Lets be fair, I'm 28 y/o, and fairly rich, I love to work, and I live to work, and maybe it's the only thing I may do ever in my life.

I could sell all of my bussiness, I could lease the buildings, and retire. But doing nothing is the hardest work I've ever do. I took a sabatic year after I graduated from college, traveled around the world, fucked some really beautiful girls, and after livining a dream-life, my life became quite frustrating.

This guy wont last too long retired, because, after all, he will just grow tired of playing golf, and doing nothing.
Of course. Either way, it's close to the plain text convention, though one wouldn't bracket the link-name part.
No. It requires a kind of screwdriver that I don't have with me (and which wasn't in the set that I bought in my initial attempts to cut apart a pair of prescription glasses to work with it), and for all I know it will strip the threads on the way out ;P. If nothing else (Further, I would pretty much just be able to say "uhh... it looks like some kind of digital computer... possibly one involving silicon?" ;P.)
I am not a lawyer.

IIUC GPL is fine unless you want to make something that 'links to' the GPL licensed code, then the code you made has to be GPL as well.

The way I understand that is if, in your python app, you 'import gpl_licensed_lib' ... then you are boud by GPL to redistribute your source under GPL.

That would be OK, if you were permitted to sell GPL based software without giving away the source under GPL, which you are not.

TLDR: GPL is infectious, which is great for protecting GNU software like Linux, but it also makes it complicated for people to build and sell commercial software on Linux.

I build Django apps for clients, and I avoid any python library that's GPL only.
I don't understand how you can be in it for the long run if you've taken funding. That means you need to be working towards some sort of exit. VC isn't just there to make your business awesome, they want their money back (in multiples of course).

I understand the benefits to VC and congrats on raising it, I just don't see how you can be in it for the long run. How is that possible?
Ask HN: Gut instinct quote for this Android Project
Hi,

I'm looking for suggestions on how much to offer/expect for an Android Project contract. I have a New Mum website which users can submit shopping tips to (it's mostly my friends at the moment). My boyfriend made an iPhone app for the website. It is basically a read-only app for my websites API (apart from login/register). I would like to offer my users an Android app also. The project description is:

-Splash screen

-Register screen (Facebook & Email)

-Login screen (Facebook & Email)

-Map screen showing ~100 icon markers (custom icon and popup)

--Map marker icons can be filtered by category, and API searched by date and title/location

-Detail screen, after you click on a map marker. It has 1 main image, hosted on my website and some details describing the item.

-iPhone graphics would be provided, but the Android developer will have to manage all Android design (for phones and tablets etc)

This isn't a job offer (just yet!), I would just like your 'gut instinct' quote, and any supporting comments or suggestions. I hope the app would be ready in 1 or 2 weeks, is that reasonable?

If there are any questions, I'll be glad to answer where I can!

You can also contact me at MichelleMarch8 at gmail.

Merci,

Michelle

Don't forget you can use App Engine with Google's Cloud SQL which is basically MySQL.

App Engine is definitely more limiting just not as limiting as you think. And, what you fail to mention is what you get in return for these limitations. You get a system that scales with no configuration or maintenance necessary. Even Elastic Beanstalk needs to be configured and maintained because it is more open.

App Engine is really a web developers dream platform. It is just a matter of whether your app will work with its limitations.
Whitehouse Petition To Drone Bomb The WBC

Obviously everyone's health situation differs, but my health insurance experiences have been similar to MMM's. For an 'average' person/family, health insurance shouldn't be breaking the bank (e.g. $200-300 per month).

I've heard of some realistic pre-existing health conditions that required $600+/month for specialty meds, but if that $7000+ per year is enough to make the difference in your 'retirement', it wouldn't be too bad to get a part time job to cover your cost.

> 1) There's no 'redefinition' going on here.

"However, Money's meaning of the word [gender] did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today, the distinction is strictly followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences[5][6] and documents written by the World Health Organization (WHO).[4] However, in most other contexts, even in some areas of social sciences, the meaning of gender has undergone a usage shift to include "sex" or even to replace the latter word."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

That's just 'gender' and 'sex'. The first responder proceeded to redefine 'female' and 'male':

"Females as a noun is used to refer to lower animals, I believe you mean women."

No reputable dictionary or colloquial usage defines 'female' as a noun to refer to "lower animals."

> 2) You're free to have whatever ethical norms you want, but just like 'free speech,' that doesn't mean you're free from criticism. You can call anyone whatever you like, doesn't mean that I (and others) won't think you're a shitty person, _especially_ after having an explicit conversation about it.

Which one of us gets to tell the other how to behave on the basis of how we feel about it? I find it offensive how you use rhetoric to label those you disagree with as 'shitty' people; it doesn't leave any room for discourse.

I'm reminded of the Stephen Fry quote:

"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

Indeed, being offended provides no insight into understanding why you're offended, and without explaining why, there's no basis to make a rational evaluation of whether the behavior that offends you is actually ethically wrong.

He actually does say it:

> The title of infoliberalism that I recently gave to this theory expresses its similarity of logic with some radical liberalisms like agorism (see the new libertarian manifesto) or anarcho-capitalism, of which it would constitute somehow an effective method of realization; with the difference, that it is rebuilt on a new foundation : instead of the postulate of private property (but while most often respecting it), infoliberalism is built on the postulate of communication freedom, which only needs proper software on the Web for developing all its logical consequences up to rebuilding the whole political order.

In other words, this still conveniently ignores the fact that we're still meatbags who live on tracts of land, so I don't know.

1, I totally disagree 100% with the 'lower animals' statement, so you know. I think that's pretty ridiculous.

Let's put it this way: words change over time, and if the word changed in the 70s (that was before I was even alive), then it's changed, and the words we use _now_ matter _now_. Language is _never_ static.

2, You keep going back to that 'offense' bit, and referring to 'feelings.' I am not offended. That doesn't come into this at all, as I'm not a liberal. Please read my part about wage gaps, rape culture, and equal rights again.

> Indeed, being offended provides no insight into understanding why you're offended, and without explaining why, there's no basis to make a rational evaluation of whether the behavior that offends you is actually ethically wrong.

As I said before and above, there has been endless explanation of material harm caused by the cultural situation that women (and other minority groups) face today. If you don't know why, at this point, you're just being willfully ignorant.
In San Francisco, I think the most a family of three could get a year (GA + CalFresh) is $10,416. Maintaining GA for any length of time is almost impossible, though, and you need to do eight hours of "workfare" a week to remain qualified (so no retirement).

Not to mention that you need to somehow figure out how to rent an apartment for three in SF for less then $300 a month.
"I really like Great American road trips, where we bring tents and mountain bikes and stay in a bunch of beautiful places, riding the wilderness trails in each. In big cities, we’ll still get a hotel in a nice spot and bike around to explore the city, but the real joy for me comes whenever I get a chance to put some effort into the vacation — either physical or mental, like figuring out how to make blackened fish tacos on a camp stove."

How to get good at building wireframes
A modest HMO that covers a family cannot be had for less than $1k/month sticker price. If you don't want co-insurance it's at least $1200. At least in Massachusetts. Family of 3, no pre-existings. Good plans with a $25 co-pay on popular corporate providers (tufts/Harvard pilgrim) are nearly $1500/month, blue cross is close to $1800.

Expensive. No way around it.

Suffering from excruciating mental pain from within?
I'm curious, what for? Performance, type safety or compile errors?

If type safety, then in my opinion it is overrated. A side effect of using dynamically-typed language is that developers keep their naming conventions consistent and in check. Because that's the only sane way to avoid stupid typos in a language that doesn't have a compiler. It is not so in the compiled language world. What I often see in the code, where type safety is enforced, - is that developers get sloppy with names! And as a result, there is a significant increase in bugs caused by logic errors. sad
It does mean that for a large dictionary attack things will go a lot slower. Rather than one computing one hash and comparing it to 50M hashes, the same word must be hashed with 50M different salts and then compared with their respective hashes.

I agree with you, but I wonder what makes a publisher reputable? I can't even name one out of the blue.
Fair enough I understand that. I think there's a difference between founders sacrificing their time and money on something that can fail easily and an employee who makes a little less than market salary (and works hard). It doesn't have to be a startup for you to work crazy hours or be personally invested. But there are many situations in between the extremes that make it seem unfair for early employees not to share in the potential spoils.
I'm not sure what your point is?

No monopoly is realistically absolute in economic/political/social systems due to inherent resource limitations (plus some chaos theory thrown in).

But the state still has a legal monopoly on violence.
Nevertheless, it's natural. People expect short inferential distances[1]. In plain speak, we tend to intuitively assume that a piece of knowledge is either common knowledge, or easily explainable from common knowledge.

Like: "there's a tiger behind the bushes!". Not everyone knows that, since the tiger is difficult to spot. Everyone however knows what a tiger looks like, and what danger or source of food it represents. So, anyone who doesn't understand that sentence is an idiot.

Conversely, if someone who tells you that stars are Balls of Gas Burning Billions Miles away[2] is plain crazy… unless it's your which doctor, of course. That one knows ways you don't.

Except that the last two paragraphs are now bullshit. A few centuries ago (very recently, by evolutionary standards), our world became more complicated, and our instincts haven't quite caught up yet.

Laziness? Lack of empathy? Yeah, sure. But the effort required to expect the inferential distances we actually have to deal with is very real. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if that last paragraph fell short for anyone who isn't familiar with the LessWrong Sequences[3]. Sorry.

As a two word phrase which everyone understands to mean the social theory that men have unearned social, economic, and political advantages or rights that are granted to them solely on the basis of their sex, and which are usually denied to women.

> As far as I can tell, you're getting angry at the wrong people, for the wrong reasons.

>You really think the tech industry is responsible for clueless mouth breathers telling your daughters that technology is 'boy stuff'?

Directly no, but by saying it's not our job to deal with the problem, you're just as culpable. So long as there are people in this industry, or any other, who refuse to address gender issues because it's not our job, or there's nothing I can do about it, then those are the people I should be getting angry at. By refusing to acknowledge the problem and addressing it directly, we allow the problem to continue.

As an industry that embrases diversity (gender; racial; social) but suffers from a lack of it, regardless of blame, it's on us to stand up to society and find solutions. We should be social crusaders. By being a members of the society in which the problem exists, it _is_ our responsibility to work to correct it.

My job is not "to write software, design hardware, and ship products," from the moment my daughters were born my job is educator, and social advocate. Shipping products: That's just what I do to pay the bills. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do for a living. I still get excited about new toys (we have new equipment showing up next week), cool projects, being involved in cutting-edge research, but at the end of the day, it's all meaningless. None of it compares to the glow in my daughters eyes two years ago when she opened the Mindtorms kit she got for christmas, or the excitement _she_ has when she pulls out the erector set with some grand new idea.

So, yeah, _my_ job is to educate and crusade.

> For an 'average' person/family, health insurance shouldn't be breaking the bank (e.g. $200-300 per month).

Let's play dueling anecdotes.

$300 a month was right around the cost of my COBRA premium for a group plan covering myself only, circa 2006.

$150 a month was what I paid as for an individual plan in my mid 20s circa 1998, and that was for a plan with relatively spare coverage and high deductibles. Perfectly healthy (arguably above average), living in a community that was also arguably above national averages for health statistics and below national average living costs.

I'm very skeptical of the truth of any claim that one could cover a family at $300 a month. Especially in 2013.

Heck, I'm somewhat skeptical that there are people out there nowadays who've been able to buy reasonable coverage on the individual market at all. I know people who don't have to worry much about money but who've still found it a hassle to get insured.
As to the security concerns, I strongly recommend passing the results of Markdown compilation into a separate HTML sanitizer library. Preferably one based on whitelisting. You should do this even if your Markdown compiler claims to protect against malicious HTML. The way I see it, a dedicated HTML sanitizer library is less likely to let something through than a Markdown compiler that offers sanitization as an afterthought.

For Ruby, I like Sanitize (https://github.com/rgrove/sanitize). I'm sure you can find something similar for any major language.

I live in Maine and have 4 kids. We pay $535 a month. The key is setting your deductible high and forgoing co-pays. As long as you have some savings in place (which is easier to do when you pay less) and be smart about visits, it works really well and yet your covered for anything serious.
(;P I did feel that was somewhat awkward, but I felt I satisfied the grammar with the rest of my post.)
> Personally, I always use braces in conditional and loop statements, so I'll never have the empty statement semicolon. But that's me.

But if you have

if (something()); { somethingOther(); }

Then you have a new problem: you intended the braced statement to execute iff the if-statement evaluated to true. But since you put the semicolon after if by accident, now the braced part will execute no matter what the if-condition evaluates to.

(my point was about unintentional use of semicolon after if-statement - in which case always using braces doesn't seem to help.)
I hate quotes in URLs, so we are even.
> Let's put it this way: words change over time, and if the word changed in the 70s (that was before I was even alive), then it's changed, and the words we use _now_ matter _now_. Language is _never_ static.

I wholly agree. But the usage is not universal (by far), and the reworked definitions are used to hit people over the head.

I call a trans person by their preferred gender because it's the polite thing to do, and I try to be a polite and respectful person. However, bringing it up in this context to hit someone over the head for their word choices is not polite.

> As I said before and above, there has been endless explanation of material harm caused by the cultural situation that women (and other minority groups) face today. If you don't know why, at this point, you're just being willfully ignorant.

Which is why using logic-defying rhetorical anvils is just so counter-productively trite and trivial. It leaves me wondering whether these forms of divisive identity politics are really about the equality they claim to be trying to achieve.

What's the point of the robotic clothes horse when dryers are already available?

To each his own, I guess. But as I said, dryers were invented for a reason. That reason is mostly convenience. I grew up in a home that hung laundry out to dry. I now live on a large enough property that no one without binoculars would know if I hung my laundry outside, but yet I use an electric clothes dryer. Why? It's infinitely easier and more convenient to just toss clothes from the washer into the dryer right next to it, push a button and walk away knowing they'll all be dry and fluffy when I get back.

Don't discount convenience; it's the other Mother of Invention.
