Seems to me the most difficult is saving 5x between 30-40, especially at that age when a lot of folks get married, have kids and purchase property. How do you save up to 5x - which for a household income of $100,000/yr is half a million dollar; do you really get a lot of tax breaks on mortgages, kids and filing jointly?

Also, at the current rate of US inflation; by the time I retire which is in about 40 years, $30K/year purchasing power will become $110K/year. Social security will not exist when I retire and a net worth of 1 million dollar, drawing down on principal will last me less than 10 years.

For folks in your mid to early 40's, how are you guys planning for your retirement?
If you live in the Seattle suburbs you're going to have a bad time, but it's not bad living within walking distance of most workplaces, the rent is lower than SF and the city isn't allergic to development, and salaries are almost as high, so you're considerably ahead overall.

Also our public transit is awful.
Actually, it's 'frisco'
There used to be very regular meetups - like SFBeta, SVASE meetups, etc. These were actually lively before YC got huge - I believe that this is in part YCs fault in that people are really focued on getting into YC, as opposed to the meetup networking that people went after.

It would be great if YC threw a monthly meetup at 111 Minna.

Came in to say that much of it's true about Portland. The weather's better. Rent and the cost of living is cheaper, but finding a place close-in to downtown is still highly competitive (ie - you have to be ready to put down a deposit as soon as you find a place you like; there is no real opportunity to look at other places and come back). PBR is losing some of its cachet - you just as often see Hamm's or Old German as PBR anymore. I'm pretty sure anyone who has ever live near a city can agree that the 'burbs are always further out than a real-estate agent says they are.

...and unlike Oakland, all the shit people say about Gresham is true.
Semi-related question but...

One of the thing that I love when developing under Emacs is that I can get real-time validation of my XML (eg XHTML) based on, say Relax NG. This even works nicely with multiple-major-mode (eg I can get realtime validation of the XML part, yet see JavaScript as JavaScript inside the same source file).

Now my question: with all these templating libraries like Jade, aren't you losing feature like real-time validation?

And when such a templating library comes out, it means every editor out there as to be modified so that it supports it?

Or is there some kind of a schema that can be used to perform real-time validation + auto-completion?

My point is: I definitely see the point as replacing Jade by Clojure because you can then manipulate your templates as data, which is gorgeous. But I don't see the point of using Jade in the first place...

I mean source that they result in a lot of false negatives and false positives. If Google kept stats on the rating engineers got during the interview and how they went on to do at the company, this would be a good starting point for objective evidence.
Right, but be careful, if you execute that in the <-x case you just created a totally different memory leak since there won't be any more values coming down that channel. The only reason the timeout channel itself is safe is because the channel is buffered. Which incidentally is a good way to handle this particular example: make a buffer of size 1, and then be sure to never ever send more than 1 value.

This is kind of my point: with Go's concurrency, all the contracts are implicit and dangerous, exactly the kind of thing that are supposed to be solved by a good type system and garbage collection (incidentally, Go gets all of that stuff right).

There is no one classification to rule them all -- I'd just like to point out that comparing "American" anything to NYC specifically is a waste of time. To anyone that lives in NYC and perhaps a few other cities in the country, you'd know generalized statistics for the country are way off the real world situation found in the city.
Many people fail to realize that show was not intended to be educational.
I lived for several years in Japan, too. The games start at 3 a.m. there and go until the early afternoon--but on Monday. So there was a lot of furtive checking scores online around the office and extended lunch breaks when word got out that a game was close late.

On the plus side, the Super Bowl is on Monday morning so the day becomes a de facto federal holiday for American expats.
How so? You can certainly unintentionally filter out smart people who didn't go to college (or went to a less prestigious college) by this method.

However I imagine people who fit the description of "dumb guy who fluked his way through MIT math programme with a high GPA" are a pretty endangered species.
Yes, most likely Monday. Are you with IOTworks? If so, I've got your survey and will be sure you're on the list.

Although I should add that the response so far has been way beyond what we thought it would be (which is fantastic!), so it may take some time to get to everyone. The beta literally just opened this morning, and I'm not ready to open up the product before working with beta users to polish it up.
No way, last time I went to SF it was $20 for two burritos. Compare to $10 at Roberto's in Mission Beach, and they don't put sour cream in the carne asada...
Seriously? Talk about a strawman. No one is comparing how much taxes are in Somalia to NYC. Tell me how much more a web designer in NYC benefits from the government than another random person in NYC taking welfare.
I think you have it backwards. If your salary is 50k, they suggest trying to save up 50k by the age of 30, 250k by the age of 40, and 500k by the age of 50.

Keep in mind this isn't direct savings. Stock and other investments count.
Correct me if I'm wrong but even if boring() was a much simpler function that returned after generating one value, if the timeout happened first it would be left hanging.

Such is the case of the time.After() function, which easily solves the problem by returning a buffered channel. That would not work for an infinite generator of course.
It feels like you could use the exact same argument to justify a 99% income tax. If government passed a 99% income tax, would you support it with this argument, or would a different argument come into play to say it's too much?
When he says the complex grammar is a barrier to entry for implementation I think he is referring not to the difficulty of writing code in Ruby, but to the difficulty of writing a Ruby interpreter.

The equilibrium behavior of millions of people is just the aggregate of the behavior of individuals in small-scale interactions. A better objection would be that not all small-scale interactions can be modeled as two-person games.

Yes, I'm assuming "rational" actors, in the sense that they respond to incentives in a way that can be modeled by game theory. But that's not actually a very extravagant assumption. In particular, it does not entail that "rational" actors have to be conscious of the incentives they are responding to. I think many people who respond "rationally" to Prisoner's Dilemma-type incentives are not actually conscious of them; that's what I meant by my comment about tribal instincts. For example, saying that people punish defectors for emotional reasons rather than coldly calculated rational ones misses the point, because the emotions evolved in response to the same sorts of game theoretic incentives.

If you really object to the "rationality" assumption, then you need to come up with a better one. Attempts to do that (I'm thinking, for example, of the work of Kahneman and Tversky) often end up showing that the incentives involved are more complicated than we thought, not that we respond "irrationally".

Oregon is similar in that voters can specify things for the state to spend money on. However, I think the root of it is that California is a lot (more than 10x) bigger than Oregon. Any independent group that wants some money earmarked gets a much larger payoff in California than in Oregon. On the opposite side of the same coin, an overzealous reform group gets more bang for their buck getting a bill passed in California, too. Oregon has had its share of bad bills too, but as far as I understand it we just have far fewer than California.

"The City" refers to the core of whatever urban area you're in. It's meaningless outside of your local frame of reference. The only place in the US that has a halfway legitimate claim universal ownership of that name is NYC and that's tenuous at best.
But isn't the point that the externality is in fact not that heavy? That implies that the process is at most 97% efficient, which is actually pretty damn good (of course, there'll be other inefficiencies, but nobody's complaining about those). If the rest were burnt in internal combustion engines to move cars about, it's almost certainly < 30% efficient and very often < 20%, which implies most of the externality comes from people further down the chain.
It looks good, but knowing VIA, it's not a question of if they screwed something up, but where.

For loops that manipulate strings in various ways however is probably something that most programmers will have wrestled with reasonably regularly I imagine.
Generalized statistics are quite reasonably applied to NYC. The NYC average wage (37k) is only about 10k more than the national median, 28k.

Yes, the wealthiest people in the world live in NYC, but the average New Yorker is not substantially wealthier than the average American, by any measure. He is, in fact, poorer, thanks to cost of living. There are census tracts in NYC where the median income is under $10,000.
This article reminds me to ask a pointless mind-bending riddle to each applicant just to weed out prima donna programmer types who can't handle a little mental poking and prodding during the course of an interview designed to see if he/she will be a good fit for spending a good part of his/her waking day with me every day.

There are people who pay 40%+, however they're a relatively small bunch. Basically singles making $250-$400k in ordinary income. Basically, no quintile, nor the top 5% or 1% sub-groups pay more than about 30% on average: http://www.ctj.org/pdf/taxday2011.pdf

That's a fair point. Really, I think we're making the argument that we prefer data approach to templates (i.e., language-native data structures (maps, arrays, strings)) represent html structure.

You can certainly take that approach in JS. domo-js isn't quite that, it would look more like:

["html" ["head" ["title" {class: "class1"} "Welcome to Domo"]]]

As we say in the post, you can totally pull all this off in JS, but I think if you're going to be manipulating nested data structures, it's better to have immutable data structures built in and the suite of functions that can manipulate them. Clojure makes building template structures really easy: persistent data structures, map/seq argument destructuring, keywords, sets, etc.
Late correction, I know, but Apple does not offer a $200 iOS developer program. Depending on which of their 4 iOS programs you choose, the costs can be free, $99, or $299. See https://developer.apple.com/programs/which-program/ for specifics. Most of the confusion I have seen is around the Developer Program (Company) and the Enterprise Developer Program.

It seems more likely that this was an Obama campaign advantage, rather than a Democratic party advantage.

The translation over isn't obvious. From what I've heard their internal organization was pretty fluid. That kind of thing depends on the quality of people involved, their commonality of purpose, and the organizational culture. You can't box that and roll it over to party HQ.

That said, Democrats do seem more likely to attract and motivate the kind of people you'd need for this. That's a pretty important head start.
On the contrary, I noticed a lot of distracting grammatical mistakes.
When I moved here I took a 6 month lease, since that was the cheapest option - my apartment building has a weird rent pricing structure. When it was up to renewal, they raised my rent $500 from $2400 to $2900 (for an 11 month lease, which was the cheapest option). I'll probably be moving when this lease is up.

A quick google suggests that the patent sale price can be set arbitrarily, and the proceeds of the sale are simply taxed as either normal income or capital gains, depending on how the IRS feels that day. This corresponds with my thought that it's basically cost-free to reassign patents. The applicable laws I found were 26 U.S.C. §1235 and §1231.

I would be interested to know how it actually works, because IANAL.

The nice thing about dommy (github.com/prismatic/dommy) is that emacs doesn't need to be changed at all to use it. It's just clojure and all the highlighting and the emacs major mode work.

Also out of the box, you get a repl to live test and evaluate template functions and data structure. It would only take a few lines of emacs lisp to take a string from the repl and pipe it through XHTML validation.

No offense but it's hard to call this "selective". If Aaron had simply given up during one of the first few roadblocks put up that would have been the end of it. No calls to the police, no charges, no nothing.

MIT didn't even know it was Swartz until he stupidly re-entered the network closet for the second (or third?) time and finally got caught by the police that MIT had to make special arrangement to have standing by.

If you make yourself the object of a inter-agency sting operation then it's a pretty fair bet that there might just be charges coming en route when you get caught.
It's not a straw man at all.

You asked: "Please explain how a web designer making $250k a year freelancing out of an apartment in NYC is "benefiting" from the government more than a $30k/year individual on welfare."

How do you measure how much someone benefits from the government? Your comment suggests you're looking only at the value of services directly received, but that's not the proper way of computing the total benefit. You have to do a marginal analysis, looking at the incremental benefit as you go from "no government" to "government."

The economic insight here is that your benefit from the existence of government is not a fixed amount valued by the services you utilize directly. Rather, it's a percentage of the incremental gain in wealth that is enabled by the existence of government. And because societies without government basically cannot create more than subsistence-level wealth, that increment is a big number.

My experience interviewing with Google (a couple of times in the last 3 years) is full of what can be considered "riddles". They weren't obvious riddles, but where questions "to know in advance", specially considering the short amount of time to answer them.

The second time I got quite frustrated about that, specially on the last one after doing a couple interviews before that I was happy with the kind of questions I was asked (relevant and intelligent), so I'm not probably going to give attention to Google recruiters any more.
