How does this work for people with families?

I'd really like to see someone turn a cruise ship into a moving, floating tech city that would move about the world (possibly spending a week in each port, allowing inland travel) so people can travel but also have a stable support network. It'd even have a school for people with kids. It'd probably be cheaper than living in New York or the Bay Area.

Lego Technic Excavator 8043 - Time-lapse build from my Lego Technics Channel
Today I'm going to build the 8043 Motorized Excavator.

Did you know that the excavator has 1123 pieces, thats amazing, - that's really amazing!

So, when you like my videos, then don't forget to subscribe, bye.

Check out my Lego Technics Channel for more Lego Technic Videos.
It appears they now have a hard redirect set up, so I would say this was a mistake.
It's in the Turkish government's to use these invalid certs as little as possible, so they are probably going to use them against people like Turkish dissidents.

(I don't mean to dismiss their interests, but they are distinct from other people's interests.)
Any rapid change that you notice in your body should be checked out by a doctor.

Tinnitus is frequently a result of hearing loss, I couldn't tell you if it is ever a precursor.

I have moderate tinnitus in my left ear and also some hearing loss. Tinnitus can be pretty obnoxious, it's one of those weird things that if you concentrate on it, it gets worse.

I'm hopeful for some sort of procedure or drug to someday alleviate it, but for now I just live with it.
I love it. I think it's the first Show HN that I've bookmarked and will use!

Could you queue up the next video so that it's already loaded when the current one ends?

It seems like it should be easier to make a playlist and share it. Also, I would to be prompted to switch to an alternate playlist based on "favorited" songs, if the one I'm on is boring me.

Again, great work! I've been waiting for something like this.

Now how do we put a similar incentive in place at the corporate level to get them to hire onshore?
I've had similar experiences. Recently my internet provider discontinued this service, and I'm not sure why. Luckily, the Social Media team were able to be transferred to other departments (and not completely laid off).

My guess is that they were losing a lot of money doing this. (Back story) I've had an on-going problem for about 2 years about slow speeds and contacted the BBB because nothing was being done after numerous complaints over the phone. They did a fix and the problem still continued. I've posted on DSLReports and my ISP's Social Media team helped me out so I continued to use them. I've received numerous credits to my account by just complaining to the SM team, which I think is more than fair--even though I didn't specifically ask for credits.
Most of the 3D games on touch devices already have the basic virtual control pad. So it's just a matter of enabling that into the real controller, and extending it.
On the other hand, the links have this string in them: <snip>/CS2_EOL/<snip>

So maybe they decided to give it away, because it's EOL'd sooo hard. Let's see how this develops :)
It depends how you feel about moving your kids. Because your skills are mobile and your wife does doesn't need to find a job it will make things much easier. I'm living a compromise version of this lifestyle. I have lived in three cities in four years. Instead of constantly traveling, when the urge to ride on to my next adventure strikes I book passage on a plane and rent a furnished apartment in a new city.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=muricans

"Inhabitants of The United States of America. Typically uneducated and/or ignorant, they tend to have conservative political stances, speak only American English (no foreign languages), tend to only live and travel exclusively inside the United States, have strict religious ethical codes and practices, and rarely understand or mingle with people of other cultures, races, or ethnicities. Merikans are often disliked by citizens of other Nations and tend to be parodied in foreign television, movies, or other media. They tend to also be disliked by many other Americans."
Such a strange twist to everything. While everyone was already second guessing their ouya backing. Nvidia essentially releases a much better device months before the ouya is due out. The major complaint of everyone buying the ouya is there was no screen. Not sure why people are saying this will fail. Ouya raised 8.5 million for a non portable version of this with a worse controller. I think initially this will help out everyone, including android in general, and the ouya. The only thing that would kill this is a high price tag which i'm at this point kind of expecting. 199 or 169 the retail 3ds prices are a bit high imo. The $99 price is what sold the ouya. I'm pretty curious where this will fall in the market.

That's not where that bit.ly link points to at all.

I've used tubair before and liked it, also will use your application but I wish you could have user voted results rise to the top. For example neither site shows the user the best version of the "The doors" song 'the end' because the best version on youtube is the clip from Apocalpse now. the studio probably cleaned it up when they made the movie.
Also would like an application like this that could work with the screen off so I can use it on mobile phone.
Thanks!
It is based on it but the content updates in real time.
This is just one modified website, you can modify a different website or use a different JS plugin.

That's how Nate's doing this one: thread opens at 12:00, then he shows up at 2:00. It should hopefully work out well.
I'd advise you not listen to comments that mention "cult of personality" and this sort of stuff, you gotta turn this around... it's your friends fault he can't communicate properly, not everyone else they don't live inside your friend's head!
This is still slow as shit, why? It seems to be running under php when the whole thing could've been generated with jekyll and maybe even pjax'd to make navigation even quicker.
> But either way, who benefits?

He's selling his books, his $7 newsletters and $50 / month memberships to some kind of club (or just $3000 for one-off lifetime membership!)

Re: his 'health equation'. It's obvious to you and me that you can't take it literally. But is is obvious to everyone? Particularly, is it obvious to the people he's marketing to? There's no need for a mnemonic to help people remember "get as many nutrients per calorie as you can". The equation is there to give a veneer of scientific legitimacy to his books and courses.

> I'd just hate for people to live a life of pain and suffering believing "inflammation in the colon has nothing to do with what is eaten" when it probably does.

The problem is that the medical establishment is, at best, undecided on whether diet is a factor in ulcerative colitis. I'm sure that there are some things the medical establishment is wrong about. But they are right about a great many things too.

Your claim that they are "probably" wrong is apparently based only on what this guy says on his website - a site that which seems to exist mainly to market his ideas, and sell his books, newsletters, nutritional supplements, foods and website memberships.
Thank you for your wishes and advice.
Thanks; I'll give that a try shortly.
I think maybe the same rule of thumb applies to tinnitus; if it starts suddenly without warning and persists then get it checked out. Otherwise, it may be normal. I've had mild tinnitus for years but it never occurs during the day unless I've been listening to very loud music and only rarely happens for a few seconds right before falling asleep. Fortunately, my symptoms also haven't gotten perceptibly worse for the last few years.
Deleuze was not an existentialist, to get that out of the way. He specifically thought that Hegel and dialectics was terrible, but I'll just leave it at this.

Just because it is an alias does not mean that it cannot also be a role: roles have names, you know. ;)

> We don't all start calling each other "Steve Jobs" when we put on black polo-necks and start being mean to each other.

This is not even close to what I mean. You would say that someone that does that is 'acting like Steve Jobs' though, no?
Whether you're a thief or not, is it harmful merely to wonder if you might be? I believe not.
Having worked in law enforcement, pepper spray is misery. Everyone in the area gets some exposure, it burns for like 45 minutes at least, it clings to skin and hair and clothes (and police car seats) and you don't realize it until your eyes are burning again the next day because you scratched a crevise of your ear and then later rubbed your eye. Forget wearing contacts for a day or two. If you get maced (Other irritants gasses besides the pepper spray) all of your mucus membrane decide the drain all fluids possible and you're coughing up a storm.

Really, just hope you get tazed instead. Hurts a little more but it's over so much quicker. Or, if possible, avoid physical confrontations with the police.
I think there's an exponential return on efforts for a lot of this work. Most people can't take away enough time from their day job and responsibilities to get good at it, but people who do and take an investment mentality (investing their surplus time back into their skills and contacts) can take off.

For example, if I spent 6 months on an app, I doubt it would pay rent, because there's a lot I'd have to learn and it would probably (?) be amateurish. On the other hand, if I cut out 18 months and kept iterating, I'm sure I'd do better, financially, than I'm doing at my day job.

I haven't won this game yet (I have a fairly typical day job for a top-5% programmer of my age) but it seems like the trick is to find an avenue where you can rapidly get better, invest heavily in yourself when you find it, and eventually be independent.
Maybe, but the style invariably turns on my shuckster-dar. But what you're saying is that perhaps that's the intent: only the easily persuaded proceed and the jaded bounce.
I don't know if I am alone, but having no global view of methods in a category without scrolling down is a noticeable loss of productivity for me. I, too, would prefer a "cosy" setting of some sort.

It's not practical to fork all projects if you have a lot of them. And Debian failed in packaging Python and Ruby libraries (IMHO). That's why I created http://gonuts.io
They are! They also cost a bloody fortune for a crappy model when you do manage to find one. None of that lovely British high-tech, insta-boil, sleekly designed space age stuff here: it's all vintage 1980 two-cup Travelodge hotel room specials. For $150.

When we moved to the USA my wife was furious with me for refusing to buy her an electric kettle. It took me months to explain that I'm not spending over $100 (plus the electricity to run it) when I already have a nice old fashioned stovetop model and the landlord pays our gas bill. Water still boils at 100 degrees, and it's just as fast on the burner. (She claimed it 'tasted different' but I didn't have the heart to point out that that was more due to the different water than changing how we applied heat to it.)
Ask HN: Where is the best place to find HS/College Brand Ambassadors?
I've posted ads on Craigslist and at schools but am having a difficult time finding brand ambassadors (similar to bzzagent.com) - either paying directly or giving swag. My startup is directed at students so that is not the problem. The students I've encountered so far have been very motivated and then did abut ultimately did nothing. I'm in the US. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Right. That is my family. They literally say 'murrican' instead of American. They watch Fox News, read every Glenn Beck book, and were birthers. They think I'm a homosexual because I wear skinny jeans. They fit every single one of those stereotypes.

None of these things are judgements: they're statements of facts. They'd think that all of these qualifiers were positive.

You can imagine what happens when I bring up anything French.
Your points are of course valid. I was just saying there are many things one can offer the teacher, and donations shouldn't be one of them.

It's popular, and provides value within that niche.

There are TONS of legitimate business possibilities that are entirely remote. Software is a big one. I've met lots of developers who travel and work remotely.

I personally have a pretty decent side income in book royalties, from Amazon and a couple of affiliates. If I can ramp that up a bit, I'd consider traveling.
The Lifestyle Business and Tropical MBA podcasts give some insight into this world. Basic idea is to set up "lifestyle business(es)" that provide you enough financial freedom to travel, etc. Downside is that the lifestyle is your passion, not the work you do, and it has a definite non-hacker approach.
Agreed... the state in India is such that many are not even aware of the concept or think that they will never need it. The point of the campaign is to educate, provide access, and hopefully encourage everyone to get the proper training. That probably applies to every form of self defense, no?
A UX guy's perspective, now that I've used the app a little:

* The "I want to explore..." box doesn't really scream SEARCH BOX at me. My first instinct was that it was a kind of "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. You might be able to make it a little 'searchier' just by getting rid of the all caps and left-aligning the text.

* Scrolling through the Places menu is pretty laggy (on my iPhone 4S, at least), especially when compared to scrolling through photos, which is lightning fast.

* I love the pleasantness of the copy/messaging in the app. When it prompted me to share, I couldn't help but tweet it. One thing you might consider doing for that menu in particular is making it a two-step thing instead of a three-step thing. Right now, you ask the user if they'd like to share, then which network they'd like to share with, then they have to do the actual sharing. Why not unify that first and second step into a single prompt?

* In the pane in which the I Want To Explore box has focus, the spacing/balance could be improved. One way to improve it might be to remove the Location Filter tag altogether.
Perhaps it may seem so. That said, the original Wunderlist was likely the most infamous use of the original technology that reached millions of users.

It's no slight against its makers to have gone purely native but the fact is that most companies developing a todo app do not have millions in investment or the sort of native programming capacity to throw at this kind of project.

TideKit is a solution that is going to get you on all platforms quickly and its only improving over time. As you might be aware, the new Wunderlist 2 seemed to have lost its linux support as a result of their recent shift.

We're hoping to show something quite soon that shows a speed and quality of development that will have most wundering why they transitioned to native.
Wouldn't Adobe stand to lose a lot of money, since people can use the upgrade path instead of a full purchase?

I imagine that would be a stopping block to making earlier versions free or very cheap.
Water Damage Chicago
One of the trickiest types of restoration cleaning services to be dealt with is water damage. Because water infiltrates spaces both hard and soft surfaces and it can become airborne. In its various forms it can cause serious damage to property. Since many materials are porous, that is, they breathe, water can attach itself to various molecules and mutate into all sorts of bacteria and contaminants. Nothing about water damage should be taken lightly. It can be a catalyst for all sorts of breathing problems, structural damage, buckling surfaces and rotted materials. If kept unattended for too long it can cost thousands of dollars to fix and repair. Therefore, time is of the complete essence to get the water out and its contaminants and dry the space out as soon as possible, the longer the wait the costlier the damages to your property. Many delay. Only to find out later that something was amiss or they tried to do it themselves. When the heavy rains come don't try to do it yourself. Call a professional who has been trained. It may cost you a bit more but you will be confident that the training, time and effort from a certified professional will save more time and money in the long run.<p>Water damage can happen just about anywhere. Make no mistake. Your property does not have to sit on a flood plain or water logged area to get water damage in your home. It comes in all shapes and sizes and travels wherever there is an opening or space. Water travels in what is called a T format. That is, straight across both ways and down, seeping into cracks and crevices. It sits there only waiting if not dry out properly to haunt later in the form of mildew, mold, contaminants or other bacteria.<p><p>Get the water out as soon as possible. Save your property from one of the deadliest of catalyst known to man, Water Damage.
I did a lot of stuff with brickOS when it was still legOS. I started out in NQC, but it just wasn't fast enough. I had a two-wheeled robot that did dead reckoning by counting wheel revolutions to figure out where it was in the room. NQC took about one second per navigation update. My robot was kind of hilarious running NQC, because it would jump forward and then stop for a second while it calculated the navigation update, then jump forward and stop again, etc.

Using native C, I got the navigation update cost down to 10ms, allowing for smooth driving without having to stop and wait for calculations.
The proprietary drivers suck because AMD is focusing on the open source ones. Big changes are coming for the OS driver. They've been making vertical changes that don't break down into small releases well.
Rejection vs. Failure: Which is Worse?
There's Blueseed (http://blueseed.co/) and recently, I read about a planned kind of entrepreneur cruise (I can't find that one right now, perhaps it's organised by Blueseed as well). Neither is intended for families, but in the long run, they might offer that.
"I hope in 2013 you'll lower the bar on the writing and publish more, you might really enjoy it."

I have one more long post I'm determined to finish if it kills me. It's already 30,000+ words, so granted it's arguably not even a blog post anymore. But yeah, I'm basically cataloging all the infrastructure problems in the US. So I'm taking all the different issues you see people bring up all the time in various articles, linking every single fact to a primary source, and aggregating all those in one place. And then writing some analysis on top.

After that I'll go back to writing shorter stuff though.
> inherently accusatory

It unequivocally is not. It is pointing out a fact: I am a white, upper-middle-class, English-speaking, computer-literate, straight, cisgendered, first-world male with a supportive family unit. These are all descriptors which lend me advantages--on average and in the long run--that people exhibiting other available descriptors do not have. No one has ever told me that I am a bad person for having them (or if they did, I probably brushed it off as a ridiculous notion), but they have asked me to recognize that it is so, and incorporate that understanding into my critical view of our culture.

That some take offense to facts would seem to me to be out of the hands of those pointing them out.
One thing that I would add is that Chibi Scheme is trying to be compatible with the R7RS-Small specification (for those of you interested in working on the bleeding edge).

Why I Didn't Want to Be A Developer
If it's something you want to do, my best recommendation is to save a large percentage of your income.

I started without a savings buffer, and have managed to do alright. But there were many moments where having spare cash could either have let me outsource certain work, or avoid having to do work to earn money in the short term.
Damn it. I came in all skeptical ready to fire away and found out the site is actually very nice. My trolling has been thwarted. Good job!
I was born blind so have never known any different and have always done everything on the computer with speech and brail. From talking to people who have lost their vision later in life it generally seems the older you are when you lose your vision the harder it is to adapt and live a normal life after vision loss. Since you know it may be a possibility though I assume may have some time to at least cope with the fact that you could lose your vision and have a longer time to acclimate yourself to this fact rather than losing it all in a hunting accident. If you have a MAC play with voiceover which is built into the OS, it has a nice getting started tutorial. As for how I program see the following stackoverflow question.
