Seriously. In my current location I am stuck with a 5mb connection because I'm at the edge of my DSL provider's range and the only cable option in the entire city is Charter (who has truly horrifying customer service AND awful reliability). A friend of mine in town has had to call Charter tech support many many times because of issues he has with their service. I think my entire city would abandon Charter if google dropped fiber here.

If you have alot of data, and network IO is a big issue, you'll want to use something like hadoop (or disco) becuase they come with an integrated distributed file system and they preserve data locality.

If you don't have that much data, MR on redis is fine
World Wide Web Designing
Web design implies covering many different skills and disciplines employed for creating and continuation of websites. Web design is an art of content presentation to an end user through World Wide Web. The different aspects of web designing include information architecture, graphics, user-interface design, using standardised code, and implementation of SEO.
That description states a resolution of 1920x1200 instead of the 2560x1440 on these panels. I think 1920x1200 looks pretty awful on a 24" monitor, so I'm sure it will look even worse on one that is 3" larger.

It's a shame these monitors don't have an HDMI input. Then again, I can't complain given the price.

it's funny that they speak about "making a profit". We have the same price per Mbps in my country as Google's $70/month offer. And we have this since at least 4 years ago.

The only valid point is about building the network, because the cost of that differs from place to place. This is offset with the overselling: who uses 1Gps at home? I have 100Mps and most of the time I don't need it, or, when I need it, the server it's too slow anyway.

I'm sure there are ways to design the environment so that the homeless don't relieve themselves on the escalators (which is what I'm assuming is happening).

First off, how about leaving a washroom open?

Though I know many of the homeless suffer from mental illnesses, I feel somewhat confident that they don't want to crap in public. Could be why they are using the escalators. The escalator siding probably offers them some small bit of privacy in an open station (again not from SF, so don't actually know what the area looks like).

The idea that the cops can't ticket the homeless unless they witness them, somewhat misses the point. What is a homeless person going to do with a ticket? Why would they care if they got a ticket they likely can't pay, and what other options do they have.

As a friend here just mentioned, they would probably appreciate a ticket as then they'd have something to wipe themselves with.
I think that's the point the author was trying to make.

Personal Android Development Hints and Tips file
Probably being a bit curmudgeonly, but a lot of these "learn to code quickly" remind me of the joking around 5 minute abs and the like.

Yes, they will probably help you weave some html/css or understand CRUD apps, but I've yet to see one that will be helpful in understanding more than the basics. Smart people will certainly use this as a springboard to get in on the game and will learn more as they go along. But, depth in terms of debugging problems, knowing how to connect technologies (or craft your own solutions), scaling and the like take time.

I don't think we are at the late 90s stage of "you're a warm body? here is a job", but quick paths to coding, every tom, dick and harry being an angel investor, and the like do give me a pause.

I hope people do learn, contribute, and grow, but...questions persist.
No, because the outcome of fantasy sports depends on the skill of the players (but is not dependent on the actual outcome of the "sport event" itself). It only becomes a matter of chance if you are betting on the result in specific statistics, because then it becomes a matter of chance as to whether they will reach/beat that specific number bet.
It's not surprising you didn't come across it -- I never did in school either. From what I can tell, it's because coroutines were an old idea that were eclipsed by OS threads and the like. They basically became interesting again when OS threads reached scalability limits.

This paper by the authors of Lua has some good historical background:

http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2868

They also poke fun at Python in some ways because the coroutines are fairly limited. Python got them sort of ad hoc with yield in Python 2.4 and send() in Python 2.5. I think Python is by far the most popular language with any kind of coroutine. Coroutines aren't very popular or well understood.
1) "Administrative Assistant" postings attract lots of job seekers. For some reason unemployed candidates like to apply for these jobs.

2) Scammers like to post "Administrative Assistant" postings too. I'd say that at least half of "Administrative Assistant" postings are scam (scammers are trying to recruit people for money laundering or pyramid scheme).

3) Job postings looking for software developers are totally different story. There are plenty of openings chasing limited pool of available developers.

One aspect I've not seen discussed is the impact of a commercial fiber service on city- and county-owned networks.

In the past, when local governments have tried to roll out high-speed municipal internet access, they've faced bitter opposition from entrenched network providers (Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, etc). These companies refuse to roll out fiber, but also lobby for state laws against government-funded fiber[1]. The end result is that residents are left on decrepit old copper lines.

Now there's a large[2] company rolling out fiber, and they have shown explicit desire to work with local governments. Depending on how the laws are written, it might be possible to achieve something close to a municipal network by contracting out to Google. And the Google fiber seems to be cheaper -- I can't find any municipal fiber services offering gigabit for less than $120.

(bias disclaimer: I work for Google, but am not involved at all in fiber stuff)

A con by whom? Obviously, you may not enjoy living close to other people and will choose to live in lower density areas. Fair enough, and, at least in the US, we're not short on space. (I will only add that density is typically measured as people per square foot of ground, meaning you might simply be above and below your neighbors). But creating environments where people can live in higher densities can't be a bad thing.

And the benefits are manifold for those who do want to live in cities. Diversity of options is a big one--that food truck that serves gluten-free venison tacos can only exist somewhere with enough people that such a niche can survive, so the long tail of preferences can be accommodated. Infrastructure is in dense places is cheaper per capita; tearing up one road/pipe/sewer can benefit thousands of people instead of just whoever lives in that one cul-de-sac. Public transportation becomes more practical, enabling people to go where they want cheaper and more easily. A higher concentration of jobs and workers means there can be a better matching of needs and skills, making businesses more successful and workers happier.

So sure, you may wish to forgo all that to have a yard and some space. I'm sure the housing market and broadband companies will oblige. But in general, practical dense cities will be a boon to society, from which we'll all benefit.

Edit: clarity.
"Ideas that did not need an elaborate initial setup or have any cost associated with them."

Ahh. I see. Ok. Ya. I had an "epiphany" idea in software. Invested quite a bit in R&D to see if it worked. It did not. A while later, had an epiphany on the epiphany and so on.

The final solution, which is patent pending, took me quite a few years and quite a bit of money (not including opportunity costs) to figure out. It could be I'm just not that smart and that is why it took me so long. However, I've never seen anyone implement this type of technology. No patent, startup, software that exists already. I've seen people over the last 20 years try to solve the problem I've solved, but without success.

Would this fall under something that should not be patented?

So what are these trackers?

I didn't name it explicitly because I don't really know if pg has any policy of frowning on encouraging piracy here at HN (and most of the content on the tracker I'm thinking of is pirated).

Ask HN: What does 'efficiency' of ads mean? Why does it lower ad value?
At the heart of the Internet business is one of the great business fallacies of our time: that the Web, with all its targeting abilities, can be a more efficient, and hence more profitable, advertising medium than traditional media...

The daily and stubborn reality for everybody building businesses on the strength of Web advertising is that the value of digital ads decreases every quarter, a consequence of their simultaneous ineffectiveness and efficiency. The nature of people's behavior on the Web and of how they interact with advertising, as well as the character of those ads themselves and their inability to command attention, has meant a marked decline in advertising's impact.

original article: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/427972/the-facebook-fallacy/

I'm having trouble understanding what is meant by "efficiency of ads" and how that lowers ad value.
I understand effectiveness, I think: users are habituated to ads and click/notice them less and less over time. Thus ads lose value. (Site operators can't charge advertisers as much)

But efficiency seems to be about targeting users more efficiently. How does efficiency lower ad value? It seems advertisers should be willing to pay more for more efficient ads?

Powershell is being used for very serious stuff (IIS, Sharepoint). And you can take advantage of any .NET library.

I didn't write the article, but taking a stab in the dark as to what the author could be thinking: Efficiency relates to waste - not showing ads to people who don't care about the product/service being sold in them. I believe the argument being made here is as people get more used to ads, they become less likely to click them - therefore the ads stop showing themselves to the users (as they are not being clicked), thereby resulting in less overall performance as you are potentially not showing ads to people who could be on target.
You run the show by architecting your software. Not by counting the number of key strokes you typed.

A Hackathon in a not-so-remote sunny island
As a layman, newb, wannabe hacker etc. this does nothing but excite me.

I long ago conceded the privacy vs convenience point regarding google. I've been a long time customer. I felt (read: convinced myself) then as I do now that the engineering backbone would stifle less than acceptable behavior by the company.

I live in the largest city of a northeastern us state. My options for acceptable Internet are nil. +$120/month for (possibly) 70 Mbps. Which, from experience, is heavily weighted on concurrent usage.

Everything else aside, I want so bad the option to have [insert company (google is winning the race)] to come in an offer me something better.

If nothing else, as has been stated in other threads, this will be an enormous boon for technological state of ISP's in the so far backward US.

PHP Cache: How to Cache XML file in php
Cache is important terminology for website performance. The cache is playing very important role to improve performance of website.
For example when we are accessing web service and This method is accessing very frequently. The web method response is not change frequently.
At that point if we are accessing each time web service ,it’s very costly in terms of website performance.
At that time we will keep a xml copy of response in cache folder and use it again and again until response will not change. Now our mind have question how to identify the response or file has been change.

I'm not a big fan of my current provider, but I think I prefer them to the privacy concerns I'd have using Google.

Almost every existing Google service is based on snooping people's browsing and serving up ads. They've made billions and billions of dollars doing it, and as the ISP they'd be able to snoop on everything. I'm sure they promise not to, but I just don't trust them, and I think there's too much money to be made for them not to do it.
Tell me about it. I just got a comcast connection a couple of weeks ago and comcast has been, seemingly at random, kicking me into a captive portal that tries to scare you into installing their software.

The worst part is that it only keeps me in the captive portal just short enough that I haven't been compelled to figure out how to make dd-wrt stop it yet. I'll be sitting there putzing around on the Internet, try to google something and hit their portal. A few refreshes later and I'll be back in business.

Three weeks was enough for me: then I wanted a dose of civilization and city life, hard though this was to imagine on day #1. Maybe it's different with more people.

Can you start simple, with just a few people and lasting until they get bored, and scale it up gradually perhaps?

Kansas City is pretty close to the geographic center of the US.

... to reduce the cost of the actual last mile to users’ homes it’s telling people in Kansas City that if they want to be the first to get fiber, they’ll have to convince their neighbors to sign up. The goal is to get a critical mass of between 5 percent and 25 percent of the homes in a given neighborhood (Google calls it a fiberhood) committed to signing up for Google Fiber before ever sending out technicians.

Speaking of cost-per-mile as it relates to "the last mile", population-density surely has to factor into how cost-effectively this service can be unrolled. In a densely-populated area, less fiber can serve more people, and can probably greatly reduce the cost-per-household to install.

Seems like the Midwest would require more cost for fewer households able to benefit, at least in the beginning of this endeavor. Wouldn't it make more sense to start on both / either coast, and literally reduce the "cost" of unrolling it marginally to the less-dense areas of the country, proportional to physical distance?
