Hrrm. Since it's light on details, how about zooming out for some random conjecture about industry trends.

Notion: The current environment definitely has a faster-evolving database layers landscape than the previous decade. It follows that for longer-term systems, database schema-naive architecture becomes far more attractive. How exactly should we achieve that?

For all the 2005-enterprise-2.0-ishness of it, message-orientation (ie. on-the-wire protocol first) seems a fair play. This seems to hark back slightly toward the traditional (waterfall) approach of a nominal pre-coding design-time, an extroverted design orientation that focuses on understanding inputs and outputs before coding. Contrast the modern fire-and-forget webdev norm; model some data in some can-abstract-databases-as-long-as-they-fit-a-prior-model language-specific framework, and iterate.

Some of this is just common sense but perhaps we are about to see a shift in architectural paradigm. Of course, the modelling/code generation people have been harping on about this for years!
A really easy way to get clients okay with the iterative failure model is to charge a fixed price. This takes the "hourly" nuance out of the deal and allows you to make the rapid failures with a much smaller "rolling eyes" client.

Of course, adapting this model puts more risk on you as the designer - however, if you get good at it, you can finish projects in a much smaller time frame and technically skyrocket your "hourly" rate.

This is how I would always approach clients - 1 price to get want you want, fuck ups are on me. And the reason I would word it like that is for one very PRIME reason:

Most clients don't understand the value of the iterative failure.
And the net profit on a diamond necklace is higher than either. I'm not sure what point you're making.

Apple didn't build the iPhone because it was profitable. They built it because they knew that a race was about to begin, in which second place was really going to suck. HBO is faced with the same reality, whether they believe it or not.
Under his rules you would be able to drive by yourself from 19, so you would be fine.
Ahh, you beat me to it.
Outreach Program for Women: Calling it how I see it
I think the "unbalanced" part of it is that you can let your family go a turn of "Cold" and "Hungry", feed them the next turn, then they'll be back to OK. That's what I did my second playthrough at least; I ended it with a savings of $80 =P
Stressball 2.0
A thousand times this. It seems like no one cares about the elderly driving but they are frothing at the mouth to punish young drivers and make increasingly harder - and non-nonsensical restrictions on them. But a 90 year old man that can't see and hear can drive as much as he wants without any restrictions even though he is arguably higher risk than a young person who can see, hear and react faster
I like the big f* you to Starbucks at the end.
Yes but what about people starting university where I live at 18? You kinda missed my main point
i feel sorry for this type of request from the angel investor..

how one can be sure that what someone need is a cofounder without really look at a case carefully.. how someone can be sure that the other guy wont cause more trouble than solutions.. the thing is.. nobody really knows..

its a stupid request.. for me is a sort of "im the guy.. i have the money... you want me to help you? so first dance on top of this table and pretend you are a monkey.. "

Im working at something by myself.. and its working.. im sure that for a lot of people is the same.. If you are really confident of what you are doing..
you would just ignore this sort of stupid comment and try other things..

Look like a desperate and unecessary atitude..
sometimes even taking the funding from this angel will give you some headaches.. so maybe another door closed.. but with you doing the right thing.. theres no price for this.. and maybe is for the better!
Yeah there are so many of those "we're at a weird time period where..." that we're in the midst of right now.

I think thankfully computer graphics has gotten good enough in our lifetime that CGI animation in movies & TV will soon become perfectly indistinguishable from real life. No more uncanny valley.

I think steroids will become a non-issue in sports in the near future, where the line between what's "natural" enhancement and what's "artificial" enhancement becomes impossible to enforce or legislate.

Plastic surgery has gotten better over the years but it's still pretty easy to identify who's gotten it and who hasn't. I shudder to imagine a world where anyone can become as beautiful as they want without others realizing that they've had work done. The societal implications are beyond what my brain can handle.
> It's just that they run into situations time and time again where class-based OO is a better option

Can you give an example of such situation? My experience with prototype-based inheritance is quite different - I find that it can do everything that class-based inheritance can do, and more.
I've noticed that I've tolerated abuse in my life thinking that it would only be temporary condition. Sadly, abusers don't seem to reflect on their transgressions and seem to escalate them.
Very cool physics simulation. I think it needs a little damping though; if I cut all the cloth off I end up with a creepy wiggling pile of cloth at the bottom. (To reproduce: slowly cut across the top of the cloth so it all falls into one pile.)

I remember pretty much the same article about young Japanese but published many years ago. Despite the thoughtful list I think the main thing is probably the same in both cases: the younger generation is poorer than their predecessors.

Younger Americans are also eating less meat. Do you want to spin some list to explain, or just admit we're getting poorer?
If you think life's going to become any more considerate of your sleep requirements, think again.

Use time-boxing as a scheduling mechanism. If you find you have more work to do than time to do it, start lopping off items from your to-do list, and/or identifying how you can accomplish a sufficient effort in the time available.

That is likely to be a far more useful life lesson than whatever subject it is you're studying at the moment.

You also have to learn how to schedule downtime. People cannot run 100% 24/7/365, and attempting to do this is at best very painful, and at worst, literally, suicidal.
You have 40+ years of working for the man, why start so early? Getting a CS degree is fun if you like CS and are good at it. Drinking beer and hanging out with friends at all hours for 4 years are much better than working as a code monkey straight out of high school. Your average comp over your lifetime might be the same, or maybe a little more if you avoid debt and get 4 years of extra coding experience, but I bet the college grad never regrets going to college.
For affordable with a tech scene, you need to look at cities in Texas. I knew someone with a Best Places book and cd who was looking for affordable places and IT jobs and Texas cities dominated the top ten. Other affordable places lack IT/tech. Other tech places are expensive. He did not want to go to Texas so he kept tweaking his criteria but Texas continued to dominate the listings. This was a few years ago but that is where I would start the search.

Edit: And you can look at info here: http://www.bestplaces.net/

I appreciate the reply and further details on these NZ plans. Given the rather high cost of $1.20/GB, I naively assumed that these plans did not actually also have a minimum account fee. I would still contend that $1.20/GB is ridiculously high for home broadband, barring special circumstances (remote areas, cell network, etc).

As for stifling innovation, consider what the internet would look like if we were all still on dial-up. Greater bandwidth continues to open up new innovations; customers struggling with low bandwidth or expensive per GB pricing schemes hinder that innovation.

This doesn't produce heat, it absorbs heat and converts some of it into energy. Details are important here.
I think you're misunderstanding how naïve Bayesian spam filters work. These techniques explicitly do not recognize patterns at all, they just look at vocabulary, and treat each word as a completely independent feature—so they don't even recognize "discount viagra" as a pattern, but merely two independent features "discount" and "viagra".
LOTS. That's why they typically try to program hits like GoT and True Blood back to back so they can get you for six months.

Was CISPA passed?
anybody know of a good article on the CISPA situation?
One of the problems that's recentralized mail is spam.

Because of spam senders, especially spam originating from residential and dial-up IPs (well, mostly residential now), many large email providers use blacklists (literally: DUL -- dial-up lists) to block SMTP access from IPs within a known residential range. Many also work to whitelist specific lists of known legitimate email providers.

May enterprise IT organizations require explicit whitelisting of domains from which email is sent. I kid you not. And many of these organizations apparently have never heard of SPF/DKIM.

A third level of resource are reputation-based services. Cisco's Ironport / Senderbase is among one of the better of these (it indicates both good and bad reputations, as opposed to simple blacklisting or whitelisting, as well as volume variations from a given IP and "neighborhood" reputations of nearby IP addresses.

The result is that it can be painful to try getting your mail delivered through to large email service providers. I've had the most significant issues with Yahoo and Aol, though others are at times problematic. This affects both individuals trying to configure small residential servers and businesses / enterprises.

Ideally tools such as SPF and DKIM help, but at best these indicate that a given IP address is included in a policy framework or that header integrity is assured -- there's still no basis for assuming that a given email message is or isn't spam. Getting SPF and DKIM properly configured can also involve hoop-jumping, especially for non-technical users.
Better analog, start sending

X-ACCEPT-NO-HEADERS: true

or something in your request, which allows the responding party to omit headers in the reply (or not).
No, it wasn't. Extra layers were added to it for people that didn't value being a peer, and didn't mind being a client.

You should be a peer.

Here's a technical talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSvh5ZPrR4w I couldn't find a paper, but fortunately this video is only 10 minutes.

He's got an in-memory column store, so (AFAIK) those are immediate advantages over PostGIS. He's also using pre-rendering of shapes into bitmaps (a form of caching/indexing) along with GPU hardware to accelerate intersection queries. It looks like this is a case where a problem (2D geo data) maps quite naturally to GPU hardware (2D textures) if only you can discover the mapping.

Exactly, these kinds of essays only increase my contempt of the empty suits who consider this advice "good management".
I would say "It’s harder to get a license." is a biggie. We are now treating anyone under 18 as a criminal with stupid restrictions. This continued pushing of the age of responsibility happens in a lot of our lives and I don't think it is improving anything.
"More younger people are living in transit-oriented areas."

I presume this fact, along with "The recession" are the two most important deciding factors when it comes to the reasoning behind OPs question.
That's a good point, but then there is the question of trust. 2 years ago, I would not have believed it. Now, I am not sure. Google has done many things I consider fishy and unethical so I am more likely to believe allegations against them.

But the reality is that people need to start diversifying or risk:

"A few minutes into my Google-less existence, I realized how dependent I had become. I couldn’t finish my work or my taxes, because my notes and expenses were stored in Google Drive, and I didn’t know what else I should work on because my Google calendar had disappeared. I couldn’t publicly gripe about what I was going through, because my Blogger no longer existed. My Picasa albums were gone. I’d lost my contacts and calling plan through Google Voice; otherwise I would have called friends to cry."
The real question is, how long do we have to wait until Google's driver-less cars become a mainstream reality? Will they become available for everyday use within our lifetime?

Today's ride-sharing startups (Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, etc.), while very disruptive in their own right, seem to be more of a bridge technology in the big picture, like Netflix physically mailing DVDs to your house before streaming got big, or maybe native apps vs. HTML5 (that's still TBD).

While Airbnb is disrupting the hotel/motel industry in a huge way, I question whether ridesharing will ever get as big. I use Airbnb when I'm traveling or on vacation, which is a few times a year. But rides are something people need ALL THE TIME every day, and I'd rather own a (driver-less) car than have to ask a random stranger for a ride every time I need one.
Exactly. This is one of those things that makes sense, and just because its impossible for everyone to do it, it does not mean you shouldn't.

It's like hiring the best developers possible - obviously not everyone can hire the best devs, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't try to do it anyway.
This was on HN a few days ago and it worked well for me so I asked my audiance on youtube and it didn't stack up very well. See the results in the comments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6bSVKao5I
Not driving is cool (which I'm not sure it was twenty years ago). Not owning a car is a point of pride for many people I met -- certainly in San Francisco and Madison but also in less likely places.
Can I buy a Geeksphone Keon and just use it on wifi or do I need a cell provider? I am thinking of getting one just to do some development.
Naïve Bayesian filtering might not work very well on this kind of text. It basically looks like a regular comment, until you start recognizing that it always follows the same pattern. Your basic Bayesian classifier will throw all of the words in a set before analyzing them, which loses all of the information about patterns and word order. The resulting words are considered "independent" which means that even though the template might generate the words "pretty worth bloggers content online" every time it uses the first template, the naïve Bayesian classifier will never figure that part out.

My suspicion is that existing Bayesian classifiers have pushed the spammers to develop more natural-seeming templates, like this one.
I think there is a much bigger issue here than the theoretical storage solutions. Everything you said is indeed entirely possible for most HN-readers and tech people but I sure can't talk my mother into switching to dynamic DNS and rsync.

The only reason there was a happy ending to this story was that this guy was connected enough to know how to contact someone at Google, what about the other 300million users who barely know what OS they are running? There needs to be some kind of restructuring to protect the public, whether its simple awareness or legislation.
But Netflix has to retain that audience. As we saw with the price hike, people by the millions will drop their subs and fast. TV is a hits based business -- HBO has to deal with that too, post Sopranos and SATC, it struggled for a few years to find the hits.

I'm also not sure if you understand that HBO has has subscribers in the tens of millions for decades. That's my point, they've cultivated this premium brand but have been a part of many customers lives for years. I'm 30 and I've never NOT had HBO.

My parents have had HBO literally since 1972. 41 years. I realize that's an extreme example but the network has a strong brand.

HBO and Netflix aren't in a zero sum game; both can succeed. It's just that as Netflix moves into HBO's pool, it's going to have to face the issues HBO already faxed, whereas HBO won't have as hard of a time shifting to over the top once the business model makes sense.
7-11 years for a startup to go public, but how long to reach profitability to the point where an increase in salary won't affect that profitability? If it takes 7-11 years for that, you're probably not in the right business.

It's not about the amount you raise, it's about what stage your company is in. That's my real point there.
The Lies We Tell in the Exam Room
Any serious amount of data storage requires a hard drive (as opposed to flash), and hard drives are quite fragile. If you drop one on a hard floor it's probably done. And with time they fail for all kinds of other reasons. They are mechanical devices.
I disagree too, and it seems by the many comments that say how satisfying this is, that others find this fun. Obviously it would need a little more to make it a game, but just like Osmos which is simple physics and a simple concept (absorb smaller things) it can b very satisfying and successful. I think you're over thinking the game buying public. Many games have been little more than a concept like this.
From the article: "It’s harder to get a license. From 1996 to 2006, every state enacted graduated driving laws that make it more cumbersome for young people to get licenses. 'Young people must now take more behind-the-wheel training (which is more expensive), fulfill additional requirements for permits, and once they are allowed to drive, they are often restricted to driving in the daytime without passengers.'"

That's at least part of it, although the article notes that the percentage change in young people without driver licenses is only from 21 percent in 2001 to 26 percent recently. My oldest son is plenty old enough to drive, and making enough money to get driver training and make payments on a car (he has no student debt), but he lives in New York City, so he has little occasion to drive. He's probably more used to using public transportation in general than many Americans because we all used public transportation to get everywhere when we lived overseas.

Our second son is also old enough to drive, and we will spring for his driving lessons if he desires to take them. But he can get to and from high school and many of his activities on foot (we live only a couple miles from the high school) or by bicycle, and of course we offer him rides when he needs rides. So he hasn't had much occasion to drive either.

On my part, as an aging Baby Boomer, I'm looking forward eagerly to the era of self-driving cars, when I can ride but not drive, and eventually cease buying vehicles, rather simply subscribing to a self-driving on-demand car service.

How do you safely store your data if you don't have access to dropbox ? As in, dropbox, that company that didn't exist until q3 2008 ?

There is a "must be this tall to ride" limit on the Internet, and that is your own IP and the ability to act as a peer on the network.

If you don't meet those requirements, you are just a consumer. You're eyeballs that someone else is renting out. You're a digital serf.
You don't need to time sleep and you don't need to weigh calories. You just need to make sure nothing is fucking up your true sleepiness and that nothing is messing up your appetite.

You have sophisticated systems in you to govern consumption of sleep and food. Just don't screw things up with drugs, digital stimulation, social isolation, or junk food. It's all the same issue.
Instead, when you've gotten to X ability level, go ahead and make something at X ability level, don't let learning about a new, better way of doing that something stop you from doing it.

There is a time that this is good advice, and a time that it is bad advice. It is good when it helps you get over analysis paralysis. It is bad when it helps people justify their turning the opportunity to gain 15 years of experience into having gained one year of experience, 15 times.

There was a saying that I'm going to butcher here from PHP: "While many people obsess over the little details that don't matter and quibble over language wars, the person that knows PHP just gets things done."

Being snarky, PHP stands as an example of where you should take a step back, and learn better ways to do it.
Some really nice ideas in there - I especially like the tweet-to-composite-number-via-word-to-prime-mapping-thing.
What do you think is the moat that will keep Intel from doing to Arm what they did to the RISC chips? Intel has better process and very capable designers. They are quickly moving down-market. Why assume that Arm moves into Intel's territory before Intel moves into Arm's?
Metrics That Really Matter for Your Startup
In my experience (and I scored 28-29 AQ, depending on the day), there's a different kind of empathy that is very common on the spectrum.

It is often very easy to do a deep kind of empathy, where you focus a lot of energy into running a full simulation of another person in your head. This is often much easier when the person you're simulating is similar to you (e.g., on the spectrum). It takes energy, and it's really hard to parallelize, that is, I can't easily deeply empathize with a dozen people at once.

What a lot of normal people seem to be good at is a doing a first-order approximation of other people's intentions and motivations, a shallow type of empathy if you will. And perhaps it's just that if they're interacting with "normal" people, they can make a lot of assumptions that don't hold true for Aspies.

That being said, there are a lot of good strategies I've learned on how to make chit-chat with normal people and "flow" conversation -- I explicitly had to learn it as I was not born with that package pre-installed.
