Great to see this packaged as a nice service for people!

I built something a lot like this in 2004 and used it with a household of 6-8 people for over 5 years with great success. We split rent, utilities and food with it. I let a few other households use it as well, and everybody had a great experience with it.

I've been surprised that nobody has come out with an easy to use service for this, so I'm excited to check yours out!

My one suggestion is to give me a little more information about the service before signing up. Screenshots would be great to see.
In my Philosophy dept Frege was well read. So we spent a lot of time with the foundations of set theory and arithmetic. Looks like he has an article "What is a Function?" but I don't think I've read it.
Except that in any "democratic vote" such a 'call for independence' would be voted down, as the number of Han chinese outnumber the ethnic minorities in those regions.

They've thought of that problem already.

True democracy... (Is that like a true scotsman? ... Who has a true democracy?)

The first sound is a (german) numbers station where a woman (i can't help my self and interpret the voice as a child's voice) speaks some testing numbers (i guess) it's 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 - the interleave signal is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Rhapsody_No._1

If a company/startup/government could loan money at a very low rate to invest in profitable and/or useful projects for which there is known demand and they refused, what would you say?

How do you place yourself in regards of military nuclear technology, then?
Indeed. There was some speculation in one of the articles that it may have been big ice sheets sliding along rock that was making those subsonic noises.
Yeah, ok. It could have been wonderful, tremendous things. IE, lochy. But I've seen this on front pages at least 50 times and there has not been the tiniest insight into what that is beyond nothing at all. Occam's razor: It was a bubble, an electrical malfunction, a manufactured hoax, etc. Why don't you post a shaky video of bigfoot instead? At least the imagination has something to chew on there.
Interesting, I find Krugman to be more ideological than reasoned, but I that could be from working on government stuff in the 90s. I would recommend reading about spending changes in 1946, it is quite an interesting era to compare to 1920, 1929, and today.
Now you mention it, it's kind of surprising that they don't offer premium accounts with no ads and strong privacy guarantees. I might even get back on facebook if they did that.
I suspect the Great Firewall already does whitelisting rather than blacklisting.

When an external (out of china) domain is visited from within china (for the first time), it is blocked. It is then later unblocked.

I've experimented with this a few times, and it always happens like that.

Introducing Redis Store
Why is Cipla able to produce the drug at a fifth the price? Can someone please explain how Western companies price their drugs? How much do they send on R&D, marketing and all that? I mean it doesn't really make them look good does it?
P.S. Being from Africa I can testify to how much of a difference Cipla's 1dollar a day AIDS drugs make a huge difference!! Here in Kenya medication is given free of charge under government and NGO subsidies. AIDS is no longer a death sentence if you're poor.
Be extremely cautious when using WD Green drives in a RAID configuration.

They may be quiet/inexpensive, but they also don't ship with Time-Limited Error Recovery enabled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-Limited_Error_Recovery). This makes it much more likely they'll drop out of an array. Some models can have this option flipped on; some cannot.
The text for the upper boxes is easy to read on the full sized png, but difficult when scaled when showing in the github page. If the smaller size is the default it could be an issue.

I also think you should make scales for "Used Memory" and "Memory Consumption" the same.

Looks good though.
I am curious to know whether no one wanted to claim the money, or no one had a clue the money were available. Your "this didn't work" post is the first time that I've heard of this initiative. How many more users like me are out there? I'd bet, the majority.
Is your version still available? I would love to check out your take on it! I built this for the exact same reason - I'm in a shared apartment of 6, so I'm hoping people in similar situations will be able to get some use out of it.

Good suggestion about screenshots - I'll put more up soon!
The published social science they have produced so far is unimpressive, though. I attended a talk by a Facebook Data Group employee a little while ago, and it was a bit sad.
Practically every web page has a minified JavaScript program to look at, and even stuff that's not minified often depends on ajax calls or other server side components that aren't easy to duplicate and start tinkering with for someone that doesn't already know what they are doing (or even for someone that does.)

But yes, online editors are an amazing resource, as are open source programs.
They don't do much R&D. Most of their drugs are copies of drugs that have been developed in western countries. The drugs are just reverse engineered and reproduced. This is pretty legal under Indian patent law and hence carries on, while Cipla, makes massive amounts of money by being just a drug manufacturer.

They do save lives though :P
It also sets the value of discovering new drugs at $0. What's smart about that?
This really ought to include a basic structure for routing, as described in the docs: http://emberjs.com/guides/outlets/

Or maybe not - routing in Ember has changed a lot, even over the last week.
Also many domains follow this pattern:

It's possible both to be against the government debts & deficit spending, and to be against an austerity agenda. For example, one way to reduce the deficit and debt with minimal pain and austerity is to reduce discretionary military spending (which, for the US, is arguably what most of it is, in the form of overseas adventures and bases, and astronomically expensive weapon systems), and to increase taxes and/or otherwise close loopholes & exemptions for the rich and large corporations. Niall has argued for gutting and privatizing social safety net programs, and for abolishing income tax, inheritance taxes and gift taxes, and replacing them with a national sales tax. Any objective economist will tell you that over time that will lead to a society where there is an even larger plutocratic aristocracy -- which, coupled with "one dollar, one vote" mechanisms (like the Citizens United decision) that have been getting stronger in the US recently -- would further distort democracy away from the best interests of the young or poor working class and the 99%, and toward the best interests of the wealthiest 1%.
> Technology itself clearly is not something that you can "make sure..is used for good".

Why not? There is not one infallible way to ensure a technology is used for good and you never know in advance but it is not a reason to stop trying. I'd say for example that open formats and protocols are more likely to generate less evil than their counterparts.

Ask HN: How to find out how many active users an iphone app has?
This is not my app, but I'd like to compare the best apps in a certain category. Is there a service where I can find out the installs, active users and revenue of existing iphone, ipad and possibly also android apps?

Thanks
I'd like to see the Pebble watch serve as a way to view blood sugar levels and send commands to an insulin pump ... at one point I thought about setting up a kick starter project for this, but all the issues with bluetooth seemed daunting. Thank you to Scott for making these issues heard.
Sorry for asking, but what is odd about this sound? I also don't know what a interleave is.

But, anyway, this sounded to me as something we could find in a station from Lost.
I fail to see how is this _exponentially_ faster. "Transfer time T(K) = 1.25/K where K = number of servers" seems pretty linear to me...
"2. The "Insurance is better" customer bias. The average consumer of healthcare expects to show up, slap their insurance card down and receive treatment. This abstracts them from being the direct payment entity of the services they provide. If you piss off the patient but provide the service to code, then the insurance company will pay. If you please the customer but go outside the payment structure, the insurance will not pay. Businesses get paid."

THIS. Combine this with the fact that most consumers receive insurance through their employer (and expect this too) further abstracts them from being the payment entity.
Whatever the complexities of the system, the bottomline is that for-profit corporations should not be allowed to milk medical "consumers" the way they are allowed in the US. If the US can bail out the banksters with trillions of dollars (yes, the Federal Reserve printed trillions and gave it to corporations, not just American banksters and corporations but to corporate buddies all over the world), why must an American patient pay 10-100 times the price charged by the same company in Mexico? That for a medicine that is more than a decade old?!

The US government (read taxpayers) paid milions to GM in bailout money in the last week of September 2008, GM opened a new plant in St. Petersburg, Russia in the first week of October 2008.

How is it all not as simple as good vs evil? Could the trillions of dollars of taxpayer bailout money not be spent on providing healthcare to all Americans and their generations to come?

When they fail we all need to chip in, when they succeed (say their drug is successful) we all have to pay for their profits.

Anyone remember the millions of dollars Rumsfeld made over the bird flu scam? Remember Tamiflu? Bird flu killed a fraction of the number of people routinely killed by common cold and malaria around the world but the UN rushed to declare it a pandemic and that translated into billions of Dollars of purchases of medication from governments around the world. The medication did not even provide the defense it claimed to provide any way.

I will argue that it does not matter. Of the two there is no 'better' browser. So long as firefox keeps enough users to justify Google's financing all is fine.

Two highly competitive open source browsers is the best scenario the internet has ever had. I just hope we don't screw something up and break the steady state.

Really, you think the value of having a monopoly on the only known process for making a drug and being first to market with that drug is $0?
Maybe the US is simply a poor market to launch new drugs into, if it costs that much to get it to market. It might be better to launch in other countries, like India, and then work towards a US launch after extensive use data is available.
None of my non-US clients has ever been denied entry into the US on any visa because they were a shareholder or director of a US corporation. If anything, they have generally received visas faster than they did before becoming US investors.

Denying entry to foreign investors would actively discourage foreign investment in US industry, which is completely at odds with most of tax code. Indeed, US law is too generous to foreigners who own businesses in the US.

Can it run inline Javascript as the page is loaded or do I have to explicitly tell it what JS to run? I want to scrape some pages that use JS packers to obfuscate their code so that it's only loaded by real browsers, but if I just use curl all I see is JS that needs to be evaluated before I can get anything useful out of it.
Or it could be something actually real and interesting like the shrimp layer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkgJQ1Fpwm4#t=1140s
You would also have to change the culture of business. As long as companies are out to make money instead of contribute value the force of the state will be employed to keep snake oil off the market.
Indian pharmaceuticals are a joke. They have zero inventions to their name. Their "secret" to selling drugs cheap lays in the following line from the article.

"In 1972, India made only the process for making drugs patentable, not the drugs themselves."

Do you really think this is smart?

Heavy R&D costs are involved in coming up with compounds that save lives. If you only have the manufacturing process that's patentable then what happens is you can "reverse engineer" drugs as the article says. I would thought the significant majority of R&D costs is pertained to identifying compounds that cure. The cost of determining the process to manufacture these discoveries was less significant.

cost to invent drugs = identifying compounds (90%, say) + determining manufacturing process (10%)

With no way to recover[1] the 90% of the cost involved in inventing drugs you no only take away the incentive to invent drugs but you disincentivize it.

I've lost family members to cancer and I would like my country's legislature to NOT disincentivize research for cancer or any other area. I'm not sure if there have been significant medical inventions here. I tried to look but couldn't find any.

[1] You competitors will spend 10% of the cost to determine a different process to manufacture drugs and sell the compounds at tenth of your price and taking the market away from you.

Edit: Down vote? Is it because of the dissent or is it because you think I'm wrong? I'm an Indian citizen and have the right (luckily) to dissent. If you think I'm wrong I would love to know what inventions have Cipla et. al been credited with.
I lived in Taos, NM for about a year and never heard the eponymous Hum. Recalling the recent Hacker News item about anechoic chambers, it wouldn't surprise me if it has something to do with how quiet the place is.

On more than one occasion standing outside the house on the mesa outside of town, the utter silence of the place got to me enough that I had to go back inside and talk to somebody. Perhaps my mind would have eventually filled the gap with a hum.
What distinction do you make between the Chinese government and the CCP? Aren't they pretty much the same thing?

Yes. You can change the tax form of a LLLC by making what is called a "check the box" election on Form 8858. This will switch the LLC from a partnership (if it has multiple owners) or disregarded entity (if it has only 1 owner) to a corporation.

In effect, it will be treated as if the LLC distributed all of its assets to its partners, who then contribute those assets to a new corporation with the same name as the LLC. You may recognize income on the conversion, it depends.
I meant western companies how much do they send? I once read an article that suggested that even after they've made back the money spent on R&D they still keep their prices high to keep making a profit
There are tradeoffs when you create abstraction layers. For instance, Apple's new ad talked about larger batteries they fitted by not making batteries easily replaceable - there were additional housing and adapters - which all took up room. This has been a general trend over many years.
Sorry everyone, didn't notice it was written two years ago :(

This argument is demonstrably false.

Look at any commodity market, with no barriers to entry, no IP protection, thin margins, say: making bread. The logic that everybody will stop making bread because there's more money to be made in making iPads is false.

The general rule is: as long as there is money to be made, people will compete for this money.

There's a lot of money to be made in drugs and as long as it's true, companies will compete for this money, even if the margins won't be as great as they are today.

Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pharmaceutical_companie...: the top pharma company makes $12bn profit on $62bn of revenue with $7bn spent on R&D.

The $12bn is a lot of wiggle room and twice the amount they spend on R&D. They are making profits hand over fist.

The $7bn total spent on R&D also puts your $1bn per drug into question - does the biggest pharma company can only do 7 new drugs per year (and I'm really generous in assuming all of that R&D goes into developing new drugs)?

Quick insight into the guy, along with how he interacted with different actors on set.
nope. it's time that is the factor for triangulation. you always take the first time you received from the one source and you can discard certainly something way out side of what you expect. It's how you defeat the concreate canyon effect in big cities where signals are bouncing off everything.

However if you have a low strength signal from one source and you receive a frame that is a second or a two off, it can cause you to think you are miles away from where you think you supposed to be.
Also speaking as someone who's lost friends to cancer, I'd not like it if the drug was there but out of my reach because it was too expensive. It's like looking through glass, you can see the other side but you can't get through
Agreed, but there are many common features. Team is a good example. When there is so much emphasis on DRY I don't see why other elements of a startup should be any different.

For international companies, you will want to hire an accounting firm which has offices in both/all of the nations in which you will be operating.

There is a reason that accountants and tax lawyers dither more about the tax issues than lawyers do about other issues. (Tax lawyers will be lumped in with accountants hereafter because tax law is generally considered the practice of accounting in the US.) Under the laws of most nations, accountants can go to jail and be made to pay potentially unlimited penalties if they give bad tax advice, in addition to malpractice liability. Lawyers generally only have to worry about malpractice liability. Accountants generally face more risk than lawyers, and correspondingly spend more time mitigating that risk than lawyers do.

Interesting. I am not that familiar with ML languages, but isn't the situation equivalent to division by 0 in arithmetic? Division by 0 is undefined, because assigning it to any natural number would yield a contradiction. Alternatively, one could define x/0=⊥, like Haskell does, but then every other operator in arithmetic would have to handle ⊥.

Mathematicians have chosen to keep division by 0 undefined (except in special contexts), and I am inclined to agree. I suspect that the primary reason for the existence of ⊥ in Haskell is because of the Hindley Miller type system's insistence on giving a type to everything.

Any comment appreciated.
If you click on the commits tab, you can see which files have had the most activity. That should at least put you in the right place so you can ignore configuration files etc...
Just to note: LLCs are treated as partnerships by default for tax purposes, which is what complicates equity compensation for LLCs. S-Corps are mostly treated like partnerships for tax purposes.

You can alternatively choose to have an LLC which is taxed as a corporation by making a "check-the-box" election. After the election, the LLC is an LLC for all purposes except tax purposes, and is treated as a corporation for tax purposes.
So where, in your opinion, is the boundary between philosophy and mathematics? On which side is logic?

You pay a "franchise tax" to whatever state you actually operate in, regardless of where you are incorporated.

Thus, if you are incorporated in Delaware but based out of California, you would be subject to taxation in both Delaware and California.

Love ZFS, hate having to use it in FreeBSD or Illumos, so I like seeing someone successfully using it in Linux even if licensing concerns keep me from doing it. When I saw that he was using "WD Caviar Green" hard drives, though, I cringed.

These "green" hard drives tend to be very aggressive about parking heads and spinning down the platters. While this is fine if a disk is going to sit idle for a long period of time, in cases like an OS partition and memory buffering, these drives start destroying themselves spinning down and cranking up several times a minute.

We had 4 out of 16 fail one week after burn-in in a raidz configuration. We had plenty of hot spares for various reasons of paranoia, and they didn't go all at once, so we recovered and replaced the entire batch with Constellations.

The only positive note was that we are now firmly in love with zpools and zfs.. It made egregious hardware failure a manageable problem.
I don't believe the right answer to solving the cost problem is stealing (super) costly inventions. Cheaper and more widely accessible healthcare would probably be the more apt choice if you ask me. Debate about models such as free public healthcare, compulsory insurance, compulsory insurance where the government pays the difference that the less wealthy can't make up for, etc. would be more apt I feel. Also discussion about how to bring down cost of research can be fruitful.

But without the incentive to invest in the huge cost involved with discovering drugs, you will have nothing to look at the other side, glass or no glass.
