I have gone through the same pain with BOA and finally I had to close my account last year. But the funny/upsetting thing is that even if I closed my account, BOA kept on sending monthly statement charging those monthly fees for several months.
I had to keep ignoring it till they completely stopped sending those statements. I went to the local BOA office to complain and the Banker did not give a damn at all. I have a feeling he thought that a tiny customer who just transacts few hundred dollars a month can not affect the bottom line of the bank and ultimately his job.
And during that time I kind of felt that sometimes the big bank can play a cruel joke and get away with it on tiny customer like us. You know what , I closed my account went ahead and opened my checking and saving account at a local credit union bank and I can't say how happy I am. Hey, it is your money. But watch out! some big banks are very good at ripping off small customers by charging in fees (nickel and dime, heck now a days they have started charging above 10 dollars forget about nickels and dime). As a small fish you are more vulnerable to big predators in the ocean. So beware. Keep eyes open.
Users were coming in, we were so happy – and one day,
someone created a Linux Group on Koding, and he sent
me a message “do you need help?” I replied in a few
seconds, otherwise servers would have crashed before I
could hit ‘send’ I said “yes, but we’re also broke :(”
he replied “who asked for money?”. That’s how we met our
awesome sysadmin, Aleksey.

Sounds like a good approach. Great post!

Disclosure: I work for the funded startup mentioned, Filter Squad.

There may only be one venture fund locally, but there are several around Australia that have invested in startups out of Perth.

Also, That one VC (Yuuwa for those playing along at home) have invested in companies other than Filter Squad (Agworld being one of them - very much a tech startup, despite focusing on very non-traditional web / mobile audiences).

Likewise, Yuuwa invested in a seed round pretty early in Filter Squad (I can't remember exactly when since I wasn't around at that point) - it was just their follow up that was a bit later.

Desktop didn't really peak out at 2006. The clock speeds are not really raising anymore, true, but both architectural and fab improvements make a difference. If you take a look at benchmarks on anandtech for example, you'll find that current CPUs are about five or six times faster in well parallelizable tasks like video encoding or about three times faster in tasks that don't parallelize well.

While this might not seems like much, waiting for something one minute instead of five makes a difference, and 2006 computer won't play FullHD video, and you'll feel the difference on js heavy web pages.

Oh, so 1:1 between processes and event loops? Doesn't that mean that something blocking in one tab (alert(), sync XHR) might will block tasks in any entirely unrelated tab that just happens to share a process/event loop? That seems rather unexpected.
> You do that and you're just trading one race condition for another.

SELECT pk, sqlite, version FROM foo;
-- later
UPDATE foo SET sqlite='myblob', version=43 WHERE pk = whatever and version = 42;
-- if zero row update, there's a conflict

Those are not the race conditions you are looking for.

Terrible design though.

Purely a thought experiment but I'm wondering if a Postgres SQLite data type (similar to the JSON data type) could be workable.

I hope your eyes are much better than mine; good luck reading A4 documents on 7". :-(

I got an iPad 3, it is like reading eInk with fast page changes, so I can browse documentation and not only read literature (cough, out of sunlight of course).

(I'm a bit color blind, so I don't really care that much about the good graphics and color reproduction :-) )

I'd pay good money for a 2-3" larger iPad 3.

Edit: If it wasn't clear -- if you want to read real documents that can't be reflowed, it might have 0 value for the money for you (unless your eyes are < 35 years old.)

As another Perth resident, and one working for a local startup I think that whilst all of your points re. increased cost of living are very true, Perth still has a lot of potential in terms of it's tech and startup scene.

One of the biggest advantages IMHO we have over other states in Australia (that I believe makes up for most of the distance factor) is the more relaxed atmosphere which is very conducive to, lacking a better description, "Getting shit done".

Rent is very high across the board, but more frustratingly getting houses is becoming harder and harder - When I was looking a while ago it was almost impossible to find a single bedroom apartment between Mosman Park and Mount Lawley (admittedly, a reasonably expensive area) for under $350, even if they were old, undermaintained places. The demand for them was significant (most viewings had a fair amount of people) - From the people I've talked to searching for places since, that demand has only gone up further - Driving the prices even higher.

With all of that said and done, Perth is finally getting into the swing of having a startup scene - over the last year and even more focused the last six months, there have been more and more startups popping up in Perth (not just as side projects, but as actual companies working full time on products) and there has been a surge of interested. We're still behind other Australian cities, but it is definitely ramping up in a noticeable way.
I also though the Fucking Janitor was some kind of special job, like a personal coach, a do-not-fuck-in-the-peeroom guard or shit. You know, because of the cap letter. But it's just another case of cussing, how disappointing.
@GulA Thanks for your wisdom (let's reuse this typical i-know-it-all-and-you-dont approach). We're not scaling, if you read the post carefully, you will see that we're looking for the 5th member, and the word 'best' is used correctly. I won't provide additional reading for you, because I don't think you will read them.
Eclipse Code Recommenders Proposes Code Based On Bayesian Networks
Actually, if I understand the wikipedia link, the nuclear free zone allows nuclear weapons.
Also, one thing I missed - there is a definite startup market here for those catering to the mining industry and its boom. I know of at least one (I believe self funded startup) doing just that and they appear to be doing well for themselves.
As part of the Eclipse Juno release, a new project, Eclipse Code recommenders joins the train.

The idea of the code recommenders is to adjust and filter the set of proposals given when the code proposal key sequence is triggered. By default, Eclipse will show the list of public methods (or fields) in alphabetical order. However, when coding against unfamiliar APIs, or ones with many overloaded methods (Quick! Which of the 6 Date constructors is the right1 one to use?), it is not always clear which one should be called.

The code recommenders tool has a database of prior code samples, along with frequencies of the method callers, and uses that to prioritise which method or constructor to prompt for. If most Date constructors use either the zero argument (or single long argument), then these two choices will be presented first, with other ones filtered out. In addition, the proposal can use context sensitive information, so if completing a method call of timezoneOffset = date.get it will prompt the getTimezoneOffset() method as the first selection.

The recommenders project also provides a list of context-sensitive snippets of code. These can be constructed manually, or inferred from existing code samples. As with other Java templates (such as main or syserr), these can be used to quickly implement code.

InfoQ caught up with Marcel Bruch, creator of the recommenders project, and started by asking what prompted the creation of the project:
I understand about making code more clear, but I'm not sure adding complexity/boilerplate solves that in every case- the even more extreme case would be to do away with the class entirely and just have a hash type property that gets passed around.... his very verbose counter-argument is the other extreme, and while I see his point, I tend to want to start with the property and only move towards the "rich object" when I'm sure that it's the best solution....
Hey Darcy, nice to see you again. I guess I got it wrong -- I went by the announcement on Yuuwa's blog.

That makes it two (2) software companies they've invested in. The rest are bioscience doodads. Admirable and impressive, but it means I'm competing with university spinoffs with commercialisation offices to back them up.
This is very true, if the city is built and cultivated on the proper scale.

There's a long video on Prarie Home Companion (on YouTube or Hulu), following Garrison Keillor around as he does the show, and at home in both Minnesota and Manhattan. As he's going through New York, he observes, as you've noted, that it's really a collection of villages.

I've had very similar experiences myself.

The problems are:

1. Recurrent expenditure has risen faster than investment expenditure, which rather weakens the "reinvestment" argument,

2. The way the taxes were introduced have created a permanent sovereign risk drag on investment in Australia, and

3. The rhetoric is what makes it to overseas ears.

Australia needs foreign investment. We are a teeny tiny country in economic terms. And funnily enough, foreign investors want to make a profit.

Since I can't peek into the OPs head, I'll have to speculate but here's my take:

The power of Mustache (and Handlebars) was that it forced you to write logic-less templates. There's just no way to express logic other than checks for existence of values. That means that you have a minimal language that every non-programmer [1] can understand. You can change templates without diving into a language. Walrus changes that to be a pretty much full featured template language with full view logic (hey, look, there's MATH methods in there). It perverts the idea of Mustache.

Thanks, I see that I came off as overly negative, sorry.

The things you link to, and a login; article (that I haven't read yet) put things in another light :)

I still think your webpage needs some work though. I twice dismissed hyperdex as "just another nosql/storage project full of s"#¤". I'm probably not the only one.

It's difficult to put my finger on why it comes off as it does, but it might be the density of buzzwords in the first few sentences.

What I actually want to know when looking at new projects is:

- Where does it fit in the nosql "space"? Is it k.v.? graph? something else?
- Why is it different? Why do we need yet another .. [1]

(Just to be clear, I'm not asking you to answer this here, but IMO you should answer i on your homepage)

I'm not sure. They sound happy and optimistic, whereas you sound cynical and jaded. Perhaps they have different goals.
And while the solution to the secretary problem is well worth the understanding, I'm not sure how applicable it is:

1. There is a single secretarial position to fill.
2. There are n applicants for the position, and
the value of n is known.
3. The applicants, if seen altogether, can be ranked
from best to worst unambiguously.
4. The applicants are interviewed sequentially in random
order, with each order being equally likely.
5. Immediately after an interview, the interviewed
applicant is either accepted or rejected, and the
decision is irrevocable.
6. The decision to accept or reject an applicant can be
based only on the relative ranks of the applicants
interviewed so far.
7. The objective is to select the best applicant with the
highest possible probability.

Is this really how you do your hiring? I won't argue with 1 through 6, but I find that 7 doesn't factor in the danger of a really bad fit. So I always take the second to last candidate to cut my losses. :)
The koding.com home page ("landing page", whatever) is one of the stupidest designs I've seen in a while. It has a huge image hidden partially off the screen at the bottom, but the scroll bar (and mouse wheel) do nothing. That makes me go "fuuuuuu", pretty much.

It turns out they have invented a new way to get content onto the screen, you're supposed to let go of your mouse and press one of the arrow keys so slide the image into view. Double-you tee eff?

Combine that with their attitude, and it makes we want to ... do something else, basically. :)

I wouldn't assume the authorities in question had any of this well mapped out (their preparation indicates they didn't), nor that they're all that interested in this case (it's not that high on the todo list). If this were strictly a matter of stopping Dotcom, and it were that critically important, they'd simply kill him if they couldn't beat him in court (heart attack, he is after all morbidly obese). We kill foreigners 24/7 around the globe for all sorts of reasons (war on drugs, war on terrorism, who knows what else), they could just internally label him an intellectual property terrorist, Obama signs off on an assassination order, and goodnight.

I believe destroying MU was thrown together mostly haphazardly out of desperation. This is an annoying sideshow for an organization like the FBI. They're doing the bidding of a higher up master, that is doing the bidding of the money in Hollywood.
I never said you were scaling. I said that your approach to hiring won't scale.

Right now your approach to hiring is the same as your approach to finding co-founders. Are you saying you're essentially looking for a 5th cofounder?
That's a filesystem isn't it (not NFS as locks don't work properly on NFS filesystems)?

1. One per user - in home directory. Check.

2. Real database with metadata - filesystem. Check.

3. Replication - filesystem (block replication). Check.

4. Redundancy - filesystem (RAID). Check.

So technically it already does that without any need for further abstraction. You can use UNIX perms to set it read only for all and read-write for user, then you can share it :)

For reference, I've built a HUGE amount of stuff with sqlite3 - you are right it does make the world a better place! We use it for:

1. unit test back end for NHibernate as it's fast and in memory.

2. issue/tickets/wiki (trac)

3. data processing.

4. archival datasets.

5. general swiss army knife when you can't be bothered to do it in SSIS.
The same?

Basically yes. After 10th hire, nobody can hire with a blog post like this, for reasons you've stated, plus, there won't be room for co-founder minded, entrepreneurial folks anymore.
>They sound happy and optimistic, whereas you sound cynical and jaded.

Well of course, they're founders so they have to be happy and optimistic, and as an engineer in SV I get people like them wanting to recruit me every day so I have to be cynical and jaded :)

I think the secretary problem applies very much. Ultimately, they're looking with people that a) have relevant skills and b) will fit in the culture.

If, as they claim, they tried all conventional methods of hiring over the past few months (and they have actually met a significant number of people and not just two guys at a random meetup), then they are probably unrealistic in their expectations. Ultimately, past your first or second engineer, you're looking for someone to get shit done, not someone to braid your hair with.

Megaupload raid warrant 'invalid', New Zealand judge says
It is all nice in theory and sounds good if you are in church but in reality it is bad for economy of any country overall if it is not balanced well. If you are very rich you usually have freedom to move your business to other country with lower taxes. In result your country loses. If you are just somewhat rich that's starts to be funny. E.g. with my salary I'm in top 25% of people and to enter this rich class I need to yearn more than 1000$ per month (before taxes). E.g. this number is smaller than minimal wage in USA (8$*160 hours). Any progressive taxation on rich in my country would make people simply emigrate to other countries with lower taxation (e.g. Ireland) or will cripple any motivation to work more (why should I work extra hours for several dollars per hour? That's what would left for me after taxes if some aggressive progressive taxes were introduced here).

Don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against progressive taxes but usually they are balanced poorly and do more harm than give value.
