My partner has had Comcast flat out refuse to offer internet service in Seattle because of lack of credit history. Qwest/CenturyLink didn't seem to mind quite as much.
I had the same problem, immediately typed things like node.js ... eventually got the idea by searching arduino.

Definitely would be nice to give some example search terms.

Obviously there's a lot of demand in SOMA, but one suggestion to anyone thinking of living there: spend some time wandering around, both during the day and during the evening, and see if you like the vibe of the neighborhood (this advice holds true for any neighborhood, really). I say this because I lived in an area that seemed desirable — about 5 minutes away from the 4th & King Caltrain, at 4th and Brannan, and, while it didn't seem so bad at the time, in hindsight I've come to realize that I really wasn't very happy there.

It's very convenient for work, but it doesn't feel like a neighborhood at all. Everything seems to close around 8pm and most of your friends probably aren't going to be hanging out around there. Yes, there are a handful of cafes around and you can find a few blocks that are busier, but in general it just feels like a generic chunk of tall buildings — I found it pretty gloomy.

I'm looking to make this move in August and some of the advice here won't work for me.

For instance, I can't get a reference from a past landlord or a list of past landlords - I'm just graduating college and have lived in on-campus housing my whole time.

I'm hoping having a very good credit score and a very good offer letter in hand will solve this issue, but I'm not sure.

Additionally, I can't move out mid-month and look for an apartment starting at the beginning of the next - my job starts mid-month and I've moving out at the beginning.

Any advice for how to deal with these situations? Thanks!

Gutenberg didn't invent a machine for quickly producing books, he invented a machine for quickly producing machines for quickly producing books!

That is, his key innovation was a way to mass-produce the characters (the movable type) which could then be arranged to mass-produce the printed pages.

First, individual characters were carved from steel (each taking about a day to make). This was the only part of the process done "by hand". Every other element of the process was produced through some form of (repeatable/arrangeable) transfer of shape/information.

The master characters were hammered into brass to create a mold which could then be reused to cast multiple copies of a character. Each page had thousands of characters and Gutenberg's shop had multiple presses going at a time, so they needed lots of these characters on hand (50,000 is a conservative estimate).

The masters could also be easily transported to another city. These masters (plus raw materials of course) were all that was needed to set up a new print shop. This enabled the printing press technology to quickly spread throughout Europe.

I think it's a good analogy for the power of software :)

How does it compares with textastic http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textastic-code-editor/id38357...
well I believe this is not true. Smart product design can be both. iPod Video is a sleek device yet not too hard to open. Why did Apple move to pentalobe screws? To make it harder for us people to reapir the products. It's a mentality and stating that this hurts the design of a device is simply an excuse for this. I'd like to know how ease of repair makes a product harder to use? If we look at the newer HP all-in-one, we can see that they are well designed sleek and easy to use, yet they get 10/10 for repairability on iFixit.

I hope that this is constructive criticism as my aim is not to provoque you. We're all friends here.

This had an artistic and communicative intent, although i would concede that it's not particularly clever or innovative.

Fucking up Marc Jacobs or other massive commercial brands is a cogent statement to be made, and i don't think one that should simply be dismissed as thoughtless vandalism (though vandalism it may be).
Individuals are largely shielded from taking responsibility for the dangers and costs of car crashes in the USA by special exceptions and allowances. Companies and commercial renters are not so protected. That makes consumers drastically underestimate the real costs of their car use and RelayRides is going to face a hard task in keeping it covered up for their individual providers.

Both civil and criminal liability for killing and injuring others with a car non-commercially are incredibly cheap. The usual penalty for killing someone with a car is no penalty at all, even though over one hundred people a day die from driver negligence.

I currently work in an open office environment doing software development and absolutely hate it....I'm the type of person who needs complete quiet and solitary in order to focus and stay focused. There are constant distractions.

Judgement-proof operators? Nowhere was it suggested that operators ought be judgement-proof. In fact, I suggested the exact opposite.

The issue is exactly one of lobbying. As the article notes, the auto insurance industry has successfully lobbied to pass the Graves Amendment, which nullifies vicarious liability for auto rental. The article mentions this, and you can read more here: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/49/VI/A/301/I/30106

Car rental owners are shielded by this lobbied-for legislation. The only question is whether Ms. Fong will qualify as a rental agency for the purposes of this law.

This is precisely a case where an industry has lobbied for an exemption which may exclude others from competing in said industry. It is a textbook example of regulation preventing disruption of an established industry.
I'd say disallowing them is may be too harsh, but posting them is simply impolite and users should avoid doing that. I'm not a FB user and these kind of links just waste my time.

It’s an interesting accident of history that Gutenberg was able to make the innovations he did, and thereby ignite the explosive popularity of movable type in the West. If the Roman empire hadn’t brought the Latin alphabet in its various forms to so much of Europe, it’s possible that a less modular script would have dominated—leading to the same problems that plagued Chinese printing.

Of course, abjads and syllabaries are as common (and about as modular) as alphabets, so it’s likely that we would have been fine either way. Still, it’s interesting to think of what Europe would be like if the predominant script were semantophonetic like Chinese. Oddly enough, the main reason that phonemic scripts exist is precisely because languages tend to be non-isolating—in other words, modularity in a language leads to non-modularity in its orthography, and vice versa.
Everything You Wanted To Know About Caching
Try to get a reference letter from your RA or director of campus housing. Most landlords are flexible on recommendation letters, but something is better than nothing.

If you can't move in at the beginning of the month, it's not the end of the world. Tons of people in SF move out of their apartments mid-month, and you'll rarely see a shortage of housing inventory for mid-month move-ins. The key is moving in on them quickly and being willing to sign an application or lease on the spot. If all else fails, you can always do a short term sublet or Airbnb from the 15th through the 30th and use that time to find a lease that begins on the 1st.

How is it in the USA? Are you constantly chased for the debt regardless of your circumstances?

There are some exceptions, but generally student loans are something that you're stuck with. That's to say, you can't just shed them in bankruptcy proceedings.
You won't have a problem. Exceptions are made for students provided they have great credit and a great offer letter.
It also seems a bit off descriptively, because the Mission over the past ~20 years has been filling up with techies, to the extent that a lot of the locals have been complaining about gentrification. Especially true for anything near the 16th St. BART.
Serious question..do those factors affect your buying decision?
Were you trying to highlight the ridiculous level of hyperbole in his diatribe? So the regulation of things deemed potentially harmful to the individual or society is equivalent to universal criminalization of innovation? Sounds like he's been exposed to a few too many regulated substances, perhaps through no fault of his own.

For one, there are many more harmful things yet to be discovered which are still legal to work with; people like him could invest their focus there if they have such an affinity. Coincidentally, I hear there's funding for private rocket research.
Yeah, that’s a good parallel. Copying is cheap and automation is applied not only to a task, but to the automation of the task.
Okay, I bit and went looking for it.

Here is a better article that doesn't load your screen with advertising:

http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_gujarat-s-punsari-panch...

I couldn't find Punsari village but the article said it was near Talod, which is northeast of Ahmedabad off highway 68. Google maps shows a lot of villages near town but no names. I assume Punsari is one of these.

What's not to like? The area is fertile with adequate water, electrified, and decent roads. Nearby, Ahmedabad is developed, has good access to international trade (via the Gulf of Khambhat) and is developing.

For reference, Bopal is just west of Ahmedabad. But so is a new TATA Motors Nano Plant. The entire area has a good mix of industry, agriculture and access.

Very similiar to southern Indiana, USA.

I think it's the same in the UK regards bankruptcy but what happens if you become temporarily unemployed or can only get employment that is very low paid? Is it basically "fuck you, pay me"?
Statistics on job openings discount the option of working for yourself, which is what holdenc suggested with his "Mop It Up" business.
I don't know what the overall employment rate has to do with this.

The article looks at the relative employment rate of people who have attended college vs those who haven't. People who have attended college should be more qualified for more jobs than those who haven't. They should be more employed, but they aren't. The simplest explanation(and the one that matches what I've seen/experienced) is that people who have more education are too picky about the jobs and careers they are willing to consider and are therefore finding it harder to get a job.
The point is that as long as Ron Paul is out there on the political flank of plausible candidates with a small committed support base, the more centrist candidates will tack towards his position to try and capture some of his support.

do you have any example to support this claim? Ron Paul isn't running for the first time. Which of his positions got anywhere close to mainstream candidate's agenda previously?

Witness how Santorum pulled Romney towards more socially conservative positions just by existing.

Santorum was Romney's runner-up if not outrunning him during several moments.

Less capital now than ever. Local service businesses like "Mop It Up" would cost almost nothing to operate. The barrier to entry is simply that the work is undesirable. This makes it valuable.
Setting up a company to shield one's assets is perfectly lawful. In fact, many entities out there exist for this very purpose. However, to accomplish it, one must follow certain rules. Simply filing the paperwork is not sufficient. The intent is not important. Either the entity is properly setup and run and shields personal assets, or it's not.
The danger there (and maybe it's not as big an issue these days) is that there are spammers who will pick a domain and attempt to send a few thousand messages to <common user names>@yourdomain.com

That is unpleasant to deal with if you've got a catchall set up.

Judgment-proof in the sense that the operator has no assets with which to pay the judgment.

The operator here is liable. But if the operator has insufficient assets to satisfy the damages, the owner is a more sensible person to bear the costs of the accident than the injured party.
Not just repulsive, but also very inaccurate.

I love the Mission. When I lived in SF at least half of my friends lived there. With the diverse culture, all the taquerias, the beautiful houses, Dolores Park, the nightlife, and the BART right there, it is very, very easy to find lots of people interested in living in the Mission.

On paper yes, but you can't draw blood from a stone. Loans can be adjusted if you can't make payments like any other loan, but your credit will be duly impacted by your inability to meet your obligations. The US doesn't have anything like what you mentioned the UK having for students in general. I think there exist some similar setups for people in particular professions, like teaching, for example, but even then I don't think their benefits are as good as the ones you laid out, but I'm no expert on how all of that works.

Ask HN: Tame a mess -- backup & revisions across several systems?
I am a freelance mobile developer, and have many projects spread out over 4 systems - 2 Win7, Mac OSX and Ubuntu. Some of the projects need to be checked into client source control.

What is a good way I can backup, keep personal revisions and share across all 4 systems? The thing that makes it tricky is some clients have their own git or subversion repositories.

Here are my thoughts:

On my main system, have two mostly mirror directory trees: one just containing source pulled from client repositories, and another that is my "working" source tree which contains everything including copies of client files (but excludes their source control system files.) The working tree would be checked into a local git repository.

So for the various tasks I need to do:

Update from client repositories:

After updating from client repositories into the client tree, I would merge all source files (no svn or git files) to the complimentary location in the working tree, then checkin any changes to my local git repository.

Committing to client repositories:

Merge source from the working tree (no svn or git files) to the client tree, then commit.

Sharing between other system:

The other systems would just update and commit to git on my main system.

Backups:

Backup the git repository, the client "tree" and the "working" tree to an external drive.

Any problems with this? Is there a better way to do it?

Thanks

By "judgement-proof" I believe he meant that the operators probably don't have much money and therefore you could win a case against them, but you could not collect. This is contrasted with the owners of the hypothetical car rental firm that would have assets that could be taken.
