It's basically an e-mail list that people upload project ideas from http://www.bzupnick.com/WHform/index.php and then a weekly email goes out, then you can respond to the projects and get in contact with the project uploader.

they're coming out with a website soon. They've been working on it for awhile.

I also have some ideas we can work on together, you can e-mail me at bzupnick@gmail.com

This is great. Talk about finding a real need and solving it. Well done guys. Do you or does anyone know of something similar for licensing agreements? The ones we all sign without reading? That'd be great as well.

Huh? I think zdnet is reading a bit too much into what appears to be a 15 minute edit done by someone from marketing. They might as well claim that Internet Explorer was defeated since they removed that text as well... oh wait.

No but seriously, I doubt MS has seriously looked at Linux as any type of threat in the last 3 to 5 years. It's not exactly parading in and stealing their average user from them. Maybe they just shortened it because they realized no one really cares to read filler like this -- with the exception of some news sites apparently.
This is part of the trouble with patents.

You can't patent obvious things. But once someone invents something it suddenly seems obvious, and people ridicule the idea of patenting it.

I should have been more clear that finance pros do not all already read SEC filings. Some pay for news services this could replace. Some read the filings manually and would pay a small amount of money to not bother with edgar. They won't get the unlimited-budget firms but they could get a branch manager to replace a $3k/year newsletter with this.

They were never meant to have anywhere near that number of files in the first place. The article mentions that the cleaning up of old files failed - presumably they didn't bother with subdirectories because under normal circumstances the single directory approach was working fine.
I don't know if you can dismiss his entire argument because of his alleged "anti-foss" stance.

He is simply pointing out that in the light of a much, much larger than standard break-up fee someone in the deal (Motorola) must have concerns about it being approved. You don't tack on a 'ohhh and by the way if this doesn't go through you still owe us 2.5 billion' just for fun, and Google doesn't agree to it because they are such swell guys.

His remarks about using search to subsidize below/at-cost competition is a legitimate concern for a competitiveness perspective. It is one of the things that got Microsoft in trouble (http://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/ms_tuncom/major/mtc-0002856...), specifically the part of leveraging cross-subsidies to avoid having to worry about financial success of an unrelated product (see: Android) and using said lack of concern to smother your competitors ability to make money/drive them out of business.

I personally don't know how this whole thing will play out, but I would strongly suspect Google's mobile channel partners (the ones licensing Android + paying Google a fee for use of their stack on said devices) are NOT thrilled with the idea that the one licensing them the technology has now become a possible competitor. They may say one thing in public, through their PR agents, but I strongly doubt any of them like this turn of events.

They (Google) seem to believe they will be able to do what few if any companies historically have been able to do. Buy a large, established business in an area they are not expert in then run it as an isolated entity within their larger organization. Sounds good on paper, doesn't tend to work out so cleanly in real life with all the complexities that arise. We shall see, assuming the deal goes through.
Short version: Jenkins polls version control for changes, runs all tests and on success builds a package. Right now this is just a tar file but we plan to switch to rpms (we're on RHEL).

We run a script to deploy and use the same package on stage as we do on prod. We use puppet to manage staging and production configurations.

This process has made deployments for a complex system amazingly easy.

I don't understand how this is any kind of incentive at all. They've declared they have absolutely no intention of ever making good on it (will never sell out or go public). They don't even tell new employees about it.

Other than making themselves feel like good benevolent managers, this utterly fails as an incentive. What's the point?
I just can't stand this mentality. Avoiding doing something just because there might be a mere possibility of being sued for it is a total copout.

If you have pretty a good reason to believe something bad will happen, one ought to do their best to protect anyone that might be potentially harmed.

But as far as I've heard, all BART has been going off of are anonymous blog posts about gathering for peaceful protests.

If there is some kind smoking gun of violent intentions, I have yet to see it.

It seems to me that both sides have been escalating and blowing a non-situation (shutting power to leased, shared-carrier facilities) out of proportion. It's one thing to reduce coverage, and an entirely different thing to intentionally jam.

There is, of course, the contextual undercurrent of Oscar Grant being murdered by Johannes Mehserle.
By virtue of P probably not equaling NP, I think the "more processing power" argument is ridiculous. To think up a new math theorem using exhaustive search of the space is simply unthinkable, no matter how much computing power you have. Some currently unknown form of creativity must be applied to reduce the search space considerably.
I'm also constantly frustrated to find that virtually all founders are male, and every year I get a lot of flack for not having more women speaking. But it's a much larger problem than just this event; there are almost no women in VC or doing angel investments, for example.

For this event, my goal is to invite the absolute best speakers possible, whether they're men or women. Convore may have rough edges (just like any startup's product), but I'm super excited to hear Leah speak. To say "clever" is a huge understatement, and undermines her skill and tenacity. Most people haven't founded, built, and sold a company in that timeframe. And now she's on round 2.

I really don't see how you couldn't replace MongoDB in that post with any other database and still be presented with the same issues:
- adding indexes slows writes down and increases memory requirements
- running queries with poor / no indexes will cause you to have I/O constraints and an unhappy CPU
- it seems like your data set was better suited for a graph db like neo4j than a document db or RDBMS.

As for the data corruption, I didnt see you mention if you were checking for a response on saves or not.

I think the problems you experienced were due much more to the fact that you apparently had more data than the machine could handle, not necessarily the database engine used.

Warren Buffett Discusses The Op-Ed on Charlie Rose
Just because everyone in the world has the right has to be parents, it doesn't mean that it is right for them to be irresponsible.

Of course, in that case, if you want to argue, they have all their rights to be irresponsible as well as long as they don't break the law.

Now, if the society has come to this point that they value irresponsibility so much so that they argue for it, then we have gone a long way down then.

Um, why would you suspect that? Do you find investing just to be investing more enjoyable than anything money could buy? Why would the mega-rich be any different?

I picked my job because it is very enjoyable to me. I would do it for free if I had too. The job of the mega-rich is to invest. They are under no financial pressure (like say a Mexican immigrant) that forces them to take that job.

Anyway, by that logic...

I totally agree that it's not the best use of the money, and would definitely rather see it invested wisely. At the same time, it's not like the money's just being burned. It adds a small inefficiency into the investment cycle, but apparently Buffet thinks this inefficiency is not as big as most other people do.
I'm not convinced that it's really cheaper to hire (good) Linux devs for this kind of work, and even if it were I doubt that's their biggest concern. A bunch of "commodity" developers wouldn't be able to build a complex real-time system like that and meet those targets - look what happened to the London Stock Exchange a couple of years back when they tried that.

It seems much more likely to me that the real underlying driver is the level of customisability they need. They're talking about making scheduler changes to the kernel and building the whole OS themselves - that's a level of control Windows (or any other closed-source option) doesn't offer.
Thanks for taking the time to respond in a fair and courteous manner. Looking back, my post comes off as more than a little abrasive, so your consideration is appreciated.

I do see where you're coming from (sort of). I recognize that aesthetics can be of substantive value. If that was not the case, artwork would not sell for millions of dollars. That said, I still have to disagree with you regarding Apple. I suspect this may stem from a fundamental divergence in the way we view our computers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you view the form of the computer, in addition to the function, as a primary consideration in the value that you assign to it. I, on the other hand, view the function of the machine as the only consideration when assigning a value to it.

Computers are different enough from other objects that analogies are always suspect, but a limited analogy to tools may be of use here. I would be willing to trade an ergonomic handle and a certain aesthetic look in a wrench for a 20% gain in torque strength. I suspect that you would not be as sure to make that trade-off. At the very least, you would perhaps consider whether you really needed the advantage in strength.

Nicely done.

It'd take considerably more effort, but it'd be nice if it wasn't so blatantly copied from wikipedia - it should be possible to perform minimal word-order changes without too high a risk of breaking things. (Also, forcing sentences into past tense would be nice too.)
You missed the point. That's exactly what Buffet wants. In the pizza example, the people who are not paying their fair share are not the minimum-wagers, but rather the mega-rich who pay only 15% capital gains.
Yes, it does. "Arms merchants" like Qualcomm, TI and NVIDIA are more than just "shovel salesmen". Among other things, they're the ones who do the first ports of Android to their chipsets. I don't remember where I read this, but they compete just as much as the phone manufacturers do to make it into "Nexus / Google Experience" devices.

One of the big reasons profitability matters is because it drives future investment. To the extent that component manufacturers are making money porting Android to their components and selling the combination, they're going to keep investing, even if their downstream customers are locked in a brutal price war.

People on HN/Reddit are pretty biased when it comes to CSS knowledge almost to the point where I really wonder if they've ever worked at a place outside of a startup or a tiny company. If you work at an creative digital agency, chances are the division of labour will mean you won't ever have to touch a line of code. It just makes more sense to divvy up the responsibilities. Plus, during client presentations, most of the designs are mocked up as flats instead of live code.

I'm currently using CS5, but it's largely because of some of the small addition features with smart objects, workflow, and layer styles that annoyed me with CS3. It's one of those things where you have to work with a program for a long time before you notice these small upgrades that really help the day-to-day. I think you're fine with CS3.

The idea that GIMP is more than useful is... debatable. I would say that every notable designer I know in NYC/SF uses Photoshop. Like it or not, it is the industry standard. And while I do sometimes have a love-hate relationship with the program (specifically because I want more stability instead of new features), GIMP is still far behind with regards to it's intuitiveness and penetration.

Now that I've migrated to a startup, I use Photoshop for quick initial concepts before coding scss. Photoshop is pretty solid for making elements or re-using templated elements made from other designers and photo-editing.
World’s third richest guy proposes higher taxes… for other people
I can't get to the page. Can someone repost the content here?
You could run another thought experiment. $50M exit, 20% goes to employees (because 5% is just the minimum). Suppose 10 employees, 5 are maxed out, the other 5 have 4,3,2,1,0 units respectively. 20% of $50M is $10M. The payout range then is $286K to $1.4M (before taxes).
If Microsoft was settling their patent dispute with Motorola and looking at a cross-licensing agreement, that is all the more reason for Google to buy them. Either Google gets a cross-licensing deal and gets the protection they want for the Android ecosystem (at least from Microsoft) or Google winds up with a patent portfolio that Microsoft has already decided is dangerous.
Just a point of interest -- most of the SF BART stations are not "repeaters" per se (except perhaps in the context of a network or higher layer protocol), but are actually full blown computerized radio systems themselves.

Here's one that relates to your Socrates reference -- "true knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing".

It's a Charlie Rose segment where Jim Collins is discussing his book "How the Mighty Fall" (http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10565). He talks about the five stages of decline in any great enterprise. Stage 1 is hubris -- thinking you know it all.
That was pretty painful to read. I'm a relatively slow reader, and that - when coupled with some other distractions around me - meant that I got behind the text crawl at times. When a picture would appear, and most of the text would get quickly pushed off screen, I would have to scroll up and try to catch what I missed while the page struggled to push me back down to the newest words.

Eventually I just gave up and let it finish before reading. It would be nice if the page could detect when I scroll up and stop writing until I'm ready to resume.

I should have elaborated further. I keep seeing the GP's implication that it's hypocritical of Warren Buffet to suggest changes to the rules when he has already won a lot of money. I think this argument is a red herring, and the reason that it comes up so often is that he is in an enviable position as the "winner" of the game.

It's perfectly legitimate to advocate for changes to the rules of a game even while playing under the current rules. By way of analogy, a friend wanted to win an honorable mention on some website for his work, but he was annoyed that the last step in judging submissions was a stupid online survey with no restriction on multiple submissions. He emailed the organizers to tell them that the form was meaningless, but when they didn't change the form, he used curl a few thousand times to win. (The runner-up also clearly voted far more than was possible by hand). Optimizing for broken rules can be unfortunate but not necessarily unethical.

I just think Mr. Buffet's policy recommendations should be debated on its real flaws (like the article points out) rather than on how well he plays under the current rules.
Ask HN: Your Average Cost for a Virtual Machine
If you or your employer has deployed a virtualization platform, what is your average capex cost of a single virtual machine? In other words, how many dollars were spent as a capital expenditure on the infrastructure, and how many VMs was it designed to run concurrently?

I imagine the answers will vary from $10/VM (VM not consuming much of any CPU/disk/network resource, just RAM) to $1000/VM.

I'm struggling to understand why ZFS makes enterprise storage obsolete. One of the benefits of the SAN is that it is shared amongst a number of servers.

How does ZFS help with that? Assuming you install SmartOS as virtualisation host, you'd still need some kind of shared storage.

[Edit:] The reason I point this out is that if you lose a host, you lose all VMs running on that host. And then you won't easily be able to get them back online on another host if you've lost your storage as well.

"If that's the case, then charging 'market value' still wouldn't work, would it?"

That is not true. If a price is set at a certain point at the start, then it doesn't take hundreds or thousands of bids from users in order to reach the market value. I'm sure Alexis's time is worth north of 500 an hour - wouldn't it be interesting if he could charge that much and give to charity? instead of hoping that thousands of HN readers will bid some quarters and maybe muster a grand total of 50 dollars for a whopping hour of donated time for charity.

If all the losers bids were still collected, penny auction style, then maybe there is a way it can net more than the 'set value' method of pricing. Otherwise it seems like charities would be losing a lot of money, atleast for the time being while the markets are inefficient and you can hire tech gurus for $1 a minute.

Very interesting employee "benefit." I wonder if it would be considered as an employee benefit subject to reporting requirements / oversight by the U.S. Department of Labor or other federal agency?
The post I'm replying to placed "pay my fair share" in opposition to paying for the pizza eaten by the people who didn't pay for themselves. I'm pretty sure that the point you're making is not the point he was making, which to me sounded like the standard argument against progressive taxation.
What the hell. I read this entire thing, thinking "gee I know quite a few people looking to hire". I have no idea what this guy can do.
So the dispute is partly over the similarity of aspect ratio?

Now we're patenting ratios?

Most TVs are the same aspect ratio. In the old days the were all virtually the same aspect ratio. These days videos can be different aspect ratios shown within the same TV. All the TVs look about the same ratio, I suppose because of whatever the largest ratio is.

On a computer, phone or tablet it's the other way around, the device (partly) determines the aspect ratio of the displayed object.

So now each device has to pre-select a different aspect ratio for displayed objects? What's the minimum allowed difference?
