VAT is a tax paid by the consumer, and which is collected by the final seller (to the end consumer). A business which accepts bitcoins would be required to remit the VAT in an acceptable currency. If the business did not collect VAT from the customer, the payment of VAT would be borne by the business.

Well, there's this:

"In-home Streaming

You can play all your Windows and Mac games on your SteamOS machine, too. Just turn on your existing computer and run Steam as you always have - then your SteamOS machine can stream those games over your home network straight to your TV!"

OK, I have no idea what point you are trying to make then. Please forgive my ignorance on your social conventions.
They absolutely can, and Space X has already said they are willing to make it available to other commercial users. This is just who gets the rights to negotiate the lease rights to it. Presumably Space X will sublease/contract launchpad rights to other companies from there.
And then that other video site can figure out which bot they will implement when Viacom slaps them with a billion dollar lawsuit.
When you reach the first challenging level (the one with three pulsars and you can draw at the bottom) you were supposed to be educated and ready. But the previous levels didn't do it for me. I suppose I was supposed to remember the pattern in the previous level or something. How many hacker points did I lose now?

Also it's not fun to draw in the tiny little grid. It would make life much easier if the shapes on the right was draggable to the canvas.
If I had no context about RapGenius, many things I would read online about the company and founders would make me think they're kind of "arrogant ______" -- but I'll tell you this: I went to a music tech meetup in NYC, as I often do, and one of the co-founders spoke and took questions. It was VERY inspiring, interesting, and just a good time overall. Sure they have a style about them that may put many off, but they hustle and they truly care about their product. That's better than a bunch of cynical people talking trash about them online. /rant
Gotta pay the bills somehow. I hear most military pensions don't quite cut it.
I think any elite above a certain dollar amount or level of power, would just go elsewhere. Isn't Uruguay right beside Argentina, and Paraguay, for instance? And you can get a residency visa for Uruguay if you can show $500 a month income (I am told).

Actually, Uruguay seems like a cool place to hang out... will add to bucket list.
Why share private email publicly? Oddly enough, I now see the benefit of using snapchat...

That's how it originally worked, but with the proposed changes, turning blocking into effectively muting, a spammer can still see tweets from the spammed account, but the spammed account will no longer see tweets from the spammer.

Note: twitter has backtracked on this change anyway, so it's back to how it originally worked.

""Right now we are pretty stacked with consultants," the video-game man responded. "Thirty active and recently retired guys" for one game: Medal of Honor Warfighter.

I just did that. I turned 50 last year and took about 9 months off to travel the world. When I came back, I posted my resume online and had a job within days. And there's nothing special about my resume, mostly just .Net web programming, though I'm admittedly fairly good in the technical interview.

The only place I sensed age discrimination were the places I wouldn't work anyway, the crazy "we expect 65 hours a week" shops.

I really enjoyed reading this. It's clever and well done and honestly makes me like the rap genius guys more for responding in kind.

As for why op is publicly posting a private email thread, it wouldn't be surprising for both sides to agree to post this content. Despite the slightly brutal reply at the end, rap genius doesn't come off looking bad at all.

The only reason this should be of any interest is that github took it down: https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equalit...
I don't need to be CHALLENGED to increase my interactions with men in IT. Because IT is filled with men, I interact with them constantly. Perhaps a useful github would instead attempt to CHALLENGE the men in IT to interact with real women, instead of building up imaginary caricatures and basing complex worldviews on this without validating it. Sounds kind of waterfall, really, to build up so much theory before ever trying a real interaction.
Serious question.

Why? For what exactly? How do you put up with that UI?
"It is now possible to configure the number of concurrent requests served by each of your app's dynamic instances..

You can configure Go instances to serve up to a maximum of 500 concurrent requests.

This setting allows your instances to handle more simultaneous requests by taking advantage of Go's efficient handling of concurrency, which should yield better instance utilization and ultimately fewer billable instance hours."

AppEngine may or may not decide to spin up another instance before your maximum concurrent requests is reached - but hey, pretty rad that you can do this now. Few hundred requests per instance is not bad at all and this makes the auto scaling less of a black box.
Not everyone has someone they immediately know. In-person, with prior engagements is best IMO.
yes

Use another VM or nix install to grab the zip, extract it to a path and run the following:

genisoimage -o test2.iso -r -J steamos/

(assuming you extracted the zip to steamos/)

I've edited this post to remove most of what I said, the installer as it stands now is designed to work on UEFI compatible systems only and VirtualBox isn't compatible enough.

I'm not sure I can be bothered fixing it as the SteamOS TOS forbids distribution of modified versions.
It's really tough for older people to see the value in the service they provide, especially those that missed the 'rap game'. I admit that the funding they are getting is kind of crazy, but they do offer a platform and userbase that is very widespread and potentially important with artist tie-ins.

The email is a bit much, though, targeting great engineers - I get that they are going for talented young engineers that can get the 'vision'...

The good thing about being older is that it becomes easier to figure in lists like this. Had I played my cards right, I could be in the 50 under 50 list right now, but, in just a couple years, my odds of being in the 60 under 60 list will be 20% higher even if nothing else changes.
it is satire, created by 4chan. http://imgur.com/a/kzglk#0
your post is really out of topic. Your comment has nothing to do about this news on steamos.
Think about it. Everyone gets a free computer from the state. Of course only a percentage of those will learn how to program it, but imagine what an experienced professional software developer could do in a country like that, with a ready source of junior developers who all speak fluent Spanish, the second largest language group worldwide after Mandarin. If you are good at coaching/mentoring younger developers then Uruguay sounds like a good country to move to and start a software business. You would handle the English language versions and your colleagues would do the Spanish language version. Mobile apps, web apps.
Can you provide any more details on how/why someone gave you that opportunity? Was it a friend? Friend of a friend? Did you apply for a Lua, javascript, angular, php, Java, Clojure, Actionscript position that you weren't qualified for, but did a good job of selling the transferability of your c++ skills? I'm genuinely interested in the details and any lessons you can share.
You've go to to love the hackernews spin on this. No more free miles, blah, blah. Do you really think the miles were actually free? Of course they are not.

Essentially this ruling allows retailers to pass on bank card payment fees to customers.
Previously these fees were hidden, and the retailer had to swallow the fees, and of course ultimately pass them on to ALL customers equally as a cost.

Now, customers themselves get to pay the fees directly, and thus have a choice, and consequences, in which payment methods to use. And of course this will likely have downward pricing pressure on the payment service providers, so in a reverse of the usual story, consumers in general will benefit at the expense of the banks.

This is the way free markets are supposed to work, as opposed to the current cosy backroom agreements that only benefit the banks.
I used to work in the same department as Tom/Lemon in a previous life and pretty much all of it is true. The guy is pretty talented and somewhere close to brilliant, but he definitely has a very noticeable "personality" that totally rubbed me the wrong way. That said, I know for sure that in my career I've been found to be insufferable at times; I have to give a bit of a pass on my impressions of him.

Anyway, as long as my ability to work isn't impacted, I try to judge people solely based on the quality of their work. I feel like what Rap Genius is doing is tremendous, I'm happy for him and wish them the best of luck.

Personality clash is totally a respectable reason to not want to go work for someone, but posting this exchange publicly seems more than a bit childish to me and definitely unprofessional.
Out of curiosity, what does "junior position" mean, exactly? Is it that you want to be more of an architect and were being offered programming positions?

Or am I just assuming programmer, and you're actually something else?

The point was simply that what you wrote is how a very bad argument starts. I took care to point out I wasn't accusing you of that but you have reacted defensively anyway.

It's my fault for trying to engage an HN-er in a form of discourse other than debate.
The author(s) correctly identify ASCII as basically Hitler, but UTF-8 is still a pretty white-privileged encoding. UCS-4 is more respectful of cultural diversity.
Was there some law saying that the retailers had to allow payment with these cards? It seems like a "free market" as you put it should allow retailers to no longer accept payment via certain cards if it doesn't make business sense to do so.
How could it be anything other than satire? Did you read any of it?
Seen how much people pay for enterprise levels in Omniture?
Still misses the value side, but even on the cost side, that's just a recipe for getting someone back in the workforce for 18 months until they re-establish their credibility and confidence and jump ship to another firm for what will be a 300% raise for them. I wouldn't blame them in the least; they'd be an idiot to keep working for me under those circumstances.

Hugely helpful for the employee, but an "adequate, not spectacular" employee who works for me for 18 months isn't helping my company much overall. The first 6 months is straight negative; the next 6 is break even, and the next 6 pay back the hole we dug in the first 6. So, good for them and hopefully break even for me, except I lost 18 months of "tempo" with one of my employee spots.

For a cash-strapped company, this plan might make more sense. For a profitable and growing later-stage company, I think this makes much less sense. (I work a much later stage company, so that surely colors my opinion and biases here.)
Now that's a story worthy of being on HN: Github censoring for content. Granted, said content is utter drek.
Anyone know why the hard drive requirements are so large? Also they say 500gb and 1TB in different locations

"The image provided here requires at least a 1TB disk."
Of course, but then they are turning away custom.

Why shouldn't they be allowed to charge customers different prices depending on which payment method they use, given different methods have different costs to them.

Now they can.
It's mind-boggling that someone has spent so much time on this when they could instead have been creating something useful, meaningful, or, at the least, actually funny.
Yeah the difference between the headline's implication and the content of the actual article is really jarring. This is objectively a good decision.

No advice is perfect for everyone, therefore never give advice? That'd be a pretty terrible idea.

The question is how many people the advice would be useful to vs how many it would harm, and to what degree. Framing it otherwise just inflicts a massive loss of utility on all the people who would have benefited from it - i.e. you'd be choosing a world with more misery to live in.

Exactly. They check the types. They don't burden the programmer with such tasks.
I accidentally downvoted this post, and would be happy if you returned the favor. Sorry.
Could not agree more. He states a lot of statements as if they are proven facts, where they are really speculation and opinion, which is the opposite of an objective scientific argument. And he seems to fundamentally miss-understand machine learning
I guess I prefer the impure systems then, too. :)
I guess this is supposed to make rap genius look bad or something? I don't understand the context, but I don't know why you'd publicly post an email like that when it seems like an earnest attempt to recruit the guy. "No thanks" would suffice. So your cultures don't align. You don't have to be a dick about it. Maybe you don't agree with rap geniuses' behavior or whatever (I think they're entertaining, personally), but posting a private email publicly seems like an incredibly low move unless both parties were cool with it from the start.
They really should have done their research before attempting to recruit. They're probably way too bro'y for him to wanna work with them. See here: http://aphyr.com/posts/301-clojure-from-the-ground-up-welcom...
I get your point, but it really isn't as easy as that.

"All you need to do is file for DBA and start accepting really low-paid gigs off a site like elancer."

If you're going to bother to be on elance/odesk/etc, you'll have a public profile. To get any decent work there, you'll have to have a good public profile, which can be tarnished by any one of the people you work for making extremely outlandish and ever-changing demands, with the threat of a 'bad review' hanging over your head.

Furthermore, there are always dozens (at least) people vying for the $100 gigs - you can't just 'snap your fingers' and get one (or several). And again, even if you could get one, it's not really the sort of work you want to do (in many cases).

Your point about labeling yourself an independent contractor is, in itself, not bad, but it's partially just a smoke screen - doesn't really help pay the bills on day 1.

And even more to the point, there are a number of companies that won't hire people who've been freelance/contract for any period of time - they see it as the person being too willing to be 'disloyal' or 'job hop away' at a moment's notice.

Labelling yourself as a contractor or independent business during unemployment period is definitely one way to explain a long gap, but it's not a silver bullet.
Hmm. I feel misunderstood. Let me try to cut across what we're both talking about and see if we end up at the same place:

Brick walls have a very high level of observability. A non-bricklayer can look at a wall and tell if it fills the space it is supposed to fill, if the wall is obviously crooked or warped, if bricks are missing, and if mortar is missing between bricks. They can do all of this with very little expertise because they can physically inspect the wall and they have also seen many walls before and have internalized some norms for walls.

Compare this with a non-programmer's experience with software. All they see is the user interface, which is usually a very small part of the whole. Software has a very low level of observability.

Brick walls - typically - are also very simple systems when compared to software such as what is described in the original article. Lower complexity combined with a high level of visibility and broadly shared expectations means that lay people can make many more accurate judgements about a wall, the progress of a wall, the quality of work being done on a wall, etc. without being experts on wall building or brick laying.

This is not to take away from expert tradespeople or diminish their value. It's just a completely different situation which I believe was the intent of the original analogy.
I'm used to anonymous discussion where my ideas are considered on its own without regard to the celebrity of my character. I felt the need to become egotistical and celebrity driven by registering a pseudonymous account to express the idea that a parody/satire of the feminist movement doesn't imply attacking women and their rights.

I think it's no coincidence that both the Pope and Mujica are luxury-averse. Demonstrations of wealth in Argentina (and Uruguay, as we are almost the same country) are considered poor taste or even indecent. We even have a word for it, "Grasa" meaning "fat".

It's rather the sign of an abusive HN-specific editorial title. The op read the article way deeper than between the lines.

> You've go to to love the hackernews spin on this. No more free miles, blah, blah. Do you really think the miles were actually free? Of course they are not.

While they may not have been "free" in the strictest sense in the laws of economy, miles and cash back are a big part of savvy shoppers. I'm still shocked when I find out someone using a traditional credit card with no rewards, or worse, their debit card.

When we got to this point I don't know, perhaps I wasn't young enough, but you would be fiscally foolish not to take "advantage" of them while you can.
Miles were never free. They just used to be paid for equally by everyone--including people not using credit cards! In effect, it was a sales tax imposed by Visa and Mastercard on everyone.

This change will make the price of using a credit card more transparent to the customers and will stop non-customers from subsidizing Visa et al. It's more fair and lets the market react much more efficiently to payment processors.

This change is a net positive for the market and therefore people in general.
