I haven't yet looked to see how this service works so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that you could solve this problem by either leaving the desktop turned on (so that it syncs immediately whenever the laptop changes), or coordinating with the IT department and having them do the same using a file server the desktop will have access to (which IT departments will like because it makes it easier to centralize backups).
Thanks very much for this! It's great to have someone else's insight into several of these.
Why the Lean Start-Up Changes Everything by Steve Blank
Trading that looks like foreknowledge of the release of fake news would stand out, but purchased based on knowledge that the news was fake would blend in with trades by plenty of other people who simply figured it out quickly.
> As most of the constitution seems pretty outdated nowadays

I would suggest that that sentiment is far from universal.

It may seem outdated to you, but not to everyone else.

> why does no one ever bring up the idea of writing a new one?

The same reason people are generally better off making incremental changes to basically-functional mission-critical computing systems than tossing them out and starting from scratch.
If you show an employee you value them, and not just the replaceable work that they do, they will probably be more loyal.

If you show a customer you value them, and not just their wallet, they will probably be more loyal too.

People want to feel valued, and once they have that, it's smooth sailing. On the contrary, if you make them feel under-appreciated, you will soon be in trouble.
If it was the dad who was "famous", would you have made the same comment? Many families are like that, for decades (centuries?) the fathers would be bringing home the bread, the mothers staying at home, and nobody ever really called those fathers out, as bad role-models or even just bad fathers. Sure there are some that truly detach themselves from the family, but they are a small minority.

In this case the mum's a rather busy person, as she's never seen around school. But to say she's leaving her child's life behind? That's a bit harsh IMO.
I'm sure some HF apps made a killing :)
A random suggestion, then: perhaps try selling it for a few months, and if the number of sales starts to tail off and you still feel uncompensated, set a fundraising goal at which you'd release it open source?

As others said, I'm more interested in donating (and helping to persuade others to) to make it available for everyone than I am in buying a copy.

When my wife was pregnant, I called my friend Greg - not for advice, though his earlier lesson when I had to cancel something was "Repeat after me. I don't know. I will have to ask my wife."

Anyway, Greg wasn't home, but I talked to Julie, this was some years ago. She explained thus:

For the next year, you are number three. Baby is first. Mom is second. And then you. Unless you have a dog. Then you are number four.

Right now, your beloved is not only lacking sleep. Her body also has a unique hormone balance that does things like foster lactation. This is something you experience, not run according to plan.

However, your experience at two months is not unusual. We had one similar. I mentioned it to my neighbor Bill across the alley. Get a swing.

Not the bouncy seat. A swing. The one with the rigid arms that does nothing but go back and forth - they come with motors. Bill gave me one that was wound by hand. It was good enough.

Put your child in the swing and let 'er rip. Don't feel guilty. Get some peace. Know that it only gets more wonderful over time.

Good Luck.

Though interesting, it brings back up the age old question if this is the right thing to do? Should an RPC actually look indistinguishable from a local call?

I have heard arguments from both sides starting from the days of CORBA and DCOM. But never had a convincing answer either way. It usually boils down to 'depends on use case'.
In order to benefit they would have had to sell in very short time.
Your comment seems to imply that the main problem with temperature is radiative recombination. Is that the case? I thought heat caused other non-ideal problems.
Also, Dropbox is user friendly. I can recommend it to my family members, and they have a referral program to encourage me to do it. What does BitTorrent Sync do that rsync cannot?

On the other side of the argument, I bet BitTorrent Sync will become as friendly as Dropbox, and perhaps third-party backup services will offer what Dropbox does. At that point, rsync's only advantage would be an open-source license.

First, you have my respect for raising 4 kids. I mean it in a good way :). Some good advice there. Looking at the book for sure. I think like many others are saying, the sleep cycle will get better but it is never too early to start trying out techniques. For example, we are using crib, swing, secure sleeper etc. to try and put her to sleep in addition to me walking her around on my shoulders or sitting with her in our laps.

I've been on the Flight Software team at SpaceX for a little over three years. It feels a lot like a startup. The team is still relatively small and people are pretty passionate about what they are working on. The project variety is wide as well. Personally, I've gotten to work on low-level drivers and OS stuff, application code that runs on the vehicles and ground systems, Dragon's fault-tolerant platform, internal web-based tools, and operations in Mission Control during the Dragon missions. Can't really give details about any of this stuff but I do love working here.

There was an AMA with several of the software teams a little while back:

There are several openings right now for software engineers, including people with web experience (people usually don't think we're looking for those skills):

Firstly is your wife pumping milk,why not let the baby breast-feed directly?Its painful for awhile but will make your life a lot easier in the long run as its vastly simpler than bottles.

Secondly why are both getting up?Its only one baby! It does not need two adults to get up at the same time at night.
Wife can feed the baby directly every 3 hours,you sleep through most of the night.Your wife can also sleep during the day as she as still at home and get help.

Babies sleep a lot and you cant set a schedule for a 2 month old so work around her needs.When you get home your wife gets out for a walk for a bit and then you can watch a movie together and relax when she is napping,do some non-baby related things each day and realise as new parents you are definitely worrying too much (we were the same on our first one).

Is she colicy? This could cause postpartum depression in your wife(and maybe even you) quite easily.
I understand the reasoning here, and the pump is a wonderful piece of technology to make use of, but there's still something very mechanical about pumping. If it's an option, your wife may find it more relaxing to try breastfeeding on occasion.
Sharing photos was solved for the 99% by Facebook & Apple & Google. If you're a photographer with gobs of high resolution photos Dropbox is perfect for you, but I imagine that is a niche pain point.

What is a much bigger opportunity is a way that easily lets groups share music and movies. This cannot be solved by a centralized service like Dropbox for legal reasons. This is what would concern me if I was Dropbox; BTSync's killer feature is off limits to Dropbox without a complete change in architecture (and some soul searching about if they want to risk ending up like Kim Dotcom).
Yep. When the app launches the very first time I ask for their 1st name and email if they want to hear about deals/offers, new apps, etc.

They can cancel out easily and never see the form again. But when you have a free app that quite a few people download, email addresses start accumulating pretty quickly.

> Why did you use yaml for configs? Yaml is/can be kind of fragile (whitespace, etc). Do you consider something more practical - nginx config formats?

Yaml is the most common reasonably suitable format for things that look like config files. It's familiar to more developers than nginx config, therefore we hope more people can contribute.

> How to set-up log collector? For example I need to collect logs from several instances. Could not find in cookbook.

Did you look at the tutorial? https://github.com/onemorecloud/dendrite/blob/master/tutoria...

> How do you separate logs for different hosts/applications?

Right now, the output map has a couple automatically inserted keys for hostname, shipping timestamp, and the name of the application. This isn't terribly well-documented.

> How do you ship logs? UDP? TCP? TLS?

Yes ;)

> How is this compared vs Logstash?

Dendrite isn't trying to be Logstash. I'd like dendrite to be the agent you use with logstash, greylog, papertrail, or whatever. I think the agnostic nature of dendrite will be a big win, as dev/ops people can persist their data to multiple stores, or swap out stores more easily. The application we wrote Dendrite for currently persists logs to three different stores.
yeap, still no solution from Twitter Support. That's frustrating.

Nice idea, but it doesn't really work. I'll buy 6 sandwiches to get the 7th one free, but for some reason if you told all the customers if they bought 10,000 sandwiches they'd get one free, it doesn't pan out.

I'm not sure if it's the sharing of the reward or distrust in others to not contribute, or what. Maybe it's just the achievement is removed.

Groups are very powerful in other situations - look at the results you can get from an online fundraiser. People visit the page from all over to donate.

That still doesn't explain that if the people of New York are so against his policies why he can make them happen. I'll assume that New York is just like any other city and the mayor can't just do something because they want to. Don't they have city councilmen? Aren't they beholden to the masses? Can't they be elected out if the people don't like what is being passed? As for term limits, if he can get re-elected what does that matter? The people are still voting him in!

In any case it's still the fault of the people of New York.

> DRAM has 50+ ns of latency no matter how close you put it to the chip.

This is not some fundamental law; it's entirely dependent on bitline and wordline capacitance (array size). For external DRAM chips, huge arrays make sense, and you end up with tens of ns of latency. In an eDRAM cache scenario, you use much smaller arrays, and in the case of the POWER7 L3, latency is more like 6ns (for row hits, of course).
Could be; we don't use Matlab much in my own research area, so recent change could've happened under my radar. When I've occasionally had contact with engineers in industry, though, Matlab still seemed to be everywhere. The most recent two examples were someone doing DSP, and someone doing mechanical engineering, and both had all their stuff built on top of Matlab+Simulink.
Unfortunately, when I run the article through the tool it returns no hits.
Indeed, that appears to be the case. It would be a hilarious irony if Shopzilla turned around and actually sued them for libel.

if you bought call options beforehand on the volatility index VIX ( https://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXCBOE%3AVIX or rather VXX, which are futures on the volatility index) you could have profited a lot indeed. take a look at this chart: http://i.imgur.com/XQfWra4.png with good timing you could've made a return of 1300%, using only call options on VIX futures.
This sounds very interesting and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Not sure if pure human intervention could cause such a large drop in so short a time period.

In which case, hacking multiple relatively smaller information sources, rather than larger govt. or banking sites could provide very high upsides with much lower risks.

oh yea. already got a swing and it is useful (not always but mostly). Baby is responding well to the swing. we have alternatives as well. pretty much a swing, secure sleeper, a different kind of sleeper with vibrations (dont even know what it is called). Thx for the suggestions.
Anyone can claim responsibility. Doesn't mean they actually were the ones to do it.
We've developed some proprietary risk assessment software that takes a variety of risk factors like age, gender, zip code, employment status, # of arrests, etc. and calculates the likelihood of an applicant returning to prison. Based on that, we determine premium amounts, down payment, or whether or not we can write a policy for them at all.

The CA Dept. of Corrections has a similar system called the CA Static Risk Assessment (CSRA) which they use to determine housing for inmates and eligibility for early release. Our algorithm uses far more variables than theirs to determine insurability.

>>>Were you able to find insurers willing to back this business model?<<<
Our underwriter backed out at the last minute before launch several weeks ago. We're scrambling to replace them as of this writing. Surprisingly we've gotten interest from a number of different insurance companies to offer this.
I hope you backed it with your eyes open. It can't work. They might be able to make it glow i.e. you can see light if you look at it, but there is no way they could make it bright enough to illuminate anything even 1 foot away.

As long as you know you are making a decoration, not a lamp replacement then cool.

They really should be clearer to backers letting them know it can't work as a light replacement.

I live in Vancouver. If the Asian "tiger mom" parent is producing "great kids", I want absolutely nothing to do with it.

This style of parenting - on a purely anecdotal level - is producing near disasters of people. Especially from a North American culture's perspective. I see a lot of these bad habits in Caucasian parents as well. Over-scheduled, overworked and over-pampered kids that can't make a single choice on their own, can't accept failure and don't even know what they like!.

"Artificial Deadlines" are typically tied to some sales or marketing cycle. (ie We're announcing the launch of product ACME WidgetFoo at FooConf2013.)

If you're truly a member of a "team" (one that includes the positions of Marketing and Sales), hard deadlines are simply a fact that cannot be avoided (unless say, you're Apple Inc).

The key is for everyone to understand the difference between aspirational goals, and deliverable goals for the deadline.

If you're fighting this battle constantly, I'd take that as a sign that you're not a player on the team. Ball boy.
Some of the Hamburger Helper skillet meals can be pretty good, if spiced up some.
Great question.

No hard data. I saw that Spanish Bibles were ranking in the Reference and Book categories, like you said.

Also important (but not "hard data") is that when I searched "la biblia" relatively few apps appeared in the search results compared to other search phrases.
Man, 117 comments and counting, and yet not one mention of the woman who serves as the jumping off point to the article's story.

I'd like to note firstly that I really enjoyed the piece, but the judgement of another humans choices left a bad taste in my mouth. If Mark Zuckerberg had written a book around the challenges of men's life in his generation, would a similar article have been written?

I think that its somewhat sad that the response to one woman sharing her story regarding what makes her life fulfilling being dismissed as the wrong choice by another woman. I'm relatively sure that it would be a very different conversation we would be having, perhaps not better or worse, but different in a way that highlights some of the craziness in our culture regarding the roles of women (and men).

In many respects, I agree with RyanZAG (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5595220) but am approaching the same point from a very different angle.
Right now the main factor before everything else would be the volatility of BTC. If you have an hourly rate, how do you convert it to BTC considering the values goes up(and down) in solid percentage points and during the course of a single day. So if you're up for the risk, then try it out.

But personally i don't see any benefits over just asking for money in USD(or whatever currency) over paypal.
I've updated the photos in the link above to include more build photos.

The bike is made by a gent named Robin Mather who lives in the South West of England. His website is unfortunately a poor one, but he's got coverage elsewhere: http://apracticalguide.wordpress.com/ http://www.bespoked2012.co.uk/BespokedBristol/Robin_Mather.h... http://www.headsetpress.co.uk/features/robin-mather-building...

The stem is a fully bespoke (the whole bike is) ahead stem. It uses a barrel with a 6mm allen bolt through it. The barrel is split in two and the bolt squeezes the two halves to give a large contact area with the stem. It's worked well, no complaints.

One of the goals of that bike was to design it such that it looked aesthetically clean of bolts, fixings and braze-ons.

An example of that is the rear rack... remove the rack and mudguard and there is clearance for cyclocross tyres, and there are no braze-ons that give even a hint that the frame can take racks.

I was going for a single multi-purpose frame (touring, cyclocross, urban-fixed) by simply changing wheelsets and basic things... any change should be a 10 minute job. But yet, even with multiple uses I did not want to compromise the looks to achieve it.

The photos show the bike in the most complex configuration, the Rohloff hub, the dynamo front hub, the racks, the mudguards, the flat handlebars with Rohloff shifter. But basically you can strip it to a fixed gear bike with belt drive and just a front brake in 10 minutes, and then shove it in a suitcase (S&S couplers) and go travelling with it.

And even with all of that... the bike may be custom, but I kept everything compatible with standard parts so it's easy to get a long life from the bike as parts will be available. That stem... well, any stem can go on there.

Robin's a cool guy too. Which helps when you go this crazy on spec'ing a bike.
One of the critical differences is that while existing companies execute a business model, start-ups look for one. This distinction is at the heart of the lean start-up approach. It shapes the lean definition of a start-up: a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.

Isn't this equally applicable to individuals as well, with certain modifications?

You can act like a start-up organization, searching for repeatable and scalable business models. You can switch from one start-up idea to another, all the while trying to find a profitable business to create and run.

If my browser can handle pdfs, I probably want to view them using the browser[1].

If my browser can't handle pdfs, it will be forced to download them anyway.

If my browser can handle pdfs, but I want to save it/view it with another program, I can use right-click+save as.

By contrast, a pdf which I want to view in-browser, but which forces the browser to download it instead is just a nuisance. Even if there were a 'right-click+don't save it, just view it in browser', I don't know that I need to use it until I have tried clicking the link.

In general terms: You publish content on the web, I decide how I view it. Try to force my hand and you'll just annoy me into going elsewhere.

[1] If the browser supports pdfs by default, but I prefer to view them with somthing else, there are usually settings to tell the browser how to handle different file types.
