AFAIK, there are several startup "epicenters" in the Bay Area and San Jose is generally not one of them.
San Francisco SOMA and Financial districts are home to a number of startups.
Larger Software companies are sprinkled all over Bay Area though.

If you are planning to move, I recommend researching the some of the top companies u might want to work for and then look around for areas that might reduce your commute to a minimum.
The parties who have something to lose are credit card processors and merchants who could have payments refuted. I'm going to guess processors are pretty happy that its the federal budget paying their security bills and not them.
I would argue making people feel safer (or comfortable) to fly is a benefit they are willing to trade in for whatever might happen. They have nothing to lose. If they don't do the "theatrics" people might choose to fly less due to a perceived lack of security effort. So, in the meantime, while the theatrics maintain a semblance of security, the airline industry gets the benefit of doubt.

Once the bubble is burst, that'd be another issue. Still, I think people will rationalize it as "well, we got X years use out of the system."

Out of curiosity, what _do_ you think has accounted for the safety record? Obviously you don't believe the theater has helped. At the same time I don't believe that people (AQ) have not been plotting against transportation assets. I would ask, why would they abandon that path, if they thought the theater was just theater? Are there other mechanisms keeping them at bay?

Additionally, even if the theater contributed nothing to security and all the heavy lifting was accomplished by other means -intel, profiling, whathaveyou, the theater would act as a signal to travelers that something was being done. It would be the customer-facing expression of the work being done behind the scenes --a kind of proxy so that what's actually being done --methods and so forth could remain opaque.
I think we can stop worrying. Facebook has a detection mechanism for these false / forced likes :-) http://i.imgur.com/qf7VQ.png
It is easy for me to misunderstand what you could mean by, "Here's hoping the next war will fulfill your expectations!" I've met a lot of people who would say something like that with hate in their heart. But I've been promoted by people who would say something like that in earnest. Perhaps you'd like to be more explicit? I would also be interested in your perspective on strategic necessity as it relates to both global and domestic concerns.
This is hard for me to understand with the abbreviated commands.

Actually, these tips for PHP coding cannnot guarantee improving efficiency in every project. For different apps,some of these tips may be very useful.For example, I was involved in one of the H.264 decoder development, some of the tiny operations would be run thousands times when decoding a video clip, even a small optimization improved the peformance largely.
That may be so. Where I live, in SF, they make no difference (there are seconds indicators on the crosswalks --they do not change at the pressing of the button). Nor does pressing them at a crosswalk in the stop phase change normal traffic light phase change.

Here is some info: http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/02/10/placebo-buttons/
> And it's not a free market. In a free market, the consumer can walk away from a purchase. Most times individuals or small businesses need a lawyer, they are in no position from walking away. They need a lawyer. And they need to stop spending time searching, and get on with resolving.

You're conflating two different concepts. You're talking about transaction costs (not being able to walk away once you've hired a lawyer). Markets with high transaction costs can still be free, in the sense you can choose whatever lawyer you want and supply and demand aren't artificially restricted.[1] Markets with high transaction costs are, on the other hand, not efficient.

[1] Supply in the legal field is regulated, but I'd argue it's supply in corporate law is not artificially restricted to any substantial degree.
That's an interesting hypothesis, but I can't find any source to confirm or contradict it offhand. The part I took the quotes from only mentions that the order of dealloc'ing objects in a collectable object tree is undefined, as is the thread on which dealloc is called. Both of those are easy to keep in mind while implementing dealloc, though. If a resource has to be freed from a particular thread, then dealloc can schedule it to be released on the right thread using GCD. The non-deterministic order of dealloc'ing would rarely be a problem for releasing resources. After all, if a resource is only used via a particular object, and that object is dealloc'ed, then clearly it's okay to release that resource! Perhaps there are complicated cases where resources have to be released in a particular order, but that's no reason to give up RAII for simple cases.
I didn't realise they had any reputation left to be damaged.
Have to agree. I mean, I probably count as the tail end of that generation, at least in terms of actual programming (though I sort-of-fondly remember the joys of SUBSTing drive letters for games in DOS when I was five or six...), but I do definitely remember 80x25-and-that's-all-you-get (heck--QBasic, anybody?). I have been to the land of stone knives and bearskins, and I am so very grateful we don't still live there.

My naive understanding is that only lawyers can own and operate a law firm. In other words one can't form the equivalent of an HMO and hire a bunch of lawyers and pay them a salary and offer legal counsel to individuals.

I believe this is mandated by bar associations on ethical grounds, though I find it absurd. This artificially inflates the cost of legal services.

I wasn't addressing you at all. In fact, I thought you were talking about someone else entirely.

Regardless, as an outsider peering inside, it does seem a bit strange. One of the things effecting my perception is the simple question I ask myself looking at posts like the one you describe. "Does this have any chance of making money?"

Because if it doesn't, I always wonder what the motivation was for making a service for which there are 50 implementations already. I've probably written under 500 lines of code in my life, because I can't justify it to myself to build an application nobody needs, even for practice.

At any rate, the "hack" itself is it's own sort of art. With an almost intangible feeling of delight when executed successfully. I can't really quantify it myself to be honest. And I've only experienced it once.

TL;DR: The short answer is, people here find that stuff fun.

PS. Quit trolling HN.

I had no idea he was behind HTS, but I guess it makes sense. I came across it way back in the day on 711chan, and I suspect there's some overlap between those folks and the ones doing legwork for Anon.
I was reading that with an open mind and then I saw the logo at the bottom.

Disk device level replication like DRBD, plus a failure control framework like Linux Heartbeat, goes a long way in providing HA cluster for database. Since the replication and failover are at the device level, the solution works with any disk-based system, including databases.

In my experience, failure can be detected in seconds and switched over. Adding a reverse ARP setup to share a virtual IP for the clustering servers, the clients won't even have to talk to a different IP in the case of failover. The only case the clients need to handle is to retry upon failed connection, which they should have handled to deal with the occasional network failure.

I once got "sharp weapons" (a manicure kit) through London's Heathrow airport.

I was connecting from Shanghai and had stupidly left a souvenir manicure kit in my bag... they found it, but after some pleading allowed me to keep it.

As per usual, I picked up a bottle of liquor at the duty free in Shanghai before I left...

Not sure if I was meant to inform them I was connecting, or they simply forgot to do their jobs... but apparently I was meant to have my liquor in a sealed "official duty free" bag when I landed at heathrow.

Long story short, I got the full attention of about 10 security officers when checking through security in Heathrow. They were entirely concerned with the liquor I had purchased in shanghai, and were so vocal about the whole thing that I personally witnessed the xray machine man turn around and see what the problem was.

Everybody was trying to be the next big hero, when the only problem was I didn't have the right security bag, and who knows what else I might have had in my carry on? (Hint: I had "weapons", I mean nailclippers).

Not between Wallet AND Checkout, but in integrating the Wallet "system" with a system of POS-purchased gift cards. I expect that since Google is trying to get its arms around what is left of Checkout, and what is being built with Wallet, that adding in another big implementation of payments (prepaid cards that people will probably work hard to defraud) is not what they're super-excited to tackle.
Windows 8 App Store - the APPX download API is secure
Interesting. If that's true, then Dwolla comes off very very badly here.

Look, I understand their position: They're a young and hungry startup, they have an awesome plan, and it doesn't quite work; they end up needing to pass the chargebacks on. I'm okay with that. But it needs to be communicated to their clients, with a date (and not in the past) when the change will take place.

If they changed it without clear communication (or, worse, announces the change retroactively) then they've screwed over their customers, and may well be legally liable. And that brings us to the press release, dated today, where Dwolla is claiming that "we’ve always had something in our terms of service about chargebacks since Day One." In other words, they're saying there was never a change - and if your information is correct, then this is a boldfaced brazen lie that destroys all credibility they might ever have had[1]. I kind of hope you're wrong. :(

[1]: Alternatively, they could be playing word games - maybe they had "something" in their TOS since day one. After all "no chargebacks" is "something", right? In which case they still have destroyed all credibility they might ever have had. And I don't think I'm exaggerating here; so far Dwolla is doubling down and claiming that they've done nothing wrong. Either they're completely right and everyone else is wrong, or their reputation is toast.
Providing an explicit choice is rarely a good idea.

They just want to contact you somehow, they don't want to click mailto: and then have to configure their browser or something.

A solution might be to provide a contact form, but in the header of the form also note that it will send email to someone@somewhere.com. Make the email address a link, and savvy users will know to click on it.
Facebook automatically detects Cursor:none abuse trick for Facebook 'likes'
Yes, thanks for your courage in fighting government tyranny.
I'm not saying you're a bad person. Hell, I've done plenty of unethical stuff in my time. But generating fraudulent views is a clear abuse of the system. You're simply rationalising it away.
SSL would have solved that.

I'm perturbed by the number of hackers getting taken down who blather on about their personal lives, use a VPN with no encryption and think it's safe, and still manage to break into these rather large systems. Either they're skilled but reckless and cavalier, they're idiots and security everywhere is a joke, or both.

Not sure which of those scenarios is more disturbing. Either way, I suspect that, in the wake of these latest arrests, we'll see both better opsec from Anon, as well as an increased focus on security from those who are likely to be targets. In the meantime, I'll get 15 messages on my facebook wall saying, "see who's visited your profile!"

Well every other operator is infix, so it's not really that inconsistent. " " (space) selectes descendents, ">" selects children, "+" selectes next-siblings and so on. The weird feeling of "/{attr}/" is probably just that the operator is variabel on the name of the attribute, which can't be avoided by any syntax (given that is part of the needed semantics).

Yep, as a wannabe audio developer on Android, this is the bug that kills it. And they've been aware of it for a VERY long time (over 2.5 years). It's really the one factor of UI that they just don't get. What's the point in devoting so much time to getting smooth visuals and snappy response only to deem audio response to be unnecessary?
If you let 'console' include 'xterm' (in Ratpoison, perhaps) then w3m displays images in an xterm just fine.

I'm still confused about the "repair" part of "race-and-repair". Could somebody explain whether/how this is different from eventual consistency in the limited case of a database?

Considering that you would (I guess) need to spend just as many cycles calculating the correct answer anyway, doesn't this make race-and-repair pointless for computations where correctness is required?

And yes, I realize that a large part of the (cultural) problem is an overly high tendency to think correctness is required. So what kind of computations don't require correctness?

The analogy to biological models is interesting, and bringing up cellular automatons (really agent-based models) gave me some ideas, but I'm still unsure where else something like race-and-repair would be useful.
Looks like someone could put it under their skin and the metal object will go unnoticed; heck! a terrorist could use someone else's skin...

Yeah. Definitely the later.

The trigger for the question was a very strange support request -- turns out OS X Mail Setup was launching and the user was very confused...
My (unintentional) Command Line Challenge was trying to build Gentoo on a 100MHz laptop with no other computers around. That was about 2 days of compute work. At the time, it didn't compile reliably either, so emerge would crash 5-10 times while trying to get to Xorg. Learning to fix the problems, particularly via lynx, brought me up to speed more quickly than anything else.

Something to be said for leaning by immersion.

It is usually quite easy to spot mailto: links, and hovering over the link will usually make it extra clear (at least in Chrome, in the bottom left corner a small box with the url's location is displayed).

this is why android will not succeed in the corporate space. might not be their target anyhow, but who knows.

IT departments in big companies love stable, homogenous platforms. buy an iphone anywhere on this world, it is exactly the same. same OS, same apps, etc. the upgrade path is known, predictable and again, completely global.

hence the success of the iPhone in that space, killing off RIM. hence the success of iPads, killing off classic Windows tablets and even notebooks. and suddenly you see macbook airs popping up in meetings and airport lounges. because once you're on iPhone and iPad - why not take the plunge? a macbook air is the same anywhere on this globe...

I'd say its negligent. From the article:

"Among the many Linux Foundation members are VIA (their open-source strategy failed and really haven't been doing anything), AMD (they're still happy with their Catalyst binary blob while the open-source support is still lagging), Adobe (they abandoned Flash Player for Linux and most of their software is not available natively under Linux), Oracle (enough said with their share of controversies in various open-source communities), and a host of mobile-focused firms like ARM / Qualcomm / Samsung that don't ship full open-source graphics drivers for Linux (the best case to date for them has been open-source kernel drivers with closed-up user-space components, some of which are being reverse-engineered).

We have both on the contact page, and we get more people filling out the form than emailing us, which I guess is surprising but the contact form is right there whereas the email link is a click away.

I really prefer them to fill out the form, because when we can associate their message with their browser, cookie, and IP address, I can get all kinds of useful information eg whether they came from an AdWords link, how many visits to the website they've made, whether they've ever clicked through a newsletter, their IP address (which I can use for geolocation), whether JS is enabled, etc etc.

I also find that it's easier to block spammers via the contact form than the email link, because of all this information I know about them.
