Just recently returned from my honeymoon in New Zealand. We stayed in Golden Bay for a night and had some drinks and food at the Mussel Inn. Nelson was certainly one of my favorite towns.

When I was younger, It was always my intention to work remotely in NZ. I never was able to pull it off, although I got close. I never gave up the dream though, and hearing stories like this keep me motivated.
Right, but none of the author's reasons seemed to revolve around anything but his own desire to focus and work on his products. In the context of raising a family, that's hard to justify.
But what really bugs me is that all of the top level comments should be nested under one single comment labelled "silly one liners".
Again, not a blanket judgment; a blanket judgment is quite specifically when you say, "for all Xes such that Y, then Z." You could argue that there was an implied blanket judgment motivating the assertion that no one should ever use a service such that that service has a boring name; but in fact, given a choice between two equally worthy services, I choose the one with the more intelligent marketing, simply as a way of selecting for things that don't irritate me, and in some small way making the world a slightly less blearily straightforward place. And by encouraging others to also follow this maxim, I was hoping to amplify its world-shaping power further. :)

You are probably above the average.. You are smart philosophically enough to understand "the truth"; everything just looks like some silly games one on top of another, with nothing much to spends peoples life away.. right?

The thing is.. more and more people will be like you, like me.. because all those things we build.. this new world we are trying to create (or at least to manage), make us smarter..

What works for me: Try to to the things you like the most in the world, even if people dont like it; be sincere to yourself always.. be true to your inner essence..

Than these little things will grow, make your life more valuable to you..

Take the skeletons out of your closet: assume and be the guy/girl you always wanted to be, dont care about the others; just go for it..

Your spiritual side is important: try to make a connection to whatever you feel the divine is... in waht do you believe.. this helps you, or its in your way to get more hapinness? Its good to find a gravitational point that is not our own ego, speacilly for people that are not selfish and narcisistic

Look: You are normal and probably more sane the most of the people.. they "the average" are the lunatics.. dont be ashamed of it, or think you are the wrong one, because you are different..

This is from a guy who use to believe in that and lost some years and some light, to believe that "the average" were right in some way.. and are turning back to what he really believes.. a path on its own.. there is no door ready for your life.. people above average make their own destiny by being themselves and make what they believe in.. its hard.. and we must be brave.. because it means to be aside of everything and marginalized for a while..

but that is what everybody needs.. even the average.. they need people to believe in, people who make take different routes and paths, and even make theirs lifes more valuable; i hope you are one of those..

I hope this help you somehow
Sorry I'm really not seeing the contradiction. Do you mean about me spending time on a site and not heeding my own advice of turning the other way or what? Or is it me sounding like an asshole in the comment you replied to?
I used to work in this space, and you could only buy retargeting ads based on cookies. Adwords/doubleclick don't let you specify target IPs: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6322?hl=en

If you really wanted to you could do cookie syncing based on IP, but does anyone actually do that?
I don't aim to be thorough when blogging. They're just succinct little tidbits.

Of course there's more to the story, and of course it was a whole-family decision. In fact my wife kinda led the decision even more than me.

We hope to move back to Singapore when our kid is a bit older, but he's still just a baby, so I really want him to grow up outside surrounded by nature, not inside shopping malls.
> "You would only be upset because you currently work in a company with a culture that doesn't value transparency as a core value."

You don't have anywhere near the information necessary to make that claim. Honestly that came across as pretty arrogant.

I'd also argue that a company can be transparent and still understand that some people more private than others. Whether YOU would share your salary with the world isn't material - your employer shouldn't do it unless you've signed off (and I'm sure these people have if anyone involved has a shred of common sense).

I wouldn't want all my love letters and emails published. I wouldn't want my thoughts tapped and broadcast to the world. There's a line somewhere where transparency for the sake of it is either not helpful to the company or a simple invasion of privacy.
Yeah, reproducability would determine how long it will take to zoom in, but being rare should also reduce the severity.
I did read your source, I think you miss understood me, I am saying that "sexual harassment" is biased towards women, if you asked a different set of questions that was focused on general harassment you would have a much less biased report, that would show that men are too harassed when playing online games. It would be like asking a group of straight men and homosexual men if they felt they were being harassed for their sexual preferences.

Actually, under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, it's illegal for an employer to prevent employees from discussing their salaries. Not that the laws on the books are ever applied to corporations nowadays, but in a legal sense this is true.
If I were a retargeting company which did that, I'd probably keep it a secret.
> I've been amused to note that Alex Jones-sponsored gun rights rallies are vastly less likely to be harassed by cops than anything I would be involved in.

I've never been to anything remotely related to Alex Jones, but having organized and attended a number of civil rights rallies, it's probably just an issue of demographics. Cops, Sheriffs and deputies tend to be more staunch second amendment advocates, except in larger cities. Also, and bear in mind this is anecdotal, but second amendment supporters tend to be the most respectful of the police tasked with keeping the peace at the rallies, and go far out of their way to keep from making those cops' jobs more difficult. Conversely (and again, anecdotally, but with lots of experience), anti-second amendment protestors seem to be far more unruly, with a contingent (at least in Maryland) that seem intent on trying to make the cops feel bad for their ambivalence.

With regards to fourth amendment rallies I've attended, the cops are decidedly more hostile, because they likely feel like they're the target of some of the protest. Also, in my experience, most of the cops justify their own fourth amendment violations as justified, or rationalized in some other way. Surely, they trust their own instincts, and they likely don't have any problems violating the fourth amendment rights of someone __if it leads to their arrest__ for some other crime that they initially suspected them of. On top of that, as the fourth amendment is typically violated by those in power, and the cops tend to be in power, the protestors there tend to harbor animosity.

I could go on forever, but I don't think you're far off the mark, except that you drew the line between left wing and right wing, and I think you're undervaluing how much a factor police bias plays in the issue.
The goal isn't to do immediate mode, it's to implement UI in the simplest manner possible. Throwing away the DOM and reimplementing significant parts of its functionality in Canvas doesn't make life simpler.
It's not that they don't know maths, or even their total and utter lack of comprehension of even the simple basics. Many people have mental illness, broken brains of one sort or another are part of society.

It's the fact people can't immediately see this as crazy and vote it to the front page that really scares me.
As general Alexander mentioned in the 60 Minutes interview, they may collect lots of data but don't examine it or bother to look until they have a warrant or need. Kind if like what you do with your logging collection service....

As an NZer, I have the opposite feeling than the original article at the moment. After visiting a few cities that have 4-5x the populatation of my whole country I'm itching to live somewhere with such a large base of people. I'll probably end up back here in the future but as an underpopulated island nation, the combination of low(er) wages and high relative living (esp. housing) expenses + expensive imported goods is not helping at the moment.

While you can't serve it to everyone until all browsers support it, if you'd like to convert images to WebP and serve them only to supporting browsers you could use mod_pagespeed: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module

What if it didn't matter if you have all the answers right now? What if it was OK if you accepted your current situation for what it is (i.e. simply a mixture of circumstances and emotions that are subject/likely to change)? What if all of your reasons haven't even been born yet? What if it was OK for you to be where you are with no reasons whatsoever?

My point is you can start by asking yourself different questions. I noticed that your questions centered on potential negative outcomes. Try flipping that around. "What if it was OK for me to feel this way right now?" "What if I don't need to change anything within myself right now?"

Better yet, take a break from asking questions for a bit. Take a few long, deep breaths instead. I have trouble remembering this sometimes, but life goes by one moment at a time. We don't have to live it all in one breath. We don't need to bear the burden of the next 60 years of possibility in the next 60 seconds of life. Take it a step at a time.

Try to not fight the feelings you're having. It's a battle you can't win. Accept them, let them be. The more you fight them, the more they'll consume you.

Try not to be so hard on yourself. You're only human. You'll never have all of the answers.

Finally, take everything I suggested with a grain of salt. I don't know your exact situation. I'm not a professional. I only know what's helped me get through tough times. Hopefully some of it can be helpful for you too.

I second the comment re: depression. If you've never spoken to a professional about these feelings, why not give it a chance? If you have, and it didn't work, why not try someone else? If you can only do one thing, speak to a pro.

I'm happy to share my own experiences/challenges with you if it helps. If you want, email me the things you're afraid to tell others about for fear of being rejected. It's my username at my username dot com. There's always someone willing to listen with an open mind, despite what you might think. Even if it's just some random stranger from the internet :)
...like everyone who has learned C or its derivatives. It's just part of the vocabulary of the language. You could as well ask "what's a list comprehension" in Python, for example.
A good friend and co-worker died recently, worked together for 10 years. Hard worker, lived in Cali and flew out every quarter. We shared being assholes who get shit done by working hard, long, and speaking truth to power.

He died by driving fast, impatiently, killing his wife and unborn child. We shared a love of fast cars and recklessness.

His death has helped me re-evaluate. Selling (trying) my fast car, going part time to travel. Working hard for a company and dieing suddenly seems so ultimately unfulfilled.
I think you should'nt ask people to downvote that is against the etiquette, I think you will find that this study you link to Matthew's is a very biased study as it only focuses on one type of harassment (sexual), the type that women are over represented in, but then when describing the conclusion calls it harassment, but didnt actually ask the participants if they were harassed, just sexually harassed.
Well, so long as they don't fix the parsing of octal int literals that is okay. Loosing both of my favourite offhand complaints would be rather disappointing. ;)
Come off it mate. You were saved from this enduring condition and a thousand others. Have a little perspective.
And Hacker News is so much better? Any social site is going to have a mix of good and bad content.
So much existing infrastructure only supports TCP and UDP that a new protocol at that level is pretty much a non-starter. UDP is lightweight enough that you can put SCTP on top of UDP, but at that point you might as well make something optimized for that use case, which is why Google is working on QUIC.

My uncle worked for a financial services firm in the 80s. A consultant was in a computer room working on something very early in the morning and had a heart attack.

Someone discovered the guy, called 911, and went about their business. Due to some combination of bureaucratic bungling and security nonsense, the ambulance folks didn't know someone had died, and were either turned away from the building or taken to the wrong location in the building.

Long story short, the body wasn't removed until early evening. People thought he was taking a nap. I always found that so sad. The poor guy probably had a family and people who gave a shit about him, but the people around him couldn't be bothered to treat him with respect.

How can you claim pacifism if you resort to violence? Pacifism is the rejection of violence, full stop. The ambiguity lies in the definition of "violence." Tolstoy called voting, paying taxes, and engaging in commerce forms of violence, for instance. Regardless, only using physical violence in defense doesn't make you a pacifist, it just means you don't attack people.

If this comment doesn't earn a ban, there's something wrong with this community. Unbelievable.
Being the most raped sex isnt a prize to be coveted, I think he is trying to point out (while immaturely) that the stats quoted by pyrocat where not fair and where heavily biased.
>I personally am self conscious about coming off as a rich jackass when I go to my hometown and visit my high school friends who are working for minimum wage.

I agree 100%. There is a fine line to be walked between "sharing" your salary and "bragging" about your salary.

For me, I find it easy to share with people in a similar-ish scenario/career/position in life. It's not so easy to share with someone in a very different life situation, like working a minimum wage job, as you say.
I don't think this article is just about how people react to a coworker dying. It's an observation that regular presence of someone, particularly in the workplace, doesn't automatically lead the relationship past an acquaintance level. Obligatory social routine and superficial small talk might make us feel comfortable with each other, but beyond that, there might be nothing deeper there. Some of us our surrounded by familiar faces and conversations each day, while entirely disconnected and alone.
I think you err'ed in looking for something specific rather than general in this post.

Having run conventions for a decade or so now, I'll buy it, we have many of that type.
This is a great service!
Never seen that one, but I think it's cute.

Having read the article, I don't know where you gleaned that. Desiring for new copies not to be printed is not the same as wanting previous copies or "traces" of their existence to be destroyed.
I've been more than pleased with the service Coinbase provides. I have been a customer for almost three months and have bought and sold several thousand USD worth of BTC in that time.

How do you know these posts show the truth? What if these poor experiences we see posted on Hacker News are occurring at a rate of 1 in every 1000 Coinbase transactions or even 1 in 10,000 transactions? I agree that with money the error rate should be low, but BTC is the wild west.

You're taking on risk wherever you buy and sell BTC these day. As a US citizen, I'd rather take a little bit of risk with Coinbase, a US-based company supported by reputable US-based VCs, than take on the risk of sending my money to Slovenia or Japan -- not to mention the extra fees to do international wire transfers to/from those countries.

Looks like a great bunch of talks. Thanks to everyone who helped put the schedule together. The entire staff that puts on Pycon every year is all volunteer, and generally takes quite a bit of time to get it all put together.

Um, I think of violence as application of force to cause lasting or permanent injury or death.
And I tried to find the source for this very little animated GIF, but can't find any. If the author wants to be taken seriously, he needs to provide exact references. No doing so I assume attempt at manipulating people's opinions. Not nice.
The author forgot to mention The White Knight and The Militant Feminist. They also omitted the Brogrammer and the Family Man.

When I was visiting my brother for Christmas last year, my 14 year old nephew told me he was interested in coding and really wanted to learn Java and PHP. My reaction was "you clearly don't read Hacker News".
I suspect this won't be popular, but: Lucky you, Derek. You have the resources, and more important, the experience to be able to do that sort of thing.

Why am I in the US? Because I was born here.

But I don't have the resources to just fly away.

Tim Draper Wants To Split California, Turn Silicon Valley Into Its Own State
Just for perspective, the largest nuclear bomb ever detonated above ground was 50 megatons, which is 2777 times larger than the upper limit for the yield of the bomb detonated on Hiroshima. I'm not saying that the Fukushima incident has not had an ecological impact, but blaming it for effects seen in Montana is pretty wacky given that over 100 atmospheric nuclear detonations have been conducted just two states over in Nevada since the 50's, and another 900 underground!

The increasing acidity of the ocean due to the formation of carbonic acid (resulting from increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere) is a far more plausible explanation for most of the phenomena mentioned in this article. For example, the increased levels of marine life off of the coast of California might be explained by acidification in the area. The coastal waters of California are slightly less acidic than those further out from shore [1]. If pH were reduced equally both on the coast and off the cost, the effect might be to force marine life towards the coast where pH is higher.

What's really funny is that paranoia over nuclear power, which the Fukushima incident has certainly boosted, may cause nuclear power to be used less in the near future. Alternative energy sources such as solar and wind are great, but can only form a relatively small portion of a stable power-grid because we simply don't have the technology to build electrical capacitance on the levels needed to smooth out fluctuations in supply of these power sources. On-demand power sources, such as nuclear or fossil fuels, are still very important. If nuclear power is used less out of fear, fossil fuels will pick up the slack. That means more atmospheric CO2 and more ocean acidification. The end result is that this kind of article will probably do more to harm marine life than Fukushima ever did!

Judging from the article and how people are defending this line of thinking it is actually about "Not sexually harassing women" than stop harassing people, we will fix nothing when we focus on one group and say their harassment is special and is caused by special reasons.
I see what you mean. DC had more dangerous areas, but you knew that and stayed away. NYC seems to have a thinner layer of danger spread around much more of the city.
It's fantastic and under utilized as are most tools like this in the database realm. Up until recently Liquibase was the baby of one guy. Last I recall he was hired by a company and allotted time to work on it as part of the new job. Maybe this will result in more robust official docs.
When I first started working as a manager for a group of folks, my own manager insisted that if one day someone in my group didn't show up for work and there wasn't a phone call or email or a note, he said to always try to get in touch with the individual to see if everything was ok. My manager was so insistent on following this practice so I asked him why he felt so strongly about this. He said he had an experience in which he had one of his folks not show up for work - no phone call, no email, no note so he tried to reach the individual by phone. After no response given multiple attempts to reach him, by late afternoon, my boss decided to drive out to the individual's house. When he got to his house, he found the gentleman passed out in front of his house. Thankfully, this story ended up with a happy ending.
I wish every one of these requests was available to be seen, neatly organized by countries etc. Nothing like public shame to bring back to reason power-abusing government agents.
> It probably is somewhat due to our generations, but it may also be that as you age your salaries naturally will begin to diverge.

That right there. I'm nearer forty than 20, and I remember a time when I freely discussed my salary, or the price of anything I'd purchased with anyone who'd asked. Now, not so much.
That seemed like a well-intentioned article, but his story strikes me as paradigmatic though:
