I just want a dual or quad socket mac pro with haswell processors. I'm forced to use a Mac for iOS development, and large compile times just get annoying. Hackintoshes are not quite right at times and can screw up builds.
Clones often aren't exact clones and have nuances which differentiate them. Sometimes the nuances are very important.
The web App Store descriptions and reviews appear to be low contrast to me.

If you guys want this for free you can install our stack using our GITHUB or Chef Scripts and it can do all of this + a heck of a lot more.

If this is too much work and you want someone to host this for you, you can sign up for our beta at http://invite.kazoo.io. We closed the beta down at 300 or so folks but we're going to be opening it up and adding a lot of new invites in the next couple weeks.

I just don't think this is a service people should have to pay for and before anyone jumps down my throat, yes we charge for calls, but you can bring your own carriers so you don't actually have to pay us anything if you have 5 devices or less on our infrastructure.

The other part that kills me is the cost structures. 100 minutes for $40 is a tad high. We charge $.0099 per minute, so $40 would buy you over 4000 minutes...

If somebody from CallingVault wants to reach out to me, I think we should chat because there's clearly a lot of design effort here, I just think that something has to be wrong on the infrastructure side. I'd honestly love to talk about what this might look like as an Enterprise product because I see more value there. But I digress...
Show HN: FreeSpace, tool to keep your Gmail from running out of space
The DMCA has little to do with the military and everything to do with the fact that humanity simply doesn't know how to accurately value software goods, which are non-scarce in their marginal cost of production, next to a world full of hardware goods, which are strongly scarce and sometimes near-impossible to make more of (land, water, air, etc).
I don't see that happening.

Apple products are luxury items with high margins. They don't need to or want to chase that mass PC money.

I see there being basically three types of person in this market niche:

- Those who want more storage without external latency

- Those who want more than one or two monitors

- Those who want addon cards.

Thunderbolt is capable of solving all of these problems, and in fact there's already market solutions for them. The problem is that the enclosures cost more than the Mac itself, and that's not including the hardware you want to put into them.

Thunderbolt drive enclosures and RAID systems are already starting to fall in price and will continue to fall as TB gains marketshare, but the PCIe cages are still STUPID expensive. If Apple were to release their own bus cage for people to add PCIe cards to their macs at a sane price point, suddenly the MacPro stops being the only Mac with that capability.

A chain-able TB display adapter would also go a LONG way to expanding the Mac's capabilities. One DisplayPort output per bus just doesn't cut it for some power users, and the only alternative is significantly slower USB adapters.
Have you tried it? I've been using it for months and I find it to be simply fantastic. I love the new direction, all except for the store lock-in on the Metro side of things (thanks Apple!)

What's the fiasco?
Right and so the teenager is left with no options to get a job because adults are working extremely low skill jobs. The adult has little incentive to quickly move to a higher paying job because the minimum wage has flattened out the slope of lower end jobs meaning that the manager at the McDonalds isn't making that much more than the burger flipper... so why would the adult bother making the effort?

Meanwhile, the teen gets no experience at just getting up and doing something simple like flipping burgers so wastes his time watching TV or worse. When the teen gets to be an adult, he has zero work experience so what are the only jobs he is qualified for? Minimum wage entry jobs.

The minimum wage is a vicious lie that causes inflation hurting those at the bottom end of the economic ladder while destroying entry level positions for new workers and creating inefficiencies in the trade of money for value.
Apple has abandoned any users who need real power. They have abandoned enterprise. They have abandoned video, 3D, DAW. My company, which would love to maintain our Mac fileservers and OpenDirectory, but we are being forced, kicking and screaming into the open arms of Windows Server, Active Directory, and ExtremeZ-IP. We don't need "desktop-lite". We need server-grade multi-core workhorses to run CPU-intensive workflow automation services (graphic arts, print production, high-end color stuff), but can't get them.

And their iMacs and Mac Mini's? Yeah, we use them as servers because we have no choice. We actually need Thunderbolt now. But they are buggy as hell. The built-in network interfaces on them drop for no apparent reason, and need to be re-started. Three separate boxes do this: 2 iMacs and one Mini. We have actually resorted to putting SmallTree PCIe gigabit ethernet cards (Intel Pro chipsets) into Thunderbolt PCI express chassis, in order to get a stable ethernet stack. Those never drop on us. How can Apple get something as basic as a stable Ethernet port so wrong? No load testing. No desire to fix their drivers or firmware, whichever is responsible.
Awesome fun, played all ten levels. MORE LEVELS!
If raising the minimum wage to $12 is good for the economy, and raising it to $1000 is bad, then there's an inflection point where it switches from good to bad.

Therefore, the theory that raising the minimum wage is good for the economy is incomplete at best.
The point the author was making is that quality digital journalism is in a tough place right now, with small budgets to spend on features, but also the expectation that they'll churn out good work and worthwhile articles.

Open Letter to Marissa Mayer
You're ignoring the fact that if you made $1000/hr, you could afford (and thus would be charged) higher prices for everything else, and so would everyone. Thus you would be producing $1000/hr, it's just that a thousand then would mean less than it does now. That's inflation. So long as people spend and the economy grows faster than that, we're better off than we were.

That assumes that a business would be willing to rage quit. It either needs employees, or it doesn't. How many businesses do you think are carrying an excess of employees at the moment just because the wages are cheap? How many are supplying customers who woulld no longer decide they want the product/service because a small percentage of the total cost of delivery has increased my a relatively small amount, increasing prices very slightly? It is only those jobs that can be offshored at little or no (overall) cost that would be affected, barring ideology-over-sense zealots out to prove a point.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Literate Programming[1]. It's a concept where comments should reflect the programmer's intentions, explain why, not what is going on, intertwining text and code.

It lives on in CoffeeScript and tools like Docco. The just-released Coffeescript 1.6 supports a mix of markdown and code that looks great: http://ashkenas.com/literate-coffeescript/

> Go to a social gathering, or a public event, and you are being recorded, probably from multiple vantage points, through the duration.

As I'm not a celebrity and most of these events are dinner parties, that would be a huge surprise to me - most of my friends do not record video at all.
I've not once ever seen a person wearing a GoPro and I consider myself pretty active

I see them everywhere. Perhaps it is regional.

To your other comment, the vast majority of life is not "deeply personal" or confidental business conversations. Most of life is entirely banal. Which is, I think, how people derive different opinions on this: I don't think I am particularly interesting in the various settings where people capture me, so I just don't care. Others imagine some grand conspiracy where everyone is desperate to watch them, and thus are sure that everyone is spying on them.
I doubt that will happen. The kinds of companies that are willing to give Macs to employees are issuing laptops. The big companies and governments that need desktops (think call centers, account, etc) are just not the market for Macs. They generally have a bunch of applications that only run on Windows, and the cost to switch is just too high.

"So, you will ring fence certain jobs as only for people without families? Perhaps like paper rounds?"

No, what the heck did you read that gave you that idea about what I said? Employers decide everyday how much experience they need.

"But if a job is available to a teenager it is available to the fifty year old who just got laid off and unless it's working in a strip bar, is likely to be a better worker all round."

That is the problem with the upping of the minimum wage. Young workers get kicked out of entry jobs since the "lower wage / less experience" rate is pushed closer to "medium wage / experience" rate. So, employers aren't given a choice of setting the rate to something where part-time teenager is cost effective.
I'm hoping to launch by the end of the year. I'm a student as well, so I want to give myself enough time so that I can still focus on school. We're really excited about it though. It seemed to get a good response on betali.st

Curious for yourself? Try following my simple starter app tutorial of Rails + Ember.js here: http://www.devmynd.com/blog/2013-3-rails-ember-js

Though, I understand the pain of coming from a server-side MVC architecture, I found it refreshing that Ember.js takes the "desktop" MVC approach. Our web apps are now living on the client, acting like desktop apps. Most people struggle with this reverse at first, but can conceptually catch on if shown the way. I think what really needs to happen is a good screencast or two walking through these concepts. I'm interested in putting something together and will when I have the time.
The most interesting question to me: how can I get the dataset they used.
This is what is done in the documentation of many financial 'over the counter' derivatives trades. There's a big book of definitions, which everyone signs up to (part of the process of creating an 'ISDA Master' with each dealer). And the documentation of each derivative trade amounts to a couple of pages that sets out the key terms (maturity date, rates, currencies, etc) using the main definition document as a source for the major terms, while overriding key distinctive points, as necessary.

After a while, if/when 'market convention' drifts such that everyone is overriding definitions in the same way, a new 'Definitions' document is created, and people start to work off that.
I'm not sure how this is news. Every online only game goes down for maintenance regularly.
The people who are actually necessary (worth the additional cost) can buy more things, and businesses in turn have more money.
I couldn't agree less. A retina iMac wouldn't do it.

We'll probably see a new mid-size form factor aimed at professionals, slightly larger than the Mac Mini but with more horsepower and expandability. It'll be called "Mac" straight up. It'll be a throwback to the old Mac G4 Cube that designers and graphic artists loved, with marketing to match.

No reason to have a retina display integrated iMac—it's just not that exciting. What you'll see is the Mac Pro re-imagined for the modern world; one in which the existing Mac Pro makes no sense.

At least, we can hope.
But it is clear. Not this muddy twilight zone of part working part benefits.

Anyway, this is not about the specific wage level, but that wages are the current means of transferring wealth generated from corporations and governments to the populace in an equitable fashion. There are other means of achieving the same end. Let's take the back-to-1950s approach - minimum wage too low? Fine, raise it to 30 bucks an hour and get all married women to stop working - their husbands can now bring home a sufficient wage, and the rise in unemployment is offset by the drop unpeople seeking work.

Why is full employment an achievable goal when it's main purpose is to spread the wealth. How donwe spread the wealth - answer that and unemployment stops being a problem.

Th problem is whatever you do you're locked into an ecosystem of some sort. Even open source software. Have you tried building a portable c program on windows, Linux and OSX? Java is the least painless thing but we all know that's just another ecosystem.

The bit people forget is: stop procrastinating and build some shit.

To be honest, most people really don't give a shit. The next cigarette or pay day is far more important. Perhaps I'm getting old, but there are more important things to worry about.
The most utterly evil profit maximizing business would always prefer that the government mandated minimum wage is somewhere near what they pay their lowest paid employees.

Sad state of journalism that a group of businesses lobbying for their self interest is swallowed so frequently as selfless action for the public good.

If you are looking to increase distribution you may want to consider reducing the title of the game and moving the buttons around so that the game is well above the fold. You can then approach different game portals to host the game iframed in, but with the way it is now you won't have much luck.

Take a look at Cut the Rope web version, they have built a pretty sweet web version.

He did say "200k in debt when we got married," which suggests to me at least that he is talking about all of her debt, from undergrad and medical school.

Still, $250k is a shitload of debt. Putting back a solid $2k/month towards the principal (not even counting interest here) would still take a little over ten years to pay it off.
Reposting my answer to the commenter linked here.

Your answer is true, but stupid.

If by "our country" we're talking about the United States, the answers and solutions are bloody trivial. Many of America's past public policies work better than its current ones; many public policies of America's peers work better than any of those ever implemented in America. When the entire rest of the world has spent a century exploring the solution-space, poaching the best of all systems and implementing it all together in a lean, mean hybrid is not that difficult a plan to come up with. And no, I'm not talking about a wondrous anarchist utopia, I'm talking about tested, proven ways of doing things better than the USA currently does them. Maybe Paradise isn't around the corner, but we've a lot of experience at building a society so self-satisfied and easy to live in that people start contemplating their existential angst.

The deeper problem is that most of the American elite is now composed of people with a vested financial and ideological interest in our current system, mostly loosely referred to as neoliberalism, which has been continually making things worse.

So the hard problem is not what you do once you've won power, because we already know how to run a good society, even if great ones may be very difficult. The hard problem is how you get the people dedicated to ruling over a wasteland to relinquish the steering wheel.
It is legal under fair use, however DMCA makes it guilty until proven otherwise. I.e. you'll have to defend your fair use. Forget the presumption of innocence. The fix will reverse the things to how they are ought to be, and even more - will simply make any circumvention legal, which it should be. It's redistribution without permission that is illegal, not the circumvention.
I don't think you understand.

All design builds on other design. Maybe this guy was "inspired" by LayerVault, maybe not.

The problem is that a DMCA takedown is like using a sledgehammer when you could have just asked nicely first.

This is just bad PR for no reason.
was anybody else put off by the fact that it asked for money before showing you the numbers you could choose from?

Offering a proxy number like GV, means that you want to be able to choose the number you want (area code, easy to remember, similar to your current one).

perhaps this is something that only bothered me.

I know very little about the law, but I think I too would need a change of pants if those orders had been directed at me. Remind me to never, ever piss off a federal judge! It makes me happy to see this sort of detailed inspection of the actions of suspect lawyers though. Surely it wouldn't take many similar actions by federal judges to make the trolls think twice about filing these sorts of lawsuits.
A Xeon class CPU is quite a bit different than the mobile/desktop class CPU Apple puts in their other systems.

I think Macro is being a bit dramatic in that a stagnant Mac Pro means the end of an era and I call bullocks!

Intel's Xeon chips do not advance at the same pace and have themselves stood still. Look at what Dell and HP are selling, they're basically the same CPUs (albeit you can buy one generation newer).

What the Xeon workstation/server architecture provides is a fat I/O pipe that's still extremely important to music and video professionals who rely on near zero latency. Even photoshop cringes when working in print media scale designs that take up a couple gigabytes in a document.

Besides, Apple tends to move slowly when a product isn't front and center, usually milking a design for all it's worth. Tim Cook said they're working on a pro device that will be out this year and I believe him.

I come from Backbonejs background with which I have worked for about 1.5 years. So I feel quite comfortable with it.

I decided to try Emberjs - not for any other reason than trying to pick up something else and see how other JS framework approaches.

I gave full two-days worth of time into it. Initially I thought - "How different can it get?" Plus, I believe even if it's very foreign I'll just keep reading, googling, stackoverflowin', youtube-tutorialin' to get my head around.

I gave up though. Here's my hopefully constructive rant, though my views are probably not as deep as the OP's.

* Many of the posts on the net are outdated. I followed a few tutorials here and there, and then things didn't work, so I asked on Stackoverflow, then the answer I got was "Dude, your code is outdated". Sure this is probably similar thing for other frameworks - but I'm just sayin'

* Models - So there is Ember Object, which you can use as models, but you can also use Ember-data.js which is more "glorified" data. Documentation wasn't clear on the difference. Plus, Ember-data.js was quite hard to get started with. It didn't work well with other versions of Emberjs. I really had to dig in to find the right one to start off with. I ended up cloning a github repo of a tutorial that worked, because nothing else did.

* Documentation on "convention over configuration" - OK, so convention over conf. is fine. But the official documentation and many of the tutorials didn't explain what all the conventions there were. I went through a tutorial app, which only had Controller, but things just "worked", because the Emberjs builds all other things for you. Well I didn't know that! THE BEST INTRO EMBERJS VIDEO I found was this.

http://toranbillups.com/blog/

It finally made sense in the end for me.

* But in the end, among all other things I wanted to do, I gave up, because the frustration was mounting up. I guess I can still persist through it. But I just finished AngularJS tutorial demo and in 2 hours, it makes sense to me.
It is not illegal when it's fair use. But this DMCA section shifts the burden on those who break the DRM (i.e. to prove that something is fair use) instead of keeping the burden on those who should prove that certain action is not fair use.
Thanks everybody! 95 responses so far. Very helpful.
I realized this when I played the currently popular 4 pics 1 word game. I was expecting clever lateral thinking using homonyms. Instead I got 4 blue pictures and the word is blue. But it pops up a U DID IT screen and gives you fake money, with the option to purchase more fake money from the app developer.

People ultimately want just enough veneer on their games that they can pretend it isn't just a big you win button that showers them in confetti.
