> Now I understand your comment. Just a side remark, ~ usually doesn't work correctly in Plan9 from User Space and you have to input all the path... I'm sure it can be worked around, but I haven't got time to figure it out.

Sorry you're right. I was having a moment of absentmindedness there. The issue is Plan 9 doesn't use tilde as a shortcut for home[1] so I don't think there's anything you can do (short of editing the source code and aliasing it manually)

> I'm still the only emacs user among ~30 hardcore unix users that have a preference for vi and vim (yes, both, I didn't forget the "m".) I can understand that they like vim (or I could if they knew more vim than they do, but they mostly don't and miss all the cool stuff vim has to offer, which is lots) but I just can't get why they don't even try emacs to see what other intelligent beings see in it. I have done it with vim, acme and I even try to use sam and ed occasionally to get used to different paradigms in editing. Probably I'm just nuts :)

People are busy and if you're already efficient in one editor then there's often little incentive to try another. I did give Acme a try though - used it pretty heavily for about a week then came to the conclusion that it was getting in the way more than it was speeding things up (eg it's become habit to use middle click to paste text). Plus most of my work is done inside SSH sessions, so I wasn't really making much use of the Acme's innovative features.

It's a bit of a pity because I do like the concept behind Acme and if it was customisable than I could probably tweak it to fit in better with my work flow. Maybe one day I'll give it another try, but for now it was more jarring than performance enhancing :(
Or Sony calling PSOne a modified/updated version of the first Playstation.
So cringe-worthy when when an exec is presenting and obviously pauses because someone told him to expect applause and the room is silent.
I think they're saving most of the game related content for E3, which is soon(ish).
This can't be over stressed. I've a friend who used to work as a shooter for several photographers. A good photographer won't let a freelancer anywhere near a wedding utill they've proved themselves on less critical jobs. The stress is unbelievable and the liability is enormous, both in dollar terms and in reputation.
I'll toss out another warning to those thinking of using this for back packing. I've seen baffles come apart on MEC sleeping pads with a similar design - it's a big enough problem that they acknowledged on their website for their first gen pads. I'd be leery of trusting a brand-new product from a team with limited experience in producing camping gear. It's not as simple as finding a factory in China to produce gear.

This is insanity to anyone but a photographer. I wonder how often it is that a photographer loses out on the proverbial jackpot when a customer resells their images.

I'm another guy on the internet, and I just want to tell you, you don't have to be mean to people on the internet. You don't have to write nice things to everybody, but mean things just suck. Writing mean things just makes the world more mean. I'd rather not read mean things, and I'm sure you'd rather not write mean things. There's too little time in life for that.

How do you think Dave's going to take this post? He writes that HN is full of people just attacking him.
> The issue I take with Dave Winer is that he seems to feel as though his accomplishments or contributions somehow elevate his words beyond criticism.
Bam, right in the nuts. Fuck you, and fuck your accomplishments.

I'm sorry if my post sounds mean, I really want you to have the happiest possible life and a great time here. But if his post is terrible, you don't have to pollute your head with it and pollute my head by writing mean things about it.

I don't come here to read wishy washy "great job dude!" posts, but I don't come here to gossip about how people think they've got a "permanent apotheosis" or whatever. He's just a dude on the internet, you're just a dude on the internet. Be nice to each other. Life is too short to do otherwise.

Best of luck!

In my opinion, this should be left to the owners of the specific building and not a city wide restriction. I own a property in Florida and the HOA restricts rentals less than a month. It isn't necessary for the municipality to get involved.

I'm pretty impressed with the device but I was expecting a LOT more when they started talking about sports. Especially considering that live sports is one of the last bastions of television. Fantasy football and "taunting friends on Skype" is not what I consider an ultimate experience.

I love stuff like this. If i was hiring some talent, something like this would really get my attention.
Kudos to the person that put it together, but at the same time, I do worry for said person; we live in a society where recruitment is clearly broken, and there's a chance something like this would work against him.

That's not deter him in anyway though. I just hope he does well out of it.

Wishing you all the best.
Chobani is unusual in that it brought a different product to the market that was objectively better. There are other new players in the dairy industry, but a lot of that action is applying lifestyle marketing to food products (e.g. getting people to pay more for trendy food when they could get the same food for much less without the lifestyle brand). Think about stuff like flavored water--a product that couldn't get more fungible that exists because marketing makes it seem non-fungible.
> * if there are 200 people in a building and it burns down does it really matter if they were there temporarily or permanently?*

It absolutely matters, and your scenario is a very serious one. Permanent residents know where the fire exits are, and which hallways are dead-ends. Temporary residents may not even be aware which windows open onto a fire escape.
As someone who is a dedicated gamer, I think his comment is 100% valid. The last PlayStation I owned was the PS2, after that the Xbox and the Xbox 360 were my primary consoles, mostly because Xbox Live was such a breath of fresh air for multiplayer console gaming.

I'm 99.9% sure I'm buying a PS4 this fall because of the extreme de-emphasis on gaming for the next Xbox, while Sony is making all the right moves in supporting indie games, etc.
EDIT: Changed my mind. What I wrote below is not the argument the OP was making and your criticism stands...

Though, if the photographer holds copyright they can still charge per digital copy (per use?) of the same photo.

---

You're missing the point. Unless they retouch the photo before every subsequent digital "reprint", there's no reason to charge per digital copy of the same photo.

The OP is saying "charge what you're going to charge, but don't keep charging for each subsequent copy".
The Online MasterClass Big Data Strategy in One Evening
Here is my flow --

#1 I expect to be able to read extensive excerpts for free. Table of contents is not enough, because I want to know how that one section is more than a few paragraphs.

#2 I buy the ebook and start reading it. If it isn't Kindle it must be DRM free.

#3 If I finish the ebook, and I find myself continually referencing back to it I buy the print version.

#4 If I think the book is really good, I'll buy anywhere from 1 - 10 more copies to give as presents. Doesn't happen often.

I don't want a print book taking up space unless it is collectible or for reference.
They should have called it Xbox Zero.
I'd say that the pendulum has swung too far in the "cloud" direction and the interesting opportunities could be elsewhere.

For instance, I worked at a place that used Google docs for everything and I hated it. I couldn't make presentations in anywhere near the quality I could make with Powerpoint and this made it harder for me to maintain the professional image I wanted to maintain.

Similarly, people are so trained to use Google, Gmail and such that we've all given up on having desktop or small office search or having a local mail client which is workable at all. With email dominated by zombie products like Gmail and Outlook, it's no wonder that it's 2013 and we still get forged mail from visa.com.

The funniest one is that Duck Duck Go is trying to distinguish itself from Google and Bing by not having personalization, but on the other hand, Google and Bing do not have any real personalization. They do some simple parlor tricks that confuse SEOs without hurting the rankings, but they are stuck with P@1 at .70 by the fact that neither one can or will (because of business model, expense, laws in the EU, not knowing how to evaluate personalized search results, etc.) deliver a system that uses a user model to make the system more useful to the user.

There could be a real role for a system that lets you have your own "intelligent agent" that works for you and could do things that can't be done by companies that are trying to sell you as a product. Such an agent will be an enemy of the "API economy" but so what...
Just as I got a tonne of information from yours. My point is that this is, primarily a games console. They're up against Sony, who are focusing entirely on games, and Nintendo, who are focusing entirely on games. They've shown, essentially, 3 games, and a giant pile of fluff. I can already watch TV on my TV. I have never desired to go "Quick, watch TV! Damn, back to the game! No, wait, TV! Hold on, TV guide!". That's a gimmick, not a feature worthy of nearly a minute of stage time. It looks, in honesty, like a rushed announcement for something that's years off ready, not launching in 6 months.

My "highbrow" comment then, is that this is a big mistake. They had the advantage of being the last next-gen console reveal - they can answer every point of Sony and Nintendo, plus add their own spin. And they basically gave us less information than was already public in the gaming press, probably pissed off a large proportion of the hardcore gaming public, are unlikely to have attracted the non-gaming groups, and picked a rather daft name. It was an open goal, and this went so far wide, I think they'd have been better not saying anything until they had something to say.
> what right do you have to run a foul smelling eyesore right beside the property where I'm attempting to raise a family?

He has every right to do this. Why do you assume that your family is more important than his tannery?

The regulations against things like tannery in an apartment are only there so that you can, when e.g. choosing a place to raise your family, find a place that will suit your requirements. It's like labels on food. You want something without sugar? You go and find something labeled "sugar-free". Regulations are there only to help you choose what you want. You don't look at a sugar drink and then ask "what rights does a food company have to put sugar in my drink when I'm trying to stay on keto?".

NY has a significantly larger population than SF and has the same kind of sex worker infrastructure.

My point is that cracking down on human trafficking does not benefit established interests, while cracking down on AirBnB does, even though there is clearly great harm to those who are enslaved as sex workers and no harm to those who decide to save money on a hotel by staying in an AirBnB room.
>This wave of product discontinuations i

I see what you did there.
> and somebody else doesn't understand what the fuck you are saying

It seems that this community borderline prides itself in being so concerned with edge cases and minutia that they have no clue at all what people mean. There is no desire to see if there is truth behind the curtains, no desire to "auto-correct" a slip of the tongue. If one sentence can be attacked, it will be. If one detail is out of place, that's grounds for dismissing everything else.
You're probably thinking of Therm-a-Rest mattresses. According to Wikipedia, they've been around since the early 1970s.
Chris, thanks very much for sharing this story with us. It takes a lot of courage, and as someone who has been a caretaker (briefly) for a loved one before, I very much empathize by how difficult it is to run a company while doing laundry/cooking/feeding/bathing/entertaining another person--while at the same time trying to keep it together emotionally.

I hope that you and Kristie stay tenacious. All the best.
Why Silicon Valley is not the second coming of the Gilded Age
No worries. Happens to the best of us! Looking forward to your reply. Sorry about the forwardness of it.
For reference: I lived in Midtown and went to Georgia Tech.

1. Highly visible poverty in the city, and frequent crime.

2. Frequent casual racism, even among students at GaTech.

3. Frequent extremest christian advertising, like preachers outside sporting events and aborted fetuses on billboards

4. Religion being a daily part of life for most people I met

There's a lot more that shocked me over the 5 years of living there and dating southern girls, but I still had fun...I just couldn't adjust. I'd never even seen an overt act of racism except on TV when I was growing up.

Also, keep in mind that when I moved to Atlanta, at 18, I'd seen a lot less of the world than I have now. Living in the South changed my perceptions a lot, and I'm now permanently more aware of my surroundings.

Did they say anything about its power consumption? Because in addition to reduced noise, this would need to have a low-power mode in order to be a successful "always on" device.
The one thing keeping me from using FF dev tools is the fact that there's no interactive console in the debugger. Seems like you have to instead create watch expressions for everything you want to check. Even GDB lets you poke around after a breakpoint... For anything Javascript-related you're still gonna have to install Firebug.
Show HN: What a non-designer can do with a Bootstrap template and an afternoon
This sounds like an old school photographer. That's the how the model used to work, especially wedding photographers.

Being a professional glamour photographer (www.topmodelphotography.com) I can say that is not how all photographers work. I always give all the RAW photos immediately after the shoot.

Some photographers want to pick out the good ones, retouch them, and only give those out. This ensures that there is nothing out there that would reflect badly upon them. Personally, I'm not as concerned with this and I'd rather have less friction with clients.
They are bigger, but most people aren't exactly using their ceiling space anyway so that isn't really the downside. The downside is the installation.

Wikis. Who woulda thunk that a website that anybody can edit would actually work, let alone become an important component of the web and most corporate intranets.

HTTP. The protocol is not that complicated, but it's become ubiquitous, and a cornerstone of the web.

Social news. Nowadays everybody takes links you can vote on as a "duh" feature and wonder what the big deal behind Reddit is, but when it came out in 2005, it was very much a "Why has nobody thought of this before? Oh, right, because nobody will ever use it" invention.
i think your kind of testimony is really the best a developer could hope to read. We all know that in a somewhat indirect way, we are helping someone somewhere with our work, but it must feel really good to hear one say it out loud from time to time.

PS : I'm not even building an IDE, so that makes me even further away from helping anyone help someone.
Well, it is being addressed. Ideally, I would like my phone to tell the server to save history of its chats, Pidgin on the desktop syncing these chats over from the server and then deleting them from the server and the server making sure that, if Pidgin is running, it gets messages instantly even if they are sent to/from the phone, either by pushing Pidgin to sync history or ignoring the full JID and always doing a CC to Pidgin.

I guess it is a long way till we get there, though :|

I find advices such as these to be harmful.

The secret of getting hired by good companies is to get noticed. You get noticed by standing out. Otherwise you're competing against hundreds or even thousands of other people with conventional resumes, that have more experience or went to better universities than you did or are just cheaper.
Of course not, but I think the safe bet is to go to some kind of media as opposed to the government with any complaints about / evidence of government corruption.
> Freelance programmers give up their copyright willingly.

No, they give them up because that's _the entire point of hiring a freelancer_. It sounds absurd to pay someone to create something but not actually get that thing for yourself. That's what the money is in exchange for.
I agree. I think there is too much smoke in the Cloud Computing Arena. I think there are still opportunities, but they are clouded. Too many players, and too many directions.

If you really want to innovate in the Cloud Computing industry, take your time to figure out a useful problem to fix. It might help to not think about Cloud Computing itself.

It's even more confusing. The photographer does indeed hold the copyright, unless assigned to someone else. However, the subject has the right to say how their likeness is used. For any commercial usage the photographer must assign rights and the model must sign a model release.
Your second point is very interesting. I wonder why that is... and how you know if that info isn't collected?
It's interesting to see a bunch of people defending broken defaults in this subthread.

Isn't that less the externalities than the pool of folks using the existing hotel infrastructure (bending supply/demand) rather than exploring AirBnb/couch surfing/etc. I imagine if business travelers and tourists used AirBnB en masse, the prices would more closely approach that of traditional hotels... But with hosts that're less dependable.
You still think this is still primarily a game console?

Microsoft is putting all its chips down on the battle for your living room, which is a major front. The fight to be the all-in-one device people buy that replaces their cable box, game console, and media server (and the data being positioned as the provider of that device brings with it) is not a small one.

Self-identified "gamers" like yourself, who will probably turn out to be the minority purchasing audience for this generation of consoles-cum-entertainment boxes, already have a venue for game porn - it's called E3 - and Microsoft knows it's coming up in a few weeks.
I think this brings up a good point, not just regarding git, but also in general.

I noticed something similar also for my dotfiles. My emacs config has my full name and email address (whereas the email address also includes the full name, again) in it (whereas my git commits use another, less directly connected name).

It doesn't really have to do with excessive paranoia (and by all means, it's not that hard to get to a full name from either address), but these are the small places where I tend to forget that information will (or: would) thus ultimately end up in public.
You can really only convert long-term housing into temporary housing. While technically the Holiday Inn is cool with me staying there as long as I want, they won't cut me a deal and charge me $400 / month instead of $100 / night.

The cheapest, sleeziest roadside motel I have ever seen anywhere in the country was $30 / night. For a month that would be $900 with no discount, but I have a hard time imagining that an apartment comparable to that motel was even $300.
