In France there is no premium on insurance if you have a fireplace or stove, but you have to declare it, keep it to the norms and do the mandatory yearly check by a professional.
Of course There isn't a fixed amount of wealth. But when a small number of people possess a vast majority of the wealth that is currently in existence, they also possess the means of wealth production and therefore control. By worrying about what the CEO makes, I'm worrying about what I make, too, because their influence directly affects my ability to create wealth for myself.

Please don't tell me that I shouldn't worry about the telecom CEO because I can just start my own telecom. I know the start up culture allows certain adventurous and well-funded white people to take a stab at their dreams, but let's not pretend there aren't a handful of very wealthy pulling the strings.

The system we have in place shows you prices as found from different locations -- so if you search from the US you will be shown prices in $$ and if you search from say Brazil, you will see prices in Reals. We can add the conversion as a feature.
This slideshow is an advertisement. An advertisement for the book, the authors' personal recognition, and probably LinkedIn and other ventures the authors are involved with. After all, the book has been out for a year, so it's time for a new round of marketing.

It's also a tiring rehash of generic career advice we've all heard a million times if we ever bothered to take a look. I'm weary of the many versions of the old "send me $1 and I'll tell you how I became so successful" shtick floating around. The details change a bit, but only subtly. The tactic still works, primarily because of clever marketing, and the world is full of people who primarily want to read about being successful. This target market is a gold mine.

A fraction of people who read motivational career advice actually execute, but that's of no concern for marketing types who want to sell you the promise of success if you would just read their material. Hopefully you'll pay money for their book, but if not, just the name recognition is payment enough.

The authors imply that you have to be well-known, recognized, networked into the right people to achieve success. I call BS. To do what they do, that may be accurate, but I've been around long enough to personally know people you've never met and will never hear of who are worth millions because they grasped the basics of creating value for others and tenacious, ruthless execution on basic business principles. There are plenty of them here on HN, actually.

You're not getting it. You can't date anything non-biological using carbon dating. It's not that you get the wrong answer. You get no answer, since you don't know a-priori what the ratio of C12 to C14 was when the sample was formed. The equations are under-constrained.

You can still use radiological dating with other elements (e.g. Uranium).

I agree with you, but everything you say about SEO can be said of PR. The difference is that PR is a more mature field and people understand what it's about.

It probably also helps that few have the attitude that they are entitled to news coverage the same way they feel entitled to traffic. So we accept that it's capricious and that someone who knows what they're doing can get results. And that's OK.

Anyway, who cares about "blind SEO hate on a start-up site?" It ultimately gets punished by the market.

If you hate SEO, great. Make your site hard to crawl chock full of duplicate content and inscrutable urls; don't bother to get authority signals (links) deep and wide; don't make pages that satisfy search intent.

Your competitor who DOES will get traction, funding, a better team, and down the road you'll be yet another guy at a bar saying, "Yeah, I used to have a startup... tough racket."
The underlying issue with inequality isn't that some people are rich (although many progressives fall into the trap of making it about this), it's about how to alleviate the unfortunate fact that some people will always be poor because they aren't capable of generating much wealth.

It doesn't take a 'socialist wealth envier' to realize there are serious problems with large imbalances in wealth. This turns into the classic liberal (as in libertarian) vs modern liberal debate. A classic liberal will claim inequality is a natural consequence of an open market and therefore doesn't need to be fixed. This is an increasingly fringe opinion that even most economists disagree with. A classic liberal believes in redistribution of wealth, which unfortunately doesn't fix the underlying issue.

The sad fact is, there may be no clean solution. But that doesn't mean people shouldn't discuss it. Inequality is getting worse, and it looks like it will continue to get worse. This is a problem.
Manhattan has this problem, but it also has a much deeper bench of economic diversity. DC has The Fed, which is unlikely to go anywhere this century.

Finally, both Manhattan and DC have good transit systems that link them to larger outlying areas. So for NYC you have stables of lower-rent areas in Brooklyn, etc. In DC you've got Northern VA and up toward Baltimore.

Can you point me to a detailed Google document on how to migrate a large say 5M page site from several platforms to another one.

I had to work with 10 RC's and almost 5 months from the third party developer to get FWI's new classified platform in a fit state to launch - and that snot counting the work to develop the redirect plan.
Thanks for a rather nice example :)

Actually, it's somewhat meta for me: While I didn't squirm that much in the fireplace example, I'm a bit surprised by the amount of 'squirming'/'flaming' shown in this thread. I don't want to believe it. I want HNers to be able to discuss the topic at hand (confronting your own dilusions) instead of falling into the trap warned twice of (by OP and you).

If I were still a student I might hope that this will be a sort of "it gets worse before it gets better" moment, in that the faculty are the only party even theoretically capable of arresting Harvard's ethical and managerial decline. Experience indicates that having been blind for decades, they're unlikely to see the light now. The Harvard bureaucracy is big enough and old enough that its true purpose is itself. Only the faculty ever had the power to re-focus the bureaucracy's efforts on students and veritas. I wonder if they still have that power now.

Though TFA quotes several professors' criticisms of the administration's actions, I wonder how much of the issue they're really seeing. Mitzenmacher, for example, has in the past defended the Ad Board categorically. (e.g. http://mybiasedcoin.blogspot.com/2008/10/on-ad-board-harvard... ) Prof. Lewis, however, I find an inspiration in every sense: academic, moral, human, etc. I just have the feeling that he is a lone voice of decency in Cambridge.

'Revenge porn' site owner sued for defamation
For what it's worth, I've got 16 tabs open in Chrome at the moment -- the process has been running for days -- and it's taking 2.6 gigs of RAM. This is without tabs like Facebook and Twitter, which I will not leave open any more because of noticing how much memory they were burning through just sitting there. A lot of those tabs are simple things like a static page I generated myself or github pages.

At the moment, Chrome's response is still snappy, but it certainly is not unusual for it to get pretty bad in my experience, particularly if I'm doing something else memory intensive at the same time.
Thanks for the feedback. At the moment, one way to achieve this is to "pin" the gmail tab. OneTab will not close any pinned tabs.

I agree that the first of the Tropes vs. Women laid out some pretty standard feminist theory applied to game culture, but if she's not rocking the boat by doing so, why all the death and rape threats?

Also, the idea that criticism or commentary is inaction compared to creating the content or media being commented on is a fairly common anti-intellectual meme that really has an awkward place in comments thread of an article.

"It would be nice to see someone who hears about something interesting and actually writes an article about it rather than someone who writes a comment in the thread attached to that posted article."
IMO sarcasm is a form of irony that's brief and especially cutting.

Please, don't swap the facts. Opera (Presto) was conform to the standard, but most web developers focused only on webkit and implemented too much browser-specific code.
What evidence do you have that Microsoft would not have created a web browser but for Netscape? Or rather licensed one, because that's what they did when they could not purchase Booklink.

Had Microsoft not shipped a browser with Windows, browsers would have remained obscure shareware like Netscape Navigator and AOL or Compuserve would have been the standard online experience of most people for much longer.

Here's How the Cloud Could Have Saved SimCity
I think the core argument of the blog post is to use a voltage regulator with a low quiescent current. It doesn't really matter what uC you're using since it's only turned on every few seconds with the watchdog timer, however if you used common voltage regulators like the 7805, lm317, or lm1117, you'll use up the battery in short order.
I can answer the point from a different perspective. You are right in what you say, except in the UK for example you won't raise any money at all without a business plan. It answers questions like "what are you going to spend our money on?" and provides background to the founder(s).

Perhaps in the USA it is different and money is thrown at any company that has an "idea" even if they are not able to put it on paper... but I'm not convinced and never have been that this is really the case.

I seem to recall I had a similar discussion with someone else along these lines, and the bottom line was they they had not raised money, and so it was just an impression they had of what goes down in the Valley.
Why Apple Has to Become More Open
I don't believe communities in SV would sign onto this.

One important reason is the lack of core infrastructure like a centrally planned transit system. The thing to remember about the bay area is that it's not one city like NYC. It's a number of smaller cities and counties each with their own local governments, rules and constituencies. See San Mateo and other counties opting out of BART. Another example are various communities with maximum density regulations.

This is the kind of thing where you need a strong central hand to force these issues if you want your community to scale, but it's not clear that any local community would cede that power.
This is the distinction between scalable and non-scalable. I first read of it in one of Nassim Taleb's books (where he advises people to pick a non-scalable career, since the outcomes are more certain and the risks lower) but I'm sure it's been written about many other times. Ben Casnocha talks about it a bit [0].

Startups aim to be scalable. But you should note that you don't have to start out scalable. Doing so might be seen as a premature optimization. You could hand-service your first dozen customers, and worry about scaling only when you start counting your customers in hundreds rather than tens.

I think this post should go into more detail about why this works. As written, this simply looks like you're just calling the exact same method with a different name. The thing that makes it work is that by wrapping it in an extra method, you're effectively adding the prior method (i.e.: the one you want included in the stack trace) to the list maintained by `caller`. Thus, when you call `backtrace`, you'll be able to see the method from which it was called.
It is up to Google to prevent that. You can't do much about it (but laugh, as your competition is trying to frame you, when they could use that wasted time to focus on their own rankings). If it is really blatant, you could file a spam report [1], post on the webmaster forums [2] or disavow certain links [3].

Can competitors harm ranking?
Google works hard to prevent other webmasters from being
able to harm your ranking or have your site removed from
our index.

Still, some webmasters do feel it is possible to do "negative SEO". For example the above quote used to read:

There's almost nothing a competitor can do to harm your
ranking or have your site removed from our index.

I myself wouldn't worry about competitors trying this. There is not much you can do to stop others from behaving a certain way. I think it is much more likely that Google detects these attempts, than a competitor finding a way to damage rankings that don't belong to them.

The best thing is to NOT use a voltage regulator at all. The MSP430 line will happily run down to sub-1.8V levels, which means a pair of AA/AAA alkalines could power your project in time spans well exceeding the shelf life of your batteries (5-7 years, and this was an application coupled to a 802.15.4 radio).

For more performance oomph, there are Cortex-M3 parts which exceed or meet the efficiency of the MSP430 line, such as the Energy Micro EFM32.
