The book "Enough: True Measures of Money, Business, and Life" by John Bogle (http://www.amazon.com/Enough-True-Measures-Money-Business/dp...) might be good for you. I read it years ago. He talks about "how destructive an obsession with financial success can be".

Maybe you could change your focus outwards. For 30 days, instead of focusing on how you could amass more money, you could focus on what you could do to help the most people. You would likely feel less depressed after that.

This reminds me of a poem mentioned in the book:

True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter island.

I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22′
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!
You should learn go instead of C.
Vimeo is on par or ahead for artsy original content, but pretty much focuses only on that niche, so there aren't many music videos for popular music, tv show / movie clips, or any of the rest of the stuff you find on YouTube.
You got me thinking - it would be 'cruel&unusual' and invoke flashbacks to barbaric times, but a '3-strikes' policy that would put a permenent, visible brand "i'm a thief" or "i'm a con-man" would probably deter opportunities future crimes.

It's not humane and it restricts liberty - but it's more humane and less liberty-restricting than the corrent "solution" of permanent imprisonment.
As they say, profit doesn't make you happy but I'd rather cry in a Pagani Zonda.

> Go is a language. There's no problem with dynamic loading as such;

True. However the ones responsible for writing the main compiler are against providing such support on the official compiler toolchain.

> Also, "Android only uses dynamic loading" - given the existence of NDK, how is that true? As far as I know, you can link statically whatever you want.

The NDK only produces shared objects as final binaries. You are allowed to produce static libraries to link on your final .so, but that is about it. You cannot produce pure executables.

The code compiled with the NDK is loaded and executed from a DalvikVM instance.

The NativeActivity that so many people without NDK knowledge think is native code, is actually a Java class that inherits from Activity, loads the produced .so and delegates the Android events into native code.
Yes, that was the meaning, S3. I too use Arq, to Glacier.
Wow those photos stunning...and thought provoking.
I was wondering if you had though and computed the maths for harvesting storage as well?
For general video use, nothing beats YouTube.

It's interesting, though. In Hollywood, Vimeo seems to be the default choice for professional work. Up and coming directors have their short films and reels up there. And there are some password-protected videos top pros use for work on very big name films.

It's weird how markets segment like that.

...within a gated community that encloses those who pay the access fee.

While free roaming would be a net win for society, the currently advantaged part of society does not feel like sharing much.
So you have a hand rolled version of rsnapshot?: http://www.rsnapshot.org/
No, one person being the edge case is definitely not enough to put the whole system down.

If we get, say, 1000 edge cases every year - then it's completely acceptable unless you can provide another system that will have much less edge cases. And if you're not sure, you don't switch until you are sure. If you simply "switch off" the system, then you get random 'mob justice' which whill have much more problems than the current situation.
Julia is quite cool, actually.

As for Java, Oracle together with AMD, are in the process of making the GPU trasparent to Java developers as part of the Sumatra project.

So this is one are where R could benefit of running on Oracle's JVM. It remains to be seen if other Java vendors would adopt such feature.
I noticed this immediately too!
Lovely UX, and I'm so glad someone did that. Kudos!
Every vehicular accident where any party has any sign of drinking is counted as "drinking-related". If a drunk guy jumps out in to a busy street and is hit by a stone-cold sober driver, that's "drinking-related", though obviously not a case for further-strengthening DUI laws.
True. It is beyond sickening. Recently it forced me to upgrade to Google + when i try to login to gmail. Upgrade?

That was the only choice in the whole page. I have to close the browser session and come back again. I really dont know what to do. Got sucked in. there is no way around. Soon i will get the courage to move out.
Why is making her drink breast milk incredibly stupid? Because TSA already have equipment to test liquids for explosives without having passengers sample their own liquids.

Not to mention, breast milk has always been counted as medication, although the rule to not make passengers sample their own liquid is probably new since that incident.

Liquids from outside are allowed on planes depending on how you bring it in. My dad travels with juice/gel exceeding 3oz (with a note from his doctor). I've gotten a Costco-sized bottle of contact lens solution past TSA (so if you want to know how to sneak in some vodka...) One winter I was traveling a couple times a month with some terrible bronchitis+sinusitis issues and I had a gallon sized bag full of cough syrups and inhalers. Whatever. The only two things I remember TSA specifically tested from my bags from, at this point, hundreds of flights, is one mega sized bottle of purple drank (if you split liquid meds into a bunch of smaller but still bigger than 3oz bottles they don't seem to care) and one bottle of shampoo.

Banning people from bringing liquids on board and halfheartedly enforcing the 3oz rule when they can be circumvented so easily even with TSA approval (see TSA precheck!) is so incredibly dumb it baffles my mind.

Oooh ooh bonus points: I put something like 10 quarts worth of homemade jam in my checked luggage on one flight and TSA didn't even look at them (and good thing too, because they were all canned and I would have flipped out if the seals were broken). I wonder what you could do with 10 quarts worth of jam-consistency material in a bag. BTW hey TSA I'm not a terrorist, just someone that doesn't like you very much for making me deal with those terrible massages every time I try to get on a flight.
The 10 biggest breakthroughs in physics over the past 25 years
I am asked for a phone number most times that I actually log into mail (which isn't all that often since I just sleep the computer). Youtube is a travesty, though.

After the recent upgrade, it did ask twice to turn on Talk for SMS messaging. I said no both times and it hasn't asked me since.
Did someone just wake up?
I have been looking for a guide like that. I would also appreciate a release of the unfinished version.
Are you kidding me? What do you want to do instead, cut his hand off?

The sheer lack of imagination and knowledge you exhibit is astonishing. If I don't think it's smart to imprison him, I must want to cut his hand off? Let me guess; you're a US citizen and you don't travel much, so all you've ever seen regarding prison policy is identical US politicians posturing over who can be more "tough on crime"?
> So the question is what do we do with people who commit small crimes as a lifestyle, and have proven repeatedly in practice that our rehabilitation doesn't work on them?

Do you think the US system offers sufficient rehabilitation mechanisms to make the case that rehabilitation doesn't work?

Personally, I don't. To European eyes, it looks revenge-heavy, and rehabilitation-light.
That personal info must be worth an unholy amount of money for them to blow their once-stellar reputation like this.
See Malmö for example[1] where "the majority of foreign born working age adults do not work."

That's not what the data really says. Think, how does the SCB know if people are working? Do they follow them around? No, they only know what people tell them. So what that data shows is that less than the majority of foreign born adults declare that they're working. Now I'm sure you can think of a few reasons why a poor immigrant would have to not declare that s/he's working.
From the Federal Reserve's Consumer Compliance Handbook, section II, Regulation CC ("Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks"), pp 11-12:

Some small financial institutions do not keep cash on
their premises and do not offer cash ￼withdrawal services
to their customers. Others limit the amount of cash on
their premises, for reasons related to bonding, and as a
result reserve the right to limit the amount of cash a
customer may with­ draw on a given day or to require advance
notice for large cash withdrawals. Nothing in the
regula­tion is intended to prohibit these practices if
they are applied uniformly and are based on security,
operating, or bonding requirements and if the pol­icy is
not dependent on the length of time the funds have been
in the customer’s account, as long as the permissible
hold has expired. However, the regulation does not
authorize such policies if they are otherwise prohibited
by statutory, regulatory, or common law.

In other words: Unless they're violating some technicality in the law (probably a state or local law), it's probably entirely legal. Probably safest to talk to an attorney before coming to any conclusions on the matter.
It's a justice system. Justice requires doing something sane with edge cases. The three strikes laws don't do that.
This is completely meaningless and unimportant. Unfortunately, real people don't generally act like the "economic man" you (and I) learned about in Econ 101. Real people value social ties and community, even when the dollar value of those things is quite low. Citizenship, especially for small countries, is a form of community. Selling access to that community to outsiders who may not respect the social norms and values of the community is therefore objectionable to many people.

I've never seen evidence of a hard correlation between incarceration rate and crime rate, it sounds intuitive if you assume everyone has equal chances in life and has other options, but do you have figures?

If that were the case, the US, Cuba and Rwanda should be the safest countries in the world (all near the top in incarceration rates) and Sweden one of the worst. The opposite is true if you look at (for example) homicide rates. I'm not sure there is any evidence of even a good correlation between higher incarceration and lower crime.
I have independently reached the same conclusions. Glacier for photos / videos backup and Dropbox / time machine for everything else.
I clicked the comment link for this story just to see how HN readers would make this simple feel-good story into some cynical circle-jerk. Was not disappointed.
Yeah. The problem is that pretty much whatever they do--and certainly whatever they do that is practical at low-cost scale--is subject to criticism. In this case, it's the phone number thing. But try out these other headlines:

How I lost access to my Google account and couldn't get it back

How a hacker compromised my Google account with social engineering

etc.
Which does not point to grains causing dementia, being poison etc., it points to overeating being really bad for you. Possibly that has to do with carbs, probably not because your body ends up doing pretty similar things with an overabundance of fat or protein. The difference is these foods make you feel fuller, and so you are less likely to overeat them. But there is still little evidence that overeating one specific macronutrient is worse for you than another.

That's not the long run, that's just 20-60 years. Look at the US where 99% of the population is immigrants. We're not doing too badly, are we?

This is helpful, thanks for the comments. I don't really want it for meetings - lately I've been writing more fiction, again, tho, and find I sometimes want to write freehand instead of on my laptop -- but then I have to deal with transcribing pages and pages of my looping handwriting...
I want to clear some things:

0. Meteor is in version 0.6.6.4 so there are things not as good as they could/will be.

1. scaling: meteor is 100% scalable. There are meteor smartcollections which use the MongoDB optlog. Nice read: http://meteorhacks.com/lets-scale-meteor.html .

2. Right now you have to stick to MongoDB this will change in a later version.

3. Meteor will get a new rendering engine which will allow you to put angularjs( god only knows why ) or haml or some other templating thingy in meteor.

4. You can use meteor with phonegap right now.

Will meteor solve all your problems? No!

Will meteor will make you not think? No!

It's a great new piece of technology and you will learn new pattern and things. the livedata package and ddp package are great packages on their own.
Free from their point of view, not yours or mine! We're talking about affordability not where the money is coming from.
I don't mind the annoyance of Google+ for my personal account. But they really fucked things up when they forced the integration on my Google Apps for Business (terrible name by way -- why not "Google Business Suite"). Now we have clients pissed off because they can't share images in their organization without opening Google+. This HAS to stop.
It's also an excellent new benchmark for JavaScript VMs. If we can get near-native performance on this it'll enable a whole new class of application.
Thanks for the heads up, I thought it was still not fully there from the mailing list traffic.

Do you have any pointers about it?
i just put my videos on dropbox, since that way theres way less risk of a dmca takedown and they are seen at the original resolution. i dont think the ease of sharing/organic traffic on youtube is worth the trouble.
This is how I do that for servers, but I'm experimenting with using the same backup schema for my local machine, too:

On my servers, every virtual machine is on an encrypted block device, so the data is already encrypted when it's written to the disk. Then I use Shasplit [1] and Rsync for efficient incremental backups. Restoration is a simple "cat" invocation (or use Shasplit for that), and I get back a full, running, encrypted VM with everything.

Talk about bad journalism. That is not true. Google's All Access music streaming has _never_ been blocked by flash DRM restrictions. The raw MP3 streams have been available ever since its inception, as it has been included in Simon Weber's python google music API implementation [1] for about 5 months (which is a few weeks after All Access was announced). From that API it has been implemented in those 3rd-party apps like GMusic and Cloud Play.

So, the only "bad guy" here is Google for not making an iOS app sooner.

I know very little about boxing, so I'm really not sure. My thought would be that though both were successful, perhaps Ali was an underdog who became successful where Tyson started successful but hit a plateau? I have no idea whether or not that maps to reality, that's just pattern matching. The other possibility is that the author of the article knows the same amount about boxing as I do, and chose an unfortunate analogy.
Sorry about that! I thought getting something unexpected would be more fun. But majority here want to see real book titles so I will look into it.
This is so spot on. Asking questions is completely different than asking good questions. Conversion Rate Experts, who are pretty much the leaders in conversion rate optimization, talk about using questions to light up different areas of a user's motivations and mindset (they call it a psychogram, that's their branded term).

I like that mental model, because if you think about questions as tools to illuminate different areas that you are blind to (whether in your business or customer mindset) you ask different and more insightful questions.

If you want to figure out churn, and you're trying to figure out what you're blind to with your churn numbers you have a more investigative mind set and end up with better insights.

They dive more into it here: www.conversion-rate-experts.com/questions/
for Google no seems to mean maybe ... but hey their services their effen rules ... as customer we should seek alternati... oh wait, Google killed any viable alternative by giving its services for "free"...
This annoys the hell out of me because I know as well as they do that one day I'll misclick one of these fucking things.
fastmail.fm would also be an alternative, even though it isn't free.
Previous backup method:
1. Back up working dir (~1.5 GB) daily with rsync to Raspberry Pi.
2. Back up encrypted archives of photos/videos monthly to mega.co.nz and external drive, and back up new photos/videos during month with #1 above.

New back up method:
1. Back up everything with Deja Dup to $25/year, 50GB VPS daily - I don't have a lot of data.
2. Back up everything with Deja Dup to external drive monthly (maybe going to weekly).

Edit:
All photos are resized monthly with a script to create a ~100KB copy that lives on my laptop and phone. I can see all photos I've ever taken on my phone, but still have the full-res copy backed up.
I think the problem is that modern conservatives have gone so far to the right that organizations which are traditionally conservative are now considered left wing.
You totally miss the point. Its not about how great two factor authentication is. Its about the fact I don't want to use the two factor authentication, I'd rather loose everything.

I'd rather have my "sensitive" data compromised than have some multinational advertising company that has been compromised by every major government on the planet have access to me at any given time.

And its as annoying as having someone stand in your kitchen every morning and say "A bowl of bran Sir, its good for you, best thing to eat Sir, other options are inferior". I hate Bran, I'd rather eat toast, I'd eat fruit, I'd rather wait till lunch time. But that butler person won't go away, he shows up at lunch time, an dinner, and when I just feel like a quick snack down town.

I don't care how much better it is for me, I already know, I just don't want it.

And lastly, if someone steals your phone, with your a mail client on it, it is way easier for identity theft to occur, not harder.
My main issue is the things damn insistence on flash. I want my MacBook battery to last. My recent solution has been to enable developer mode, change user agent to iPad, and all is well. But why the hell does it just flat out refuse to play when you don't have flash installed - even though it can?
No, it'll back up to other computers with a Crashplan account. I don't want to depend on third parties who may or may not be around, I want to give a drive to a friend and say: Plug this in.
I feel somewhat dirty saying this, but I'm a fan of Office 365. Exchange support, fantastic customer service, and I feel like if I'm paying money, I'm actually the customer.

NSA's got all my shit anyway, at this point. If I can find an equivalent product that doesn't have the .gov down their throats, I'll jump ship tomorrow. But for now...
[core dev] If you like to think about your application starting with its API, I think you'll really like learning more about DDP [1], the websocket JSON-based protocol that Meteor clients and servers speak. This is one of my favorite parts of the stack.

Rich clients built against a REST API tend to need some sort of client-side cache so that clients can avoid repeated RTTs back to the server for data, and thus some sort of websocket-based invalidation system so that the server can push fresh data into that cache in real time. That's doable, but a total bummer for interoperability and shared tooling. Since the implementation of those things is usually custom to each app, it's rare to see one real-time app connected to another the way we can bolt server-based REST apps together. And there's no `curl` for this kind of endpoint.

DDP is actually quite simple. The spec is just a couple pages of markdown. It lets servers publish changing data sets to the client and it implements once-and-only-once remote procedure invocation. It runs over a websocket or over SockJS. Eventually we'll also define a binary TCP/TLS mapping for use between servers.

When you write `Meteor.publish` in a Meteor server, you're defining a real-time DDP endpoint, like a streaming version of GET. The server makes the common cases easy -- publishing a realtime MongoDB query to a client is a one-line function in Meteor -- but you also have access to the low-level DDP messages if you want to do something more advanced like publishing the output of a GPS sensor or a stock ticker.

There aren't any special bindings between Meteor clients and servers, just the standard DDP messages that go back and forth. So you can implement either side of the wire using something else. And there are some third-party implementations of both the client and server in the field now. You can write a Meteor front-end against a Java DDP backend. You can connect a native iPhone app to a Meteor backend. Or you can have two Meteor server processes, one subscribed to the other. (There's been discussion of all these cases on the mailing lists. We use server-to-server DDP heavily in Galaxy, the hosting product we're working on.)

If you already have the answers right, the 'check' button appears not to work, but actually it highlights only those cells which are wrong, so if you've got it right it won't highlight anything.

They are far from the same thing, and why do you think it is worse?
I gave google my phone number a long time ago when I set up two step authentication. Your account is significantly more secure when you do that. Has never been abused AFAIK.

I think of it as similar to giving identifying information to my credit card company when I'm calling them. (Though citi pissed me off asking me for the full credit card number a few years ago).
