> Do you deny that 2 million Koreans were brutally murdered as a part of an imperial struggle in 1940s?

That's... not even close to a correct understanding of what happening.

Without the U.S. forces in the Pacific, Korea gets Japanized by Imperial Japan and Korean culture very possibly would have been eradicated and the Koreans assimilated as entirely as the Empire could have.

Similarly, the Korean War kept South Koreans out from under Kim il-Sung's and Stalin's rule. All of the Korea would be the quality of North Korea without the Korean War...

There's (relatively minor) USA/ROK tension right now, but the two countries have been so incredibly good for each over the last 50 years it's not even funny. South Korean culture is vibrant, the people are strong, inventive, and hard-working, and there's an excellent blend of traditional Korean values and culture along with a selection of Western values, modernity, technology, and infrastructure.

All war is terrible, but America's role in South Korea has hands-down been one of the most positive things the USA has done in Asia, perhaps one of the most positive things the USA has done ever in terms of foreign relations.
Yeah, I'm playing with metaphors here. The point I want to get across is the code itself is just a means to an end. Just the code is often not a deliverable, unless you make money from software patents. Google doesn't make money because they sell a lot of code. Facebook doesn't get investment because they wrote a lot of code. That doesn't mean their code isn't valuable - it is. But it's the actual computation (e.g. execution of this codebase) that has real value. Get it?
> In theory

Not a good theory. All the players in this game believe they are above average among players in this game.

They all want the system to be exploitable because they all believe they will exploit it better than their peers.

At the very least better than the investors (the real suckers here).

You are falling into the game theory economics trap. People are highly irrational actors who don't even act in their own self interest most of the time, nevermind some form of optimal rational behavior.

Good question. I can't speak for all ORMs, but both SQLAlchemy and Core Data provide direct support for self-referential relationships

SQLAlchemy lets you drop down to raw SQL as well if you need to, while still taking care of mapping the result set to objects for you.

Core Data is less powerful (and technically not an ORM), but it's the defacto standard on iOS so I'm pretty much stuck with it.
Cheap, relatively stable, strong, flat on top, somewhat rounded edge so you don't hurt your wrists, maximum free span width underneath. Adjustable height. Wheels would be cool, but I haven't tried that.

The glass IKEA Galant desks do make it really difficult to mount monitor arms (you can't bolt through tempered glass, and pressure clamps are risky on glass), so I ended up putting two oak boards on the top and bottom in the back (1" thick, 8" wide, width of the table + 2"), and clamping stuff to those.

Glass is nice because it's really easy to clean. I believe in keeping the desk basically empty when not in use, with all monitors/etc. supported by arms. I do leave 2 keyboards, a mouse, and a magictrackpad on the desk itself, since I don't have a good way to mount them to anything.

The site and culture have changed, and it's silly cargo-culting to just go by old pg quotes that speak to a totally different era of HN.

I appreciate your reply. (Yeah, I upvoted it.) If someone had found a newer quotation on the same issue, I'd refer to that whenever this frequently asked question comes up. To the main point, there is no rule here either in the explicit guidelines

http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

or in the established custom of the site that a downvote mandatorily must be accompanied by a reply, nor is there any rule or custom that downvotes are solely to be applied to the kind of comments that pg has described

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2403696

as "comments that are (a) mean and/or (b) dumb that (c) get massively upvoted." The question is a question of line-drawing. I try on my part to make my upvotes far outnumber my downvotes, and I try actively to upvote any comment that made me think of an aspect of a problem I haven't thought about before or that cites information I haven't learned before. I lurk in a lot of threads just to upvote good stuff. But some comments mostly just try to express poorly thought out opinions with little factual basis or to make lame jokes, and there is no particular reason to explain downvoting those comments. I don't always claim that comments that I downvote are from "trolls/rude people"; sometimes they are just comments that don't meet the usual high standards of regular participants here.

Mark - thanks for posting these. I was the recipient of my own batch of such rejection letters during my faculty search in 2002, so I know the feeling exactly. I ended up going to Harvard (not bad!) but the sting of rejection still hurts, no matter where it's from. These days I take it most universities do everything by email, but back in 2002 it was still almost exclusively done by paper mail. Somehow a paper rejection letter feels "nicer" than a rejection email.
It's pretty useful if you're looking for an overview of the US; it's pretty useless if you're just looking for info about silicon valley.
Here's a development tip:

Obviously, to dabble in programming you must learn the fundamentals-- the syntax and grammar. However, your ultimate goal is to envision a problem, device a system that solves the problem, and then gracefully describe that system using your chosen language. You can always look grammar and syntax up in the documentation.

I think you will see the parallels to your current occupation.
Tips for Name Change after Marriage
Many women desire a name change after marriage. Some wish to change their last name while some want to have a completely new name. It is also possible that the maiden name of a woman is combined with the surname of her husband and so there is name change after marriage.

IO heavy applications still don't belong in the cloud. They may make more sense in dedicated servers vs. coloing your own hardware, though.
EDIT: I was wrong (based on misreading website)

They are single-homed to Cogent (at least that's how it appears; I didn't check looking glass), which is fine for a hobby server, but not really good for a startup.

I might be an exception here but I much prefer the whiteboard. I have one in my room and I enjoy problem solving. Pressure environments really do not impact me much. And if you have a whiteboard in your office and you do use it for actual work and not just interviews, this gives me an excellent opportunity to check your quality as a future problem solving accomplice. It provides me a real if brief window into what working with you would be like and I like that.

Having said that, market realities are what they are and I will probably take a month off when I can afford it and put some substantial code out in the wild. Can't hurt to have both bases covered. I will still like to make the point in here that I will be doing this because of the perceived business climate not because I really want to.
Many of the letters started with an apology for being slow, which is a very bad sign. All of them were form letters.

Once an interview occurs then I would hope a far more personal approach gets used. The benchmark for this was McKinsey (I was there 10 years ago). I went through the recruitment process there from both sides, and we had a simple policy to call the person back within 24 hours, letting let them know immediately whether they were in the next step or not. We would also offer to give constructive feedback (and have it to give) to both successful and unsuccessful candidates.
if you are using serious power and are willing to go super high density (e.g. you are willing to pay the premium for blades) BAIS in santa clara is not a bad deal; north of 10Kw usable for under two grand a month. Santa clara power prices are dramatically better than san jose power prices.

I'm trying to move my own stuff in the direction of santa clara.

Of course, at the low end? I mean, if you are the $200/month customer that is thinking about buying from me? that sort of thing probably makes less difference.

The funny thing about he.net is that if you work out the cost per watt, they are more expensive than most places after negotiation. (on the other hand, he.net gives you the price off the top; most other places go for 30-50% over what the real price is.)
I would have been happy to receive rejection letters.

I often get non-committed, non-final quasi rejections along the lines of "we didn't land the project we wanted to hire you for, can we talk in half a year please?" or "we're now moving headquarters and delaying all hiring, would next fall be fine?".

On the one hand it feels good not to be outright rejected, but I always have trouble judging what's really going on. Is that really the reason, or just an excuse? Are they merely trying to keep contact with potential future hires?

Yeah, I find this incredibly irritating. Just getting the real price can take months of back and forth. On the low end, the cost of just the negotiation can dominate everything else.

> it is not within Google's right to fsck up the economy that everyone depends on.

I shut down a non-technology brick and mortar store almost a year ago, partly because of dwindling sales due to the economy, and more importantly because I had a single customer that maintained over 60% of my revenue. That customer decided to move the business they were giving me in-house. Negotiations had been ongoing for over 4 years, both to (naively) prevent them from doing so (it wasn't a surprise that they did, they had been talking about it for years), and to suggest that we could merge businesses. Suffice to say, they hired someone else and I was forced to walk away.

I went through a period of "Fuck them", but I had known all along that if they walked away from me, I was screwed. Relying on a single 3rd party API is exactly the same thing. It's a contract with another business entity. If they decide to implement your additions into their core product (take for example today's Podcast app release form Apple), or if don't like your hair color, or they just don't like what you are doing, it's not "fuck them" it's "what's phase 2?". Grow up and move on. This is business. No one is entitled to consume another company's API, or else there would be no such thing as an API key.

>Spend a little extra money up front for out-of-band access to your infrastructure and leverage the provider for the physical stuff!

This /sounds/ like a good idea until the reality of trying to get someone random to fix an actual hardware problem over the phone sets in.

It only takes one idiot pulling the wrong drive once.

(to be clear, spend the money on oob management, too. Serial consoles are essential if you want to have a hope of knowing why that server rebooted last night.

The essence here really has nothing to do with reincarnation, but rather that a researcher has met the most basic scientific criteria in an area of research, and their research has been altogether dismissed anyway.

That's a fair criticism of the current scientific community, but I suspect that nothing can be done about it without huge cultural changes, at least in the U.S.

Strong refutation of someone's research would require a great deal of research and resources. For that work to become notable in the scientific community, it would typically be supported either by a university or by a respected private organization.

In the university environment, a researcher would be strongly advised against pursuing topics like the investigation of the paranormal. They would be warned that they would be jeopardizing their career; they should go and work instead on some other subject, especially something that's a current hot topic that might lead to some solid funding.

In private industry, if there isn't any money to be made from it, it won't be pursued.

It's not altogether unlike the startup community. I have trouble imagining YC accepting a team that seriously proposed to develop, say, an entirely new operating system from scratch (unless perhaps it was already half complete, and that would be cheating in this case). "Who would use it?" "How will you make money?" "You seem like a great team, why don't you do X instead?"

There seems to be very little space available right now for people who want to devote lots of resources to pursuing something for curiosity's sake.
I don't like all their advice, but one thing that 37Signals does in this situation is just pay the person whatever rate they ask for. In the greater scheme of things, it's not a huge expense, and if you're to the point in the interview process where this actually makes sense, then you have a decent idea that this person is a candidate, and so you can invest a little in the process for everybody's benefit. It's a step beyond the whiteboarding "jump, monkey!" coding interview.

If your looking to Sacramento for seismic or other reasons, the place for scrappy startups is istreet solutions. I'm local to Sac and have had all my servers parked their since 2003 with only a few hiccups. If you inquire ask for Mark (the owner), ask for the "Troy Deal" (I am his first customer, leased a cage of an otherwise empty datacenter in 2003, spent way to many creepy nights behind windows servers and a kvm switch before discovering the serenity of headless linux). Not that he'll give the same deal as his first customer, but it doesn't hurt to ask!

Well, then, they're covered doubly. They are following moral sense and are also following the law. I.e. I do not see how taking this path breaks laws and I don't see their choice as being immoral.

http://www.datacentermap.com/as/18779_upstreams.html
(18779 is egihosting)

Now, that's not a whole heck of a lot better from my point of view; but egihosting (they are another co-lo provider you might want to check out) is multihomed... so if you are the sort that thinks outsourcing means you don't have to worry about it, I have outsourced my multihomed bandwidth to egihosting.

The references to Cogent were referring my last attempt to get a second upstream. (the deal appears to have fallen through? we will see. I will have to write about it. It was a long story, in which a mistake I made 7 years ago comes back to bite me in the ass.)

I mean, yeah, the network isn't awesome, but eh, it is reasonable, I think, for the cost. I think that if you have physical hardware, you are better off spending the money on a second location (and for the difference between my level and 'premium' co-location, well, you can host with me, you can duplicate your setup with someone else in my price range, and probably have some money left over.
