As far as path length is concerned it is my experience that HE.net has better peering agreements and faster interconnections between routers than TWC. I live in Syracuse, NY and regardless of destination all of my traffic is routed over TWC's network until it reaches Chicago. Upon reaching TWC's infrastructure in Chicago my traffic can be handed off to Cogent, Level3, Telia, etc or continue on TW's network. Or as luck would have it can be handed off to the HE POP in the same data center as the first hop in Chicago. Traffic that goes through the HE node has lower latencies and higher overall throughput. This is not just a general impression or anecdotal wget -4/-6 benchmarks. I have a local stratum one ntp server (GPS+PPS) for stability/robustness (and because I was interested in the overhead of the tunnel) the machine is configured to query a number of dual homed S1 ntp servers. The ipv6 associations consistently have lower delay and jitter statistics than their ipv4 counterparts.

I am not a teredo expert but I thought teredo used relays for some portion of traffic?

The second bit has nothing to do with efficiency and its worth pointing out that HE's tunnel broker service is not motivated by altruism.

Are you in tech? If so and you don't mind me asking, where does someone who's in tech, from the Bay Area, end up on the East Coast?
Yay, oversimplification.
Has the number of tiny trivial startups increased lately? Judging from demo days, I would say yes. The startup is the the new garage band. If you like what you hear, we're selling CDs after the show.
Awesome! I hadn't seen this.

What's the alternative? Racial determinism? I can accept that there were many possible outcomes of different groups of humans and way they formed civilizations, and that which one happened was determined by dumb luck - but the environment that people happen to be born in is a part of that dumb luck.

That abstract is completely empty - and I'm paywalled away from the paper.

If the environment isn't responsible at all, you have to be saying that its entirely something from within people that determines their social structure and achievements. No?
I don't think your numbers will work out. It is going to be very difficult to raise $5M on AL. Here is an example of someone who raised $250K. He needed 35 backers[1]. This is during the heady starting days. At an average investment of $10K to $20K you will need 500 investors to get to $5M. How will this work with so many investors? My guess is you will get to $1Million, tops and stop. I doubt you can show market fit with $1Million.

This problem was fixed yesterday with the site. Please try the link again. We're in a pre-startup phase and that was the most traffic we had. However, we were able to fix these issues within an hour of identifying each root cause (the different metadata on the fund and the pledging issue). Details of the problems can be found here: jbalfantz.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/what-happens-when-you-break-your-sites-daily-usage-record-by-10x/ I hope that anyone interested in opening up the curtain in front of TrueCrypt will visit the site again - I offer my apologies to everyone who had a lousy experience.
Because cities are where success is. People who are already rich like living in the countryside. People who would like to become rich need to live in cities.

Huh? In the US, median rural income was $40,135, compared to $51,522 in metropolitan counties. [1]

Things that are for sale, are generally for sale in cities. Want to buy something? Your best bet is a city.

Please tell me how long the drive from SF to the nearest Walmart is.

Cities aggregate enough people that you won't be the only person like you.

This is a very good point. Lots of interest-based communities form in cities. In suburbs, there would not be a sufficient "critical mass" for this kind of community to exist. It drives business too - there are, for example, restaurants in cities serving niche foods. They would never have a large enough customer based outside of a highly-concentrated urban area.

In the context of this shift of relevance, I wonder what the Los Angeles region represents?

I'm not completely familiar with it's characterization, but it seems like uniquely 'urban suburban' in a way, no?

If that's true, I wonder what that uniquely middle-of-the-road quality gives it, in the context of the shifting relevance.
Aggregators are parasitic business models. Look what Indeed.com did to Monster, Google did to news sites etc.
First, kudos on your dedication to learning the process. I still remember the first time someone showed me a mature development process.

1. When someone creates an account how do I keep track of all of that information? Obviously it goes in to a database but is there a program that allows me to access that information. Should I hook it up with something like mailchimp?

a.) Yes, the accounts/users information will be stored in a database.
b.) You should have an Admin UI to view/edit the accounts information.
c.) Passwords should be encrypted.
d.) onCreate() of an account you can have an email notification sent to you. This is optional.

2. Should I use github and Heroku?

a.) Yes, use GitHub or one of the SVN hosts to store the code. Emailing a zip file is way to difficult to manage.

b.) Hosting: Heroku is an option. I've never used them, but you can pick any host that works for you. I'm going to guess that installing/configuration servers is not your thing, so a full stack solution may be ideal in your sitution.

3. I want to add in sharing (Facebook, Twitter, email). Is this hard? Should I build this in later?

a.) Depends on the platform, but I think most have multiple libraries for calling the various social media APIs.
This has been fixed. Please check the link again.

We recently switched over from Paypal to Stripe, due to Paypal's increasingly destructive behavior wrt integrating into a website. Thanks for pointing out the Paypal text, I was able to fix that this morning. Also, we added SSL this morning. There's an insecure image on the page right now giving Chrome browsers a problem but we're addressing that atm. egsec, I'd like you to come give the site another try. If not, please contact me on twitter - @joebalfantz - and we can discuss other, and potentially more transparent, means of pledging.
That does make sense. The thing is, that 'minimal acceptable treatment' for all applicants for an internship, which could be in the thousands, is much more costly than for the 20-50 applicants for a more senior position.

When I post jobs, I try to reply to all moderately qualified applicants. And sometimes I'll get an applicant with no industry experience or education who applies to a senior dev spot. Should I spend the time to write a detailed reply to someone who is entirely unqualified and clearly just sent their résumé indiscriminately to my ads (sometimes more than once)? I don't feel obliged to respond to people that are clearly wasting everyone's time.

This is not the case here, and in a perfect world every applicant is flown in, wined and dined, and given a full battery of interviews - but that isn't realistic. Somewhere between an automated response and the wine and dine is the appropriate response. A respectful rejection for two candidates is a small investment, but for thousands it may be unfair to expect.

If you want an example of this, send a wedding invitation to the president. You'll get a reply saying he can't attend and wishes you the best, and it's signed (not by his hand). I'm sure he'd love to give every American the decency of a handwritten and personalized response ("Sorry, in London that day"), but for an American citizen to expect that reply is not realistic.
My girlfriend and I recently had to decide between living in the suburbs (Peninsula) and SF city. The premium for living in a comparable 1br apartment was close to $2k/mo. The suburbs offered a door-to-door 40 minute via public transit (from Millbrae). Driving would be 20-25 minutes during off-peak hours. But obviously some people decide to live in the city. Can you tell me what I'm missing?
It's not the same thing. Labs is part of the greater Pivotal umbrella which includes SpringSource, Cloud Foundry and others.

There is no Cloud Application Platform Group at Pivotal Labs. This is also part of the greater Pivotal umbrella. Rob oversees that group and Pivotal Labs, which he founded.

I'll admit that we do sometimes colloquially refer to Labs as just "Pivotal," but that's not what the name Pivotal is referring to in what you're quoting. It's referring specifically to the company named Pivotal (http://gopivotal.com/)
Yep, I'm even a startup founder (see my profile for more) and I live in Philly.

I went to college on the East Coast, and found that I just generally liked being on the East Coast more. I like the cities on the East Coast much more than SF. While I do miss some of the outdoor opportunities nearby, that's not really what I'm optimizing for at this point in my life. Mostly, I love being able to live in a hip, walkable and affordable neighborhood and not breaking the bank.

I also don't put that much credence in the theory that you have to be in the Bay Area (or anywhere in particular) to build a successful startup.
My impression is that cities are chaotic, unpredictable, and fast-paced, while suburbs are designed to be predictable and to feel safe.

Working in a startup is also chaotic, unpredictable, and fast-paced, so it seems natural that people drawn to startups would also be drawn to cities.
If by "lack of", you mean "4 choices":
DirectByteBuffers (Azul/IBM/OpenJDK/Oracle etc)
Packed Objects (IBM)
Real-time Java (Azul/IBM)
Unsafe (Azul/Oracle/IBM/OpenJDK etc)
Makes sense, lots of companies and founders are based in the city.
I'd like to know who these people are that wrote the blurbs about the book. If you just read the blurbs, you would expect the book to contain the answers to the great questions of life.
Even better, that's not just the equivalent but they actually do fly around the world - ok, not two straight flights around the world, but from the Arctic to Antarctica and back!
Since most startups fail wouldn't this make the parent's comment true?
True, it wouldn't be something that folks would work on for a sunday and make a pull request, but there's a ton of really important, open source software that the world relies on. Pull requests would have to be heavily vetted against complex tests and audits, I suppose, but it seems like a way to get a lot more muscle on the problem. Or maybe muscle isn't the problem? I guess I'm having a hard time understanding what the problem is...
I don't think he's arguing that "http://example.com:80" and "http://example.com" should have different representations: I (and I think he) agrees they should, but that the representation should be "example.com:80", in both cases. I'm not so sure about host, but having port sometimes be "" seems like it could catch people off guard. For host, you now need to watch out for the cases where the port is/isn't present. For port, when it's "".

To me, it's like the type of the variable. The variable "port" should contain the port, not (port|"").
Some people just want to be in the middle of the action. They just walk around SF and decide that they have to live there.

I worked for three years at Stanford. Once, after I'd been living in Menlo Park for about a year, I flew back into SFO from a business trip, and took the train away from all the skyscrapers and nightlife and excitement -- for me, this was the wrong direction.

I found an apartment the city, started taking the train down, and didn't look back.
> plaster nationalist labels all over it and employ nationalist propaganda.

That's what you did. He just said '100%-USA product'.

> Those are just weak excuses for nationalism.

How so? Nationalism and producing a product within in a certain region/state/country is not the same, no matter how much you want it to be.

> Also, more often than not anti-globalization is just disguised nationalism.

Not where I live (Germany).

> Yes, globalization has serious downsides – but only because it happens with nations still existing.

No, there are many versatile reasons why globalization has downsides (and upsides), I'm sure you can come up with one or two more if you just wanted to. But it seems that all you care about is nationalism.
haha. That's a good one.
This is because InnoDB actually stores the data via the primary key index. I'm fairly certain this is the only way they could do it (sanely).

As a side note, because of this, secondary indices just have a pointer to a PK. So when looking up by a secondary index, it has to traverse two trees.

It's impossible to express or study something that is ineffable. It's like extrapolating an underlying mechanism to quantum physics. You might get a model. Your model might be consistent, but the model is never guaranteed to be true or be anything better than lucky.

Study some Daoism, Socrates, decideability, and other such intellectual resources regarding perception, conditional existence, and the possibility of solutions.

I get a high state of spirit from attacking whatever is in front of me. My progress begets progress. If I don't have progress, I start. Convolution of the topic of motivation is basically procrastination unless what you're doing is not leading you even on a meandering path to your goal, in which case you need more goals and to be involved in activities with more potential. I work on FOSS, maintain and develop FOSS, help users with the FOSS I work on, and there's no doubt that it pays off, monetarily and in terms of potential. Therefore, I am never in contact with this problem. I've worked dead-end jobs to get into financial and skill position to work high-potential jobs. Any time I'm not in such a position, I seek ways to get into such a position. The problem of motivation is rhetorical. Expecting an answer might give you one, but the existence of a problem or a solution to something that is axiomatic is a dead-end unless you get lucky and something totally outside your perception leads you to believe that you have a solution and a problem and that the two together have given you motivation.

I felt lied to because he cites facts that aren't true, uses questionable sources, and draws conclusions more based on gut feeling and speculation than hard science. He does all this while presenting it as science. The book is sold as non-fiction after all. I got caught up in the hype and naively assumed he must know what he's talking about, but clearly there are issues with his methods.

I doubt it's his biggest gripe(since one can always find something else to complain about on the internet), but it may be the most prominent gripe, since it is mentioned in the first sentence of the "About Jason" box.

To me, it just seems like a very irrelevant piece of information to provide at that point in the text, unless an equally prominent portion of the book is devoted to discussing why being one of the fittest people in tech(as opposed to the four thousandth fittest person, which is still pretty darn fit compared to average) is important.
Netbooks worked just fine. Intel stopped updating their cpus for them and Microsoft wouldn't offer a lightweight OS to support them after XP was EOLed. Intel/MS purposefully killed the netbook. I know plenty of people who'd rather have a decent netbook over their tablet.
OP + author here. I just open-sourced the first of several starter-skeletons my company uses (WordPress, AngularJS, React, ExpressJS, etc.).

The main goal was to standardize the workflow, environments, and deployment of dozens of our sites so both frontend and backend teams could work in tandem as requirements got increasingly complex.

One approach I took that differs from YeoPress & others was to abstract away most of the boilerplate (provisioning, deployment, wp-config nuances) away, so that as features are added & bugs are fixed, a simple `bower update` would resolve most of the problems, rather than having to re-generate the scaffolding.

I've really enjoyed working on it, and it has helped out the team immensely, so I hope open-sourcing it can help others using WordPress that have yet to benefit from Vagrant and other tools.
That's an interesting angle. But presumably if someone comes along and creates a non-commercial FB competitor and people post photos of you there instead, that doesn't really address the real issue here, right?
Thanks, that seems like an interesting article.
People in SF (and really all around the bay) refuse to let San Francisco's obvious shortcomings and relatively insignificant size stop them from considering it the center of the entire universe. It's one of the most frustrating things about living in San Francisco, especially if you're moving from somewhere bigger or more interesting. However, NYC transplants to SF are rare; instead, you'll find hundreds of people from small towns across the country and world who must assume all "big" cities (something SF barely qualifies as) are flush with urine smells, mentally ill homeless, an embarrassing public transportation system which barely runs and a terrible male-to-female ratio that reinforces the awkward social climate.
yeah the simple answer is to manufacture wherever you want and just make sure workers have good pay and conditions.

In the first, third, and last cases the vehicles pretty much crashed into people. Two appeared to be equipment failures. The first looked like a GPS failure, the latter was a motor failure. I have two unexplained equipment-related crashes with my large Cinestar hexarotor, which has been enough to make me decide to never fly near other people.

And while RC drivers like to downplay the "drone" aspect, many pilots are hopelessly dependent on GPS position hold, in which case the vehicle essentially IS a drone, and is flying autonomously. When that malfunctions, bad things happen.
Sure, you can make a request, and most people will respect it. But you can't make it as a demand. If I want to tweet "I was out partying with pessimizer last night" there is no reasonable way (short of libel laws) to stop me.

> I am a huge fan of code modularization

These days that's no problem. But back then computers were slower and memory much tighter. Making clean interfaces to integrate things made the code too slow and large.

On the other hand, projects were smaller, so there was less need.
The corollary is Fruit fly populations mutate at a fast rate.

> Economics is a science.

Alright, I can use your semantics. Espeically because calling economics science is what we all do.

But it still doesn't change the very valid point that Nobel Prize image may loose because of Economics Nobel Price.

The same way it wouldn't be good for them to have Nobel Prize in Psychology. Or Political Science.

Top experts in these - forgive me the quotes - "sciences" can't agree on even most basic and fundamental concepts in their "sciences".

You'll have keynsians who say you need to print in the crisis. And you'll have austrains claiming that's actually the worst thing you can do. One group calling other pseudo-science and the latter calling former marxist definitely doesn't help its image. Propagating this image to the Nobel Prize isn't not good for Novbel Prize. The claim is 100% valid in my book. I'm not surprised they don't want to have it. It hurts their business.

Going back to Krugman in one of his "brilliant" pieces he suggests World War 3 is needed to end the crisis. Of course with austrains claiming that this is even worse and will make the crisis worse.

For a person on a street this looks like a band of clowns arguing. It's not like Nobel Prize winners in Physics have arguments about value of number pi or there are some who think that Earth rotates the Sun and some other who believe (yep, science - believe, lol) the opposite is true. You see, all I'm saying is, that it is 100% understandable for some of the Nobel family to be disgusted with it and not wanting their Nobel Prize to suffer from that. What's so difficult about understanding that?

Expanding on that thought: just imagine we have year 1490 and we don't know any better. Let's say a Nobel Prize in Physics exists. Let's say that for whatever reason a scientist who believes that Sun goes around the Earth gets it. While guys who say that Earth goes around Sun are ridiculed and laughed at. Maybe Nobel Family members not being experts in economics just - rightly - are afraid that we'll get better, much better in Economics in the future and then the Nobel Prize image will suffer. Because they are giving it out currently to some clowns, not even knowing about it. That's their perspective and I think I agree with it. Wouldn't you?
So is that the point you were originally trying to make instead of discussing etymology? While we're quibbling prescriptively about terminology, I'd argue that the IE exploit patched earlier this week was in fact a zero day since it was not public knowledge.

> The vulnerability underlying CVE-2013-3897 was found internally at Microsoft and would have been fixed in MS13-080. However, in the last two weeks, attacks against the same vulnerability became public, but since the fix was in the code already, it enabled Microsoft to address the vulnerability, CVE-2013-3897, in record time.

So, using it is marketing. Now they have their market, and exposure. So, that part of their marketing, using that marketing vehicle is over. So, even more it seems to make sense to ditch it and perhaps move on to something else. You dont have to keep doing the same thing the same way.

Also, to that end, it seems to have failed. They want people on their site, and Flipboard apparently isn't doing that. All it does is use the content to keep people on their site.

Taking the article at face value, I'd say ditch it and market in a different way.
