> "Integer" is neither pompous nor technical-sounding.

I didn't say that "integer", standing on its own, is either pompous or technical sounding.

My criticism was that, as written, the sentence is actually completely meaningless ("X is at least an integer multiple of Y", where X and Y are from context real-valued measures, means, after all, doesn't actually provide any bound, lower or upper, on X), and that for any conceivable meaning that could have been intended, and that, given the word choice and the way the general structure was overly convoluted for any of the conceivable meanings intended, appeared to be a pompous attempt to use technical-sounding terminology rather than simple direct statements that would clearly communicate the intended meaning.

I notice that you still don't say what it is you actually meant by the completely meaningless phrase you used.
Unfortunate that they don't mention licensing at all. (EDIT: Whoops, I'm completely wrong. Sorry. Move along, nothing to see here.) Since they use Git submodules, some licensing is inherited from packages like Command-T and vim-fugitive... but they wrote code themselves as well, so there's also that.
While its true the official build system is slowly lurching its way over to gradle, this is nothing like what the author is experiencing with Symfony. Android + ant is still fully functionally and has tons of documentation and community info. Switching from ant builds to gradle is not difficult and doesn't impact app development, Eclipse/Intellij/Android Studio all can build and work with projects without gradle.
I'm not an expert in copyright law by any means. I only recall the story I heard when the man who put the copyright information on the paper released a book a couple of years ago. I'm forgetting his name at the moment.
The wording is probably influenced by the title of the popular book "More Guns, Less Crime".
With the recent revelations that private internet companies (ISPs) are colluding with the NSA, I very much doubt the security of certificates issued by a "certificate authority". I really like the idea of Secure Remote Password (SRP) which uses a Diffie–Hellman-like key exchange instead of relying on third party certificates. The main difficulties I see to SRP adoption are: 1) Not all browsers natively support SRP, though this is changing. You therefore need a good javascript library for interfacing with the server. This of course leads to 2) No trustworthy javascript crypto library exists with the possible exception of the incomplete SJCL. The biggest problem current JS libraries have is that of 3) generating random numbers. Because there is no cryptographically secure rand() javascript implementation, the solution I've seen is to use mouse movement or other user input to generate random numbers. The problem with this is that it takes ~30 seconds of random movement from the user to "seed" the generator! One interesting method I've thought about is to use http://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/ to retrieve random numbers, but this just leads back to depending on a third party for secure communications. I think an efficient, cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator is the biggest deficit to js-based crypto tools.

I'm not sure about OS X - I use the Xamarin provided builds for that. But I'll post our build script for Linux up soon.
Very fine point. I don't know that I've ever looked at data that represented crime in "a given city" and "surrounding areas".

And we never would have gotten here without all the love and support from our HN brethren!

Seriously though, just getting to this point has been a crazy trip, and seriously exhausting. And this is only a small milestone on the way to getting this thing off the ground. But I do appreciate all the advice and wisdom and what-not that I've gleaned from all the HN contributors over the past months and years.

Wish us luck, it's a long journey ahead, still...

This is a really interesting idea. iOS and submitting to the app store has always seemed high friction task. This takes reduces both of them by having a fully baked app that I can just modify.

The promise of shipping code to the app store is a bit more tenuous as we have to bank on the developers packaging it up and sending it up to the app store.
This is one of the most widely circulated speeches on the internet. If you Google "I Have A Dream Speech", you'll get the pdf, origial text and full video.

Big fan of Draft (and Nate). It's got the version control part down, and I think it works well for gathering feedback on blog posts and other short form content, but it isn't designed for longer form content as far as I can tell. It's also missing the community aspect that GitHub has, which is huge, as well as features that would make writing an ebook or textbook feasible. Definitely a great tool though.
It does[1], but it's not necessarily preferred. The whole point of Typed Racket is that you can write your program in (untyped) Racket originally (maybe starting out as a small script), and then add types if you need your program to be more robust. Since typed and untyped modules interoperate smoothly, you choose whatever combination works for your project.

That said, some libraries start out typed too (e.g., the Racket math library[2]) and do benefit from type-driven optimizations and type-checking.

Any time I think about loyalty to organisations or countries I am reminded of what E.M. Forster wrote in his essay "What I believe" in 1938:

I hate the idea of causes, and if I had to choose between betraying
my country and betraying my friend I hope I should have the
guts to betray my country. Such a choice may scandalize the
modern reader, and he may stretch out his patriotic hand to the
telephone at once and ring up the police. It would not have
shocked Dante, though. Dante places Brutus and Cassius in the
lowest circle of Hell because they had chosen to betray their
friend Julius Caesar rather than their country Rome.

[NB It is also worth noting that Forster was an associate of the members of the infamous Soviet spy ring started at Cambridge - although this wouldn't become public until a long time after this essay was written.]
If Wal-Mart raised their wages to CostCo levels, it wouldn't be the current Wal-Mart employees who benefit. Wal-Mart would replace their old workers with new workers, and start competing with CostCo for those higher wage workers.
I will state my position unlike those afraid to speak so they can have deal-flow or perhaps enter YC.

I do not doubt that there may be correlation between people who have performed poorly in YC and "very strong accents", it does not mean causation. Such a statement from someone whom people hang to his every-word should not be put out without clarification.

The defense of "accents so strong you cannot understand" holds no water. It was an after thought. What about people that are dumb and cannot speak at all? Nothing could have stopped him from saying "people who do not communicate well make bad CEOs. As an example, thick accents, stammering, unclear minds can be the cause.

Instead of clarifying the context which I assume to be "With a strong accent you will find it to raise money on demo day which is very important" or expanding it, Paul Graham goes "Don't say things people want to misunderstand"

It is insulting at best. Heaping the blame/responsibility of understanding on the readier/listener. How ironic considering the topic.

I hope his position does not lead to default bias in YC companies. "He has a strong accent, I cannot ask him to be my co founder". Or "His strong accent means he will be a bad CEO so why employ him at all"

This tread will soon disappear. But I will end with a Martin Luther King quote from the I have a dream speech 5o years ago yesterday. "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter"
thankfully symfony 2.3 is LTS now.

the thing about frameworks is that you don't get the goodies unless if you upgrade, but you wouldn't get the goodies anyhow unless if you wrote it yourself.

It's a tradeoff, but usually a worthy one.
This is cool but it seems silly to have the default install method to be using "rake", I love vim but keep Ruby off most of my systems, what happened to good ol' fashion shell scripts.

I have no experience with Hollywood but heres some general advise on switching industries:

1) Build a portfolio before you look for a job (film shorts starring you with your friends before moving).

2) Engage with the industry as much as possible before moving, read blogs, follow industry folks on twitter, etc.

3) Plan excessively. Pick a few areas you could feasibly live in in LA. Try to line up roommates. Start tracking interviews you would go to now so you know how to find them. Maybe check into who they end up casting so you can get a better sense of what the ads are looking for.

Benefits of this approach include: having provable experience, familiarizing yourself with the industry, possibly having a network to tap, at least knowing some people in town.

Enjoy LA.
The ease of returns in the retail world moves in waves. One store will make it easy, then all stores will make it easy, and then the stores will get swamped by the scammers who return goods they bought at other stores or goods they used and now are trying to return, and then retail stores will move against easy returns.
I listen to a lot of entrepreneurial podcasts, mostly focused on bootstrapping, with an emphasis on SaaS products. On these shows, the entrepreneur is king. They often emphasize outsourcing to VAs, which makes sense. However, I see some of them with an attitude that technical skills are of this same value: something you just buy when you need it, as cheap as possible. Yesterday I think it was the Smart Passive Income podcast I was listening to where they (Pat had a guest) encouraged going to vWorker (yes, I know it's been acquired) if you need a developer to implement something.

Part of me was angry; the other part of me realized the truth of what they were saying. On one hand, some companies require their technology to be a competitive advantage. At a company like Apple, this isn't the case. The tech in their products is actually pretty good, but that's not what sells the products. Yes, they'll mention processor speeds etc at WWDC to thunderous applause, but then you'll never hear those things mentioned in the marketing. Apple has always been about vision, beauty, and simplicity. During Jobs's hiatus, they went down the multiple configurations and flexibility route; Jobs revamped their line and simplified it when he returned. The tech facilitates, doesn't lead.
I've seen and read the entire speech dozens of times: In school, I distinctly remember being given the entire speech transcription and talking about it as a class on more than one occasion. In elementary school, we would have an actor come on our "morning announcements" and re-enact the speech each year. One teacher showed it to us on YouTube in it's entirety.

Is my experience really that unusual?

I can think of one situation where the text is counterproductive, for me at least. Where I live, the direction of oncoming traffic is written on the road for pedestrians. There's also an arrow.[1]

The problem is that once I'm halfway across the road I can't help but read the upside down text in front of me, which is telling me to look in exactly the wrong direction. Clearly I already know which way the traffic is coming from, but it's not helpful to see an arrow pointing left and reading "look right".

I'm not sure how to engage with the idea that SRP is a viable replacement for certificate authentication; it only works with the client and server have a pre-shared key.

I very much do not trust certificate authorities, but observe that you don't have to trust certificate authorities to make the security architecture of TLS work. Already, CA compromises have a minimized impact on properties like Google Mail, whose certificates are pinned in Chrome and Firefox. Soon, all properties will get the same privilege, when we adopt schemes like TACK that allow dynamic certificate pinning.

As soon as a critical mass of browsers support dynamic pinning, it will become drastically less profitable to target CAs, because attempts to present forged certificates to Internet users en masse will quickly be detected.

I always wonder when I see things like this -- are there actually people who will work for free just to apply for a job?

I do not mean this as snark. And I certainly would be open to the idea of a trial period or working on an in house project after the interview. But to ask someone to put in hours just for the possibility of an interview seems like a very asymmetric request. Am I off base here?

EDIT: It's probably worth noting that I work more on the software side than the design side.

For what it's worth, when MLK noticed he was failing to engage the audience, he went off-script and improvised a large portion of the speech.
I am trying to do the same. I never even thought about sharing this concept till I could launch. I know for sure this a great area to work on and it will make a huge impact for collaborative story telling.
Is Silex too heavy or too light for your usage?
Best Practices for Big Data Goverance
There is a point to be made about learning how to use a framework up to the point where you're not relying too heavily on it.

I use Yii, for example, and pretty much only utilize permissions filtering, routing, view management, and AR. The form, theme, and other niche tools are all unused.

This way, when upgrades come along I only really need to be aware of controller files, model files, and view files (all php template and raw html, no helpers). Models are auto generated off the schema, so those are a one click fix on a new base.
So you write all that functionality that comes with the framework yourself, and then what? It doesn't need improvement? It doesn't need updating to remain compatible with the ever changing technology around it?

As far as I'm concerned, you're digging a hole either way, it's just the shape of the hole that changes.

The bottom line is that there is too much code to maintain (or migrate, or rewrite, depending on the shape of your hole) and never enough resources/people/budget/time to do it.

Everything is a huge tradeoff.
I was looking for something like this. I'm planning to write an epic sci-fi novel and make it available under some open license (Creative Commons BY-SA probably). Since I'm not a native English speaker, I'm hoping those who are would jump in and help me perfect the text.

My final hope is to see a Hollywood movie made out of it one day, because many recent SF movies lack good story.

My other idea is to make the story branch into different directions. I would write the main storyline, but another writer could come and fork it at some point. The reader would be left with a choice at some point: would you like this character to take that decision or the other - and after choosing, the reader could read the forked variant.

This is the first time I'm publicly writing about this idea. I'm still undecided what technology to use to create it.

> Is a government granted monopoly "property?"

Is a car red? Some cars are red, some aren't. Some red things are cars, some aren't.

Government-granted monopolies can create property rights, sure. Other property rights (even intangible property rights) exist that are neither government-granted nor monopolies - obvious example, a debt. And a government can grant a monopoly without creating a property right, e.g. by choosing to award all its rail contracts to a single company.

That is some amazingly sloppy research work on his part, and he just seems to have an axe to grind, so he is okay with the sloppiness. The geocentric model is due to Ptolemy and Aristotle, Greek philosopher/scientists pre-dating Christianity by centuries who were both probably almost completely unaware of the Jews. Copernicus, author of the heleocentic model, was a Roman Catholic and Pope Clement VII found the theory interesting [1]. Galileo, creator of the telescope, was also a Roman Catholic, was also a personal friend of the Pope Urban VIII, the pope at the time of his trial by the Inquisition [2]. Pope Urban VIII supported the heliocentric model, the trial was related to other issues. Galileo's favorite daughter was a cloistered nun, and we have their letters still [3].
