Because those people, even if you don't know them, are part of the community of the building, and for the most part people will respect the building they live in (obviously there are those people who don't as well). When you have strangers coming and going constantly, you lose some security in who is around you and when - and while it might be that the largest percentage of AirBNBers will treat the property with respect (and not just the apartment, but the building), it still increases the overall risk (either directly form bad short-term tenants, or even not properly closing the lobby door, or letting people in behind them that should not be in the building).
This is a good thing for a couple of reasons. First it allows equipment manufacturers to build chassis with the same drive trays that are already in production. Second, it that from a drive assembly standpoint, the same build and testing equipment can be used. This should speed development and manufacturing quality.

Is the concern more from an ergonomic perspective, that someone in a data center may plug in a drive into the wrong system?
That was my first thought. Wonder what the failure mode is if you mismatch things?
lol @ technobabble
Indeed. Seems like the place to be is AirBnB property manager. Have 6-12 properties to manage and you have a full-time income and perhaps part-time work.

Of course, I would start out low ($200/month) then raise and raise the fee when you become indispensible. The absentee owner is essentially just an investor with the capital outlay. And being far away and totally reliant on the cleaner/manager, you can probably squeeze him until he's making only 10% annual return (better than stock market, just to leave some incentive). The owner makes it easy to arbitrage him when he puts his financials in the open.

In your EDIT, I think you are essentially talking about a real-estate investment portfolio manager. You'd take money from investors, fly around and buy up property, then manage the cleaner/managers, take 50% of the profits and give the other 50% to the investors.
The author, Kurt Eichenwald, is an interesting case of rehabilitation. At one point he <cough>accidentally</cough> discovered some teen's kiddie porn cam and attempted to "save" the boy. If you are looking for a journalist who has little to lose by picking a fight with Glenn Greenwald, he's your man.
I'm not familiar with AirBnB but I'd guess there's no hotel tax being paid?

Assuming a $300 for utilities + HOA fees sounds believable
There's nothing US specific about zoning laws. They most probably preceded the founding of your silly colony.
> Mostly the lack of any ability to disassociate stuff.

I think I get where you are coming from. I've never approached FPGA work in this manner. What I mean by that is that every single FPGA board I've worked on I designed from scratch for the specific narrow application we were trying to address. I haven't had the need for full or partial dynamic reconfiguration at all.

Maybe I misunderstood. Modern tool sets from Xilinx (and probably Altera, but I am not that familiar with their offerings) have the ability to do incremental compilation. That, combined with allocating an area to your framebuffer code should net you reasonably quick design iterations.

Unless you are trying to do more than the basics a frame buffer isn't all that complex. A standard DRAM controller core to talk to memory, a set of FIFO's and a state machine to decide who does what when. If this is strictly for painting text and some basic graphics on the screen it's a relatively simple matter to double or triple buffer the interface you can render text/graphics in the background and flip between the live and background buffers during the vertical blanking period.

S-100. Ah. The good old days when you could actually wire-wrap your own peripheral boards. Here's a data point to date me: I ran AutoCAD on an S-100 system with a separate S-100 math co-processor card and a 640K ram-drive card. Worked like a charm. Oh, yes, interaction was through a VT-100 terminal (the real deal) and a tablet with a wired puck.

How many people on HN do you figure actually touched an IMSAI (outside a museum)?
They're disrupting an obsolete industry.
In a couple of the Airbnb places I stayed at, which had remote owners who I never saw, the manager was really just a minimum-wage sort of person who met me, oriented me, and periodically came in to do some light cleaning (I was a long-term (months) tenant). In Berlin, one of the guys had the gig as a "mini-job", and seemed quite unhappy when I tried to do any of the housekeeping myself - it was taking EUR out of his pocket by cutting his hours. I would think that it would be very easy, and cheap, to find assistants like this in the States who were not licensed PMs but were just plain folks.
Why do I always see people using lowercase "mm" to abbreviate million? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Just buy houses in Flint or some other lowly rust-belt city. Buy the property for $5,000, fix it up a little (wait to see why) and then find a renter for $700/month. If you're lucky they'll be section 8 so you don't really even have to worry about them skipping out on the rent.

Worst case you spend a few months evicting them and then spend a couple grand fixing it up after the house is completely trashed from piles of trash and holes in the walls and urine and feces in the floors. Then the next family moves in and the cycle repeats.
The project is still young, but I am sharing it for a couple reasons:

- I'd love to have people with professional experience looking over the examples and explanations. If you spot something that is inaccurate, please let me know.

- I'd love help writing good exercises and challenges. Many sets of programming exercises and challenges on the web quickly become too difficult for people who have never programmed before. If you have a good idea for an exercise or challenge, please write it up and share it.

If you want to respond to any of this, please do so in whatever way works best for you: write a pull request, respond to an issue, post a comment here, or contact me directly.

It's not about user-facing features. It's about the API and OS bug fixes. I upgraded my iPhone 4S from iOS 5 to iOS 7 not because I wanted iOS 7, but because I was unable to download new apps. Everyone in the App Store was already targeting exclusively iOS 6 and I didn't want to get further left behind. In the iOS world, developers target the latest and greatest API, taking advantage of new features and bug fixes. That's a good thing (tm) for users.

Contrast that with Android, where developers are still targeting Gingerbread and are unable to take advantage of any of the bug fixes in ICS, JB or KK.
This is a hard article to read between the arrogance of the author and their writing style (I counted six instances of "Period.").
Rails4 has been great - esp like the ability to use Hstore/UUID/JSON/Array datatypes with Postgres.
Calling an electrical noise / timing bug "quantum mechanics" is hyperbole. Otherwise, every EE that touches hardware is a quantum physicist (they're not).

EDIT: Not trying to diminish the OPs impressive feat of debugging though. Hardware errors can be beastly to diagnose. When wire-wrapping an 8086 computer, I used a spool of wire with occasional (random) breaks that would intermittently open. Worst. Bugs. Ever.

Because people don't behave in a hotel as they do at home - they're on holiday after all, so they might come back late drunk, they might want to party, they might make a mess in the hallway. Different people, every night. An unlike an owner, they could be anyone, or bring anyone with them. Basically, you are externalizing all the downside onto your neighbours, while pocketing the upside. It is no surprise that AirBnB started in America.
Maybe they can/will be making the jack on the drive a unique standard color?
Ha, was thinking about Adobe already, too. Users will rue the day.

But for the founders' benefit: hey Adobe, go look at their Kickstarter. Why don't you just acqui-hire these guys right now?
>The only way to buy insurance would be to lie and commit fraud.

I'm sure that's what's happening, probably unintentionally. And you're okay, until a crime is committed, someone is hurt, damages are done or the place burns down. Then the insurance company says, "Oh, you were renting it out? Good luck!"
I'm in the South too and many people that I know enjoy being safe with their guns.

Instead of outlawing gun control how about we outlaw crazy people from carrying them. Or better yet hold the parents of children responsible who go off and do shootings in schools. If they let their kid stockpile weapons in their basement then they should be responsible in some way for what their child does.
(I am talking about Columbine type stuff, not the LAX shooting)
It also prevents a legal and valid use-case -- renting out your couch every night of the the year. So long as you still live in the place yourself full-time, this isn't illegal under most municipal codes.
This is anecdotal but one of their students once told me that Waterloo puts more emphasis on mathematics compared to other universities. It's not that students there necessarily take more math courses but that most courses try to integrate math and teach the mathematical aspects of their material, even courses outside of science. Their wikipedia page states that "Waterloo created the first Faculty of Mathematics in North America" so I guess it's a tradition for them.
It sped things up, but I doubt much more than that. Look at the money we pump into Africa and the developing world; without the right society in place, that money just evaporates into short term fixes along with a lot of corruption and waste (not saying we should stop, but we have to do it better than we are).
You misunderstand. Tim Cook wouldn't have gotten the job in the first place if the board had thought he would shy away from such a decision.
m is 1,000. mm is m * m or 1000 * 1000, which is 1,000,000
As a side note, I wonder why nobody bothered to create a UEFI sound protocol.

This is an anecdote, not data, but my wife spent six months of her time in high school living in the park. This wasn't in sunny California - she still has some medical problems from sleeping in the snow. Also, her pre-school aged step brother was also living under the same conditions.

To answer the obvious questions to follow, the family did try the two homeless shelters. The government ran homeless shelter was quickly abandoned, as it was a haven for rape. There was a non-profit, privately ran homeless shelter for women which did not have the same level of trouble, but they turned my mother-in-law away because she would not convert to their religious beliefs.

I'm not doing reporting this as some sort of pity party. My mother-in-law is a terrible human being and she made many poor decisions that resulted in her being in this situation. I just wanted to make it clear that five weeks on a bus is in no way an outlier among those 1.6 million homeless children.

I do something similar with bash when I start a new project. Code's here:

https://github.com/gilesbowkett/rewind

It's just useful to profile the team in terms of who writes the most code, or to profile the project in terms of when it's seen the most activity. The first time I did this, it was a rescue project, and the people who we were rescuing didn't even bother to properly introduce us to the rest of the team (the real thing they needed rescuing from was team dysfunction), so I'd have been at a real disadvantage if I hadn't done the analysis.

also significant labor invested and ongoing to make $13,608 per year (not passive, as you note), transaction costs if you want to sell it, not risk free (although not necessarily much riskier than say the S&P) .
Just to clarify... Obviously it's not a pure allegory; there is an actual JS library being offered here. But I think the author intends it more as a reference implementation of some boilerplate to get you started with his DIY philosophy. I do think he's taken it too far by directly benchmarking it against frameworks, which are conceptually different things. It's all a bit mixed up, and this has caused a hypey and flamey conversation. But get past all that, and it does make an interesting point – that you can (surprisingly easily) achieve several things that we normally associate with frameworks, without a framework.
I don't expect the runtime to be _written_ in Go, however, when I first saw this title, a little tiny piece of me was hoping it would be a runtime _for_ Go.
A little background - I built it in 2011 as a way to learn web development, and to get rid of a number of gift cards I'd received over the years that I wasn't going to use (birthdays, Christmas, etc). I had a moderately-sized group of users and I kept it going until early 2013, and then decided I should bring it out of "open beta" by redoing it from scratch to apply what I'd learned since originally creating it.

What it is - Users answer and submit their own questions which run on the site for a 24-hour period. At the end of the 24-hour period, a user who answered correctly is picked at random and given a gift card for $5. The same is done for the person who created the question. Right now it's only one question a day (two winners), but I'd like to increase it to 2, 4, 8, etc as the website grows.

I'm more than happy to respond to questions or comments anyone has!
Think Big Analytics - Mountain View, Chicago, Salt Lake City

We do Big Data Consulting.

There aren't many companies where you can be working with Petabyte-scale clusters but still be at a start-up, but we're one of them. We currently have about 60 employees, but we've certainly had some big-time clients: Facebook, NASDAQ, EMC, Intel, NetApp, ancestry.com... the list goes on. We help our clients plan and build big data platforms and applications, and also provide data science and analytics consulting atop those platforms. We specialize in Hadoop, but really use whatever tool is right for the job.

There's certainly a lot of hype around big data right now, but if you're interested in cutting through the hype to providing real value, Think Big is a great place to do it. Fun work environment, exciting projects, and an industry that is blowing up. What more could you want?

We're hiring engineers, data scientists, project managers, recruiters, and sales executives. Here's our website: http://thinkbiganalytics.com and here are our open positions: http://thinkbiganalytics.com/big_data_openings/open-position...
> - You believe the actor-model concurrency is a better idea.

Better than using stateful concurrency? If you have read "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming" you would see that each approach is not necessarily "better", they each have their own unique advantages and disadvantages

To quote from CTM:
The message-passing approach is often the
best for multi-agent programs, i.e., programs that consist of autonomous entities
(“agents”) that communicate with each other. The shared-state approach is often
the best for data-centered programs, i.e., programs that consist of a large repository
of data (“database”) that is accessed and updated concurrently. Both approaches
can be used together for different parts of the same application.
I had to debug a problem in our program where MMX register would get corrupted under a new sampling profiler. Turns out profiler would forget to restore MMX registers - the profiler devs never used MMX and it did not occur to them that a component they called would do that. That took a while to debug.

Another fun bug was when alpha version of CLR failed to restore one of the two registers used to control loop execution on the Itanium. (Yes, Ia64 had two registers - one for loop variable as seen by the program and one to actually control the loop execution).

YES! Romney called himself "severely conservative" at CPAC ... a phrase you'll only find non-conservatives using in that context (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22severely+conservative%22&... )

You're confounding the current eGOP, as in Establishment GOP, which controls the nominating process, with many of its "completely nuts" elected officials and its base, who've many times in the last few decades declined to (re)elect RINOs, i.e. G. H. W. Bush in 1992, Bob "Tax Collector for the Welfare State" Dole in 1996, McCain, who had a hereditary vicious tempter which he turned on the base after not getting the 2000 nomination.

And Romney, the sort of NE liberal/progressive Republican (granted, an old wing of the party, see e.g. Rockefeller vs. Goldwater in 1964, or Teddy Roosevelt after the previous turn of the century) who could win in overwhelmingly liberal and Democratic Massachusetts. It was the only state in the entire freaking nation to vote for McGovern in 1972 (along with D.C.) after all, "acid, amnesty and abortion", baby!

- Strong Mobile Development Skills (iOS, Android)

- Strong Web Development Skills (Ruby on Rails, JavaScript)

- Experience with mobile frameworks (PhoneGap, Xamarin, RubyMotion)

- Strong OO skills

- Strong debugging skills

- OSX development experience

- C/C++ development experience

- Self-Motivated

- Good design, analytical and problem-solving skills

- Good communication skills

- Passion for real-time!

Desired/Other Skills:

- Windows Phone Development

- Android NDK

- OpenGL

- H264 Codecs

- SIP/RTP Knowledge

Product:

ShowKit is a mobile software development kit that turbo charges apps with live communication features in under 30 minutes. Before ShowKit, it would take companies and software engineers months of intensive development to add features like audio/video conferencing, screen sharing, and gesture control to their applications. Our first-to-market gesture control functionality empowers users to tap, swipe, highlight, and fully control another users' screen remotely while simultaneously connecting the two users via audio/video conference.

Notably, ShowKit is the only framework that includes hardware accelerated video encoding & decoding. This enables 720p at 30fps, the highest quality video conferencing resolution on the market, while using minimal cpu resources and allowing the app to run seamlessly in the background while a call is taking place. Comparable solutions use full cpu resources & only achieve 4-5fps at that resolution, which isn't feasible for video conferencing.

I suspect the difference (at least in the case of NY) is lack of regulation and kickbacks (sorry, taxes) for the local government.
