, but they need an outsider. I fear the shareholders are just too timid to demand real change.

The only place I'd disagree with Joe on in his list is the '100% autonomy' bits. It's the "100% autonomy" which got Yahoo in to problems, with no department being forced to integrate with another. I suspect with the right people in place, "100% autonomous decisions" may still mesh nicely with a focus on across the board integrated experiences, but I'd still want that to be a priority.

hope Yahoo! buys out Hulu!, and maybe even PopCap too
So, just because your mother put you on a plane with a complete stranger when you were 12, you should be thrown back to a third world country for a decade, even though your contributions to American society outweigh most native born citizens?

Yeah, that's real fair.
Please reread, I said "this path to permanent residency," not "the only path".

You can become a permanent resident by getting married, but the process isn't straightforward. The draconian requirement that the newly-married couple leave the US reduces some fraud, I'm sure, but it also causes an enormous amount of disruption for the 99% of legitimately married couples who have families and livelihoods within the US.
Laptops are different for me because they're big enough and powerful enough to do non-trivial work. I use my phone for checking email and bus-stop web surfing but I have a Macbook instead of something running Ubuntu because I need Photoshop and Ableton Live.

What I mean is that you will be so focused and busy on the consulting piece you won't have the time to work on the product - trust me I have been there.

Not necessarily. I product manage http://decalcms.com/ but don't really do much of the "actual work" on it until it's time to do a release at which point I focus a lot on the marketing.

The rest of the time I drum up business, run game on support and client queries and generally keep things ticking over.
Sure, for interactions outside of BankSimple there would be fees. Not so much 'gothca' fees, but services like wire transfers offered at cost. That point doesn't support your first assertion that the money wouldn't be FDIC insured. If the money is in the bank, it should be FDIC insured. It's really just a matter of WHO's insured. Is it you, or BankSimple?

As for drawing a negative balance, I don't think the bank your money is in will charge BankSimple, because I don't think BankSimple would open up thousands of individual accounts for each customer. The easier way to do it would be to have a single 'slush' account where all of the money goes. In that case, BankSimple wouldn't be charged for your overdraft, because their account never actually goes under.

Oracle is all over the place. My daily bread-and-butter relies on Oracle. For some thing it is, as I like to say, more 1980s than Top Gun crossed with Duran Duran -- still no SQL boolean type after 30 years! -- but for other things it has no peer except DB2, Sybase and SQL Server.
Meanwhile it's OK to get a citizenship through fake passports?

Why not? Think about it has hacking / routing around a broken system and it doesn't sound so bad. These are precisely the kinds of people I want living in working in the US: hard-working individuals who want to better themselves and those around them, and are willing to do anything to get there.

Or maybe I just hate waiting in lines.
Residency is conditional the first 2 years of marriage. Both spouses need to go through interviews, appear they are a couple - have joint bank accounts, bills, live together, etc.
It's also not a given that somebody with no existing legal status will be granted residency even if legitimately married.
Have Nokia actually committed to dumping MeeGo? It seems like if it achieves unexpected success there should be room to course correct.

For example, OS/2 was supposed to be Microsoft's future in the late 80s, and Windows was a stopgap. It wasn't even clear there would be a Windows 3.0 at all, until a couple of developers secretly took on the task of getting Windows running in protected mode (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/larryosterman/archive/2005/02/02/365...) .
Should totally add thumbnails. The mouseover would be more convenient for users and bandwidth costs would be lower.
Comparatively sure, but can that scale? The transactions can happen quickly know, but if the volume was comparable to ACH volume, could it keep up?

Let's look at his 10 apps or more specifically what he didn't list. Would your phone/tablet experience be degraded without the following:

RSS

Skype

iBooks/Kindle

Netflix/Hulu

Pandora/radio

Video Calling

all games

Mine would be and there are many more that I use less but value highly. Barcode scanners, Fandango, White Noise, flight trackers, turn by turn, Word Lens, a whole suite of reference materials that work offline.

A browser can replace some of them, somewhat. Chrome's promise is to replace nearly all of them completely but that's not here yet and is really just moving the goalposts.

Today I may not need all of these apps but I love that I have them.

Most people do not see Android, Apple and Nokia devices as being any different. They all have big screens, cameras, web, email, etc... They don't understand specs, so they judge on what they know. They do know apps, so this is one way in which they will judge the use of a phone.

Now, nobody will use 300,000 apps, but everyone knows 300,000 is better than 100,000, or 2,000.
The popular online television site, which has been the cause of much consternation in Hollywood
