Good rental (i.e., well-maintained, good neighbors, long-term, non-crazy owner, etc.) may be harder to find than a comparable house to buy, and you still don't own it meaning there are many things that you can not do there.

>>>> It's like people have forgotten about the housing bubble popping just five years ago

Not everybody did. Some found it a pretty good opportunity to finally get into the market while it temporarily became a bit less insane than usual. Home ownership doesn't have to be with a goal to strike it rich on a bubble, it may be to minimize housing expenses too.
Why would I pay for parking? The streets are free. "Only SUCKERS pay for parking" will be the motto.

People will be hacking their vehicles, right? They can program any behavior they want, right? NYC's off-street parking rates can easily exceed $20/hour. It is CHEAPER to tell your car to drive around aimlessly waiting for you than for it to park. Sure, traffic is miserable. But you aren't in it, so it's okay.

Find 15-minute loading zones. Park there for 15 minutes. Move to another one (your spot immediately taken by another empty vehicle). Repeat.

Park next to fire hydrants at no cost. Use the same visual scanners you use to navigate to detect approaching police and parking enforcement, and if one is detected, drive away.

There are limitless opportunities for self-serving behavior that ends up being hugely anti-social when any significant portion of the population does it. Basically there are three choices:

1. self-driving cars are locked down as all hell, The Man controls them all (proactive enforcement)

2. all the bad stuff is fined out the wazoo - Arab sheiks and Steve Jobs just pay the tickets, but no one else does - (reactive enforcement)

3. self-driving cars create a miserable traffic situation for everyone, in a massive tragedy of the commons problem (no enforcement)
Ask Uber and the similar services currently embroiled in legal battles in NYC and LA how "no one" cares about taxis politically. Changing incumbents isn't so simple

You feel bad about helping to gentrify San Francisco... so you're going to move to Portland and help gentrify Portland instead.... because girls at bars won't judge you as harshly in Portland?

I don't think you are wrong to be self-analytical and self-critical about the economic role you play in your city, and possible harm you can cause.

But moving to a new city isn't a solution to anything except possibly your ego.
Communities are built by people that are in for the long haul. How many renters show up at city council meetings? The age of renting is the age of "bowling alone".
ElCamino and Alma/Central sort of meet the description. Though less so in PA then surrounding towns.
GHC doesn't use Clang. It has two backends: native and LLVM. AFAIK there is some work going on to combine the latter with emscripten to get JS output, but apparently it doesn't work for the runtime yet.
It's necessary to understand why the attack works, but not so much for understanding how to implement it. But you're right.
Any idea why they delayed the release of this second video?
(Slightly related..) I like AngularJS, but I very strongly disagree with the idea of the one page app. I don't know what else to say. It just seems wrong. Javascript was meant to make the page more dynamic and responsive, not take over the entire experience and (possibly) slow everything down. It's supposed to be a layer, not everything.
In addition to what others have mentioned, consider passive endpoints, such as SMS and push notifications.

Whenever I see a new to-JS compiler, I first check if it supports source maps [1]. If it doesn't, I ignore it (until it does).

edit: okay, I don't always ignore them, but writing code which will need to be maintained is definitely out of the question (anything more complex than tiny toy apps)

I've personally resisted the urge to participate in that as I believe it's counter to the "hackers only" philosophy of HN but, as someone with a B.S. in Biology and an MPH in Health Policy, pretty much -ANY TIME- medicine, health, biology, etc. come up in HN it's a barrage of ignorance, errors, and the sort of intense nonsense bullshit that I would expect of corners of the internet populated by people far dumber than HN's crowd.
Exactly. Treating every interaction as a business transaction is off-putting and can have negative effects with the only positive being that you might make a bit more cash for some small changes.

The bonuses to agreeing to make smallish changes on the fly (for free or pay depending on your style) without acting like it's a pain in your ass are goodwill and a strong working relationship which results in a happy client which results in more work from that client as well as probable referrals to people that client knows.

As the saying goes, you can sheer a sheep many times but skin it only once.

Here's the problem with centralized car ownership: Everyone wants access to a car at roughly the same time. Everybody in your "carshare" will want the car at 8AM & 5PM on weekdays, and all day on weekends.

Thus, the "carshare" company will need almost as many cars as it has subscribers- at which point you will be paying $300/month instead of $50/month, comparable to paying a loan on your own car.

Of course, pricing models can pressure some people to give up the car on weekends or drive to work at 7AM, so the "carshare" can indeed have somewhat fewer cars than it has subscribers. However, unless it can cause a dramatic shift in usage and field far fewer vehicles than it has subscribers, the cost of subscribing will be so close to owning a car many people will opt to continue owning their own.

I'm told ZipCar already suffers from this, and by nature is most popular among people who need a car extremely infrequently- a fairly small portion of the population.
Boehner was elected with something like 200,000 votes from Cincinattans. He can say the word "treason" until he's blue in the face, but on the question of what Snowden will be charged with, his words carry no more force than those of a Redstate.com blogger.

The numbers scale up a bit for Feinstein, who at least holds statewide office, but the end result is no different.

This isn't a fiddly technical point. The separation of powers between the Legislative and Executive branches is fundamental to our system of government. In cases where dingbat representatives try to rabble-rouse for unwarranted treason charges, you can see why the founders were smart to divest the Legislature of the power to enforce the laws they enact.

Cmon, you and I both know software is never perfect. You can spout all the facts you want about how safe it is but it would be ludicrous of both the government and Google not to take into account what happens when something goes haywire and the panoply of scenarios that could occur.

Congrats on making the decision to open source this. I'm interested to see how the community will help drive the development of new features. As I'm sure everyone here knows, saying "no" is crucial. It may be a lot harder to say no when a pull request is sitting in your inbox. I would suggest spending some time hammering out a wiki for contribution guidelines, and a development roadmap. I just signed up for an account, and am very excited to see how this progresses!

Edit: One other thing - right now, invites get you more uploads. Depending on how heavy-handed you want to be about good contributions, it might help to require the invitee to upload at least one picture or recommend at least 3 pictures before the inviter gets their additional uploads. That might slow the growth too much though. It's definitely a balance.
No, it's not. It's the truth.
The people you want aren't the people who leave at 5:00 pm and are drinking every night by 5:30. I agree with you there. I doubt that's all you'll get in Austin. A lot of New York/Bay Area people are moving to Austin, Seattle and NC to raise families and most of them have aged out of their heavy-drinking days.

Nor do you (should you, anyway) want the people who work 75-hour weeks at their startups and don't learn any new skills except the one or two things in the critical path of their assigned project (the rest of their work being grunt work they learn nothing from). Those people will suffer a lot to keep their jobs and because they overestimate the career benefit of what they're doing, but they rarely produce anything good.

So you don't want the Austin stereotype (leaves at 5:00, drinking by 5:30) or the Bay Area/New York stereotype (all-in on his employer's assigned work, burns out in 15 months, gets fired but walks away with a tiny sliver of equity that prevents you from forgetting his existence entirely). I agree with you on both. (Not to say that those stereotypes describe everyone in those regions; they don't.)

You want the people who leave at 5:00pm and then work on things that interest them for 3 hours. (Or get up early and work on side projects before coming to you.) Those are the people with the good ideas. Not the workaholic corporate stooges, and not the semi-retired slackers.

Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with working an 8-hour day if you do it efficiently. Hell, an efficient 5-hour day is probably better than what most corporates put in, even if they're in the office for 10+ hours (that's about shared suffering and its social purposes, not efficiency).

>The Wii-U has already had a huge price drop since launch about half a year ago and sales are still anemic, that's not a good sign considering that sales are unlikely to be better 6 months from now when the xbox and playstation next gen consoles are on the market, let alone after the next ipad rev. hits. If they were smart they'd transition into a software only company.

The Wii U hasn't had a price drop yet.
I recently wrote two Node.js libraries that use promises extensively, an Active Record style ORM http://bookshelfjs.org and Query Builder http://knexjs.org. I actually didn't find a need for many of the higher level functions, outside of .then I'd typically stick to .all, .reject / .resolve, and occasionally .defer.

The source should be fairly annotated and is structured similar to Backbone.js, so it might be useful to take a look through and see where/how those functions are being used.
Yeah, I don't entirely understand why people are so fixated on California uber alles for tech jobs. It's so easy to do development from anywhere, especially a US timezone, that it boggles my mind that people will pay $3k for a one bedroom in SF to make low six figures at a startup and act as if that's the only choice available.

Rent is high in SF because more people want to live there than there is room for. If you want to spend that much of your salary for that privilege, then feel free. Personally, visiting is good enough for me, and I have plenty left over to visit the rest of the world as well.
>my prescription for solving the problem doesn't have anything to do with strengthening the FISC.

It's not _our_ job to enforce the NDA between Apple and other people, no, but we can certainly call out people for breaking their contract. The more people start ignoring their agreements, the closer Apple might get to canning their whole early-release developer program, which is a bad thing for all of us.

Talk about it all you want, just don't fuck it up for everyone else.

OT but interesting quote syntax, using the code tag and the |. What made you develop your own quote formatting instead of the standard single angle bracket (which has precedents in email, Usenet, and Markdown)?
The Wired article talks about internal tools used to compile code. In line with that, there is an interesting video "Building Software at Google Scale" [1], which seems to give an overview of the systems used.

What do you think about not using any operator (but space+"") for concatenation and using a syntax like this:

var 1 = 5+5 // I would expect: Error 0-9 cannot be used as a variable
var foo = "Hello " "Bob!" "\nAre you there?"
var bar = "Hello " 1

console.info(1) // throw error and refer to var 1

console.info(foo)
"Hello Bob!
Are you there?"

console.info(bar)
"Hello 1"
yep, i've seen too many times how such things happen at various places to imagine that it can go any differently:

"... she brought a “product perspective” to Google’s developer tools, insisting that, although they were only used inside the company, they should be treated like like products used by the world at large. “She bootstrapped a new charter for the team,” he says. “We had to think of these as products used by other Google engineers — and she brought that attitude. We had to think of them as cohesive things, to give them a nice presentation. That had not been the focus before.”"

focus, perspective, think of as product, bootstrap, charter, cohesive, team... 7 large ones in BS-bingo.
> Actually, you can declare a fixed-length array as a type. So if you need to return a triple of ints, you can declare the return type to be [3]int and have the type system check that you're actually returning an array of ints of length 3.

That's different from a tuple as it is commonly known in Python and statically typed languages. Tuples can be heterogeneous in languages like Python, OCaml, and Haskell, which Go fixed length arrays can't be. For example, in Go you can't have `(int, float)`.

Our apartment is 900/month near the 28th St. and E Burnside restaurants. Great area and we find it very affordable. No kids though. Last I looked, if you can put 10-20% down, you can get a nice house in the area for 1500-1750 a month mortgage payment.
It's fine for people who aren't officially credentialled experts in something to talk about it. The best insights often come from outsiders. The problem comes when people express their ideas intemperately, either by making extreme statements that should be more qualified and tentative, or by being uncivil to one another.

I believe I've finally come up with a solution for that, incidentally, after years of searching. It will require surprisingly little new code. I almost started implementing it during the 4th of July holiday, but I started writing a new essay instead.
Oooohh!!

Pizzeria Napolitano is not even in Palo Alto. And your redefinition of "best" to "cheap" doesn't really work for me either.
This is not direcly connected to any incubator (yet). I'm a student of Moscow Founders Institute Summer program (http://fi.co). Was making this site as a side project to practice Python/Flask/Redis. At Founders Institute I met Eugene Gordeev from Russian Ventures (http://rusve.com) and we decided to carry on this experimental project.
If you're willing to tolerate a 30-35 minute commute, Millbrae/Burlingame is a lot cheaper than Palo Alto, and that allows for job opportunities in both SF and Silicon Valley.

Fascinating - I've honestly never actually considered that.

How do you believe that social media and the like are playing into this long standing control of the media? What are the implications for the future (of both society and social media)?
This is pretty interesting.

The attacks can only be carried out by a determined
attacker who can generate sufficient sessions for the
attacks.

2^30 connections seems pretty insane to me. Who the hell can generate that many without having a client-side bot running, and if a client-side bot is running who the hell cares about RC4?...

Also, is it really such a big deal to use AES-256 or AES-GCM now? I mean, (a) we're not running web-servers on 1998 hardware and (b) we're not designing sites for IE6 and under any more.

I don't think he said it would reduce the demand for cars, instead his theory is that it would reduce the demand for individual ownership of cars. The demand would probably increase, but be serviced by fewer cars because of more efficient use.
You are describing ZipCar.

Think carefully- what about your described usage is truly distinct from what ZipCar offers? What significant value-add would an autonomous car provide?

I argue that ZipCar is already a perfect model of what it would be like, because ZipCar already does what you describe.
I wouldn't dare put my data anywhere near Gmail or Streak. The opportunity for something to go wrong is too high for my liking having dealt with Google "support" before. Considering Streak seems to be a hacked on extension as well, no chance.

We currently use JIRA but to be honest, when you hit 100 people (we're at 142 users), it's too expensive in licenses, kit and administrative time. It's also damn unreliable.

We're currently spanking it down to a heavily customised Trac instance. We can run the same processes with a 10th of the resources, no license fee and we actually get what we want. We have: code review, workflows, full ALM process management, defect tracking, reporting, helpdesk and error logging all in one place. Trac is an utterly awesome product, but very misunderstood.

I wear glasses and light fonts on light backgrounds suck hard. I noticed Mr. Ive doesn't wear glasses – at least in public. May be that's the problem.

As for Helvetica, I have nothing against as it is a fine typeface. A little overused, maybe that's why some trendy folks despise it so intensely. All the typography theory apart, in the end typefaces are all about personal taste.

Anyway, I don't know why they didn't go with something like Univers with configurable weight in the settings app. If they've chosen this path this problem simply wouldn't exist.
A map is a set. In a map, the key and value can be different things. In a set, they are the same. That's the only difference. They are both associative containers.
