This is a good point, but doesn't seem to be like a very big one. (I'd like to be able to turn off my tablet display when I'm not using it.)

It seems to me that Apple's emphasis has been on using one screen well and applications like FCPX that use privileged APIs to use fullscreen well across monitors, but developers who use multiple displays in more complicated ways are pretty much stuck with third party solutions (I use SizeUp, and I used to use Cinch). This doesn't solve the issue you mention, but I'm very happy with it otherwise -- and when Apple incorporates the features of nice third-party utilities into the OS it gets lambasted from the other side.
If you're against "intellectual property" then you shouldn't use that propaganda term. Refer to the specific legal protections at issue, like copyright, patents, or trademarks, because they are all have very different functions and purposes.

It is quite possible to have a decentralized and open system for making proposals. For example, there can be a fee to make a proposal, which is paid back at a multiple of the proposal is approved.
Guys, this is great, thank you for putting your time into it. Any plans on creating courses based on this methodology? I found those on the Khan Academy very interesting but unless you follow the video tutorial, the console is not self explanatory as in your examples.
That's a bit debated. People did report withdrawing their funds, and other people reported bugs, random amounts showing up in accounts, etc. Given SR's immediate demise, I'm more willing to credit the theory that Atlantis got spooked and the site was falling apart when they announced the closure.

Should have been laughed out from the first proposal.

And yet it wasn't. Can certainly make you wonder about the health of the W3C as a whole.
No? It would be inefficient to put a lot of effort and capital into trying to extract useful work from a marginally-above-room-temperature exhaust stream. Something about thermodynamics and low efficiencies at small temperature gradients :P
GDP is only an initial starting point for developing a measure of national welfare. Using GDP in this system might well be better than our current system, and improvements should make it even better.
Even more than that, every person I know who in their 20s and 30s would prefer to work in the city and either do a quick commute in via public transportation or live in the city. No one wants to have to get in a car and drive for 40 minutes. If they do, they justify it due to cost, not actual benefit.

The companies that get the best people are the one's located in downtown. That alone increases productivity.
MySQL was bought in cash by Sun for $1 billion. Of course, Sun collapsed after that, so perhaps you are right about the madness.

I disagree. Even though Linux desktop usage isn't a huge percentage (~1%?), I would consider 1% of millions "many".
We had a similar problem here. I was frustrated when people felt like they had to stay home to get work done. We set aside one of the meeting rooms as a quiet work room (with monitors/keyboards/mice). Gives another option for getting away from the noise to focus but you are still close enough for collaboration when you want/need it.
Nobody sure what new start-up actually does
That explains why most startups suck.
I was just going to quote the same paragraph - the Silk Road was a distribution center of drugs and mayhem. It's an oxymoron to say that people want to do business anonymously. The majority of legal businesses want to be well known and well thought of but with those rare few exceptions who do operate anonymously they have corporate identities for that.
The difficulty is that data centers don't generate "high grade heat" ie, they don't actually run very hot. While it might dissipate a lot of heat, the temperature is quite low (they claim their data center only run at ~30C). As a result, their 'waste' heat stream will never be above ~30C if they don't have anything special going on. There aren't a lot of useful things you can do with that type of heat. Even if they managed to dump it all into water and them pipe it over to surrounding housing, it's still not -that- useful, and likely not worth the cost/energy of setting up the system.

While they could also conceivably run liquid cooling to -all- of their high temperature components (CPUs and PSUs probably) to get a higher grade waste heat stream, once again, its likely not worth the energy/money to set up that system.

This is why most cogeneration or waste heat schemes are on industrial processes - their "waste" heat is pumping out at above boiling at a minimum, and far more useful.
To be fair to the Silk Road, they shut down arms-trading after a while (apparently getting guns offline is way too easy and convenient to make it worthwhile), and the murder-for-hire was against the official rules which were indeed enforced (you couldn't go on SR and find hitman listings) - DPR did that on his own, and as the first plot indicates, didn't even need the SR infrastructure to do it. (He communicated mostly over TorChat, according to the indictment, and paid via a wire transfer.)
OK, I'll humor you: So how would you go about getting people to install hydrogen fuel cells if subsidies and tax breaks are off the table?

The main issue here is that solar panels are not yet cost effective (or energy neutral) -- not whether or not we believe in the technology. To make progress you need to get the ball rolling by creating a market so that you can fund development and gather practical experience. So the question remains: what mechanism is the appropriate mechanism for stimulating the necessary development?

Las Vegas seems like a challenging environment to make it work, but I think he's definitely on to something. I think this is why the technology scene in California pivoted to San Francisco. It's also what makes NYC promising. Seems most people would prefer to work in am urban core rather than in an office park.

I think it would be interesting to see corporate campuses follow dense residential trends and create multi-use buildings with the ground floor dedicated to publicly accessible restaurants, retail, etc. That would even help fund the project.
Yesterday I was just talking to some folks about how they lock on the DATABASE for a transaction. Yey.
A futarchy could approve a private law anarchy of the sort that Friedman suggests, if market speculators thought it would do better to achieve national welfare as voters have defined it.
Re 17:

It's nice to know where you are with people. If we're not really equals, please don't treat me as if we are. If the final decision is yours, and you only allow a certain measure of disagreement, please make that clear.

I'll be more likely to give feedback and ideas if I know where the lines are, and don't have to worry about offending someone who's half my friends and half my boss by stepping over something I've not been adequately warned about. ^_^

Geothermal heat pumps make use of marginal differences in temperature to provide useful heating and cooling.

If you have room temperature exhaust air that's useful for at least keeping rooms at room temperature. But at the moment it's just being vented.
I don't think MongoDB should be replacing systems, it should rather be used as a data store for things that otherwise wouldn't be stored because of the high throughput needs, but aren't necessarily critical data.
I have been using MongoDB every once in a while and I think it is great. The C# driver has linq support which increases productivity to the roof. However, the feature I miss the most while using MongoDB is multi document transaction support. Their site provides a workaround[1] that from my point of view is not worth implementing. Instead I prefer to switch back to traditional SQL databases in those situations.

I'm curious to know: How did you ramp up your marketing so fast to get employers and developers to the site on short notice?

(Other than posting to HN, of course!)
I'd say that the moment you start doing time keeping is the moment the startup culture days are over. It's like a mental switch for everybody in the company. Everybody feels it and there's simply no going back.

It's like puberty, painful, but inevitable, and leads to more maturity later.
> Any word on whether we can expect customers and sellers to be hunted down?

So far the known tally, from reading the forums & Reddit, is: a SR employee (arrested, unknown), DPR (arrested, charged), a UK vendor (arrested, probably won't be charged), and a WA vendor (arrested, charged). If anyone knows of other arrests/charges/convictions, please tell me. I've been trying to maintain a complete list at http://www.gwern.net/Silk%20Road#safe
>Hey, just outsource that onerous coding task to some monkey, it's not important.

I don't think that's a fair characterization of the author's advice about outsourcing, which I think is pretty clearly a relatively smart way to do outsourcing. They are not saying to outsource all of your coding, but to pick well-encapsulated units with a clear spec, and outsource those.

That makes sense, because doing it that way means that you can completely tear out that component and rewrite it later if needed.
A+ for effort.
And in addition to the fact that they're 4 judges out of 9,800 total state and federal judges (which federal judges are also regionally allocated so as not to have Connecticut judges hearing Alaskan controversies), those four are extremely limited in which cases they can hear.

It's impossible to look at the US judicial system and come away with the conclusion that it heedless of the concerns of Floridians hearing Alaskan cases. The US system is almost literally the opposite of that.
Sounds like she should write a blog post on the issue - it will probably be a very interesting read (totally serious here).

Yes and No. Yes they originally wanted a so called pen register.I should have been clearer with that. This request was without a warrant. Lavabit refused.

Then the fed's got an order from a Judge for it. Lavabit still refused.

Finally, the Feds, got a court order to the keys to the kingdom so to speak. At this point Lavabit is willing to implement a pen register. The fed's don't trust them to do it, so they stick with the final order. Lavabit shuts down.
But if there is no reason to think that problem is worse in this proposal, and the info aggregation problem would get better, you might still want to support this proposal.

Statistics about means can also be included in welfare measures.
See, I don't know ... DPR was definitely a big fish, but only in a certain context. He obviously had the technical chops (and moral compass) to set things up the way he did, but at the end of the day, all he did was facilitate business for other (IMO) much bigger fish.

I'm not in any way justifying his actions or anything like that. But I too was surprised that they just shut it down instead of just assuming control and going after what could have turned out to be cartels (assuming it wasn't just small time growers, etc.).
True, but I do wonder about the future of that. It's a licensed Google product, and I'm sure Google Services would have little trouble detecting unlicensed devices.
I actually knew that when I wrote that, somebody was gonna call me on it.
"the Silk Road was a distribution center of drugs"

You say this as though there is something immoral about selling drugs. There has never been a strong moral argument for drug prohibition, and in fact many "illegal" drugs (many that were sold on SR) are legal by prescription (cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates, etc.). Drug prohibition is and has always been a combination of racism and corporate profits.
The Economist - Twitter's IPO: #openingthekimono
In the short term it's probably inversely proportional: more 'complaints' means more people on the platform (or at least experimenting with the platform). In the long term we're all dead anyway.
I generally agree, but recent planning movements have managed to produce suburban areas with centralized work/shop centers for the community giving lots of options for the suburban worker.

Something I've noticed working in a couple of city environments is that most of the variety of restaurants in the area I don't take advantage of anyway since their geared towards dinner patrons and/or are overpriced for the kind of quick lunch I want during the work day. So I usually end up boiling down an urban work area to a half dozen places to eat.

A suburb area I worked in before had twice that many with good lunch options within a 5 minute walk. A couple nearby office campuses require a short drive, but at least 2 dozen good lunch places to eat within a 5-10 minute drive.
But my point is they can already do this. They don't need IE or Firefox to change anything because IE and Firefox already support cross-domain fonts.

"P.S. federal agents, I don't use recreational drugs (anymore), I'm simply a longtime occasional reader of the SR forum... so please don't come kicking down my door."

Saying this will not make a difference. Given the general lack of consequences when paramilitary raids occur against innocent people, and the strong financial incentives for attacking people and seizing their property, you would not be safe even if you had never been near illegal drugs in your entire life.

Making backups as such is legal under general global copyright laws. In USA however, if a content seller makes it very difficult to make a backup, then distributing devices to circumvent that may be illegal under DMCA.
A few people are talking about "geoengineering" approaches, e.g. pumping sulphur dioxide into the upper atmosphere to cause a cooling effect. But such ideas are pretty fringe, I suspect because a) they sound crazy b) that kind of intervention risks serious unexpected consequences.
I would say, based on your follow-up, that I understood your story quite well.

Just because someone gives you pocket change for helping them out doesn't mean they put that particular monetary value on your help, it could be just what they had on hand. As in, "here's a little more than just my thanks". You're the one getting needlessly offended. You could always turn down the offer, which you shouldn't because it could be considered offensive to refuse. Out of all the options you have in that case, you choose to be offended. That makes you a bad neighbor.

I fail to see how one can expect any form of compensation whatsoever from Yahoo when none was offered in the first place. Just because some places offer bounties doesn't automatically mean everyone does. If you expect compensation when none was offered, then it's your problem with being offended when not getting anything.
Looks like it couldn't.
Fantastic, thank you. This is the approach I'll follow, and that looks very well structured.
Don't even say "thanks" when you save them 10000€, when nobody asked me to do anything...

They're removing dependency on AuFS because it's not enterprisey enough, but if compared to Docker (which, in my personal opinion, is very immature and lacks almost everything you'd expect from the container virtualization management tool except for the basic features, although there are, indeed, some workarounds for some cases) AuFS is granddad-level mature.
A month ago I was contacted by a recruiter about some engineering opportunity. I was surprised to know that MongoDB gives me the feeling of Tech company like G or FB. I always thought of MongoDB as kind of an open source product. I started to learn how it operate as a business. I think this is a sign that enterprise-targeted business are rising, and there will be more and more of this kind of start ups in the future.

I'm the original voice of Apple's Siri
You have a point. Maybe it's not quite fair if you just take the paragraph about outsourcing, but it all slides into place if you look at the entire article. Of course, having clearly-defined components is a good idea, and maybe I am somewhat weary from experience with these people. But the overall impression this article leaves just conjures these images up for me.
I don't think Google would have any reason to prevent the services from running on a random device, would they? Seems like the more endpoints running their applications, the more data they collect and the more ads they can serve.
I works great when you have this "thinking in your sleep and wake up even more tired" syndrome.

Melatonin related supplemements helps you relax quickly and really sleep deep.
I personally found that taking 1/3 of recommended dose works perfectly.
Taking full doze making me wake up in such a limb state - that it takes me literally one hour for muscles to get back into their ability to move the body.

Another thing is that I found that taking it for a week or two (no more) is optimal. Few cycles of deep, relaxed sleep are enough for body/mind to get into relatively better balance than before.

Adding regular physical exercise to the mix helps to reignite the whole system back.
I have no idea naturally. Are you feeling like San Francisco got a raw deal out of creating all that wealth (post IPO) in their City?

Are You Ready For The Entrepreneur Lifestyle Move?
Haven't read the article yet, but Melatonin does wonders for my sleep habits. Without it, it seems like my body really wants to function on a day that's 26 or so hours long. That tends to put me in a constant cycle of being not tired enough to go to sleep yet, falling asleep too late, not having enough sleep and being tired all day, then going to sleep the next night too early and starting over again the next day. Melatonin has made it much easier to get about the same amount of sleep every night.
No, I prefer to keep DRM out of HTML5 and not make the open web rely on proprietary binary blobs making it effectively impossible to fully support by free software.

My point is that adding DRM to Flash won't make DRM content (e.g., Netflix) available on Linux and in fact will make it harder for Linux to access web content.

So you have completely misunderstood me.
Did Shutting Down Silk Road Make the World a More Dangerous Place?
Working in the risk analytics space, "Big Data" seems to be marketing speak for "you can dump all sorts of loosely structured data into this big bucket and our tools will help you find meaningful trends in it." I've yet to see an installation approaching anything near 300GB, so I think of big data as the new sexier label to put on ad hoc data mining applications.

Melatonin supplements have helped me numerous times to get to sleep after tossing and turning in my bed. It is something that I've taken as needed and as a nightly supplement. The biggest drawback to melatonin supplements is that you can sometimes wake up slightly groggy the next morning. The stuff is dirt cheap and commonly available. If you haven't tried it, this could be the sleeper supplement your missing.
