I think the biggest problem is this swiping thing. Imagine Apple had released the first iPhone with a mouse plugged to it. It's a pure betrayal of the original Glass vision, where all user => machine communication goes through voice.

I think is point is, from an individual's perspective, you'd still have to play it safe in the woods. People wouldn't be so inclined to get the vaccine if it didn't allow them to ignore the tick illnesses when they're out in nature. The vaccine wouldn't be so effective in that sense.

My wife and I have elected for no A/C in the city for the last 5 years. Pretty much an experiment in stubbornness, but I'm sure it's also saved real money in electricity and we're also probably so skinny because of it.

We try to keep a cross-breeze going whenever possible; ceiling and floor fans are on full blast at all hours; and most recently, I've enjoyed spritzing my feet with water and lying in front of the fan to cool down.
Is this true in all cases? I believe my folks are paying over $1k per month for health insurance, implying more like double the writer's claim per person.

$70-$140/mo for private health insurance sounds like what you pay if you're young and completely healthy.
Minimum wage has not tracked productivity. People who must rely on these paltry wages are living at near-poverty level and with high unemployment and weak worker rights, it is difficult to demand fair compensation from employers.

http://www.peri.umass.edu/fileadmin/pdf/resources/Minimum_Wa...

>In 1968, the real value of the minimum wage was $10.65, so that, in fact, an increase today to a $10.50 federal minimum would not even bring the minimum wage fully back to the 1968 standard. Moreover, since 1968, average U.S. labor productivity has risen by 135 percent. Thus, if, since 1968, the U.S. minimum wage had only just kept up with inflation and average labor productivity growth, the minimum wage today would be $25.00.
Ask HN: I think I need a NON-Technical co-founder - are you interested?
I’m a developer and I built a webapp called padseeker - I wanted to make building a website for real estate as easy as starting a blog. The target market was Real Estate agents, brokers, property owners, anyone who wants to market real estate online. Creating the site would be as easy as signing up for an account, putting in your contact info, picking a template, and your site is live. While not as flexible or custom site it’s significantly easier/faster - even wordpress has a learning curve.

I could chew your ear off for all the reasons why I think it is brilliant and lucrative business idea, but that is not the point of this post.

Here is my issue - my time is limited. I work a full time job, the primary bread winner for a family of four. I cannot take the risk of leaving a job to make a go at this on my own. And even in my free time it is very difficult to do everything required to make a bootstrapped startup succeed: add features, fix bugs, marketing and promotion, etc.

I have done some cold calling and marketing but it is not my strong suit and I would rather spend my limited time on the things I am good at, while potentially find someone else to help me make this startup idea succeed. I have limited resources so I am not interested in paying someone else to market or promote. I think I need a partner, or at least I want to explore the option of taking on someone else.

It seems like hacker news is flooded with non technical founders looking for technical people to build their idea - this is the reverse. If you have an interest or have any brilliant ideas I’m listening. Please make your case, thanks for your time.

Yea, it's exactly like MongoDB which is also AGPL.

Using the database doesn't impose any restrictions on your software.

Even hacking on juju to add API'S you for your client software doesn't impose restrictions on the client -- it just means you are subject to the AGPL licence source distribution rules on the patched version of Juju.
swagger-js uses the shred library (https://github.com/automatthew/shred) under the hood so HTTP connections between the browser and nodejs work the same.
Although not doubting the author's claims, the budget itself seems a little skewed. Who spends $90/mo on electricity? My bills come to $30/mo from Nstar - although I don't heat or cool my apartment from this supply.
Also, $100/mo for Cable & Phone? $30/mo T-Mobile Plan + $40/mo Comcast Internet = $70/mo.
There's an extra $90/mo saving - for what it's worth.. :-(
So you can make the McD shifts that start or end when public transport does not run?
Sure, and by natural extension there are some people, whom you will never meet (or even be aware of their doing so), who will get to become intimately familiar with the aforementioned data, journalized and cross-referenced in handy tables and graphs. Indefinitely. Nothing you can do about it! Might as well just accept it. Really, all of this hubbub around privacy concerns is totally unfounded. It's the way things have to be.
Because you have 2 jobs totaling ~70 hour work weeks to get to. This probably means that you don't have an hour or 2 to get from one to the other and in many many parts of this country public transit systems take that long.
>> easily available to individuals cost between $70 and $140 dollars for one person

...as long as that person has never had a blip on a health check in the past, and is under 30.

$215 is nowhere near the high end for individual coverage, even for high-deductible plans. Think multiples of that number. I wouldn't be surprised if there were people paying over $1500 for a high-deductible plan for one person.

I had high hopes for Xamarin. The appeal of it was strong: I could program in a functional language (F#) with libraries (.NET) and share my work with friends on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Mobile.

Unfortunately nothing worked. I was blocked at every turn.

The FSharp.core assembly is in someway there and not there (create a project and it's in error-red text, but the compiled app runs). I asked and asked on the IRC channel how to fix it. Programs compiled in Xamarin would work on the host OS, but on Windows would complain about missing assembly. The same project on Xamarin would not compile in Visual studio for the same reason. I never figured out how to properly build executables for both windows and both, or how to arrange my project files to work on Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio. I never figured out how to fix this.

I also tried to play with GTK with F#. Their GTK builder is C# only. OK, fine. F# isn't 1/10 as popular as C#. I know.

So how about iphone? I could drop ObjC, rewrite my app in a language I admire, and finally bring my app to android. However, the sample F# ios app, without modifications, compiles to an executable that is too big for the trial limitation of Xamarin Studio. Wait, the sample "hello world" app (which is supposed to convince that the IDE is worth paying for) can't be run in the trial version of Xamarin Studio? I asked and lurked for days in the IRC channel. In a patronizing exchange with one of the developers, I was told that the Fsharp assembly needs to be embedded into the ios binary. Because of this, the trial limit is reached. An update will fix this later.

Oh well. Nevermind. Once again, I'll shelve the idea of cross platform development.
When systemd became the default in Arch a syslogd implementation became optional.

Just after a few weeks after installing systemd and running it side by side with syslogd I completly switched to a pure systemd + journald without the syslogd.

That's how I remember it at least, I may be wrong in some point.

---------

EDIT:

Ok, I went and searched a little more, here is what I found related to systemd + journald + syslog discussion:

* systemd's journal and syslog: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2012-Fe...

* Arch wiki, about journald: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Journald_in_con...

I think it's interesting to know how Arch did the switch and how it is used, considering this current discussion in the fedora mailing list.
Funny. I was thinking exactly the same thing today after seeing one more "here is what I do to punish recruiters" posts. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6063951
Looks interesting, but I get the feeling using something like ScreenHero would work better. I've used ScreenHero for sort-of pair programming and it works extremely well + it's not limited to editors.
Call it a professional environment and I think that's where we will see the first true impact of wearable computing. Your examples are two good ones. And of course people have mentioned hospitals. Just consider every profession where a desk jockey is not the norm. That's police, firemen, first responders, military, teachers, etc. Heck, why not cashiers and even bar tenders?

Then again, I'm biased. We're building and selling our own version of wearable computing, but driven by your biological rhythms.

Sabre Air will eventually revolutionize internet communication so that it is possible to get internet access cheaply anywhere on earth.

Commstellation a Canadian company are planning 72 micro satellites that will provide backbone capacity for cellphone towers. Latency will be in the 40 ms range. http://www.commstellation.com/

Currently smartphones become dumb phones as soon as you leave your country on vacation, in the future we will be able to connect to internet anywhere cheaply.
Because you have no choice? It would be very fortunate in mass transit hating America to be able to avoid needing a car.

It costs more to be poor than it does to be rich. Poor people can't afford to wait for sales and deals. They buy three crappy $30 pairs of shoes instead of one nice $60 pair of shoes because they live paycheck-to-paycheck. They will take the best car that they can find because maybe they can't save up $2000 all at once to buy a cheap used car.
It might be a bug in django-social-auth. I've had a couple of people complain about it, but I can't reproduce it even if I create a new GitHub account. I've found bugs in DSA before, such as https://github.com/omab/django-social-auth/pull/697

I'll have to look into it more. Sorry about that. :(
In the UK, we the tax payers subsidise the McD's minimum wage so that their employees can actually live. We pay housing cost subsidies and pay the utility taxes and ... . madness - we subsidise their terrible wages just so we can buy a terrible burger at a silly low price.
> "Sometimes I wonder if we wouldn't be better with real centrally planned drug production"

Or we could simply subsidize the modest overproduction of such critical, low-profit generics, selling or donating any surplus [1] not unlike what we do with food staples. This would encourage additional production, making any drops, for whatever reasons (regulatory, accidental, business-related) less of a systemic threat.

In a world of imperfect solutions, I'll take that over additional regulatory bureaucracy or central planning.

[1] I realize this isn't ideal and 'dumping' the surplus may well do more long-term harm in any communities we might help, short term, via donation. But that can be studied and determined. And, frankly, a robust public health system is important enough that even if we have to incinerate the surplus, subsidized overproduction may well be worth doing.

I pay over $90/mo for electricity. You'd be stunned at what happens when crappy energy efficiency meets Florida summers.
This is very cool. Is the code for it posted anywhere?
I think you answered your own question re: electricity for heating/cooling. The budget also assumes two full time jobs and no food budget.

A similar conclusion struck me when I was taking a linear algebra course in my 1st year. I had a very smart friend, and sometimes I studied with him. He usually studied a lot more than myself, and naturally fared a lot better (and more consistently).

However there were some problems which were very unusual which I would look at, think for just a few seconds, and have a delightful path to the solution -- and often times, many. My friend, otoh, would usually look into the question, think for quite some time, and move on to the more straightforward ones, although with adequate time he would definitively solve it, and with adequate study, he would get consistent, as he did. But at once I discovered his whole process was fundamentally different. He found the solutions thinking algebraically, not geometrically. This algebraic skills allowed him to plow through most problems with speed, but when he needed to think creatively, to have a geometric intuition on something, he was slowed down.

He is a wonderful programmer however, and I'm sure he is "algotihmically creative".

For me this indicates that a lot of science lends itself a lot to have a spatial intuition to be effectively creative. Einstein famously came up with relativity through thought experiments, not algebraic reasoning of the laws of nature. Planck however, with equal notoriety introduced the quanta as an algebraic "trick", and Maxwell formulated an electromagnetic theory of light by manipulating differential equations. Computer science and a fraction of math, lend themselves to algebraic reasoning and I believe what drives those is an algebraic type of creativity, in contrast to say physics, architecture and mechanical engineering -- although I believe we need both types of thinkers everywhere.

It's a funny Yin and Yang aspect of our minds!
Yes it's a beta product, but it's a beta product that costs about 2200 bucks and a day+ of time in order to get to a Glass pickup center.

I just got mine, and I'm 50/50 on keeping it. I don't think anyone is faulting Google for the device, it's just that the value is negligible at its current price point.
I love mono. I think it's a great thing to try and bring .net/C# to more people.

But seriously guys, can we get System.Data.SqlClient to the point that it's production ready? the only thing that's holding us back from rolling mono in production for our entire stack.
They learned as the pitch flowed!
I think that the last thing Google needs to do is to throw more "designers" at it.

Yes, the different reaction of the general US audience depending on the nationality of the targets is quite saddening. It reminds me of TV interviews in Spain after some ETA killing, when a local would cry and scream because the victim was also a Basque, not an outsider, in which case all is cool. Nationalism is akin to racism.

I agree completely with what you say. Unfortunately you're talking about something completely different.

I'm not talking about all the instances of posts that get marked as duplicate, neither about those that are marked as duplicate when they shouldn't.

I am talking about those that should be marked, because for all intents and purposes are identical to a thousand other answers, but unfortunately they don't get treated as such.

The reason? Reputation farming plain and simple. It's not even something that's controversial. It's happening all the time and many people like me, voice their opinions, instead of seeking reputation points. That's all.

I'm not sure, as I don't know IMAP very well. Is there a way that Google can send information about labels via the IMAP protocol without creating a duplicate message for each label? I guess they could add an email header with the labels, but that would modify the actual email.
"Wearables" in general are going to be a much tougher nut to crack than tablets. Glass is, at least, radical enough to stand a chance.

I'd be less sure that a watch is enough of an improvement over taking one's phone out of one's pocket.

Also, unlike tablets, which have the obvious business use case of liberating people from the "sit down with your computer" inhibitor to interpersonal interaction, nobody knows whether or how pervasive use of wearables could improve productivity or interaction in a business setting.
From an engineering standpoint you are correct. From a business standpoint none of these problems have quantifiable numbers attached to them (my lost enthusiasm per fort night?) so they basically don't exist. Ascertaining my opinion on how I believe management is running things will be left as an exercise to the reader :)
seems like so.
Glass is not an augmented reality device.
I don’t know a single home with air conditioning, even in cars/trains it only became popular within the past ten years or so.

As far as I can tell, the attack that killed his son a month later was aimed at killing other members of Al Qaeda: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/world/middleeast/yemeni-se... ("Airstrikes, believed to have been carried out by American drones, killed at least nine people in southern Yemen on Friday, including a senior official of the regional branch of Al Qaeda and an American, the 17-year-old son of a Qaeda official killed by the United States last month, according to the government and local reports on Saturday.").
Insane stuff!
An enlightening response. Thank you.
"There are people who comfort themselves by telling themselves that poor people are only poor because poor people are lazy. Pretty sure someone who works 74 hours a week isn’t lazy."

Agreed. Now, let's stop talking about them for a minute and address the ones that are lazy. The ones that are only ever looking for a handout and specifically not looking for a leg up. I know some of these people. Allow me to paraphrase them: "Why should I do anything if I'm going to get a check from the government anyway? And why should I even think about doing anything else if all they'll do is take my guaranteed money away when I do something else?"

Now, how will we address this segment of society? Because clearly, these are the ones in danger of becoming criminals (of which we have plenty) if they're required to stop suckling.

Also, there are plenty in between. If the only job you're willing to do is assemble burritos for minimum wage for four hours a day, why are you entitled to a "living wage?"

Finally, let's look at the economics. The only way to not have anything resembling a classist system is if every [productive] member of society earned the same wage. But that's not feasible because it removes a tremendous amount of efficiency from the market. All kinds of market indicators are gone. I suspect (economist that I am not) it would lead to near-term economic chaos settling into a completely non-innovative society. Why strive for anything better when we're all "the same?"

Edit: Am I just too ranty? I don't understand the downvotes without replies.
Obama's pretty obviously not steering the ship. He's a salesman for whoever is.

As for motivation, since 9/11 the course has been set to gradually implement a robust domestic counter-insurgence apparatus. So either the state anticipates otherwise unmanageable instability in the face of climate change, de-inustrialization, etc. or undemocratic changes are planned that could invite domestic insurrection.

The US is reportedly making plans for war with China (http://yalejournal.org/2013/06/12/who-authorized-preparation...), so that could be an effort requiring unprecedented austerity/authoritarianism.
I could believe that some people buy into this explanation. However I get the impression the real reason those older systems bother Poettering is that they weren't written by him.

The ticks are so terrible this year in Missouri. It's not clear if we have proper Lyme disease here. They call it "Lyme-like" diseases. It's relatively uncommon, still, I think. Lyme disease hasn't been isolated here in a replicated study.

I sure am glad of this. I'd never go in the woods (brambles) if that were the case.

I'm also glad you can't get any diseases from the chiggers. Damn those chiggers.
