I realize the comment came off and being a huge Ron Paul fan, but I'm not. I was only pointing out that one can appreciate his consistency in the face of opposition in certain aspects from his own party.

I was listening to NPR today and there was a discussion about how Romney's political strategists dictate the man's political rhetoric in order to be able to placate or appeal to specific demographics. In other words, the man isn't genuine. He doesn't say what he really believes, only what his strategists say he should be saying to get the most votes.

I wish more politicians could be more honest to their core values and beliefs, but as a student of Political Science I understand the rules of the game incentivize this type of behavior.

Did anyone what The Adjustment Bureau? The guy gets elected because he was stopped the game and was honest with his supporters, though I doubt that would work in real life.
What does it say about the barriers to entry for colocation, that google still has to host in someone else's building?
meh. most IT workers are classified as exempt anyways using any of a number of loopholes. The most common of which is making the employee a 'manager' which means they can't qualify for overtime pay. Nice to see my state's Senator as a sponsor on the bill (Isakson). Hopefully whichever hapless Democrat runs against him will may some hay but dragging this out as "anti-worker," but I doubt anyone will care. GIT ER DONE!
I think he's saying that it is an issue of merit, in the sense that he considers it a negative indication of the judgment of an applicant.

Hostile work environment? Meh. Sure maybe somebody could bring a suit, maybe they could even have a chance at winning if he was beating people on the head with it every day. But I doubt many startup execs would worry about it to the point they would let it censor their behavior.

Aside from the ridiculously crass comparison to Hitler, you are patently wrong.

Hitler was a liar to the core. He framed the Invasion of Poland as a 'defensive war' which he convinced many Germans into believe Poland was actually invading Germany!

He spun deceptions regularly and was known for his ability to convince or make others look the other way while he planned military actions and genocide. Just because he was outspoken about his hate for the Jewish people does not at all make him 'sincere'.
I'm also a French 20-something, currently calling the San Francisco Bay Area home— my next stop will probably be Berlin or Amsterdam.

Google Flushes Heat From Data Center With Toilet Water
As a Mormon who attended BYU in Provo, Utah, I can attest that a very large percentage of the young male population is not only bilingual in common and uncommon languages, but there's a deep sense of patriotism. Universities in Utah are heavily recruited for law enforcement (FBI) and foreign service.

I agree that most of the reason for the Utah location is probably cost, but the demographics are also very unique (and yes, fairly homogeneous as well).

its very simple. do what you like to do. Suppose, you have all your needs met, such as food, shelter. You will be doing something to engage yourself. That may be what you like to do. btw, even that may change over a period of time. Basically, if you start doing what you love to do, eventually you may start doing that fulltime. When you enjoy doing something, it doesn't feel like work. It is fun. Life should be fun.
Apparently it was caused by a network problem above AWS:

2:40 AM PDT We are investigating connectivity issues for EC2 in the US-EAST-1 region.
3:03 AM PDT Between 2:22 AM and 2:43 AM PDT internet connectivity was impaired in the US-EAST-1 region. Full connectivity has been restored. The service is operating normally.
6:09 PM PDT We want to provide some additional information on the Internet connectivity interruption that impacted our US-East Region last night. A networking router bug caused a defective route to the Internet to be advertised within the network. This resulted in a 22 minute Internet connectivity interruption for instances in the region. During this time, connectivity between instances in the region and to other AWS services was not interrupted. Given the extensive experience that we have running this router in this configuration, we know this bug is rare and unlikely to reoccur. That said, we have identified and are in the process of deploying a mitigation that will prevent a reoccurrence of this bug from affecting network connectivity.

We understand that when networking events affect instances in multiple Availability Zones it causes our customers serious operational issues that are difficult to architect around. We have been using and refining our Availability Zone architecture for over 10 years at Amazon to provide highly reliable services. Availability Zones provide a high degree of isolation including physical separation, independent power distribution, independent cooling and mechanical systems, and multiple physical links to the Internet through multiple transit providers and peering connections. All of our regions have exceeded 99.99% availability over the last several years. We are also continually investing in improving our architecture as we learn more. In addition to the remediation discussed above which addresses the specific bug we saw last night, we are currently in the later stages of refining the way that we do route advertisement within a region. These changes will isolate any bad route information to inside a single Availability Zone while maintaining the performance characteristics of our current inter-Availability Zone network design. We have been deploying these changes carefully to avoid impact to customers, but we expect these changes to be complete within the next several weeks. We are confident these changes will protect us from multi-Availability Zone impact for the sort of bug we saw last night.

I did not say sincerity is not a virtue, I said it is overrated. I don't think Santorum is even close to being Hitler, I believe he is overall an honest man who believes that he will do good for the country. My problem with him is that he is so certain with his beliefs. He's too dogmatic for my taste. “The most harm of all is done when power is in the hands of people who are absolutely persuaded of the purity of their intentions” – Milton Friedman
Sorry. The way you phrased your question made it seem like you were asking why he would continue working rather than just pissing off somewhere with his money.

There are loads of reasons why someone would rather work for Big Corp. than doing a startup, especially when they've already checked "build a successful company" off their bucket list. I can only speculate, and I don't feel it's right to in what was probably a very personal decision.
I hear Yakov Smirnoff is going to return to Russia and tell jokes about how bad the police state is in the U.S.
When was the last time you heard about ECHELON being used? Never? The thing about ECHELON is that it's like nuclear weapons — it's too important to be used against anyone less than a terrorist. So what do I care if the NSA is reading my Internet traffic and they're never going to use that information because they don't want to reveal that they have it in the first place or how they got it. It might not even be admissible in court.

They use file sharing and copyright to enact laws that make binary wiretap both trivial and legal.

I see no evidence of that (they seem to be happy with operating illegally), so you're just using this thread as a coatrack for off-topic rants.

Once you get internet at your house, how that gets locked down is your problem and no longer requires government intervention. I will not be the person who mandates that the entire internet be censored because a few parents can't take the time to lock down their e-devices.

I'm not saying he's not anti-porn. He's pandering because, knowing that he's a lawyer, and assuming he knows at least rudimentary constitutional law (I'd hope), he knows he can't affect a single iota of change in this area. He's just saying it to appeal to the ultra-conservative base.

Because the pension funds want to invest such huge amounts of money that I suspect Y Combinator wouldn't know what to do with it.

Yeah you're right. I don't think Hitler was sincere when he negotiated with Neville Chamberlain on the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. No one was listening to Churchill who has been warning for years about Hitler. Who would listen to a drunk discredited politician? This time pragmatism failed.
Of course not, now get back to work.
no, your ISP has very broad legal powers to inspect your traffic as long as it occurs while it's in motion.
So, no ATT? or does one of those mentioned in the article is the consumer name for at&t and i'm clueless even though they get my money every month?
Is the rest of the article written in the same manner?
from reading the email thread it appears this is the main issue:

zeromq is looser about what ends up in master. They view master as sort of a global staging area, and what ends up in release branches is viewed as stable/vetted code. As a result, master can be quite unstable.

The people that forked wanted a more stable master, with lots of code reviews before patches end up in master.
AT&T is participating.

> During a panel discussion held for U.S. publishers today, RIAA chairman Cary Sherman said his association and a number of ISPs—including AT&T, Cablevision, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon—will begin policing traffic to crack down on piracy starting this summer.

> To them, porn is not bad because kids might see it; porn is bad, full stop.

The problem (for the anti-porn crowd) with that is SCOTUS won't censor anything unless they have a damn good reason to. They wouldn't touch video games because there is already a mechanism (the ESRB) to give parents the power to protect their kids from the 'dangers' within. Consenting adults are pretty much free and clear to do anything they want to themselves as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else - as far as the current justices appear to be concerned.

You're really missing the point.

If your product doesn't already meet the needs of a particular customer, it's not a product suitable for that customer. If the customer wants you to make it suitable, talk about the cost of that. Otherwise, stop annoying me with sales drones and let me give you money for the software I already know I need.

Somewhere along the way it looks like you and a few other people have confused "products" and "consulting". They're not the same things. Either you have a product ready to go, or you don't. If you don't, you're not a software company, you're a consulting company, and should act like one -- don't pretend to have a packaged solution ready to go.
Some people like micromanaging their workflow. Apparently Mark Dominus is one of them. Other people don't like managing their workflow, and thus they end up with just `git commit -a; git push` as the entirety of what they use. Just because some people micromanage their workflow doesn't mean everyone has to.
> Santorum really believes all this stuff

Maybe this is just being pedantic, but: what about his beliefs on higher education? The man has denigrated the idea of pursuing education beyond high school, yet he has more degrees than the current president. That just seems like pandering to me.
> It's arcane, it's awkward, and it takes lots and lots of practice and failure.

I'm confused. You seem to be making conflicting suggestions. Is this "arcane" and "awkward" sales process truly a sine qua non for your industry? Or is it the product of social inefficiencies that just can't be corrected by technical measures?

Amazon AppStore Birthday Celebration
17 year olds can definitely use the internet but they have to access it from somewhere. Like I said, no doubt they can find ways to get there. If mom and dad don't pay for it (unlikely scenario these days) or lock down the computers so they don't have access without supervision (not that difficult), it's not as easy to get to as one would think.

Personally, I wouldn't put those limits on a 17-year-old, even my own (don't have one yet). However, the overall point is that Santorum doesn't want anyone to have access to porn, even someone over the age of 18. He feels that his definition of obscene should be everyone's.
> If you can make your competitor's core a commodity, you've gone a long way towards reducing their effectiveness as your competitor.

I've been considering this idea a lot and I think it explains the motivations of a surprising number of technical advancements. The masses get better free/open stuff as new competitors come along and enlist the community to help undermine the incumbents.
In a fit of distractedness, I actually read this comment before I reached the end of the article.

As worrying as the NSA's antics are, I also find it alarming that the US electric grid is a limiting factor for big data. E.g. Silicon Valley's electricity prices rule out most data centers there.

(Maybe it's an ironic twist that the NSA must spread out simply due to grid capacity constraints...)
The definitions of exempt vs. non exempt in the FLSA have always seemed somewhat arbitrary to me. How about we just let employers offer what ever terms they want and employees decide to accept or reject them? As a bonus we can downsize government by getting rid of the FLSA enforcement bureaucracy .
That was my first thought as well, but thinking further, LED lights can be used and their heat and energy generated should be so low that it shouldn't be part of the equation.
> 1) Detecting piracy is resource intensive

People who torrent 24/7 just because they can are also resource intensive. I think there might be a real incentive to kick Joe Leecher out of one's customer base and keep people who only check their email.
Well, if web policing is enforced by ISPs, it may give birth to the next generation of internet. I'm not kidding. I'm serious.

Let me explain. Today everyone has a wifi router. Imagine, one wifi router sending request to the next wifi router, which routes to the next router towards the destination. It is theoretically possible to reach the destination and get back. It may be a million hops. But, it is possible.

Today's wifi routers are designed to talk to CABLE or DSL. But they can be made to talk to a nearby wifi router also. If we do that the entire world will become one giant network. That would be the real internet. At that time, we won't need ISPs.

Today majority of traffic goes through ISPs. If this type of wifi routers come to existence, even countries like Iran cannot control internet.

This may be a blessing in disguise.
Google needs to pick Picasa of the gutter where it dropped and make it a good photo app before shoving it down everyone's throat as a social app. And online editing from that startup they bought is not the answer.

Similar for Market/Play. I will never buy a POP culture book or video from Play, so stop flooding me with ads for them when I want to look for apps.

Thanks.
Let me get this straight - You think any site that hosts content, whereby the owner can sell recurring memberships for access, is a porn site? Sorry, but the porn industry can't (nor does it) claim ownership to the concepts of (1) content publishing (2) hosting or (3) subscription billing. Perhaps if you looked at the competitors slide, you would see that such an idea is already being used by people like Ning and Kajabi, and no one is calling them "porn" sites.

I'll preface this by saying I don't quite understand your comment. I'm not sure if it's a joke or what.

> I will raise holy hell for any ISP that blocks my transmission…

Raise holy hell in what sense? You'll switch ISPs? The other ISP has probably agreed to this, too, and that's if you even have a choice of ISP (I know I don't.)

So what's your next option? A lawsuit? What they're doing is perfectly legal.

Fine, so let's change the legal system… ahhh, you have two candidates to vote for, a democrat and republican. Which of them is the one that's going to do something about this, again?
> You tend to get what you pay for in a global market where the price is efficient.

I agree that the proposition is naive. That said, the global market for programmers' salaries (or contractor's rates) is most definitely not efficient.
I'm sure there are a few people that Google employs "Because awesome." The self-driving cars thing comes to mind, though I'm sure that could be explained by giving people another hour every day to sit on the internet looking at ads.
