Thanks. I find the need to support my family the reason I must push for a great job. I want to both provide the best I can for them, and also to love what I do, so I still have energy left to invest in them at the end of my day.
ummm ... trust? I didn't find it that difficult. What does Facebook tell us about its service? Reminds me of a perpetrator log, which, I guess it has kind of revealed itself as with revelations that facebook is essentially a mass surveillance dossier system.

But I get your point, it will need some marketing to get people to understand what it is all about. But it's not like we knew what Twitter was at first. Did we?
"Who knew in 1984…that this would be big brother [picture of Steve Jobs with iPhone}...and the zombies would be paying customers [pictures of people with phones, tablets]?"

It might just be me, but it seems as though this comment could easily be taken out of context. It's a metaphor. And the speaker wasn't saying that the government was Big Brother either.
From the item: "The truth is not everyone has your best interests at heart. The truth is that a large number of people would like nothing more than to see you fail...."

Without getting into why, one of the reasons the above is a bit astonishing is that it frequently leads to project failure, and in startups that usually means company failure. You can't depend on simple notions of self-interest even in situations where failure will mean all involved will lose their jobs.

They already know the numbers.
I guess in one line it would boil down to only their (rich) social group knows how to properly estimate, divide the estimates, and compare the results. Or knowing that such comparisons are possible between pretty wide ranging subjects, rather than making decisions by just following the herd. With that inability as a rationalization for why they're poor and we're rich or source of humor. Or something like that.

The early ones were ports, they were recompiled and enhanced with higher resolutions and/or framerate, trophy support, etc... They're titled "HD Collection" or "HD Remastered".

Many of the later ones are actually emulated. I think they're called "PS2 Classics" or some such.
You can create such an environment for yourself, if you're willing to do so. Who says that you HAVE to have a mortgage? The whole notion of "having to own a house" as a means to build wealth seems quite antiquated to me. In many cases it's not that you own the house... it's more like the house owns you (and your actions, mobility, flexibility, etc).
I take issue with #1 - I'd rather not have a website make assumptions about how I want to use it based on the device. A single point of entry for all devices makes for a consistent experience, and good responsive design will allow you to get to where you want to go efficiently.
I've never seen the numbers worked out. Also, you'd certainly need to adjust birthrate globally to keep ahead of Malthusian pressures. I'll remain sceptical until I see an actionable proposal. Have a link?

I this is a really font, and I appreciate the clear set of rules and guides that help establish the coherence of the font. However, I dislike the overall appearance and I think I'll be sticking the the default Sublime font (Menlo) which I have no trouble reading and is more aesthetically pleasing.
Thanks for saying what I've been finding difficult to put into words.
Then the NSA tells you to put backdoors in all that nice crypto you put together, and keep mum about it. If you refuse, it shuts you down, either in court or by force. You think Yahoo execs want to get categorized as "enemy combatants" and go to Gitmo?
Trust? Doesn't seem all that diffcult, especially with some marketing. Are you trying to say that Facebook and Twitter are better names?
It’s not a new logo. It’s not even a different logo: the glyph shapes are exactly the same in both versions, it just has different shading for when it needs to be displayed small.

Apple has been known to try different shading and color for its logo, but that doesn’t mean that whenever they do so, they’ve adopted a new logo.
Oh, that's great to hear. I'm surprised I didn't find that previously. I vaguely remember trying a php-amqplib and having issues with error messages, but your client promises to be strict-compliant so perhaps I was using an ancient version somehow.

For the sole purposes of producing messages, STOMP and a few dozen lines of PHP seems more attractive to me than using the full library (plain text protocol, easy persistent connections, simple retry behaviors, and no surprises). I'll use your library when we add PHP consumers, though, because consumption is harder to get right.

Thanks.
Lack of a bold weight is also making this non-viable.
I'm seeing about 50/50 content of tech postings of "Apple is failing to innovate" and "Apple's latest innovations really suck". I'm not entirely sure I know what they've done to deserve the ire of the tech media lately, but they've certainly done something for all the "Apple can do no right" commentary I've seen lately.

(Not saying all of it is undeserved, but it seems like there's a lot more dog-piling happening than actual considered criticism of the company's direction).

Basically everything beyond Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid is discretionary spending. If you get rid of those, then yes, military spending looks huge as a share of discretionary spending.

There are dozens of sites breaking down the spending (this is just another attempt at visualizing the data). A quick search led me to http://nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-1... where you can find discretionary spending separated out on its own.

Actually, it brought unprecedented power to the workers, balancing the power between employer/employee significantly.

It certainly was a tough period (hardly alone in that respect!), but the romanticised images of starving children chained by ankles in sweltering mines, whereas they had happily capered about their sunny villages all day long prior to the revolution, are way off [0].

Sony should have switched to Android for the PS4 and this $100 console. They could have completely hijacked the Ouya market / the lower cost Android game market. It would have given the PS4 a substantial built-in leg up over the XBox One on launch as well: it'd come out of the gate with a marketplace of tens of thousands of games.

It is distressing. I'm in favor of a living wage for everyone that works or is disabled/retired. What I can't decide on is what to do with those that will choose not to work. What if it was 1% of the population? Or 5%? Or...?
Very nice looking glyphs.

Notes:

* I think "sadipscing" shows a minor kerning issue after the "i"s in the 14pt example image. Or is it the monospace's odd number of pixels issue?

* Similarly the "k"s.

* Maybe you should substitute the python example with a C one with curly brackets and semicolons...

Anyhow, a very good looking font.
At first glance, I really like it. It's very friendly and relaxing.
So the market makes sense to you, but the product is not focused?

What about equity? You should know exactly how much you have, and this should be backed up by documents stating how many shares are outstanding, what options you have, vesting schedule, etc.
So basically since 1976, the US is only on the positive side of the budget for 4 years (1998-2001). For all other (34) years, there has been a deficit. Yicks. If the US was a person, that person would be considered a financial disaster.
Will it come back to bite Yahoo if they are the only ones doing this? I can't see them going alone.
I am not too sure that would work. in my experience having something hanging over your head tends to make you go harder at your startup once you have made the decision to do it. on the other hand, when things are comfortable, you are okay with things not working out. while this might encourage you to try new things you may give it only a half hearted try. thus, the number of successful companies may actually fall.

Is the shading effect that is visible on the glyphs a part of the font or due to some postprocessing done by his font renderer configuration? I think it looks rather bad, but I've always disabled Cleartype et al.

Tits are part of people. I have tits. People have tits and I like people and I like their tits. Without people, there are no tits. How many different ways can I say this? I don't like tits that are disconnected from people. That's disgusting.

If I am staring at a woman's tits - I am certainly giving her whole person my consideration, even though my eyes can only look at one thing at a time. WTF would I do with just a pair of tits?

No, the reason I'm looking is that I probably want more.
Looks pretty good at lower sized fonts, but I regularly work in 24pt font size and it looks terrible at that size. Too bad.
That's an honestly laughable PR measure. It's the equivalent of a robber putting your belongings in a plastic bag before taking them.
You can't turn them off without jailbreaking, then you can download tweaks to turn them off. One I remember from years ago was the 'app blacklist' disabler.
I was out watering my yards the other day because some area didn't get enough water and the grass is yellowing. If only I can set one particular sprinkler to run five minutes longer than the rest of the other sprinklers in the zone, that would save my grass. Then I started to think, why can't we make smart sprinkler heads that give us more precise control of our irrigation, and conserve water at the same time. It's possible with today's tiny and low power chips. I did some digging into this is it's not too complex. Unfortunately I'm not an EE. But if this interest you, I'd be more than happy to go into more detail.
Just because you don't have a JIT doesn't mean it's "completely useless on the modern internet." On the contrary, I rarely (ever?) have run into this as an actual bottleneck.

So really this is, "What iOS can learn from a 2008 Android device"? The author is wrong in his footnote. Android intents are both action and file type based or even wildcard URL based. http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1219228/complete-action-an...
If you read the Spiegel article [1] where this quote comes from do you still think it's just a metaphor? I take the comment as snark, but also a troubling indicator of a depraved culture in some circles of the NSA.

The quote from the alleged NSA document is in fact interesting (ellipsized here):

> Who knew in 1984 ... the zombies would be paying customers

I feel that this misses an important point in the book. I am reminded of this dialog with the prole who rents Winston an apartment (no spoilers about what happens):

> ‘There’s no telescreen!’ he could not help murmuring.

> ‘Ah,’ said the old man, ‘I never had one of those things. Too expensive. And I never seemed to feel the need of it, somehow. ...’

Any time there is some technology facing broad adoption, you can imagine some holdouts saying this. Televisions. Cell phones. Smart phones. "Too expensive. I don't see a need for it." The implication is there was one point in time where the people willingly adopted the means of surveillance. One would expect that it offered them something in return.
Kind of off-topic, but wouldn't it be a nice, if not the best, way to lower the prices of prosthetics to make them usable by non-handicapped people? for instance, Doctor Octopus arms could fit everyone.
That fiction is a bit far-fetched, but something similar and not so monstery-looking could improve everyone's lives. In fact, it could lessen the disability and, ideally, render it non-existent by making everyone equally able.

It's pretty shocking how much more expensive Federal unemployment benefits have been for this most recent recession, assuming that's what's responsible for the massive spike in the Department of Labor's budget.

Using Coast now.. I really want to like it. Trouble is it is slow.. you click a link and sometimes nothing happens.

Also, i like tabs. I find a story on HN and just leave it on a tab for later and open HN in a new tab. Not sure how to do this with coast. Maybe create a bookmark? It is less simple than having tabs.
A while ago (before we found out what the FISA Court is up to), I thought if nothing else at least the Justice system is pretty good in US. But now they're systematically replacing the judges with pro-surveillance state judges [1], too. If this isn't stopped and reversed, I worry for the future of US, and then the world.

You hit the key point of the OP. I view his message isn't that everyone should do it. It's that starting a company has gotten so much easier that everyone serious about it should.

Taking his reasoning a step further... Look what companies like Google and Amazon were able to accomplish starting in tougher times. Now it is much easier to start something new.
From a user perspective, intents are more useful and cover almost everything they're talking about. Most people really don't want to think about the how, they just want to share something to Facebook somehow. Having a standard way to just hook the Facebook app for it is what they really need.

It is a shame that we can't get more app functionality sharing in place, but really I don't know if we necessarily want to bring that much dependency management into the mobile space at large either.
If they mean "stable" the same way everyone else means "stable", that's a crazy schedule, and basically guarantees I can never touch ember.js for any app I ever write.
Well seeing as the current unemployment is well over 5% I'm not sure that's a real issue.
Judging people's "value" according to their wealth is laughable and has a whiff of protestant fundamentalism to it. There are a ton of people with absurd wealth who are in fact costly to the economy (drug kingpins, polluters, embezzlers, corrupt heads of states...).
1) They know their numbers. Not the numbers for other companies.

2) We don't know any of the numbers.

If my apartment was on fire, I'd like to know how many other apartments were burning, and so would my landlord. Yahoo is one apartment on the web, and we are the landlords of our government. Yahoo knows how much of their apartment is on fire, but they know nothing about Google across the hall from them.

I suspect Silicon Valley -- the place -- has already lost.

The cost of living there is so high -- a million dollars for a starter house -- that operating there is unthinkable without big money and big success. And guess who has the biggest money of all? The government. They don't even have to earn it. They can tax it (or print it) to their hearts' content. With a cost of living so high, only big money talks.

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

Last time I was in SV, I was driving around and thinking "wow, this place might well be the world's only six-figure slum." It's a place where earning what would be a fantastic wage in most places will get you something that people in other places would call a "crack shack." With a set-up like that, the golden handcuffs look mighty shiny and appealing. If SV gets too "uppity," they just have to come in and spread some more money around. The price of real estate hyperinflates a little more, and the handcuffs get tightened a couple clicks.

Real estate hyperinflation and debt indenture are such effective traps for controlling a population, it's hard for me to believe they weren't explicitly designed. The real genius of golden handcuffs is that they look like wealth and they make you feel rich. Wow! I'm making so much money! My house is worth so much! But in reality you're an absolute slave to whomever is writing you those big checks. You don't dare deviate even a little, or even say anything out of line, for fear of losing it all. The truly rich and powerful have the freedom to act. If you don't have that, you are poor.

But Silicon Valley is also an idea. You can go there even if you're in Podunkistan, Arkansas. The only way Silicon Valley -- the idea -- can win is if it "goes airborne."
Indexing on JSON columns is key to storing semi-structured data with JSON. It's fairly useless without, for anything but small amounts of data.
> I don't want to start a left vs right debate, but just imagine how much harder this would be if say half of the adult population was employed by the government. That's why the communist countries tended to be some of the most totalitarian and oppressed, and perhaps more importantly - the longest lasting.

That's nonsense. In these countries whether or not you were employed by the government had exactly 0 influence on how dangerous it was for you to speak out against the government.

Meanwhile, in many European countries, 1/3 or more of the population works directly or indirectly for the government, yet you won't find many that are the slightest afraid of speaking out against the government - in fact in many of them you have a steady stream of government employed people who are actively involved in political opposition to whichever party is currently in power.
