They are, and the international version of the Moto G will have HSPA+ in refarmed areas, and EDGE service elsewhere.

My Motorola Razr i has the same band support as the international Moto G, and I get HSPA+ in a lot of places in Boston but not all. Whereas my wife's penta-band Galaxy Nexus gets HSPA+ everywhere.

What's confusing is that the US GSM version has the 1700 band, but not the 2100 band, and T-Mobile to my knowledge requires 1700/2100 (everywhere) or 1900/2100 (areas that have been refarmed for iPhone support).

I've recently used Russ Cox's devweb for this:

As the article itself states under the heading 'Total portability':

"Carry it with you on USB stick or in Cloud. So your settings, aliases and history can go anywhere you go"
This isn't reappropriation. It's just putting something in public view in another form of public view, for better analysis.
I think this time it means that you can take it with you in a USB stick.

Relatedly, the English could use some proofreading. Otherwise, it looks good!
Economist and long time web scraper here.

In your original business model you wanted to understand the price of everything. In what ways did the problem of a lack of information on the demand side come up? That is, it is easy to scrape the price in many markets (supply side), but what kinds of conversations came up within your team about the lack of information on how many units were actually sold at a posted price?

By the way, glad to see you guys were able to make a business out of crawling. I've landed a handful of freelance gigs since leaving grad school based on scraping data for clients, but never tried to expand it to anything beyond consulting projects.

Back when I was slicing and dicing specs that had to be compatible with IE6, I really wish I could have used TinyPNG. Preserves alpha transparency that works in really crappy browsers, without resulting to weird CSS filter shenanigans.

But even today, I really enjoy the service. Not sure what I would pay for it, but it is very convenient.
Again with the anti-nightowl-ism ;-). Society's prejudice against sufferers of DSPS and non-24-hour sleep cycles must end! That, or we can just build soundproof apartments and let us all choose our own schedules.
I kind of hate to admit that the notion of forming a programmers PAC instantly appealed to me. Like most everybody, I dislike the way the political machine functions in D.C. these days, but fighting fire with fire - having a big influential lobby - appears to be the only thing that delivers results (particularly when you get huge companies with big lobbying efforts like Microsoft and IBM lined up in favor of protecting software patents; it's necessary to at least counter-weight them, and that takes a lot).

Long term one can aim for fundamental reform of our political system. Short term, a PAC might just be a big help. And on the upside, programmers have three great things going for them right now: high incomes and great jobs; well organized, with highly active communities online; countless of the most successful companies in America cease to exist tomorrow morning without them.

There are probably 10,000 programmers (less?), that if they chose to not show up to work over the next year, it would materially damage companies like Google / Facebook / Microsoft / Apple. The influence is plainly there to stop software patents, it simply needs to get organized.
Were they expecting to set up a the criteria/grounds for appeal? If Newegg accomplished that, then they hopefully met their objective. I think the goal is to get it out of the Texas court and onto some place that is more objective.
I should add that I've been "Uncle Barry" too. One of my poor sisters and her daughter tried to get me to loan them ten grand to help start a business, and I refused. Why? Because their plan was nonsense. I think they have a good $20-30k/year idea, which is great, but they were absolutely convinced that it's a $100k business - something I consider impossible upon running various numbers and the limitations of hands-on work. If they're not willing to be realistic about their scope, I'm not going to hand them money to pour down a hole.
If the pipe consumer (i.e. your syslog server) stalls, then it will be much worse than writing to a local file, as it could cause a denial of service.

I would still configure nginx to write to a file and have the consumer tail it to avoid this situation. Properly-configured log rotation can keep the file size within reasonable bounds.
It warms my heart that Boeing has pricing information available, even if it's just average prices. I hate that "Call Us" where the price should be and needing to go through excruciating pitching by sales droid to get further, I'll ask them how their product is more special than a 747 next time....
the only acceptable condition may be a _promise_ not to post negative things on your personal account while employed.

Personally I don't like that either.
Nope. Your definitions are contradictory.

There is no such thing as a "free enterprise" without a "free market", and vice versa.

To the degree you do not have a "free market," you have government regulation. To the degree you have government regulation, successful enterprises are organs of the state.

Free markets == free enterprise == capitalism. Why? Because they all just fall out of "the government only uses force to stop other people from initiating force and retaliating against them when they do," which is a proper government. And, as a sidenote, this is what the US Founding Fathers set up, to the closest extent they could.
I'm the same and did not discover this until about the 5th time I took the Myers-Briggs Personality Test. My initial tests had me almost exactly between extroversion and introversion.

On my last test, the facilitator explained the energy/stress aspect with a number of examples like your dinner party. She also mentioned people are naturally one or the other, not 50/50.

I realized that my natural inclination was introversion. I believe that what I perceived as my extroverted side was learned through a social upbringing to engage others, which is beneficial. There are a number of social/extroverted things that I sincerely enjoy but I walk away exhausted.

That reminds me of Gordon Moore in a commencement address (at Caltech in 2001?) quoting the number of transistors the industry was producing annually per resident of the US (and how that number was growing), and telling the graduating engineers their job was to figure out what to do with all those transistors. The answers turned out to include things like multi-gigabyte smartphones.

So who's going to figure out what to do with our future profusion of razor blades?
Perhaps, but there are plenty of scenarios where restarting won't help (e.g. daemon misconfiguration).
1) Not trivial at all. As documented in a rather broad range of papers and whatnot. You're almost certainly oversimplifying the problem.

2) For gigantic DBs the preallocation overhead is almost non-existent.

3) Fair enough.

Your last point is, again, is not fact. It's not slower but on average measurably faster than most commonly used RDBMs with equal "tuning" efforts if utilized for the same task. I can't help but feel you're not entirely objective here ;)

The fact that HN is trying to fight so hard against negative feedback is actually a good illustration of that. For me, this has always been strange.

If you need guaranteed log delivery, I wouldn't do that. Unread logs won't survive a power failure or system crash.
IMO, we need to stop having people control one another. There is no self-interested reason to do it, from anyone's point of view.
Losing information can benefit quantum computing
Back when Postgres didn't have automatic vacuuming, the need for manual vacuuming was one of the commonly-suggested reasons why MySQL was a better option - after all, MySQL just worked out of the box.
Hold on a sec... I'm calling BS on this.

I don't know what their experimental methodology is, but according to the article, 17% are REQUIRED to do write nice things about their employers in social media and another 27% are ENCOURAGED to do so. That's 47% or about half of all people.

That's just not true. Half of all people are NOT shilling for their employers on Facebook. Perhaps there is some small group in which this occurs, but I see almost no signs of it in my social circles, and honestly, do you see that? HALF of everyone?

I'm not dismissing the issue as unimportant, but I'm dismissing the data from the survey as clearly flawed or else applicable only to some special subgroup.

Yes, wouldn't you be a legal target for many companies once they have discovered that you are scraping their information? I've done crawling myself and wonder if I can actually resell the data without being afoul of the law.
If you think Social Security is a safety net, think again. Unless you are completely disabled you aren't going to see a dime from SSI. Anything that is 'short term' you are out of luck. Even cancer is considered 'short term'.

A real safety net for disability would be something like what Aflac provides. I had a friend who slipped a disk in his back and was stuck on a couch for months until he had surgery. Fortunately for him his company paid for disability insurance as a perk. I'm not sure what he would've done otherwise.

Two years isn't enough to judge whether an idea is bad or not, either.
This is crazy talk of course, but I wonder if there'd be some way to use rsync or git to support distributed development of images the way git does with code?

I mean, it'd be neat to be able to do a "pull" of diffs from one image into another related image. Merge branches and so on. I don't know, possibly this would be just too unreliable, but I would have previously thought that what docker is doing right now would be too unreliable for production use, and lo and behold we have it and it's awesome.
And soon, 2000/2001 again. People never learn.

Most generics are in fact manufactured by the original patent holder and sold to third parties (or in some cases marketed by a subsidiary with a different name). Setting up a manufacturing process for a drug is often non-trivial, so if the original manufacturer stops producing a drug, it may not be worth anyone else's while to (a) create a factory, and (b) get their version of the drug through safety testing, etc.

(I'm no expert, but I did work with pharmaceutical companies for about a decade, and in many cases they were manufacturing selling brand name and generic drugs side-by-side, or selling brand name in some markets and generics in others -- all from the same factory.)
The best way to overcome this is to keep a running list of any business or project you think of that's even remotely worthwhile. Continually groom and sort this list. It's like how comedians and writers come up with material, a lot of them carry around a notebook. Your brain gets used to having this background thread that is coming up with ideas and seeing all your ideas laid out in writing spurs new ones.
You can assign permanent names to containers. We're designing the naming syatem to make it completely OK to keep persistent containers. They're just named directories, docker will never remove them on its own.

For example a common pattern is to create a placeholder database container with reference dara as a volume, but no actual process running and no network ports. Then successive versions of the database container are started on the side, with shared access to the placeholder's volume. Later you might run a backup container on the same volume. In other words you can point to a particular dataset as a container of its own, separate of the various applications which might access it. All of these interactions are visible to docker so it can authenticate, restrict, log, or hook them in all the standard ways.

In fact internally images and containers are stored side-by-side. In future versions we are going to accentuate that similarity.
I do run a software company, and I would much rather hire someone with Penny Arcade on their resume than, say, Oracle or something.
Well, duh. The actual purpose of HN is as an advertising and recruitment tool for YC. It's certainly not for the benefit of casual commenters like ourselves. I think of it as a more tech-oriented form of television. Possibly one of those high-hundreds cable channels.
Yes. If you have a setup where the extra cost of power and cooling is negligible, then you would be able to mine effectively for free.

But then you still have the issue of buying the mining gear. And you'll probably never mine enough Bitcoins to ever pay back the initial purchase price. You'd be better served to just buy some coins from an exchange.

I have a 330Mhash/sec USB ASIC miner running right now on an old netbook, but I'm just doing it for fun. It's been running now for the past 2 weeks, and I've made less than $2. I spent only $20 for my ASIC though, so it's not too bad. A similar miner today would cost $35-$40 on ebay.
I don't see how the compiler's smartness factors in a language's level.
I'm not a libertarian. Libertarians have stolen 10% of Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism, and taken it out of context. That is why they make no sense, intellectually. I am an Objectivist.

Capitalism and free markets just "fall out of" a government that does not coerce people, and does not allow people to coerce people.

I already provided some evidence that my account is proper. I mentioned the issue of improperly defining things by non-essentials. I don't think you have presented a viable counter-argument.

> 1 Year - 365 Ideas.

I don't believe someone can buy domains for a spur-of-the-moment idea back-to-back even 3 days before he'll realize he has a problem. I would think that you can at least remember than you bought a domain yesterday and try to work on it a little.
I use G+ because none of my friends are there. I'm able to hear from interesting or influential voices of people who choose to blog or share on G+. Since there's little danger of my mom, my pastor, or my boss wishing to be friends with me, I can feel freer to speak my mind as well.

To me, G+ having a niche audience is a feature.
I dunno, but it's a lot easier to subsidize energy costs than it is to create more space.

Plus, adding liquid cooling does not appreciably increase the energy costs, and could even decrease them if it allowed savings on, say, air conditioning.
so the outcome is 'flame people and the discussion you don't like will disappear'?
I had thought that the general IT/AV person was a dinosaur, but judging from comments here, the position is alive and well. And all too common. Avoid these jobs if you can. If you have the talent and energy to do them, your energies will be dissipated and misdirected, and your talent wasted. You may end up too discouraged to develop it. And you will get old fast.
Hey Matt, thanks for your reply. I guess busy mode's UI looks too much like I'm not being a "team player" to me, at least in the Chrome web UI. My ideal, and I recognize this may not align with your target market, would be snapping a single image to use as my avatar for the hour/day/week/month, with knocking before chatting, but no indication that I don't want to be disturbed. I do like the UI overall and think you've got a good thing going.

JSConf US 2014 Announced and Call for Speakers Now Open
Two thoughts spring immediately to mind.

Firstly, take a job posting to it's logical extreme and you'd get something similar to the linkedin post[1].

"We want a ninja rockstar coder+sysadmin in the top 99.999th percentile of skill/ability/knowledge. A successful candidate will give their heart and soul to the company, for very little money. Fringe benefits: pong pong table, a beer fridge, and limited 401k matching"

[1] Speaking as someone currently looking for work.

Secondly, this is par for the course at Penny Arcade who has historically gone to great (and borderline abusive imho) lengths to find the best candidates. Their television show PATV did two fascinating arcs on hiring, the first episode of which is here: http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/new-hire-part-1

Robert Khoo will no doubt get a lot of applicants, whom he will ruthlessly cull until he has the perfect fit for his organization. And if he can't find a perfect fit, he'll start over until he does.

I greatly admire his accomplishments at Penny Arcade and have no strong desire to work for him.
"Even fiat currency is backed by the full faith in government."

What does this mean? Government won't give you another commodity in exchange for fiat. Is it faith that government will give you a dollar in exchange for a dollar?
Yeah, its run against the WHOLE sass spec!

Only do this if you expect to make an amount which will get you a few months of runway.

If it is just enough to cover your operating expenses plus a small surplus, it will be very easy to fall into the trap of doing consulting and then creating the product "on the side".

I'm a little concerned that these days to go-to answer for a crashing daemon is to have another daemon that watches it and restarts it.

Who watches the watchers? What happened to writing things that don't break?
I am the accused know-nothing above commenter.

In fact, I know presiely what "anarcho-capitalism" is, and I totally reject it.

An actual system of freedom (which capitalism falls out of) requires people to be protected from the initiation of force by a government. Anarcho-capitalism is simply a power vacuum that will be filled (99% of the time, in a dangerous way).

Moreover, I am not a libertarian, I am an Objectivist (the philosophy the libertarians stole 10% of and started taking out of context when they started their modern movement).

To respond to your other point, the fundamental political axis is freedom on the one side, and authoritarianism on the other. It doesn't particularly matter if that is wrapped up as socialism, communism, fascism, or whatever.
Why getting into tech isnt as easy as you think
>Perhaps it's rather as the author believes in an objective reality, where there is one true valuation of a thing

This just annoys me to no end. Even in an objective reality, valuations are subjective; e.g. I value having a high-end computer at my home and a rink-a-dink laptop on the road, whereas some of my friends will never own a desktop again because they find no value in it. To be cliche, different strokes for different folks. There is no real valuation of anything, but simply a choice between alternatives which offer some or all of the things that someone chooses to value.

What you're describing is utilitarianism.
If you believe this then you have never run a company. Being responsible for a company is categorically different from being an employee at a company, even if that employee is very hard-working.
Homoiconicity isn’t the point
It is obviously not an egalitarian meritocracy, but there are serious opportunities for anyone with access to the internet. The less fortunate will face a lot more adversity to find success, which makes it that much sweeter.

Not sure how you read it as non-committal. He's said in parliament that he will take steps including blocking online sites linked to extremism.

And I'm also not sure why you think there would be any realistic likelihood of them being thwarted in court, given the fact that the courts have already ruled that ISPs have to block access to sites like PirateBay. It's difficult to believe they'd be more precious over protecting access to sites that the government claim are extremist.
Wow, Bob's army actually got their attention. It was becoming scary how prevalent he was, but I still didn't think Google would care. Shows how low my faith in their user support has fallen.

It’s time that we knew more about what startups are doing with our data...
"Egalitarian meritocracy" is relative.

It used to be that going to Harvard was largely a measure of whether you had enough money to go to Harvard. In 1950, the acceptance rate at Harvard from elite preparatory schools was almost 90%.

Today, it's an "egalitarian meritocracy." The acceptance rate is around 5-6%. A quarter of students come from families that make below $80k, and 60% of students receive some financial aid. In other words, a household income of $80k, which is top 30% nationwide, puts you at the bottom 25% mark at Harvard. Further, 40% of students apparently come from households making over $180k (the point at which aid phases out), which puts them in the top 5% or so of households nationwide. The statistics at Princeton, Stanford, etc, aren't any different.

People in the start-up world talk about "egalitarian meritocracy" in the same breath as they say they give explicit preference to kids coming out of Stanford, a place where the median person is from the upper middle class. It's true in a purely relative sense. It's very meritocratic compared to how things were historically, and how things still are in many parts of the world.

That is not to say that these institutions could be appreciably more meritocratic by their own efforts. Rather, when talking about whether a field is "meritocratic" you can't ignore the fact that class and income-based sorting takes place at a much earlier stage in the pipeline.
