Not only is the opposite of what almost all economists think, but it's a moot point. San Francisco has among the strongest rent controls and tenants' rights in the USA, and remains bafflingly expensive. If you want to pick the perfect counterexample against old-style 'progressive' housing policy in the USA, you just did.

I think there's a not-so-subtle distain for "outsiders" moving to these areas and out-pricing locals. It also often happens in gentrifying areas of lower socioeconomic level, but those stories don't make it to the NYT...

That's not that bad is it. Yes, it's wrong to say someone cant criticize something they couldn't do better, but it wasn't that offensive was it? I'd say a bit of down voting would have had the desired correctional effect.

Apparently, Amazon.com switched to AWS in 2011 http://www.quora.com/Amazon/Does-Amazon-com-use-Amazon-AWS.
>A while ago, someone claiming to have worked at Amazon said that downtime doesn't really affect things as much as you'd think. He said most people simply just come back later.

Brick and mortar stores found that out ages ago. They were closed for large parts of the day/night and the customers just came back the next day.

If people didn't leave Tumblr and Twitter, with their constant massive outages (at some point in their life), when why would the leave Amazon, a huge established player, for a few hours outage?

Ask HN: Is it ok to pay outside contractors in bitcoin?
Sorry if this is a silly question but I just want to make sure there isn't going to be some kind of accounting issue down the road by doing this.

Seems like a win win for us since it works out cheaper overall by quite a bit. And it looks like there are a lot of people out there now willing to work for bitcoin.
It's also (I think) the first flight to orbit for an NK-33 engine since they were built 40 years ago!

The amazon documentation doesn't let you pin down exactly what that guaranteed minimum is, as half the measures are things like 'IO Performance: Moderate' or 'Compute Units: 4' or aren't specified at all (like EBS performance)

Makes sense from Amazon's perspective, of course - less promises to keep, more flexibility.

Can't blame people for measuring the performance empirically, in the absence of hard guarantees. Just that produces results that happen to be wrong.
A well raised person can probably offset his net direct impact. The point made by Stallman is that this person has no possibility to asses (much less offset) his descendants impact (children, children's children, ...)

To make sure you are offsetting your complete global impact, you have to get rid of the unknowns. Hence, no having children is the only option.

Farewell Kera
"I wrote my code. Profiled it. Found the few, small bits that needed to be fast and treated the Ruby code as an executable spec for the C, and rewrote it very quickly."

The fact that the speed-critical parts of your problem could be reduced to a "few, small bits" indicates that we're talking about entirely different things.

I was in a problem domain where writing the time-critical pieces in a different language meant ensuring that huge amounts of working-set data were available to that optimized code. Efficient access to that data meant storage in native format, which meant that supporting two languages would require a nasty I/O layer for the interpreted language. Not worth it.

And that's just for the problems where it was possible to consider using Perl/Python at all. For some problems, the memory overhead of Perl/Python data structures ruled out use on all but the smallest problems. Again, not worth it.

It's nice that the speed-critical parts of your problem were reducible to a few lines of code, but that's not often the case. For most real problems, I/O is a huge concern, and can't be dismissed just by pre-processing the input.
I think that says more about Steve Wozniak than Steve Jobs. From what I've read about him he's an amazing person that is easy going and very forgiving. I think while his greatness may have been less visible he would have been great regardless of which path he took.

Science doesn't work by "I could have told you that". It works by proposing an hypothesis and then testing it (preferably over and over again). Scientists cannot skip the testing stage just because the hypothesis is 'obvious'. Because once every few hundred experiments your obvious hypothesis based on intuition, personal experience and anecdote turns out to be wrong.

Looking at both of those screenshots, am I the only one who finds font-rendering on Macs very blurry and extremely hard to read?

So blurry in fact, I find it's hard to tell that there are different fonts in those two screenshots. They just both look like text smudged over a while matte when switching back and forth between them.
What I Learned While Teaching
Well, that is the point. Human nature is such that population has always stabilized slightly above carrying capacity (being the amount of population that the ecosystem+technology can sustain).

We always slightly overshoot (carried by technology), and stabilize by those things you are mentioning (hunger, war, diseases, infant mortailty, ...). We just slightly overshoot not because of restrain, but because it is physically impossible to overshoot too much, since mortality increases very strongly (exponentially?) once we are above carrying capacity.

A civilized society would stabilize its numbers slightly below carrying capacity, so that suffering can be minimized and quality of living vastly improved. The more gap we allow between carrying capacity and actual population, the better our quality of life would be. But I guess we are not there yet.
I wouldn't go that far. Intel definitely has an advantage in process technology, but it's not as though they rely on it exclusively to stay ahead. For example, currently the AMD and Intel CPUs in the server market are both at the same level of process technology, 32nm, and Intel's CPUs are still overall superior.
Interesting, but this touches on the surface of a question that the study couldn't hope to answer. The journey towards becoming a human is a long and complex process, and any attempt to pinpoint a moment must be arbitrary at some point.

It's like trying to say when something turns from red to orange. There's a point where it's definitely one or the other, but there's never going to be a clear moment where you can draw a line on the spectrum between the two.

When it comes to the pro right/choice debate, we're just getting started. If viability is what matters, does the proper age to curb abortions change as technology gets better? Given the difference in our view of killing a mosquito vs. a human, it's intelligence that seems to matter to us. If an adult dog is smarter than a newborn, why the disparity in legal protection?

Science can and should inform our views, but we also need applied reason and logic to sort through matters of morality.

Strange the article doesn't mention the conclusion. Looks like the advice is not to do anything...
The rents of restaurant and residential properties seem like orthogonal issues. I have never read that San Francisco has a shortage of retail or restaurant space.

In other cities where I've lived, when a restaurant loses a lease in this manner, it's because the landlord has lined up a different tenant which they consider much higher value.
An other reason is that SF is on a Peninsula, so it can't really have a workable suburb.

If you go South you get all the expensive "traditional" Silicon Valley cities. If you go East or North you have to cross a bridge, and a guaranteed commute nightmare. If you go West, well... You get to Hawaii.

In my experience it has been really better than "old" systems (source: my family and many friends). Of course, that's just one data point, but these things are hard to quantize and measure. Still, the trend to "post-PC devices" is a clear sign that people want things to be simpler.

> power user hostile

Exactly. If by being hostile to us, they're being more accessible to others, I'd say it's a good thing. Now, are they being more accessible to ordinary people? That, as you said, is not and empirical fact and is a discussion worth having. My point is that "we are not important. We're just a tiny fraction of the population. We should ask whether what Apple is doing better for the other %99 or not. Not being 'power-user friendly' is immaterial to this discussion".

And I agree about the notification center or Settings app. But I see them more as failures in implementation than a failure of vision.

For example of a horrible implementation, Windows (I have experience with Vista and older) gives you a million different options for wireless/wired networking. But setting a global SOCKS proxy is ridiculously difficult: Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connection -> LAN settings -> Advanced. Or assigning an static IP to a wireless card: Control Panel -> Network and Sharing -> View status -> Properties -> Select IPV4 -> Properties.

Now, OS X's Network panel is just as feature-rich as Windows'. You can do almost everything you can do in Windows too, but the implementation is much better. Creating a VPN, assigning static IP, setting a global proxy, etc. are all easy to access: Click '+' and select VPN, then its type (PPTP, L2TP, Cisco) and you're good to go. Or select Wi-Fi and go to Advanced menu and instead of DHCP select an static IP. Or go to "Proxy" tab and assign a global proxy.

That was just an example that I think OS X's implementation is far better, but the vision (= intention) is the same: Give user the ability to change everything he wants about the wireless connection. Just because Microsoft failed to give a decent UI (at least in Vista) does not mean it's not possible. Just like because Notification center is horrible doesn't mean it can't be done better (look at Android).
Interestingly both Intel and AMD pulled the same trick at about the same time with regard to CISC vs. RISC. The Pentium Pro was also a RISC core that used micro-op translation to present an x86 exterior, and it was introduced about half a year prior to the K5, though it didn't hit the consumer market for a while.

Also, as you point out, Intel has been good at cross-pollinating between different development lines and teams. The Core architecture was a ground up redesign but it was heavily influenced by the work on the Pentium M design done by the Israeli division. And previously there was a lot of influence on the Pentium-III design from the work done with the low-budget Celeron line.

> And then if you want to run a public web server, for now you'll have to pay extra for a static IP, just like you have had to do for years now. That's not a big deal,

It is a big deal. The price is a signal of scarcity, and this means some webservers won't be deployed because of the scarcity. The only difference is that instead of plain running out of new addresses we will be gradually running out, while screwing those who can't afford public IP addresses.

The price is a signal of a scarce resource, when scarcity can be avoided by switching to larger addresses.

"It’s beautifully legible" I couldn`t disagree more. The body text set with opensans on Windows(especially in chrome) looks awful.
Oops. I should have elaborated there. The savings I was referring to were more from not having to pay a percentage to a freelance worker website, or not having to pay fees through paypal, as well as people seemingly willing to work for cheaper effective rates if being paid in bitcoin(note: I have no data to back this up).

But assuming everything is in order tax wise, in a future audit is the use of bitcoin going to throw a wrench in works or anything?
Care to show a screen grab?

There must be something off with your setup, because OpenSans is very legible, even on Windows.
How is contract going to be written? Are you going to set the rates is USD (or whatever your local currency is) and convert that to bitcoins at the going exchange rate once it's time to pay, or are you going to set the rates in bitcoins and let the contractor bear the currency risk.
All this doesn't matter to me while I cannot increase font size by zooming in the page. Why does it happen to more and more web sites? I zoom in because font is too small for me, but font size doesn't increase, only paragraph width increases!

Well I'm (hopefully) going to be the one paying freelancers, so what happens with their money isn't much of my concern.

No company money would ever be sitting in bitcoin for more than the few seconds it would take to transfer.
I am reminded of one of Taleb's aphorisms: "You are rich if and only if money you refuse tastes better than money you accept", and of Glenn Gould's interview with himself:

"G.G.: I simply feel that the artist should be granted, both for his sake and for that of his public – and let me get on record right now the fact that I'm not at all happy with words like "public" and "artist"; I'm not happy with the hierarchical implications of that kind of terminology – that he should be granted anonymity. He should be permitted to operate in secret, as it were, unconcerned with – or, better still, unaware of – the presumed demands of the marketplace – which demands, given sufficient indifference on the part of a sufficient number of artists, will simply disappear. And given their disappearance, the artist will then abandon his false sense of "public" responsibility, and his "public" will relinquish its role of servile dependency.

g.g.: And never the twain shall meet, I daresay!

G.G.: No, they'll make contact, but on an altogether more meaningful level than that which relates any stage to its apron."

I don't see any evidence in that piece of how it "didn't go so well". What I see is sentence after sentence that indicates that there are too few apartments available at reasonable prices. That might be exacerbated by low rents and distorted incentives, but how would it help if more flats were built because prices were high enough to make it attractive?

It might be a demonstration that rent control without appropriate planning controls doesn't work so well. But that's a very different claim.
Actually from what I see the only way to receive user input is via user selection of menu options. There don't appear to be any callbacks from swipes or taps on the touchpad.
There are plenty of things that aren't "productive", but strike me as still being more creative/interesting/useful than churning out the same answer as everyone else to a made-up problem. Making your own programming language or OS is not 'productive', but a great learning experience, creative, and lots of fun. And who knows, maybe someone will get some use out of it. I once made a fairly simple programming language, and it did end up seeing some niche adoption and use in industry, which was cool.
Yes, we would be setting the rates in USD.

At this point the plan would be to keep a small amount of USD in Mt.Gox and buy bitcoin at a set time and send immediately when payment is due.

This is all new to me, but it seems like a reasonable plan at this point. So if I'm missing something silly here let me know! Thanks

There is no technical reason for dropping IE6...perhaps. But, well, there's a business reason for dropping IE6: Time doesn't grow on trees, either, and it's plain impossible to support every <2% browser out there (Netscape Navigator 4.78, anyone?). Every browser that is supported also needs to be tested etc.

Dropping IE6+7 support has freed significant time on each project where I've experienced it (which could be better spent elsewhere, e.g. in IE8 support ;)).

In some places you don't have control over the From (or the footer for that matter). E.g. I get a forced from in the form »LastName FirstName« which I'd rather have the other way around (also because last-first without the comma isn't common here [in fact, I've never seen it before]), yet I cannot.
Yes, it's blurry, especially for the eye coming from Windows. You get used to it, though. My favorite font rendering is the current Ubuntu's default: it doesn't destroy letter shapes as much as Windows, but still not as blurry as OS X.
