Actually, AT&T is Southwestern Bell, not so much a "successor" company. SBC acquired AT&T and changed the name.

Any one with work experience and common sense can tell that talking to boss^2 and HR is a recipe for disaster. You are also unwilling to challenge michael's claim that he was meeting expectations and in the midst of a transfer. You also think restricting transfers for 1.5 years is not a problem. Is there any problem within Google that you are willing to admit?

You sound like an HR drone tasked with attacking michael's record with false data. You haven't responded to his claim that his record met expectations. Unless you use a real identity, your claims will have no credibility.

I know that. It's just depending on domain name "ownership" (and even though it's called so, it's temporary lease, not purchase of property), in exactly the same way general audience depends on email account "ownership".

Except for the fact, if one's email account or the whole provider goes down, they should still be able to login with old-fashioned password credentials. With Persona, unless the site has a backup authentication method, they're out of luck.

This effectively means I've to stick with my domain name forever.

A bit off topic, but the big win with Vim (and, from what I hear, emacs) isn't the speed per se; it's the lack of cognitive load. "I need to replace everything after the equals sign", for example, takes less concentration than "I need to move my cursor to the beginning of the word after the equals sign, hold shift, move it to the end of the line, and then hit backspace". Once I got past the terrible learning curve, being able to use those kind of abstractions made a noticeable difference in how much program state I can hold in my head while I'm changing it.
I never really used iMessage. It never made any sense when I had been using AIM since 2002; why not continue?

I like the ability to contact phone numbers rather than user IDs, but apart from that, one AIM account on all devices seems to be a better proposition, at least in my experience.

And for the record, yes, I still use AIM.
I know it's tough to try to find work, and I hope you can get some good gigs.

A few tips - As Amarco suggests, Forrst might be a good place to post.

Did you post on the https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5472748 thread? That's where people might look.

Finally, I know you're trying to branch out, but try to avoid spamming the forum, or the moderators might ban you. You've posted twice in the last week advertising your services - And while I admire the drive - It's kinda annoying.

Good Luck!
I can legally run Windows on my Mac or Linux boxes but I can't run OS X anywhere besides an official Mac. To which I say, get bent Apple, I have work to do.

BTW, I'm sure all Apple Boot Camp and Parallels users pay the $250 Microsoft license, NOT.
If there is a 1 year backlog it is a temporary market state. The prices will rise, which will attract competition, which means more tuners, which means elimination of backlog. Free market etc.
Others have pointed out the revenue centered yellow light shortening. Some dangers born from this are panic stops and slow, generally erratic traffic leading up to intersections with known red-light cameras.

The camera effectively changes the perception of the yellow light from "prepare to stop, if it is safe" to "stop right now or risk a $75+ fine" (Where I live the fine will surely have doubled at least once by the time you actually get the ticket in the mail, but that's another issue).

I've often wondered if the folks implementing the cameras have thought about how the combination camera-driven paranoia, shortened yellows and altered perception of yellows will impact the traffic flow. If upstream light-timings aren't adjusted to account for the camera bottleneck, problems are inevitable.
Posts like this aren't helpful. If you have data from this data mining, I would suggest that you present it. Otherwise you are just fishing for information that may or may not be true in the first place.

If you want an answer to you question, I would suggest that you phrase it in a better way.

Make it one, Google will almost certainly close shop soon after AT & T does theirs. AT&T then will double prices.

Notice the zingers to Google and to Austin officials: "AT&T’s expanded fiber plans in Austin anticipate it will be granted the same terms and conditions as Google on issues such as geographic scope of offerings, rights of way, permitting, state licenses and any investment incentives...AT&T consistently invests in U.S. communities -- $98 billion in capital in the past five years, more than any other public company"

AT& T is most likely gonna sue Austin unless they provide them with the same incentives as Google is getting.
> Provisioning is conceptually cheap, and this is their killer feature. You click the "Make a new VPS" button, you pick your distro, how much RAM you want, and an SSH key, and they spit out an IP address less than a minute later. `ssh root@198.xxx.xxx.xxx`

> There's also an API for automatic provisioning if that's your thing.

Oh, it is, and I wish these comparisons would consider the API more, since deploying a node via Linode's API and DigitalOcean's API are probably comparable. Declaring "my UI is faster!" as a sales point is disingenuous, since Linode is merely offering more choices during the provisioning workflow. Since you're saying "click", I assume you mean the UI too; at scale, absolutely nobody uses the UI any more. I manage a fleet in the thousands on AWS, and the last time I logged in to the AWS Web Console was about six months ago. It takes at least two minutes of clicking to spawn an instance in Amazon, but earlier today I launched 38 instances in about thirty seconds using the API.

> - No kernel upgrades. The kernel is kept outside of your virtual machine, which means that if you upgrade your kernel, then you'll get mismatched modules and your network interface won't come back. They've pinned kernel updates in ubuntu so this shouldn't be a problem, but you have to say "IgnorePkg = linux" in your /etc/pacman.conf if you're on arch. Security updates will be a pain though...

This isn't unique to DigitalOcean and is fundamental to the way Xen works (the kernel is loaded by the host, not the domU). However, Linode solved this problem better by providing kernels with most modules that you'd ever need built-in. You can upgrade all you want on your filesystem and not run the risk of hosing your machine, because your modules generally aren't considered at all. You can still add them by compiling against the upstream Linux sources, but the core modules aren't loaded from your filesystem (on my Linodes, my modules/ directory for the running kernel is empty). There's also a loader for your own kernel on the filesystem, PV-Grub, which DigitalOcean doesn't do.

> - You can't boot into a recovery image/liveCD. If the above happens to you, I assume you'll have to either restore from backup or file a ticket and ask them to pick things out of your VM's hard drive. (You do get raw console access provided by an HTML5 VNC client, which can be useful)

Only if you screwed networking. Lack of recovery = showstopper.
Unlocking the Brain’s Drive to Mastery
Would love to read that when you do. I think I understand what the title tags require, but I haven't heard about the h1. Is that just changing it to make sure that the h1 is the title of the page instead of the site?

Also how does the HTML5 heading system (where you can have multiple h1s on a page) affect SEO, do you know?
A lot of people are on AWS. If you are migrating from AWS, it doesn't matter any more what AWS' barrier to entry is, and it does matter what Linode's barrier to entry is.
"Do we want to live in a world where jaywalkers are caught every single time?"

There is a Jewish legend that before this world was created, God created a world that was ruled by the attribute of Justice - every infraction was punished exactly to the right degree, not to strongly, but not weakly either.

That world did not survive and God had to destroy it and start over, this time with a world based on mercy.

(There are some who say that the fossils found in the ground are from that previous world.)

There's no excuse for ANY company to totally fail to respond to applicants in the present day. There are so many automated HR and recruitment platforms out there now, it's poor on the part of non-responding companies and illustrates what kind of people are running the ship. This, 'we're a startup and too busy to eat' crap is nothing short of a lame excuse.
They presumably could. I'd say a car construction robot is ungendered but, as a fictional example, Bender from Futurama is male gendered. Ungendered would be "other" I would say.

For 512MB/1GB Droplets in their EU location (Amsterdam) they have run out of IPs. I was planning on switching to DigitalOcean but that is holding me back at the moment.

Do you have more info on what is wrong with the markup? From the comment all I can make out is those are normal bootstrap constructs (span6 being a grid span). I'd like to fix the issues you are having (though this new version has even cleaner exported markup).
why of course education plays "a primary role here"; cf "Education Is The Key To Cleaning Up This Apartment" http://www.theonion.com/articles/education-is-the-key-to-cle... . Whatever problem we are faced, focus on education and surely it will get resolved... eventually. Gotta have faith, man.

The "education" meme is so darn popular because, as ridiculed in the Onion article I linked to, it's a way to give up on the problem while feeling good by pretending that something is being done. No amount of education will change the overall trend towards pervasive government surveillance in Europe and America. What might change it would be Bill of Rights-style short, cogent "shall not be infringed" constitutional restrictions on government IT activities deployed together with a (yeah, I am dreaming) a judicial system willing and able to enforce them. But that ain't gonna happen because those who advocate things that sound even remotely like that are better known as "anti-government extremists"; fortunately the extremists are few while all the sensible people are sufficiently happy pontificating about vital issues like "reproductive rights", "education for the new millenium" etc.
Law enforcement as a revenue generation method, especially when sold as a third party service, seems inherently subject to mismatched incentives.
Yes, except there's still usually just one cable company in an area. The real effect of this is that a municipality unhappy with service now has no opportunity to oust a provider when the term of their franchise agreement is up.
Are there some 0s missing? $500K doesn't sound like any amount of money to open a "mature" trading platform.
Using the IP address to restrict it would work, since now the attacker would need to have the same IP address to get a session that will stick, but this may cause users to be logged out when their ISP changes their IP, or when they move from home to a coffee shop for instance.

Ask HN: How can you be rich without selling your company?
From what I've read, the standard way for a startup to cash out is to sell it to a bigger company.

Here's the problem, I've watched many my favorite startups slowly die after they were sold. Except for a few rare ones, the service they provided was never the same again - if it still exists.

You want to cash out because you would like to do other things but you still care a lot about the quality of your previous product.

What other options are there?
IRS considers taxing perks at Google, other tech firms
Apparently the hot patch of adding in surveillance features didn't go as smoothly as hoped :-) I jest of course given the press recently about how good iMessage is at preventing eavesdropping. Keeping services like this alive is pain. Just the other night I got to experience being "down" when as far as my routers were concerned I was "up", some maintenance snafu upstream had my traffic stuck in a routing loop. But no BGP failover because as far as my router was concerned it could talk to its peer. Sigh.
Your position is 160 out of 389 queued migrations in this Linode's datacenter.

I got mine to migrate ahead of the queue by accident. I just resized my disk, and it started migrating after the resize.
Hey, yes we did. No problem with that bug!

Sorry, I wasn't sure what to call your agents. It's a neat app! I like it.
A more appropriate title to the post might be "Become an expert programmer in 10 years."

We seem to focus on the poles: no coding skills vs. expert coding skills. You can teach yourself to code in less than 10 years, you just might not be an expert.

The "learn to code" debate might be more productive if we allowed for definitions of competency at the stages leading up to expert. The post does a good job of defining the characteristics of expert competency. What does it mean to be an intermediate? How many hours should you expect to invest to get there?

In most domains, the learning curve ramps up sharply for the first few years and then plains off for a longer period. For example, you might move up 80% of the learning curve in 3 years with an intense effort, but the remaining 20% of the journey might take 7 additional years ... or a life time.

Ask HN: Help me get my life back.
Hello HNers,

I'm posting with a new username, don't want to disclose my identity.

ADDICTION
=========
I'm seriously addicted to an Internet and entrepreneurship activities. It's not worth than a drugs... Most of you will get what I mean, that feeling when you can't think about outside world.

PERSONAL LIFE
=============
I have a girlfriend (soon to become wife). My personal life is being damaged because my above mentioned illness. I can't compromise enough time to her, even if I do I still think about my projects.

I tried an "Information Diet", to eliminate all the worthless activities like FB, surfing without a purpose, etc... Even went outdoors but day after day I feel that I'm changing to the bad. This hurts both my personal life and my productivity.

PROBLEM
=======
I also know how to achieve what I want, but as I go deeper I encourage another problem: If I focus on my projects, I hurt my personal life and this demotivates me. If I focus on personal life, I still think on my project.

PURPOSE
=======
In general I know what I want from the life, among the most important things are my personal life (wife, family, friends...) and the work (startups, projects, coding...).

ROUTINE
=======
Here's what my daily routine looks like, in general I'm very self disciplined:
- Get up early (6:30) and do some project related stuff;
- Take a bath, eat a breakfast and go to work (which includes loads of coding);
- Finish work at 6:00 and go meet a GF,
- Hang out several hours together, then go to sleep at 10:30;
- Trying to do as much project related staff as I can on weekends, besides I simply rest or go outdoors;

Being like a robot makes me depressed, I'm kind of getting tired with the casual routine.

CONCLUSION
==========
I know most of you will say that I have to find the balance (I know it myself), but I would appreciate if one of you advises some realistic things.

Thanks in advance HNers.
This is no longer true.

I have .IO domain for more than 2 years. 2 years ago, I remember the country for domain on Google Webmaster Tools has been "locked" to Indian Ocean Territory. But at least for last 6 months, I'm now able to change it to any country or leave it unspecified which indicates that .IO is now treated as generic TLD by google.

The article you have quoted is simply out of date.
Dallas isn't really in the Austin area. It's a 3 hour drive.
On iPhones, you don't explicitly use iMessage, it just switches to iMessage automatically when sending an SMS message to a recipient also uses iMessage. That is the primary reason to use it, though it is handy to be able to send messages on the network via other Apple devices as well.
> offline web apps are very much a thing.

SO your argument in favor of online apps is that there are offline apps. Knock yourself out. BTW "offline Web app" is a contradiction in terms.

> It is fine to not know these things, but its not a very good idea to be publically dismissing technologies you obviously arent very familiar with ...

That's your problem, not mine -- I posted all the evidence, you posted contentless arguments.

> when people point out that you are wrong

Never happened. I proved my points with online references. You argued.

> you should probably do some research before defending it.

Look at the thread. I posed all the online evidence for my position. It is a fact that there are serious legal issues with cloud storage and reliance on Web apps. It is a fact that IT is much less enthusiastic about these technologies than business people are, the latter being less familiar with the shortcomings and vulnerabilities. I linked to the evidence for these points. You argued.

Pet Safety or Techno Party Animal?
Interesting that you pin it down to laziness. In my opinion it has more to do with the fact that the learning curve of Vim/Emacs outweighs their usefulness.

I can understand their use being much more of a necessity in previous years, but I think their time of unparalleled performance and productivity are over. Having used Vim for a few years (having studied it for many hours) and then switching to Sublime Text - I don't see any productivity decrease.

That being said, if you are happy using Emacs - by all means continue to do so!
Great app guys, congrats on getting it out. In my previous role I worked on myskystatus.com, which was a similar idea, originally built as part of an airline marketing campaign. We could see the potential and were desperate to get them to invest in its future, but they didn't bite, and it was eventually mothballed.

Your website sucks 30-35% of one of my CPU cores. Likely that's the parallax cloud effect since it's only happening when the tab is visible. You may optimize that.
Okay - well if you would grant me the generosity of assuming a little common sense in my perspective - any reasonable engineer would perform all possible testing in the building phase of a project. The point remains - in the real world there be a zillion variables that your tests almost certainly won't account for.

I agree that there is room for a priori pontification - at the hypothesis formation stage of theory building, but that's about it. Except folks like denniger aren't forming hypotheses that can be tested at all. He's just waxing lyrical - tensing his ideological bow.

Why do you feel you're a brogrammer?
You should have cashed out only half (to bet both that the bubble will crash, and that the price will continue to rise). That would have been obviously the best compromise and less stressful. Now you risk regretting it. Effectively you did the equivalent of picking B out of the following choices, and you are about to flip the coin...:

A. Flip a coin. Head you win $50k, tail you win $50k.

B. Flip a coin. Head you win $5k, tail you win $95k.
The Reality of What Makes Silicon Valley Tick
And people wonder why some people think the government is basically a bunch of brainless fuckups who couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel.

This is, simply put, one of the most absurdly brain-dead stupid things I've ever heard in my life. And I've heard some really stupid ideas in my life.

Whether this goes through or not, it's a perfect example of why we need to end the income tax and eliminate the IRS.
