As time went on, and the buildings appreciated in value during a real estate boom -- loans from the mortgage company allowed the owners to "strip mine" the equity from the buildings. This is a common slumlord modus operandi -- they suck money out of a building rather than put money back in for maintenance.

Strip mining the equity? It's their building, isn't it? Seems to me that if someone wants to own a pile of cash and a worthless building instead of owning a well-maintained building, that's a business decision they should be entitled to make.
As an aside, I randomly bumped in to Steve Wozniak while in San Francisco and he's a really nice guy.
Great to see someone in the US offering free education. Shame it has to be Angel and not State funded though.
1 billion 64-byte IOPS = 64GB/sec

No, Woz is an investor in Fusion I/O from before they went public. It's unclear what he does/did on the product side.
Prediction tools are a big part of it. The US government publishes global wind data every 6 hours, as well as tools that can be used to parse and process this data. We've done a bunch of scripting on top of that to automatically email, sms, and tweet launch opportunities. The team doing the predictions is too busy/lazy to upload their code to our github account(https://github.com/whitestarballoon/), and that's the only reason it isn't open source.

We can drop ballast to maintain altitude, but we don't have any other control. As a result, we must wait for the winds.

(You can see an example prediction feed here: https://twitter.com/WSBFlightPath Cryptic, but it's meant for the launch team).

The Japanese balloons were examples of exquisite analog engineering. The Army made a great video documenting their construction and operation (available here: http://www.archive.org/details/gov.archives.arc.13084).
You should check out the "Michigan left" which is being increasingly implemented around the country. A Michigan left prevents backup by having people turn right and then do a U-turn further down the road at a designated area.
"I feel that the only way I can advance my current position is by getting other job offers, but I don't want to be that guy."

Have you talked to your manager about this? It can be difficult to bring it up but if you like the place, people, and work that you are doing and money is the only problem, then you need tell your boss just that (literally, say, "Boss, I love working here, I love the people, I love the work, but I have a problem. I'm underpaid for my skill level and the contributions I have made here. Is there anything we can do about that?"). Sometimes they can do something about it but they haven't because they didn't realize they needed to. Seriously.

Sometimes they can't do anything about it and they will tell you. Only then you start looking for another job.

Where can one get a database of IP locations any more? ipinfodb no longer offers a download of their data.
Two scenarios that I can see:

Without SOPA: Let's pretend that there is an innovative site that is going to be made in a few years that allows people to submit things to it and sell. This site gives some creative person a chance to make a full living. (this is actually happening now in many places)

With SOPA: Two options: Site either does not get created at all because of fear of creating sites that might cross SOPA at some point or this site gets taken fully off the internet because some other user on it posted some sort of infringing material for an indefinite period of time. in either case the creative person is out of luck with respect to making a living from their creative work.
The title of the article is correct, the content doesn't really do the title justice.

You don't NEED a co-founder. If you have one, great, get going.

If you don't have one, great. Just do it, get to work, build your dream.

Who's to say your cofounder is going to be as committed as you are when times get hard? When it really comes down to it, you can't trust anyone to be as committed as you to your company except yourself.
No, SOPA will only favor the people who take their cut from selling the work of the creatives. Metallica never lost a dime from Napster, the artists make all their money from touring, the Record label itself makes money from record sales. If only there were some mechanism where creatives could market and distribute to the masses on their own, they could cut out the middle men distributors who support SOPA..... ... ..
I suppose it depends on whether you think the person "strip mining" the building should be allowed to expose the building's tenants to raw sewage and high levels of lead, and not pay their utility bills.

Are you saying that the computers are inferior to the books as a resource for "iteracy, knowledge, research, ideas and creativity"?

Pound for pound, inch for inch, and dollar for dollar, the computers are better than the books.
I built a open-source version similar to this library for my own use using javascript browser checks and the google jsapi geocoding. It's on github at https://github.com/codejoust/visitor.js.
I have attended a few sessions of Hacker School, not living in NYC + having a full time job limited me to only visiting but it was a great experience. People are very energetic about learning and teaching. I hope it is very successful.
It seems likely the people creating South Park (and not just Trey and Matt) would be pro-SOPA. After all, most people in the entertainment sector see it as a threat. (Yes, we may argue that South Park is popular because of the Internet.. but it's entirely likely they'd see it a different way.)
It's sensationalized headlines like this that ruin something that is inherently good but has been bastardized by peoples needs to be super good at everything they do!

Yoga will not wreck your body - doing it wrongly will. Just like driving drunk can get you killed - doing yoga without understanding it - and knowing what your bodys own limits are will get you killed too.

Anything powerful is always double edged. The author in fact highlights example that prove just that - people who overdo their yoga (the kid who sat in a pose praying for world peace for days) - or jump into it to quickly without any checks or training (the guy who popped his ribs) will definitely wreck themselves.

BUT - so will first time swimmers who decide to try swim across the english channel. Or amateur weightlifters who decide to benchpress twice their bodyweight on the first go. Putting out an article like this just scares people off from something that is inherently good - rather than making them more aware of the fact that its good - but ONLY if used correctly.

I started yoga in India as a kid. The ashram I went to is in Bombay and I was not allowed to start anything without a certificate from a doctor saying I was physically sound - the ashram itself also had a doctor at hand who did yet another check - specific to yoga and had me fill out a full medical history. Based on this history the doctor selected very basic exercises and marked them out in a little book that I was provided. The trainer had me do just those exercises (relaxation exercises, simple leg raises and basic stretches) for almost a month - before I could do them without any trouble - before he moved on to slightly more challenging positions, also again with the approval of the inhouse doctor. Those years of yoga helped me tremendously to overcome some health issues I had - and I am sure there are plenty more out there who's lives have been enriched by yoga.

This is how yoga should be done - and was done through the years - there were people who knew what it was about and had practiced for decades before they started teaching others.

However, as is typical to the consumerization of anything in this world - people try to industrialize things and take short cuts to make a quick buck. We have fancy sounding forms of yoga like hot yoga or power yoga that try to create the fad of the season. Folks do a few months of training in yoga and become "instructors" and charge money to train people in exercises that they really should not be training.

I'd rephrase that article - and say that yoga is great and if done correctly can actually save lives (especially in the overstressed obese and sedentary societies we live in these days). However being the powerful skill that it is - it must be handled with care by people trained and experienced.

TL;DR - Yoga is not bad, people who are doing too much too fast or "teaching" new fancy forms of yoga with no real sound backing are ruining the experience for over enthusiastic beginners who dont get that it has to be taken slow. Do yoga its good for you - but make sure someone who knows what your conditions are and what yoga is all about is teaching you!
I read the claims. That's still not an invention.
They used a cluster of servers.
Googling for "dark" and "ManualulIngineruluiMecanic" shows a lot of user/password pairs. I'm guessing something is just going off of a list of previously leaked usernames/passwords.
It strikes me that even the problems that DNSSEC and SSL certificates are supposed to solve haven't yet been defined clearly.

From how I understand the technologies (and correct me if I'm wrong), DNSSEC basically says "the server you are talking to is run by the legitimate owner of the domain, as far as the DNS itself is concerned". SSL certificates say "one organization out of a more or less random collection of hundreds of organizations says that the server you are talking to is run by the legitimate owner of the domain".

In reality, the question that interests me most, most of the time is this: Is the server that I am talking to still being controlled by the same person or organization who controlled it when I talked to it the last time?

If the answer is yes, I will be happy to continue talking to it. If the answer is no, I have a problem that simply cannot be solved easily and automatically.

I feel that this is much closer to how we intuitively understand trust. When we meet somebody the first time, we are sceptical and not trusting too much, though obviously this is influenced by a lot of cultural heuristics. Over time, we simply know how much we trust the people we know, and our biological face recognition is usually good enough that we cannot be tricked. The main task for the browser should be to provide a similar assurance that we cannot be tricked when it comes to servers.

There is the separate problem of establishing trust the first time I visit a server. But how I want to deal with this situation depends entirely on the kind of trust I'm dealing with.

Am I looking at an online store where I might leave some money? In that case, I'd really like some stamp of approval from an independent customer protection association - what security does a random CA provide, given how many root CAs are typically installed by default?

Am I looking at my new bank's online banking interface for the first time? In that case, couldn't the bank just give me a throwaway USB key which contains a fingerprint that I can use to establish trust?

Am I looking at the site of someone I met in real life? Couldn't we exchange fingerprints similar to GPG key signing?

Am I looking at some random guy's blog or forum? In that case, what trust do I need to establish in the first place? The only thing I would be looking for is what I mentioned above: that when I visit the site the next time, I can be assured that I am still talking to the same organization, so that passwords cannot be stolen.

None of this is easily done today, but it should be possible to come up with a good UI for it. Of course, that's me. How to explain that to a person who would rather not think about these issues at all is another question. Perhaps that's one of those cases where, like with driving, the real solution is to fix the education system.
It's important to note that not all revenue is tracked by Apple (and hence realized in Top Grossing), much as they've been trying to take 30% of everything.
Many free (and even paid!) apps make a very, very large amount of money off of both third-party in-app advertising and revenue/placement tie-in offers (i.e. "put my product in your game, make $$$").

So while this article is a good plug for A Thinking Ape it's important to note that "freemium via IAP" is not the only "freemium" iOS app model and certainly not the only way to generate revenue, and hence the Top Grossing list is not an accurate summary of the actual top grossing apps or developers across any given year.
This looks awesome, but I'm surprised it's in NYC. What advantages (if any) does that have over SF/SV?
the link's so good it's even included in the article.
So half of it is not even relevant to OO, a third is an indictment of Java and Java alone and rest is OO not being to the author's taste.

And that's in a 15 months old post which somebody somehow decided was worth (re)posting.

What a waste of time.

I'm starting a new job in less than a week that I got through a recruiter. I was cold LinkedIn-ed and was initially skeptical because I've had bad experiences in the past. But this time was different and I'm really glad that I followed through.

My recruiter was helpful and remained at all times respectful of my time and my goals. She never pushed me to interview with companies I wasn't interested with, and she gave me some really valuable advice about how to sell myself as a less experienced and junior programmer. And regarding compensation, she was able to help me negotiate for a lot more than I thought I was going to be able to ask for.

I'm obviously not that experienced, but I think there definitely are some good recruiters out there who can be really helpful in certain situations. In my case the relationship happened to be extremely beneficial, partly because of my inexperience but also because it was just good timing.
I was in batch[1] and worked while doing HS. The plan was to work two days a week, but it quickly turned into two days a week for 10 hours plus some time in the evening after HS and some time on Sundays. But after 3 months, I learned two new programming language (JavaScript and Go), messed around with jQuery (before HS I couldn't even write an ajax request; that's how afraid of front-end development I was), contributed to a framework(http://brubeck.io/), put out my first pypi distribution (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/recurlib now deprecated, but still), wrote my first real-time web app (https://github.com/jordanorelli/chatify), twice (https://github.com/jordanorelli/gochat), met some of the most interesting people I know, and came out with a number of new friends. Oh, and in that off time, I also wrote a startup(http://barkbox.com/). Was it easy? Fuck no. I had no life outside of programming while it was going on, and I promptly took a much-needed rest from programming over the holiday break. It's difficult and definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you're willing to take three months to do nothing but code, it can be done. Thanks to HS, I'm a significantly stronger developer now than I was three months ago.

Would I change anything if I had to do it all over again? Well, I'd probably have started looking at Go and JavaScript a bit earlier ;)
No, negotiate salary to get it as high as possible, then vacation time to get as much as possible, then stock options, then 401k match, etc., etc. With each one make sure they know that is the most important thing to you, so they think that if they give you more on one item they can make it up by not giving you as much on the next one. Of course then the next one becomes the most important thing in the world to you...

Of course, that's used-car buying tactics, so be careful. If you are talking to an HR guy it might be fine to make him mad, but sometimes I feel uncomfortable pushing that hard on my future manager like that.

28c3: How governments have tried to block Tor
The fact that there's so much downvoting is a nasty sign of the kind of society you're talking about taking shape right here and now. I'm appalled by it. Seems like the Klan's out in force on HN tonight.
Techies like DMCA? I hope not.

The anti-circumvention provisions are ridiculous. Decrypting a DVD you own is illegal - even posting a link to circumvention software is enough to violate the DMCA. Web sites got C&D orders for hosting a number. Dmitry Sklyarov was arrested for writing software. If those examples don't seem ludicrous enough, there are plenty more.

How? with SOPA you are enabling the copyright holders to go after apple's entire distribution center because someone cloned tetris and the owners of tetris came after apple with an infringment claim. This takes down all of distribution not just the clone. Since the distribution is over the internet and name resolution is based on dns this is actually possible. unless apple changes it to be static IP addresses it would shut things down. (which would hurt scalability and end user experience because they couldn't load balance easily).

Just think about this, your revenue as an iOS dev could be culled because someone in the app store ecosystem infringed. How is that a good way to combat piracy? The pirates are going to pirate no matter what road block you set up.
> Every one of those is an abstract component. Making up an abstract system. There are no algorithms, no methods, no inventions. It's a collection of abstract ideas.

It's unclear why you think that "abstract" ideas shouldn't be patentable or aren't useful knowledge.

Suppose you were the first person to conceive of a wheel, which is surely something where disclosure would be of great value to the rest of us.

What would be acceptable-to-you claim language for a wheel?

Mine would be something along the lines of a description of the distance between the closest point on the axle and some point on the contour of the wheel, which is pretty abstract.
if you look closely at the project there is an api already, keep an eye out in the wiki for api docs, coming soon.
People are entitled to make that decision, but they are not entitled to also rent out an "uninhabitable" building while doing so (or to avoid paying utilities). The slum lords here juggled ownership between different LLCs in order to avoid that little problem.

Great concept and very cool design!
Two suggestions for improvement:

- Let users play and organize before they have to log in

- The home page was a bit confusing to me, as it didn't have a very clear distinct "call to action" (read "the big red fez" by Seth Godin to understand more about that, over 10 years old and still very relevant).
If you're a good negotiator, Y won't be your ideal salary X, but more along the lines of 1.3*X. The basic tenet of negotiation is that both sides are understood to start from a position that is unacceptable for the other side.

It is funny that you mention Eloi and Morlocks. Just last night I caught a few taped television commercials and was wondering who their target audience could possibly be. I brought up the concepts of Eloi and Morlocks and a cultural, intelligence, and eventual genetic divide.

I don't intend to sound elitist, but some of the TV commercials were so ridiculous and predatory that I figured they must be aimed at a group of people with low intelligence. This immediately made me think of the Eloi and Morlocks from Time Machine.

I found the concept quite sad. I wondered if that was how the homo sapiens felt about neanderthals? It seems a situation that is ripe for predation. Perhaps we are headed down the same path.

I wouldn't expect that at all. Can you explain why you think that?

And even if that were true, it's not automatically a good thing. iOS developers might end up better off through eating into consumer surplus, rather than creating more aggregate value.
This happens at a smaller scale all the time, too. One example that stood out at me was my local grocery store's store-brand salsa (which is surprisingly good). Used to go for $2/bottle. After a while, they bumped the price up to $3/bottle, and then put it "on sale" for $2/bottle. No idea if it increased sales at all, but that "sale" has been a permanent fixture ever since.

People's perception of prices can be really malleable, so it can pay off a lot to have a high price in a location where people will be expecting the price to be better than usual.
