In my neighborhood, a touristy area of miami, 25% of the retail spaces are empty and have been empty for YEARS. Landlords refuse to lower rents to draw new tenants. There must be a tax incentive to "lose" money on these units.

Many new developments in suburban areas further outside of the denser areas are offering tenants the first year free to get their feet settled. I think this is a smart move, and wish more landlords were that forward thinking.
It's definitely an environmental detriment and I think you're overstating how responsibly it's being done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paper

In the grand scheme of things though, you're definitely better off trading in the SUV than worrying about the environmental footprint of your personal library.
Here in Miami the borders and b&n were all built fairly far apart from each other. However our old Circuit cities are all seasonal halloween stores as well. They are truly the hermit crabs of the retail industry.

I'd love to see what types of retail is succeeding right now. I'll have my virtual assistant do some research on this and get back to you. Which retail sectors are growing in this economy, etc.
Wait, what happens?
I've never heard of the "artist stature" theory regarding what is copyrightable; the only time I've heard stature come into play is related to derivative works and destroying sculptures. What ruling would apply here?
The size of community for Rails vs Django does not really matters in your selection as both are big enough community. Choose base on your language preference Ruby vs Python as this is where you will be coding in. Learn the basic of both and decide then which is more suitable. I started with Rails/Ruby and switch to Python.
Social issues? Like what? I can think of a number of economic issues, but can't think of many social issues except the superficial ones.

On romanticism: I guess I was being too harsh. My point was that it doesn't really make any practical or economic sense for me to romanticize about books, but I can't help it anyway. (Which now seems self evident when you point out the definition of romanticism like that.)

Interesting about the environmental aspect. What about all the waste though? I guess it gets recycled eventually.
I recently used a new format and form and have had some success:

I've heard that "bios are the new resume" and I tend to agree. I also think that actual code is more important than experience (hence the focus on projects and github).

rails and django are both extensions from the ruby and python community. if you know your programming well, you'll be able to grok it in whatever framework you choose. on that note, i'll bet my last penny python's community is more vibrant than ruby. ruby is essentially dead without rails whereas python thrives quite happily without django.

It was merely listed as an advantage. You have the option of changing Scribus or paying someone to change Scribus for you. You do not have that option with InDesign.

The possibility that Scribus is a cumbersome mess (I haven't used it) is irrelevant to this point.
Your code is indented less than it might otherwise be indented, and you type fewer literal functions. Oh and there wasn't any mention of error handling so apparently there is nothing to help you when one of the calls in a twait block throws. I wonder how twait interacts with try/catch. If it's purely a CPS transform then yeah, you're just fucked on error handling.

mkevent is like creating a Deferred and twait is like creating a DeferredList and calling when/then on it with the remainder of the code after the twait block used as the callback. Conceptually this is a very specific and concrete subset of functionality that promises give you.
I would sign up for this! A gentleman's club sounds elitist - which is one way of keeping "community quality" up I suppose. But to me it's a rather ugly and exclusive way of doing it. Ideally, the audience would self select. The people who wouldn't fit the place and mindset wouldn't want to come in the first place. I don't even know how to begin to think about how one would come about doing that or how one would start such a community and expect people to come and socialize, though.

Games are usually not profound and thought provoking for the same reason food is usually not profound and thought provoking. That's just not the path to enjoyment that the medium is naturally inclined toward.

Food, above all else, must be tasty. Likewise, games, above all else, must be fun to play -- or more precisely, must provide unusually fulfilling analogs of the plights and labours of real life.

If you manage to make food that is both tasty and cerebrally stimulating, that's pretty awesome. But food that is strictly cerebral is always going to have marginal appeal at best. And you can't accuse chefs of being lazy and unimaginative just because their food isn't cerebral.

(For the nitpickers: yes, food is an extreme analogy. There is more room for expressiveness in games than in food, and it's probably underexploited. But you see the point I am making?)
Why hasn't anyone brought up error handling yet? What happens when an error is thrown inside a twait block? What happens when 2 errors are thrown inside a twait block?

Tame.js looks nice in that it's very simple to learn but ~300 lines of plain old JavaScript[1] can give you a general purpose deferred/promise library with more flexibility should you need to do something other than wait on N async operations and then use the results.

If technology is the cause of unemployment, obviously the solution is get rid of all technology.

In fact, all unemployed people need to do is go to where there is no technology. I'm sure they will find plenty of work to do.

The fact is that technology creates wealth. Cheap goods and services delivered by technology raise quality of life even for the poorest way beyond even the top dog in a technology-free society.

The availability of technology make it possible for work to produce a lot. And the availability of capital makes it possible for workers to earn high salaries. Workers can borrow money and buy the same technology and compete with their former employers. So you have to pay them much more than you would if there were no technology.

Technology gives everybody more options. Today, anybody can find enough money lying around to match the average standard living people enjoyed 200 years ago. All you need to do is collect bottles.

Unemployment is a problem in the labor market. In markets, prices go up and down so supply and demand equalize. There are many things in the labor market preventing this. The costs of hiring and later firing an employee are too high.

The labor market for low wage workers won't function properly until these costs are addressed. But many people think the solution is to make employers pay even more. Too many people don't realize how markets work.
You can see it as that, or as a very savvy business decision to keep margins high and build a moat by giving them an advantage over their competitors.

Either way, it's a smart move.
Your post is self invalidating.

Paul Krugman points out constantly that if the unemployment problem was structural, we'd see wages rising in areas where there is demand,...

A testable prediction of (one version of) structuralist theories [1].

...for those above [400k] they've increased 23% since 2008.

It looks like reality fits the structuralist predictions - wages are rising for some people, and falling for others.

[1] Not all structuralist theories predict this, however. Krugman's version of structuralist theories is based on assumptions of interchangeability of labor, no delays in price adjustment (i.e., no sticky wages or sticky prices), and several more. It's strange how Krugman believes in sticky prices/wages when pushing Keynesian theories, but believes them to be false when bashing structuralist theories.

TDD with Ryan Bates
What we need is a public key authentication scheme with the possibility for normal users to delegate their identity to some trusted third party to which they hand their public key (like with OpenID). I think this would be the best of both worlds: normal users get a seamless experience, and nerds have total control over their identity without even needing to, say, own a domain name and trust DNS.
EB* takes several years to be processed, even EB1-EA. Employers will not wait several years while you twiddle around outside of the country, so how almost everyone does it is to get an H1-B and apply for the EB* soon after while on the H1-B. Or they use it as leverage to get more work out of the immigrant. There is no H1-B speed EB visa and thats what needs changing. And you can only have an H1-B visa once, you can't renew for new ones indefinitely.
Great post- definitely one of the most insightful that I've read on Hacker News.

The other day I was thinking about why humans seem to be conditioned to ignore the failures, both their own and those of the people around them, often to their own detriment, while at the same time often quite accurately seeing the deficiencies of those closest to them. I concluded that there must be something evolutionary in that behavior, given that it is so prevalent in society.

But in any case, what is the alternative? To give up before you start? I know a lot of people who have gone that route, and overall it doesn't seem to be a recipe for success or happiness.
I'm pretty cautious when it comes to downvoting. A comment would have to factually incorrect, FUD, abusive or utterly pointless and stupid for me to downvote it.

It's worth pointing out that the term "Analyzer server" isn't used in the sense most of us would understand the term server now, but rather referring to an internal software component that's an inherent part of the software rather than an external application.
That's exactly the kind of thing you're supposed to do to verify those keys.

(I don't either).

This is a much bigger deal in a web setting, though.
>One expression of altruism that the left in the US doesn't seem to respect at all is the idea that someone who's poor or unemployed might still believe that it's not healthy for society to grant him all sorts of entitlements.

So if you're poor and left-wing nobody should take you seriously? What if you're rich and left-wing?

And I don't think a lot of people have a problem with the rich voting in their self-interest. It's when they control the airwaves and purchase the government that people get upset.

(Needless to say, I'm not referring to people in the 250k-500k band here, but rather that 1% that controls half the wealth of the nation.)
How about two separate systems. A quota-system and a points-system. You don't fall into the quota-system if you score high enough in the points-system.
Had this type of thing happen to me as well and I also contemplated doing what you did but saying a lot of curse words and beer has same effect.
Not to mention that if they did pay for the license, I'm not sure that it would propagate down to forking projects. If you can't fork Firefox, that significantly impedes the utility of its open-source development model.
And why not give copyright to the owner of the monkey?

Both, the monkey and the camera are "ownable" and took part in creating the picture... I would even go as far as to argue the monkey was more important than the camera. Should we also give copyright to the "owners" of the algorithms that took part in calculating the correct exposure for the photographs the monkey took?

And it's not like trap photography in that the monkey framed the picture himself, and framing is in itself a very important part of photography. Some would say even more than exposure that can (and was in this case, as I already pointed out) automated by the camera.

It's both. They are pulling a shrewd business move, which is also providing funding to propel the industry forward.
find a really good accountant and talk to them. If you are treated as a business then there are these things called deductions. Taxes are assessed on profit not revenue. It sounds like the irs is assuming that all revenue is profit, get someone to file forms otherwise. They may end up owing you money.

The US sells plenty to China. Besides the odd cases like Chinese-made Apple products that are sold for a premium in China (after being shipped back and forth to the US), there are tons of things like cars, planes, food and medical equipment that add up to over $90b annually. They're one of our largest trading partners.

I've heard similar things. I don't totally understand how the Nook exists in a world where the Kindle and iPad exist. My only explanation for why people are buying these things is that they want a cheap tablet (closer to the price of a Kindle rather than the iPad) and don't want to buy it online. If that's the case, Amazon dropped the ball big time wrt distribution channels. Anyone have a counter theory?

With all due respect to the author, some editing is in order. The many grammar mistakes in the article make it hard to read. Most of it comes down to the fact that "Apple" is singular, not plural, but there are some general writing level issues there, as well.
Very good post, I like the use of two themes: playing games and building things. I think he places too little emphasis on the importance of games though, and to my ears, he is advancing a false dichotomy between game-playing and thing-building. Playing games to win them can be very satisfying.

There are a couple of games that are somehow larger: the great game of empire and the money game, measured by net worth, but others such as the tour de france and nascar provide the winners with substantial social status. As an aside, not sure where musicians fit into this world-view.

The separation of concepts of game player and thing builder are useful, but it is easy to go too far. Bill Gates is well known to be intensely competitive, and to suggest that he was somehow building something for the good of mankind is deluded. In fact, this paragraph is pure confusion regarding Bill Gates' leadership of Microsoft:

'''Even Bill Gates seems to have an opinion on this. “I’m a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they’re interested in.” And sure enough, he’s been building these tools all his life. All the money he made doing it? He’s giving it away. And he’s enjoying that process too!'''

Philanthropy is somewhat common behavior among highly successful people, at least in the USA, but to suggest that fortunes are made for the sake of giving them away is to confuse life trajectory with motivating beliefs.

The game is to win! Empires are built to crush other empires, and athletes build their bodies to defeat their opponents! This is Drama, and it is stuff of Life.

To win big one must build big, but if the aim is simply to build big, it is easy to drift off into cult territory like this guy: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/07/25/110725fa_fact_...

I am suggesting that the competitive context is useful not only for germinating the building of things but also for integrating them into the rest of society once they have been built.
Ask HN: tool for keeping up with advances in software development?
With the constant barrage of new software development technologies, techniques and concepts, I'm looking for a site that would help me in keeping track of new stuff to learn. Say, for example, that I would like to learn Node.js. This site should enable be to keep track of key learning milestones related to Node.js and maybe a list of tutorials, videos, etc that are available online. It doesn't have to have any original content, but more function like a todo list and calendar.

Does such as thing exist?
