I assume property tax revenues in CA are high mainly due to the high value of CA real estate, not that the rates themselves are high -- they're not high rates (compared to the East Coast, maybe 25-50%) and due to Prop 13, they're not at market rate on many properties.

CA tax is highly variable year to year -- 10.3% on capital gains (and other income) of rich people, largely happens based on business cycle factors. Same with corporate tax.

Actually, trade means a joined interest in making an exchange, since if both sides didn't see the exchange as in their own best interest they wouldn't be making the trade.

Actually, no. Countries are forced to trade all the time, despite their best interests. From the Opium Wars ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars ) to NAFTA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Free_Trade_Agree... ). Ask a citizen of any "banana republic" about it.

Moreover, trading relationships are not usually based on one-off trades. Which means that you'll want to trade again. Which means that getting into a war with the other party would be a bad idea.

In this naive worldview there are only two parties that trade. It also presumes, "getting into a war" means you don't get to trade anymore. Like, how Japan and Germany do not trade with the US after WWII, right? The only thing it means is that you get to dictate the terms for subsequent trading.

But the worst about this view is that it also presumes this traded material comes out of thin air: ie. it forgets that trade can lead to war for control of natural resources, trade routes, and, of course, markets.

Here's a funny story:

= = =

The Great Illusion is a book by Norman Angell, first published in Britain in 1909 and republished in 1910 and subsequently in various enlarged and revised editions under the title The Great Illusion. (The "Great Illusion" of the title was the belief that there would soon be another major and destructive European war.)

According to John Keegan "Europe in the summer of 1914 enjoyed a peaceful productivity so dependent on international exchange and co-operation that a belief in the impossibility of a general war seemed the most conventional of wisdoms. In 1910 an analysis of prevailing economic interdependence, The Great Illusion, had become a best-seller; its author Norman Angell had demonstrated, to the satisfaction of almost all informed opinion, that the disruption of international credit inevitably to be caused by war would either deter its outbreak or bring it speedily to an end."

= = =

We know how that one ended.

All this reminds me of a quote by the late philosopher Robert Nozick, who defined "Marxist exploitation" as "the exploitation, by Marxists, of people's ignorance of economics."*

Yeah, except most marxists have also studied thoroughly traditional and liberal economists of their time, from Ricardo and Smith to Hayek and Friedman. Including Marx himself, who was a walking encyclopedia of political economy. Criticizing something does not mean you are ignorant about it. While not a Marxist, I'm with the camp that calls the entrenched political economy a "dismal science", 90% ideology and 10% applied mathematics.

Correction: behavior design matters and is a great challenge for our established banking system, which only wants to deal in Big Money (much like how many start-ups now only want to deal in Big Data).

OK, so Hindu isn't that "strange", but I tend to doubt very many Hindus have swastika tattoos without also falling into the "strange-religion-guy" circle on the Venn diagram...

(But I also fail because of the "not every neo-nazi has a swastika tattoo either" thing...)

There's a reasonable argument that even trashy books have value as reading practice. Most humans have no problem finding enough spoken interaction to practice listening (although I definitely watched mediocre television in foreign language to practice...)

(I'd be fine with no government funding for libraries in general; it seems like something which should be privately or charity funded to keep them safe from censorship and political control.)
Good advice. I'm also curious if you may want to present slightly different versions of your resume to different employers, for example by changing emphasis on particular technology or hiding unrelated project.

If you're going to use JS, you're not allowed to change things like this. It just causes problems for people.

Easy solution, use CoffeeScript and have it compile down to JS. My favorite feature of CoffeeScript is the ruby/python line conventions spacing (2 spaces, no tabs), and no semicolons.

They're already compiling the CSS from Less. Seems natural to add CoffeeScript to the chain.
I think Reddit is on the right track, but needs to go a little further. To effectively protect children from predators, we need to stop allowing any depiction of children (either real or cartoon) in media, because i bet there are degenerates out there that will use any pictures of children they can get their hands on to masturbate with!

I think child sexual abuse and exploitation of any sort is despicable and should be given zero-tolerance, just as any sexual thoughts about children should also be illegalized. As we now know, all pedophiles are predators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse#Pedophilia), and need to be locked up to protect society!

Alarmingly, between 3-9% of the current general population are likely pedophiles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia#Prevalence_and_child...), and those who haven't molested a child yet will do so soon!

People who commit sexual thoughtcrimes about children are monsters, and need lots of psychiatric drugs and therapy to either change their sexuality or just stop it altogether. If that doesn't work we really need to get these people off the streets and into mental institutions permanently ASAP, just as soon as they confess they have these thoughts to a mental health professional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia#Civil_commitment)

Some religious researchers out there that have made significant progress in curing gayness in some people, and we should be able to use the same techniques to cure pedophilia, at least for those that want to be helped.

And just as we now know that watching rape porn and reading rape erotica are a gateway to real-life rape, lolicon and erotic drawings of children are a gateway to child abuse, so it's a good thing those have also been illegalized (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protect_Act)! Imagine, some pedophilia advocates have tried arguing that fantasy and drawings don't harm anyone, when they so obviously cause future crimes by legitimizing deviant sexuality.

If we can institutionalize this mere 1/20 to 1/10 of the world population, and hopefully cure them so we don't have to keep them locked away forever, our children will be safe again, from all actual and possible crimes.

Taking such hardline stances will hopefully also make the next generation of youngsters think twice before they choose to become attracted to children themselves during puberty.
You're probably past the point where this sentence is useful. Did you often thought about that ? Most people didn't.
I agree with the sentiment that it's all about pageviews. The people who focus on the company and get to spend time to write on it are usually analysts rather than journalists or bloggers. They're goal is not pageviews because the content is usually not geared towards mass market and would be focused at niche audiences.
Thanks for drawing my attention to this. Currently, I maintain a separate branch simply for adding the missing semicolons so that I can link the individual bootstrap files with my project. It's been quite annoying and I now know that the annoyance may not go away anytime soon.

I hate these ideologues. But this is the trouble with JS I guess. I actually love javascript because of the highly dynamic nature of it. But that dynamism also lends itself to these kind of problems. I don't know of any other language where people can CHOOSE to follow syntax. Part of the problem is the awkward interpreter specs I guess. But also, with JS seems like everyone has an opinion :)

Ask HN: How do you find a technical cofounder?
I've had a start-up idea. I've been coding as my life allows on it. However, before I can go around really pitching or trying to raise funds, I need at least one cofounder.

My college friends are, frankly, mostly happily employed or in graduate school. Our university had/has a good culture of academic research, but basically no start-up culture, so I lack the usual College Friends who Want to Start-up a Company.

I'm also in Massachusetts (quantum superposition of Western Mass for fiancee and college friends with Eastern Mass for living in a city and finding a new job) rather than San Francisco.

Ask HN: Paypal Messup, Missing money from account. What next?
I am facing some extremely unpleasant time with paypal.

I transferred $2402 to my bank account on 19th January. The money is still not in my bank, after 25 days. I have called paypal 3 times in the last 25 days and have heard no convincing resolution on this. No written communication from Paypal after the calls.

Additionally $300 went missing from my account - mostly in between all the CR DR transactions. I have carefully looked into the USD conversions - still there is a clear mismatch and paypal accepted this orally & written.

If I have to sue them and the partner bank in India - is it going to give me any benefit at all for all the stress? What should I do?

More likely than that, for the average user, is the fact that every contribution to a free, search engine indexed content site is 'unpaid work' and your content becomes the product that brings in new visitors and interest who search for the startup/web terms we all use.

Of course if you support a site, you'll be happy to help promote it. But what happens when you change your opinion on a matter that becomes important/illegal in the public eye, without the option to remove your now-offending content? Or if you plain just want to stop supporting a site? If people are guarded when making comments because of this risk, is the free service improved or worsened?

Email, picture or opinion, make no bones about it - our content is always product in some way. Content lock-in should rarely be tolerated. I'm surprised it is here, TBH. I happen to greatly appreciate this community, but I in no way agreed to give ownership of my thoughts in return for the right to interact. I'd rather pay with a content export/removal option than hand over the sum total of what little wisdom I have.
You don't need to use it. It will work fine, as before.

Hmm. What kind of industry does Iceland have that requires 'physicists, programmers and engineers'? With a population in the hundreds of thousands, smaller than even medium sized cities in most countries, how much opportunity is/was there for these people? It's not even big enough to sustain a serious university, let alone a real r&d environment. Using Iceland as an example for other countries is usually fallacious, because it's so unique.

Wikipedia relies on primary sources. So at some point, whether it was academic, national, or local, a library was used to acquire some of those sources.

Anyway, wikipedia relies on sourced research, which requires people that know how to do research. And this was taught...at the library (You'll have a hard time finding Basic Research Methods 101 in any university catalog).

When someone says that wikipedia can replace libraries I immediately want to shake somebody violently. Please understand that wikipedia isn't a primary source. Jimmy never intended it to replace them. They'll give you a topical understanding and a list of ISBN numbers at the bottom of the page. Now you can go to the library and using your freshly acquired ISBN numbers check out the books you actually need.
I think the main problem is that we are in general unaware of what others do not know. I think we all extrapolate that if we know something, others must also. I'm not sure if that is a great self-centered reflective view we all take or simply optimism for our fellow man. Either way, I find that opportunities are missed because of this. I have many colleagues who are experts in their field but believe that what they know is simply common sense.
I don't get what the issue is. I run bootstrap js through the closure compiler (with minification and optimization) and it works just fine. I don't agree with the policy myself, I prefer semicolon, but I also prefer CoffeeScript. That said, if Fat wants to remove it, that is his choice, leave him alone. Update: Just read his blog posting. If Fat really wanted the minimalist approach, he'd use coffeescript and then people would bug him over that choice instead. ;-)

Don't get me started on that. Academics snub their noses at 'businesses', that's for slimy 'business people', academics don't stoop to that level. Maybe if it's called a 'spin off', and if they're guaranteed to receive a salary for a part time position for at least a few years. At the same time of course, that grant money needs to keep coming in! Those cheap alumni should donate more, with their fat paychecks, and of course the government should spend more on research! Just tax companies more, they don't do anything useful anyway!

(Yes I'm bitter, sometimes. And yes I know that there are exceptions. And things are changing - even if very slowly.)

Oh, thanks. I was starting to feel weird because nobody was saying anything about the lack of tests.

HN may or may not work as a code review platform, but I don't think I would use myself a 3rd party software that doesn't provide tests.
Awesome, but repeats pretty quickly.

Idea: extend vocab with pitches of actual startups. Bonus: by chance, it will occasionally regurgitate those; and perhaps some good, not yet existing ones...

EDIT not exact repeats, just the same keywords. EDIT2 I think it was just some bad luck; it's repeated much less often just now.

BTW: clever to seed rand with the permalink code, and generate with deterministic random numbers. I was wondering how you did the mapping.
XSLT + XHTML + JDK6 + JDK7 = madness
Thanks, that was a great answer.

Convinced me to do just that, take my handfull of "web 1.0" sites that focus on 2 verticals (and to answer the original question of this thread: that earn me some 2K USD a month in advertisement without doing anything) and build a collection of services around them.
Yea, why hate on people who take advantage of and mislead uninformed newcomers to the Rails community by selling them existing free software that is trivial to set up, all the while passing it off as their own?

Maybe because some people believe in honest businesses, and not ripping off end users for a quick buck. I say mislead and rip of, because the site is presented as if the work done is novel, when it is not. Why is it that links to the libraries used are conveniently omitted? Shouldn't Bootstrap, Stripe, and KISSmetrics' codebases be linked somewhere so that users can see what it is they are getting, if they want to do it themselves?

That said, I think I will take you up on that replicating challenge. You are certainly right that someone should undercut the market before they make any undeserved money off the work of others.
Hi! Welcome to Hacker News, please add something more substantive than just reaffirming the post above yours. Posters like me want to actually read posts that are informative, insightful, etc. So we would unfortunately downvote posts like yours for not adding to the discussion.

If you have managed to contact actual PayPal representatives and can show them clearly, without innuendo, the issues that have transpired, you should be able to get the situation rectified.

"There are many vectors of smartness in both magnitude and direction. Some of the smartest people I've ever known never went to college."

This is true, however your comment makes it seem you ascribe to the romantic idea that everybody is good at something. The harsh reality is that the magnitude of the vectors in not independent: some people are smart in almost every way and some people are dumb in every way. I've had to good fortune of attending one of the top US schools and I can relate to the feeling of meeting people where you seriously wonder if there is anything you could outsmart them on. I very much agree with the gist of your post though, and the other points you make.

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing this. I was kinda hoping that the missing semicolons were just an oversight on the bootstrap teams part.
