Green Sea Turtles off Buck Island USVI 
Two green sea turtles surface separately near our boat, Black Beard, while scaling the astonishing Buck Island. There were rain clouds over head, so the water was a little dark at that time, but it is usually crystal clear and aquamarine colored.
Quora gets $50 million. Q: Why? A: Because it can…
I also love San Francisco, but you have the wrong target in mind. Urban density is GOOD. What sucks is a car-centric culture that forces sprawl.

You want a NYC or European-style transportation system, where it's completely unnecessary to own dangerous, unreliable, expensive automobiles. Cities designed around walking -- like the good parts of San Francisco -- are WAY more human-friendly and memorable. I guarantee that whatever parts of San Francisco you love, they're almost definitely not parts you're forced to drive to.

Women are inherently, inescapably what you fear being called. Try to imagine how that must feel, to have the worst insult people around you can imagine to be "I'm like you."
Do any parts of the Bay Area south of San Francisco have rent control? I do not know of any.
I up-voted the parent comment because it is quite relevant to the history. OTOH, I find the opinion expressed in the parent comment quite disgusting.

I DO NOT think that down-voting relevant content we don't agree with is a good idea. Do you agree with me?

Ha. I've had and have plenty of data problems. After 2 days of making adjustments as per Basho's suggestions to try and improve the write throughput, I moved on. You seem to be making a lot of judgments and assumptions about that decision based on very little information. I guess this is troll food.
The performance is beyond terrible.

I have a Galaxy S, which is not the fastest phone in the world, but if I get a notification that someone has commented on my post or something, it can literally take minutes for the FB app to:

- Start when I click the notification

- Replace the pointless blank screen with my timeline (not that I wanted that, I wanted the notification) and the now-red notification bar

- After tapping the notification icon in the FB app (the second time I've now indicated I want to read the notification) watching the little bubble appear and wait for it to be populated with notifications

- Once it's populated, tap the notification I want (3rd indication now), and wait for that page to load.

Each of these on a 3G NZ mobile network can take 10s of seconds to complete. All the while I can't use my phone for anything else, or indeed let the screen go black and lock, because that will often drop me out of the particular step I'm up to (this may be more my phone than fb, I'm not sure of the internals).

Thinking purely as a user and ignoring the technical issues, there is something very wrong somewhere when it takes a few seconds to start a youtube video streaming but it takes a minute to view my friends 6 word sardonic reply to my kitten picture.
Quora and the Quest for Long-Tail Search
Isabel Marant Sneakers,Isabel Marant Shop Ss12 Collection
This country is phenomenally huge and there is no reason whatsoever to live clustered together in vile, concrete scabs

It's pretty simple. Communities tend to "clump", and people generally aren't willing to commute a really long way so the diameter of each "clump" is limited. Now, this wouldn't be an issue if our population was so massive the entire USA was covered in continuous urban sprawl, but I don't think that would make you happy.
It does feel that way. I started interviewing recently (I'm an experienced dev) and it feels like the interview process is screwed up across the board. Back in the day, Microsoft used to have the most grilling process. A full day with 5 interviews. These days, multiple rounds of phone interviews seem to be table stakes.

Perhaps I should look for angel investment ... it can't be more annoying that writing yet another linked list traversal ...
I up-voted the grand-parent because it is great to have the opinion of the other party involved, even thou I don't agree with it.
This has nothing to do with rent control.

San Francisco is just one part of the Bay Area, and the Bay Area is just one part of California.

The entire state has high real estate prices, despite pockets of low-priced housing (Stockton, for example).

Law of supply and demand: a lot of people don't want to live in freezing Minneapolis or bleak Detroit. Or Mumbai or Monterrey, for that matter.

Rich or poor, they would rather be in place where there is a chance to bask in the sun by the ocean, even if requires an hour or two drive from their gritty neighborhood.
The article makes a good case for Nokia and Elop.

The company states that customers do not care what operating system is in the phone. The argument is that distinctive and efficient design will lead to enough sales to reverse the current rapid drain on Nokia cash.

Do you buy this argument? And how much cash will Nokia have left in 12 months?
This is a good post, but I have one bone to pick:

After talking a bit, this person starts giving me grief for working in a closed source solution. I asked him what database solution he used. He happened to use a GPL licensed Open-Source database on which the company that owns the trademark has all the commits. It’s that kind of read only Open-Source.

In all fairness, it's a forkable kind of open-source; think the Jenkins / Hudson split.

(When you're building your company or product on something completely closed-source, you're kinda screwed if they go away.)
TheNextWeb could have provided substantially the same article to its readers by block quoting with attribution rather than plagiarizing with attribution.

Would that have been fair use? While a significant minority of people would say "No", I'm in the majority that would say "Yes".

But hey -- I once blogged something only to have Mashable post the same news, taking credit for it as original research (but without plagiarizing the wording). I think that behavior was worse. Pete Cashmore promised me he'd fix it, then didn't follow through.
Agreed with you and MJN. The US is in desperate need of investment in public transportation. Europeans have absolutely mastered the art of urban design and public transportation, and I wish we'd learn from their example.

But try telling 99% of the US that 1) their shitty sprawled real estate is effectively worthless, 2) their obese asses will have to give up their cars, and 3) we've spent 70 years of infrastructure investment supporting the dumbest possible lifestyle choice.

Imagine that...this fascination with schema-less datastores just baffles me:

http://draconianoverlord.com/2012/05/08/whats-wrong-with-a-s...

I'm sure schema-less datastores are a huge win for your MVP release when it's all greenfield development, but from my days working for enterprises, it seems like you're just begging for data inconsistencies to sneak into your data.

Although, in the enterprise, data actually lives longer than 6 months--by which time I suppose most start ups are hoping to have been bought out.

(Yeah, I'm being snarky; none of this is targeted at bu.mp, they obviously understand pros/cons of schemas, having used pbuffers and mongo, I'm more just talking about how any datastore that's not relational these days touts the lack of a schema as an obvious win.)
Ask HN: How do you deal with missing out on the Facebook money train?
Like many folks on here, I've had opportunities over the years to join Facebook as an engineer. The first was ~3.5 years ago, and many times since.

Unfortunately for me, I declined each time. Instead, I chose to go the entrepreneurial route. I love what I do, and I've built something users love. It makes money, but nowhere near what it needs to for me to see a big payout. I draw a modest salary, and although I'm not struggling to pay bills I could obviously use more money.

Many friends I worked with ended up going to Facebook, and will see windfalls soon. Most won't need to work for the rest of their lives. Some will forget me and other friends who didn't 'make it'. Some will still remain friends. I wish only the best for them - they've worked hard and deserve every bit of their success. I hold no ill-will towards them.

But I will forever have to live with a "what if..." in my life. A few million dollars go a long way in changing around your life.

There are many ways to rationalize decisions of the past. I've read the post by the guy who didn't accept the offer from Instagram before their huge exit. I don't feel the same way, but then I don't know if I would've done things differently if I had a chance to go back. I learnt a lot, got a ton of experience and built skills I couldn't have at Facebook. I can't rationalize that being worth a few million bucks though. I'm conflicted, and I need to talk about it because it distracts me from what I need to get done.

I'm sure there are others like me. What do you guys think about when you think of such missed opportunities?
interesting how something so trivial as sockets (but in the context of a http browser) can stir so much talk of decentralization. maybe if people pull their heads out of their asses about web and embrace native apps again...
How do the two cities resemble each other? SJ seems sleepy and is basically a giant suburb.
Actually rent control tends to push poor people out, because with rent control landlords are forced to chose between multiple applicants before letting them in. Landlords would clearly prefer to deal with wealthier tenants than with poor tenants.
"And there is nothing wrong with conforming.
There is nothing wrong with wearing fashionable status symbols. There is nothing wrong with climbing hierarchies, nothing wrong with pleading for a comfortable life, or listening to what your friends think is cool. There really isn't. These are all suitable ways of enjoying your life."

There are important contextual distinctions that need to be addressed here. There is nothing wrong? That's as foolish as saying conformity isn't wrong. Right or wrong, it's not about the morality of it. It's about the message you're sending about yourself and your abilities.

A sheep needs to be guided, everyday and everywhere. If you're the kind of person that needs to be shown what's cool/interesting/important/not important/funny/stupid then ultimately you have no leadership abilities and I would never hire you for anything useful. It not only speaks volumes about your leadership abilities, but also about your self-confidence. You don't value your own personal views enough to act on them. You don't look/act/create with the belief that YOU know what you're doing.

If, at the end of the day, you find you're not very useful as your own body, then conforming is ultimately the best thing to do. I personally feel that anyone that tries to stop conforming and just act and be according to their own personality 100% won't fail though. You'll find your niche, and you'll dominate it.
I refuse to shorten words to "SMS speak", even on Twitter. I can't stand when supposedly intelligent adults do it.

Quora is the epitome of Silicon Valley group think. You think the site's big if you live in the valley. Leave and no one's heard of it.

This is bubblicious.

Anyway if anyone from Quora is reading this: your site has become a terrible experience for those with a small screen because the top quarter is dominated by your floating top bar.
What's your thought on Prop 13? It's hard to imagine why owners should be insulated from tax increases while tenants should not be insulated from rent increases.
While I understand what you're saying, I'm not sure that the purpose of a university education is to "make it fun" for professors.

More likely, the purpose of a university education is to learn.

And that does not necessarily require the professor to happen.

There should never be anything wrong with doing work outside of class, or any implication that doing the work is "not enough". Often learning happens in that time outside of class spent "just doing the work", not "in class" where a professor is struggling to "have fun".

On the contrary. Greg's work is creating a new market for expertise. If you want to sell your time in 20 minute intervals, it's quite difficult to do so today.
The app used to be all native objective-c. It was actually pretty good. They made a switch to make their different platforms share more code and be more consistent with each other and quality took a HUGE nosedive.
How do you run your stable, well understood DB that probably uses thread locks and shared memory, across a cluster of 10 machines?

> just that people seem to be a bit cavalier in regards to some of this crap and chasing the newest shiny thing while rediscovering why some of the braindamage in those 1MLOC was put there in the first place.

But usually when people need to scale they need to scale, they usually know it. Since only successful companies need to scale, they probably know a thing or two about their domain and specific dataset.

It used to be that when you wanted to scale a database you used to be one of the large companies out there and your manager went and played golf with an Oracle salesman and you ended up with Oracle all of the sudden. That's what I call "golfware".

Small companies that all of the sudden had to handle 100ks of thousands of client connections was not very common.

So I think don't have a choice but to be cavalier about this crap. They either end up with an overpriced blade server that still has on single lock below all those expensive blades or you have to think of a distributed solution (or you just give up and move out of the way and let others eat your lunch).
I think the point wasn't that "asynchronous is hard", it's that "asynchronous is just incidental complexity". CRUD apps don't need to be asynchronous, and node.js has a relatively impoverished ecosystem for such apps.

There are undoubtedly tradeoffs no matter what you use, but this seems like an eminently practical decision.
Who you are right now is a product of that decision.
"three years ago, I was telling everyone I met to start companies."

"First, part of my perspective is just driven by my natural instincts to be counter-cultural. When there seems to be a lot of hype around an area or activity, I find myself pretty un-attracted to it. "

So... create/contribute to the culture of 'start a company' ("bias towards action") and then claim "counter culture" thinking against "hype" (which you helped foment).

Interesting angle...

Yes, the creative process often works in a way that either you do the idea that popped into your head when it comes in or it never comes to fruition. You can't recreate the moment when you created something.
Too late. Single-family homeowners now control the zoning boards in Silicon Valley, and they're generally opposed to building new apartments or mass transit. New infrastructure is far too expensive these days anyway.

I suspect this is one factor behind the resurgence of New York on the startup scene.

I'd support the jester more than any of those other groups. I'd rather see a guy take down jihadist websites, the westboro website, etc. than whatever the random crap anon and such attacks.

You could make the argument that Anon, Lulz, The Jester, etc. are all bad, which is fair. But I don't think there's much of an argument for Anon over The Jester.
Same era we had a backup that wrote to a DAT tape "/dev/nrst0", Somebody mis-typed it and the backups were all going to a file "/dev/nstr0" - we only noticed when somebody claimed they could read the backup with the tape ejected !

SunOS version mid 1990s - you had to be root to run the backup script AND you could create files in /dev without warning AND / and /home were in the same partition so it had lots of space

The way rent control works is certainly designed to help those in need but instead it creates a artificial demand for affordable housing.

I am having trouble wrapping my head around this quote. How could this be? Do you mean supply? There is always more demand for a good at lower prices than higher prices. If you took rent control away poor people would still want to live in nice places and pay low rent.
> The Linux kernel has over 15 million lines of code, people normally don't hold it against it.

They would if all the Linux kernel did was play Tetris for example. The point was that here is 1000 lines of what someone thinks is awkward code to deal with eventual consistency vs 1M lines of code to deal with consistency in another case. If consistency for a particular application can be dealt with in 1000 lines, you should usually go for that instead of for the millions of lines solution.

Think of it the other way. They have availability and partition tolerance from Riak and they can handle eventual consistency with 1000 more lines. Now imagine you have MySQL and you have to make run in a multi-master distributed mode, how many lines of code would you need to handle 2 of the CAPs and then haven an application specific way to handle an incomplete (or untimely third part)? I bet it would be more than 1000 lines...

I'm sorry but after living in Santa Clara Co. for a couple years, then moving back to my home state of Indiana, I can say with absolutely no compunction that Santa Clara Co. is a MECCA compared to where I live now in terms of public transpo.

Maybe it could be a ton better but my god I cannot wait until it's time to move back there.
Silicon Valley has some of the least progressive views on housing in the country. Limiting people to single family homes, which much of the valley does, is terrible for the environment and drives housing prices up. Space is finite. Building up leads to more affordability, shorter commuters and more creativity (by making it more likely that smart people run into each other).

The issue in the Valley is that there isn't enough housing stock. That's not hard to fix, unless you have too many regulations and nimbys.

Steve Jobs was a genius about a lot of things, except housing and work environments. The new Apple campus is almost laughably stupid. Everything we know about cities and their ability to forward humanity and creativity can't happen in Apple's new campus. It's disconnected from the larger community and sits next to a freeway.

See Triumph of the City as to why density of knowledge workers leaders to more innovation and creativity (or why the Renascence would never happen in rural America).

I bring up Jobs because I think his ideas on housing is common in the area. He loved the suburbs and perhaps the suburbs of the 60s and 70s were nice for a kid growing up. But Apple doesn't employ kids and our country's populations has doubled since 1960 and shows no signs of slowing down.
To me it sounds like the client has convinced you that his problems are worth more than your time.

You are actually defending his side of the story.

...On top of that, I'm working on an under-producing e-commerce site and I see the figures, I'm sure money is tight for my client....

You drank the Kool-aid.

Go back and negotiate on a per day basis. Do not let any insecurity about your work creep in. If the client barks (he will), then tough luck. Keep your ground and dont move.

He will either fire you or find somebody else. A tech-clueless business person will think twice before hiring someone else if the project is more than half way done.

Also, the client is technical. The person is building an e-commerce site!

Knows that internet + website + products = money.

You are the key to his/her plans. He/she may not know how to code, but does understand how things work.

He/she is just playing dumb to get you to lower the prices. Its working.

You need to develop your hustle, or else your startup wont make it.

Remember: They have your money on their pockets. It your job to get it. Dont break any laws, dont be immoral/unethical. But get that money.

Good luck.
If you have remote workers, you have a very very large ecosystem.
You know you can say what you want, but I'm living for a year in a country where alcohol is illegal and quite frankly I think it's a detriment. Why? because alcohol helps fuel the rhythms of the week, where people are "on" during work days and "off" during the weekend. How? by making it acceptable to not be mentally in a state to do work outside of work hours.

Here the weekend means nothing. People work 6-7 days per week, and are always on. They lose the rhythm. Religion fills the void a bit with friday prayers an excuse to work less, but really.

You should be more grateful for what you've got... you benefit from a society that doesn't expect you to be on 7 days per week.
