He granted permission for the Apple employees to enter his residence to search. Nothing in the article indicates any civil liberties were violated.

Ask yourself: would an iPhone 5 would get $500 on the open market? More likely it would be worth $100,000 or more. And if someone stole a $100,000 device of mine with a GPS device that was tracked to a residence, I would hope the SFPD would help me. Anything less would be a miscarriage of justice.

Now onto guilt, this person admitted he was at the bar from which the iPhone was allegedly stolen. Now while this might not be enough to convict someone in a court of law, it's certainly enough to investigate further.

I do not understand why this story is getting any traction except the standard internet hatreds for police and corporations.
Just buy a laptop as usual. But then return the pre-installed Windows to the manufacturer (not the retailer), for a refund.

Your right to do this is protected by various competition laws prohibiting 'tying' - the bundling of third party products. For generic PC hardware, Windows is third party - it's not exclusively necessary to run the machine, since there are many other third party OSs available.

So it comes down to the question whether you trust and whether you can afford this adventure. Trust in this case not only relates to their personal conduct but also their ability to realistically judge where this business is going. In any case, it's a bad deal for you if you depend on the income. But if you have time and money to spare for such an experiment, you might be better off working for no wage at all during that time and taking equity instead.
No, it's just normal for some people. He probably doesn't mean all human interaction, but rather just the pointless (or awkward) interaction.

That's true. Arrington has also never shied away from using his site to try and destroy people he had a personal vendetta with. I don't believe there was ever a hint of journalistic integrity involved at TC, it has always felt like a deeply personal and opinionated blog. While there is nothing wrong with this in of itself, the problem was that Arrington is extremely well-connected and influential - which made Techcrunch effectively a tool designed to bully people. TC's attitude has never been friendly either, I can't recall a single interaction with me or anyone else where TC staff have not behaved like total dicks.
This:

"Gebruikers van SSL certificaten kunnen afhankelijk van de desbetreffende browserleverancier geconfronteerd worden met een mededeling dat het certificaat niet vertrouwd wordt. Dit is in 99,9% van de gevallen onjuist, het certificaat kan wel worden vertrouwd. Dit kan handmatig door de gebruiker zelf worden aangegeven in de browser (hiervoor kunt u terecht op de FAQ op onze website)."

Translates (roughly) to this:

Depending on the browsers a user of SSL certificates may be confronted with a message stating the certificate is not trusted. In 99.9% of the cases this is not correct, the certificate can be trusted. The user can do this manually using his browser (see our FAQ).

Given the situation I don't think that is the right message. I think people should not be told that 99.9% of certificates can be trusted even though their computer says no.
I definitely feel what Rob feels, that there is work left to be done.

Soccer betting
On a global scale, soccer betting is one of the most popular forms of sports betting activities that takes place. Many Americans would be surprised to know that in Europe, soccer betting is the equivalent of professional football wagering in the United States. It's extremely popular. Soccer betting is similar to wagering on professional baseball or the National Hockey League, in that it uses the money line, but there is one major difference. In soccer betting, not only can you place a bet on either team.

ELOTTA Swiss-T-Gallery - Online Store for Luxury Watch Winders
There’s a sort of automatic watches with self self-winding machinery You may choose among a single watch winder, dual watch winder or one able to wind quite a few watches simultaneously based on the number of watches you require winding. The single or dual watch winder is usually covered by means of a coating of yielding material for cushioning the timepiece to prevent scratches from occurring while being subjected to the round movement. It also comes with a mechanism that grasps the watch and secures it firmly so that it doesn’t move while the process of winding occurs. The most regularly employed automatic watch winders begin at a cost of about $100 and go up till more than $2000.

Mass production was just one aspect of the industrial revolution, mainly developed in the US. Other parts of the technological change were as important, increasing productivity, the development of machine tools etc. Now capital costs for tools are coming right down as they turn into software, big companies are not so necessary as they were just a source of large capital. Newspapers were big because printing presses were hugely expensive. As industries lose the need for huge capital big companies will go, as their command structures are less efficient than agile markets of freelancers and small businesses.

What's the point of posting an article behind a paywall where 99% of us can't read it?

Flagged.
I think it's pretty easy to hand someone a "50 page business plan", if that's what he really wants, by turning a 5-10 page pitch deck and 3 page executive summary into a ~10-15 page document (with notes), combined with some additional product documentation, market research, etc. (which can just be included as appendices).

As long as there's no real original content required, I don't see why it's that big a deal. You already have the pitch deck, executive summary, maybe some long-form resume or bios of key people, news articles, and white papers (if it's a hard tech company; otherwise include screenshots, press coverage, etc.).

The only thing which is bogus is the 5y pro forma financials; these become more reasonable post series A I think.

tomjen3 is literally correct that the system call interface used here (int $0x80) still works.

However the system call interface used by most Linux programs today is different in two important respects:

(1) Most(?) current Linux programs run on x86-64 and I'm not sure if int $0x80 is even implemented for this architecture. Whether or not it's implemented, it is not the one which is used normally. Programs use a special 'syscall' instruction:

http://repo.or.cz/w/glibc.git/blob/HEAD:/sysdeps/unix/sysv/l...

(2) Even on 32 bit i?86, int $0x80 has not been used by ordinary compiled programs for a long time. This is because software interrupts were discovered to be very slow, since all registers are saved whether you need to or not. There are faster methods to enter the kernel now. Originally the replacement was to use the Intel 'sysenter' instruction. This was slow too. It was replaced by a "call gate" via %gs, see ENTER_KERNEL here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/glibc.git/blob/HEAD:/sysdeps/unix/sysv/l...

I think modern code on 32 bit ix86 now uses 'syscall' where available. It's hard to keep up, and a detail that doesn't matter for anyone except a handful of kernel and glibc hackers.
But which state? If you're that mobile, you can choose.

My friend (who is living/working abroad) established residency in Wyoming because they don't have state income tax. It took him a little effort (he had to get a state driver's licence and register to vote), but it was a lot better than paying Maryland state income tax when he sold all his property and no longer plans to live there.
Please, try to understand that there are different kinds of people, intelligences, sensibilities and talents, and that what's easy and simple for someone, might be hell for someone else.

Some professionals might do a more than excellent job if they focus and pair with a developer, instead of trying to be something they are not. ;)
Some others instead, might become better professionals by learning how to code. Different people, different skills, and they can both work on the web very efficiently in both small and big teams. :)

I love the attitude you express in the third paragraph. We need way more people willing to teach and support others understanding them. :)
Dr. William K. Black: The Great American Bank Robbery
It's a wonderful quote, because it also says that before coding you might want to learn cognitive psychology, social psychology, gestalt theory, marketing, copywriting, information architecture, usability, economy, statistics, science of materials, architecture and so on and on. :)

There's not just "design" and "code" out there, the design field is way more deep than that, so that quote might translate well to a designer that can't code, but studied in depth social psychology, urban architecture and team cooperation techniques. :)

18:6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab
went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

18:7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he
knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord
Elijah? 18:8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold,
Elijah is here.

18:9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy
servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 18:10 As the LORD thy God
liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent
to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of
the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
Yeah, I was worried about all that. Hell, I was worried NoSQL couldn't possibly work at all, given my experience of SQL and the joyful things that happen there.

But I've found that my object model has evolved to handle the "scariness" of the back end. If someone wants to change the boss of an employee, they are doing if via an http post. So I've got to check that the key I was sent over http is even an employee at all and not some javascript bug. Since I have to do that, I might as well read the data into my employee object. Then the code to update employee X with employee Y as a boss is pretty straight forward and thoroughly unit tested. The code to serialize an employee is thoroughly unit tested.

Not saying shit cant happen. Now look me in the eye and tell me you never had some noob drop a constraint and forget to put it back.

Business plans? I've heard of them
In my state, Pennsylvania, it is my understanding that the homeless are not allowed to drive or even to receive mail, because a mailbox cannot be used for the address on their driver's license, and they cannot get a mailbox, neither from the Post Office nor from a reputable mailbox rental business, without already having an address which they can prove is their residence. Therefore, unless the rules are different in his state, he is not allowed to drive, and if that's the case, then: How can he be a lawful resident?

Probably lots of sites will after this week.

IMHO it's getting a little out of hand how much concern is being given to the gov.nl private PKI system and the few hundred other certs Diginotar issued where the website admins have to swap a file or two.

The big deal is the security of the whole freaking internet resting on top of this tiny little web app and server in .nl and the unknown number of actual users in .ir getting MitMd and likely horribly persecuted.

Ask HN: Should I get lawyer?
I know there are a lot of steps involved in creating a startup and getting a lawyer is just one. But if I am planning on boot strapping a side project, I'm wondering what is the minimum legal protection I should get. For instance, one of my apps allows the embedding of youtube videos, which may be illegally put there. I'm wondering if I should incorporate to prevent being sued personally in the unfortunate event it comes to that.

Groupon's PR Boss Suddenly Quit After Just Two Months On The Job - Here's Why
The downside is that this comes with a growingly prevalent risk. An individual is more likely to be a successful actor in sabotage and espionage, and harder to put trust on, than an established company. As this "gig economy" grows, I anticipate that freelancing individuals will to a greater and greater extent be approached with offers as well as deployed on purpose for this kind of work, as a form of incidental spy. That said, being a freelancer myself, I definitely see more than just the negative aspects of the freelancing revolution.

Aye. There's a sense in which being an inventor or an intellectual that pushes a culture forward is "leadership", but we have other words for that, we call those people visionaries or influential thinkers or a force in society and lots of other things too. Trying to appropriate the word "leadership" when there are so many other positive ways to describe the qualities of an independent thinker or maker is a bit silly.

You could even call it "thought leadership" without impinging on the wider sense of "leadership".
The comments here are mildly frustrating to me. Core takeaway: despite what you might assume about purchasing rules, no-touch sales can successfully penetrate organizations which have billions of dollars invested in making sales difficult. That is VERY IMPORTANT for your business model because the LTV of an account fo these types of services is fairly high and thry are UTTERLY price insensitive at the dollar amounts we routinely bicker over.

There can be a 'high cost' to living out in the country too.

The 'direct' cost - lower property taxes, for example - is offset by often having to drive further for basic stuff that you may be able to walk to or use public transport for in a larger city.

There's also a social cost - fewer human interactions - which, for some people, is actually a positive, but it's not for everyone.

Also, opportunity cost can be higher out in the country. You may simply miss out on experiencing things that you would in a city. But in a city, you might miss out on cleaner air, nicer sunsets, etc.

7 Startup Co-Founders That Can Lead to Conflict
"Am I splitting hairs?"

You are, but let me split them further. Any expense can be classified as either a capital expense or a consumptive one. Expenses classified as one can usually, with a few logical contortions, also be classified as the other. For example, food is the classical consumptive expense, but one could also treat it as an investment as food keeps one alive (and healthy hopefully) and allows one to work in the future. I think that the same can be said about reading here. If you buy a book, it's an expense, and if you read it, you've "consumed" it. Sure you can read it again or someone else can read it, but it's still a consumer good.

I think what people mean here is that devices like this and the iPad are not generally geared to the production of works and more to their consumption. What I mean is, while reading a book on the Amazon Kindle might be an investment in your own mind and future, the Kindle doesn't enable one to author his own books. The web however, does enable one to put up his own webpage or blog (if you can figure it out.) I think this is what people are talking about here. It has to do with our place in the economics of the thing.
Hi folks,

I'm on the App Engine team, and I just wanted to clarify one thing: The main difference between CPU hours and Instance hours is that CPU hours are charged based on CPU usage, while instance hours are based on wallclock time. The high ratio between the two you can see with PlusFeed is because it's spending a lot of time to serve each request, most of which is spent doing nothing - likely because it's doing outgoing HTTP requests.

Previously, we had no way to account for apps like this, that take a lot of wallclock time but very little CPU time, and as a result we couldn't scale them well. Under the new model, the charges reflect the real cost here - memory pressure. Every second an instance sits around waiting is a second that the memory occupied by that instance can't be used to serve other requests.

As others have pointed out, we're in the process of launching Python 2.7 support - it's currently in Trusted Tester phase - which will support multiple concurrent requests, and services like PlusFeed are likely to be able to take great advantage of that, reducing their instance hours by a large factor. Likewise, doing asynchronous URLFetches (where that's practical) can cut a huge amount off instance time.

The main problem, as I see it, is that he didn't know the two men who searched their home were not police officers. Worse, the cops allowed the man to have the impression that they were. And the fact that the cops themselves didn't go inside shows me that they knew what they were doing was questionable.
One gets from 31 cpu hours to 879 instance hours if your average CPU utilization is about 3.5% - see my other post for details.
