It would be very nice couple of Bollywood.
Any money put into savings beyond petty cash for emergency situations is money lost if you have debts. The interest on your credit card debt is going to be at least an order of magnitude greater than any interest you're going to get on savings or investments. Pay off your debt first, save later.

The real answer is that you need to break down what is in that 45% because that's where "non-essentials" are going to be.
Seems like a lot of folks missed the section of the post explaining their implementation and use of _ECDHE_ not _EDH_. The performance impact of ECDHE is surprisingly small.
I save 30-40% of every paycheck (not including 401K), but I live at home and don't pay any rent (also no loans), have no wife/kids, no mortgage and my work offers free lunch and dinner.

One thing that helped me save more though, was creating a spreadsheet that I update every weekday with all of my account balances (through Mint). I have some formulas built in that basically then calculate when I will be able to afford a down payment on a home. http://twitpic.com/7i78rb

I put both Mint and this spreadsheet on the list of default tabs that get opened when I open Chrome, and the minute every morning I spend updating it and seeing the date it spits out really keeps me on top of my spending and finances.

Translating my current financial picture into a concrete date for a goal also helps make things more real, and motivates me a lot to save more.

Why the heck are you saving any cash when you have credit card debt, and how the heck did you get a mortgage with 50% back-load debt ratio?

You need to cut back on your spending, and with rent our your too-expensive house or walk away from your mortgage.
On the eleventh day he was probably wishing he had thought about getting some more rice or conserving what he had. Maybe I am missing the point of this poem.
I spend around 10% on rent, 10% on food, 5% on booze, 10% on gadgets, 5% on other expenses and another 10% on very high risk investments.
I have no debt and I'm single, so I save almost 50% each month.
PS: I live in India.
The spouse and I are both a tad into 6 figures

20% housing (includes mortgage, insurance etc)

2% Vehicles (both paid for, this is for gas and insurance)

5% student loans

10% Child Care

5% medical

5% gifts to parents

25% living expenses

6% 401k

~22% into non-retirement investments

Will be cutting back on quite a few of these categories come 2012 as we fall back to 1 salary.

Sad state of affairs. I agree its ok for Apps folks but it isn't even as good as Yahoo Groups in terms of implementation. Sad really because its a useful service.

That being said, looking at all the ways folks try to infiltrate PHP based forum groups using search engines to identify weak implementations I think its just part of the environment one has to live in.
I like CloudFoundry.com (have a beta account) and just signed up on a beta waiting list at AppFog. I am a huge fan of Heroku, but I do like options.

I also have an account on dotCloud.com, but I haven't done much with it yet.

Anyway, I want to better understand what my options are.

I used to really enjoy setting up my own servers (really!) but I got over that.
Google Chrome In-Browser Advertising
OK, so I've learned from this paper that this sort of paid postings to influence public opinion occur systematically by trained teams in China. But my praises end there.

I don't trust much their machine learning detection approach. But before we get into that, let's describe what they did. These researchers collected about 21,000 comments from a news site representing 552 users. The researchers then manually selected which of these 552 users they thought to be paid posters without any external confirmation. According to their methodology they assumed stupid comments or contradictory comments were by paid posters. The approach from here was to do lots of fancy math on novel comments not screened by the researchers, and make a classification on if these novel comments were by paid posters or not.

If you haven't guessed it by now, the flaw here is the researchers assigning which commenters they thought were paid or not, based on the stupidity of the comment. Its pretty easy to manually classify e-mail spam, but I'd have a hard time classifying a paid public opinion shill based on a comment. Furthermore, if the researchers are using the intelligence of the comment as a marker, my experience with youtube comments, r/politics, and a few other internet forums leads me to believe that there's no shortage of stupid, contradictory ideas espoused by real unpaid people.
This varies on a lot of things, especially housing which varies based on location (as does transportation).

But...

You should have a breakdown of that 45% (you might and you just don't want to share it, that's fine)..it's the biggest piece of the pie, and it's the most likely place to optimize.

Also, rather than think in terms of "what % should I save", you should think of it in terms of how much money you need to retire at the age that you want to.

You also seem to think of "savings" as putting money aside, which is wrong, wrong wrong. Do you pay more interest on your credit card or mortgage than you get from your savings? If so, you'll "save" more by paying those down first (of course, you need to understand your mortgage to know what you can and can't pay down).

Personally, I'd find 80% of my money going into housing and "other expenses" unacceptable. But, I live frugally, I no longer own a car (or the insurance, or the gas that goes with it), I know how to cook, I don't impulse buy (my Kindle 3 is going to last me for years), I no longer own a tv/cable.

And I hate to be one of those guys, but I can safely say that giving up a car and tv have caused huge gains in my productivity, health and happiness.

To answer your specific questions:
a - 25%: but, I live in Hong Kong, where the rent is stupid (but everything else is awesome cheap)
b - 0 (CC is automatically 100% paid every month), moving from owning to renting and giving up driving cleared me from any loans...happy days.
c - 25% on "other expenses"..which is more of an average due to spikes (like buying a new bed, moving, getting a new macbook).
I'm working abroad in Asia, no wife or kids, but hold an investment property back home.

Rent - 14%

Mortgage - 12%

Expenses - 11%

Tax - 6%

Entertainment - 10-25% (staying in drinking vs going out travelling)

Savings - 32-47%
I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks that Google could make a lot more money, and have a lot more impact, if they opened up the "core Google infrastructure" for [paid] uses by outsiders than Google AppEngine is ever going to get them.
Make $325k/yr, get finances by parents, and have no dependents. Yeah, that's a good way to stay afloat. Nice work if you can get it, indeed.
There's a very active iOS jailbreak community who should be able to confirm/deny this. They'd know by now how often iOS phones phone home, and what data they send
If I could come up with 1 question to ask people in order to find out whether they save enough or not, it would be:

What type of product are you using to save your money?

People who answer "a savings account" or "I invest with some guy" probably aren't saving enough, because they don't understand the fundamentals of personal finance.
It's true, but we would still be saving more than OP if we made $90k, and that's without the adjustments to our spending that we would no doubt make if our income fell so much.

Personally, I'm appalled that Google would reach into the browser for advertising. To me it's analogous to Microsoft bringing me pop ups in Windows to show me their new phones. I understand that the ad is small and unobtrusive, but it really feels like an invasion of sacred ground to me. I expect advertising when I venture out into the web, through the pages I request. I don't expect it injected directly into the programs I use.
belated response but:

> I did. I've grown up and moved on.

Belittling me as what, immature? for pointing out a completely valid part of history and philosophy, is hardly a compelling argument. I think you should read some more on philosophy to understand what I said better.

> I believe it's a universal truth

It's a self created concept of how people should be. By definition it can't be a universal truth. It isn't a scientific observation (like all your other examples). I don't believe it, and given it is a human concept, it isn't universal (else I'd believe it as well). Again, I suggest even a basic intro into philosophy.

> The world _is_ like that.

No it isn't. Most people in the world, live to survive, not any lofty notion of 'pursuit of happiness', or even a concept of "rights". Simply survival, by nature that is what most animals live for, you could perhaps say that is the universal truth (empirically), as that is what is observed.

> Note that where people have a chance to run their own affairs, live unafraid of their government, and etc they prefer it over the alternative.

An example would help illustrate the point? I think you'll find that throughout human history there has been very little example of 'human rights'. Even in modern times, a lot of "rights" are ignored by (possibly) every country. It is just a convenient and simple way to think about how societies should act. It is by no means the be and end all though.

I understand the want to be idealistic, and the draw to simple solutions. But consider the notion, that perhaps more people could have a better life without the notion of "rights". Perhaps there are other ways to think about this that is closer to human nature, or hold more benefits.
Short answer: the "hack" is to set a monthly budget and stick to it religiously.

In theory, if your savings account pays 2% and your loans charge 10%, you should put all your money into paying your debt. On the other hand, unless you have a very stable job you'd better have savings of at least 6 months worth of expenses.

You probably don't really need most of your home improvements. Unless you have serious problems like water leaks, you can always postpone those improvements to after you've paid your debts.

35% of your net income for mortgage is on the high side (average in US is about 33% of gross income). But it's probably not too bad for a family of 4 with only 1 income.

http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/26/pf/expert/ask_expert/index.h...

Your main problem might be in those 45% worth of "other" expenses. You need to break this down into something like:

a) essential recurrent expenses (food, commuting, school-related, etc). These shouldn't change much from month to month. And assuming your partner can cook, you shouldn't be spending too much on food.

b) non-essential recurrent expenses (cable, second car gas and maintenance, gym, etc). Rank those expenses in order of importance and start cutting them out.

c) non-essential one-off expenses (eating out, trips, buying gadgets, etc). Only do these if they fit in your budget in that month (or trimester, etc).
Let's raise some #ifdef from HELL (Sorry joking here, but working on such code base).
Well, there's debt and there's debt. Right now my wife and I have three major debts: mortgage (4%), student loans (4.5%), HELOC (1.75%) -- and those rates are all effectively lower because the interest is tax deductable. When you're talking those kinds of interest rates, I don't think it's unreasonable at all to put money into retirement accounts (especially if those too are tax advantaged and/or if your employer matches).

But yes, if you have any kind of credit card debt, you're probably paying 10% or more on that, and you should be paying that down (and not adding anything new!) with money you'd otherwise earmark for savings.
Retiring at 35 is an unrealistic goal unless you either inherited a bank or want to live under a bridge. Since you have one income and two kids, saving 3-5% is pretty good.

The easiest way to save money is to have it deducted from your paycheck and routed into a tax-advantaged account (e.g., 401(k)). There's no temptation to spend the money since you never see it. Your savings grow faster since the interest is not taxed. And your employer may match your contributions, which is free money.

If you're in an early-stage startup, that doesn't apply, of course.
And then sometimes, it's the only choice, especially if you are going on small devices - http://ecos.sourceware.org/

This is perhaps the most depressing response I've received to my article.

As I said in my article this is far less about git and more about the chasm that has grown between Apache and the rest of the community.

Your first two points boil down to "nobody makes you join Apache, if you don't like our policies then you can get out". How does this help Apache or its projects?

Apache could still be valuable to the community but this kind of stubborn attitude will insure that it continues to become irrelevant when it could be a leader.

I do understand the purpose of Apache and it is not hosting source code. That is the point I'm trying to make. If that is not its value, and its policies around hosting that source are no longer beneficial to its projects, then it should change its policy.

I think that you, and many people in the ASF, have married the existing policies of Apache with the purposes for which they were created. While the intentions of the policies may still be relevant, and in my opinion correct, the policies themselves will not remain relevant forever in a field as rapidly evolving as technology and GitHub may just be the first example of Apache policy incompatibility with evolution of open source.

Your sentiment is right, as is your focus on credit cards, but just to be clear: not all debt have higher interests rates than what you can earn. Specifically, student loans (which has has), tend to have very load rates. Also, I once had a mortgage at a stupid low interest rate..also with respect to mortgages, a lot of them have rules about how/when payments can be accelerated (if at all).
You seem to be arguing that a lot of work went into selling this piece of shit to the government, and so therefore, we the people, should pay for the cost of that selling too? I know that is how it works: I bribe a government official to buy my turd, and then they spend tax payer money to cover the cost of the turd, plus the cost of the bribe. But you seem to be saying that that is ok. o_O
I guess none of us should be surprised by this...But the real question is how do I get a government contract? What a joke...
My CC interest rate is 38% :) Sometimes I feel like paying everything but $1 just to see the interest charged..but I'm too lazy to stop the auto-payment system.

I put into savings whatever I have left at the end of the month. I don't worry about it too much.

Tarsnap is my retirement savings plan.
Every bank I have used will lock the account after a small number of failed attempts; sure it's a DoS, but that's the price you pay. You are right about the botnet work around, but if you have one you can just watch people logging in without needing to brute force anything! The real problem for people who break into bank accounts is where to transfer / spend the money that can't be traced.
How does that work? When you short, you immediately sell the shares you borrowed. Why aren't those shares available to be re-borrowed from the new owner? The only reason I can guess is that the new owner isn't connected to the liquidity system, which I would guess would have been a solved problem by now.
32 years old, married, one child (another on the way), living in the Bay Area renting a house.

My salary until May of this year was $120k. My wife is staying at home with our son so we're a single income family.

Monthly expenses..

Rent: $1750, student loans: $225, credit card: ≈$2,000 (paid off in full each month)

Savings...

We have about $50k in 401k, $50k in a brokerage account, $20k in Lending Club and some mid term savings in the bank around $5-10k.

I was having 15% post tax taken out for ESPP and 14% pre tax for 401k.

The only loans we have are about $17k for my wife's schooling. We started paying cash for the last 2 years of it.

We are pretty frugal in most areas which aren't important to us (don't go out to eat much) but it enables us to be generous in areas we are passionate about (paid $5k for a kid in Ghana to have heart surgery and gave my sister $12k as a gift since they're moving to do medical work in Africa). Our frugality also enabled me to quit my job and bootstrap a startup (going on 6 months at this point).

It's interesting because it's normal (I think) to look at others and feel poor. The truth is that no one knows what a person's finances looks like. The guy driving a Mercedes and wearing nice clothes may or may not be doing so well.

I wish people were more open about this stuff.
That is hugely impressive. I just tried it with crowd shots and it worked well. The only issue seemed to be with faces that weren't horizontally aligned.

Would love to read more about the process of moving the algorithm over to jQuery.
You should read the Dynamo paper: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2007/10/amazons_dynamo.h...

The ring is first explained in Section 4.2 Partitioning Algorithm.
One hack that I definitely find useful for saving money is to create different savings accounts for different purposes and putting a set amount in each on each month. For instance, I have a vacation savings account that I put $300 into every month; it becomes a repository of of cash I can use when I travel, and I can spend it in big bursts when I do. If that $300 month just sat there in my ordinary savings account, I'd probably find something else to spend it on.
This looks like a fork of Liu Liu's javascript library.

http://www.readwriteweb.com/hack/2010/11/face-detection-html...
Savings are huge and I think you should be putting more away each month. Liquidity is underrated.

Do this, stash 5% more of your money in your savings every month and try to live off the rest, keep doing that till you repeatedly have to go into your savings to finish out the month and you'll know how much you can absolutely not do without.

Also try not to use Credit cards. I haven't had one for years and I only spent what I had, now that I have one and pay the balance off each month (trying to rebuild my credit) I find that I spend about 20% more each month than I have to simply because I know I can cover it.

Hope it this helps.
I am not entirely sure what the article is trying to get at.
Politics and law in open source are real and needed, especially in the face of software patents.

Many contributors develop open source code as part of their paid work, as such it is quite important to establish the legal framework to allow contributing the companies IP to an open source project (which includes necessary patent grants). Comitters need to submit an Individual Contributor License Agreement stating that they have the legal right to contribute the code they're contributing. If worked on contributions as employee the company also typically needs to submit a corporate contributor license agreement.

Like it or not (and I personally do very much not like it), you cannot just upload some code somewhere these days.

As such the even FSF is an extremely important organization. Much frowned upon and usually not understood.
Open source licenses would not work without Copyright Law, most developers don't know or understand that.

And the whole thing of svn vs git. Personally I don't get it. I use svn when it makes sense and I use git when that makes sense, just like I use Java/Ruby/C++/Python/Javascript/Closure/Scala/whatever or GoogleDocs/PDF/OpenOffice/MS Word(yes) when needed.

The main feature I need from VCS are atomic commits. So CVS is out for me for that reason. Sure git's nice and all, but I spend 99.9% of my time writing or thinking about code and software architecture, not tinkering with my VCS, so as long as it works, I don't care.
Easy forking and branching is nice too. In the end, though, just as with Linux there is/are some de-facto master branch(es) somewhere from which "releases" are cut.

Currently with apache it's more convenient to use svn, so I do that.

I don't get the religious opposition against one version control system vs another.

Automatic Detection of Stupid Posters would also be acceptable.
I wonder how well this would work for automatically cropping user profile pictures. Anyone else try something like this?
I quit my job ~4 months ago (because I hated it, stupid big bank)...trust me, it's freaking awesome. I'll go back to work soonish, but not for lack of things to do.

Even though I love to code/work, your idea to "stop worrying and start living" and "why retire at 35" are a juxtaposition born of naivety (no offense)
Hmm - yeah, that's a really interesting concept.

Seems like the market is really fragmented - everything from traditional photo/vector graphics software (photoshop, illustrator), traditional wireframing (omnigraffle, etc), online wireframing (balsamiq) and even presentation software (keynote and powerpoint!)

Keynotopia seems like a smart move for those who tend to lean to the presentation side of things - though I'd find it hard to believe that a designer who likes (or is used to) working in illustrator or photoshop would want to start using keynote!
