So you are bored and your job has lost its luster. For that do something completely different and do it just for fun. If you work as X and even if you are good at X you will eventually get bored of X. Imagine if you had ice-cream or chocolate all the time. Eventually you will hate eating anymore of it. The thing is to do something you like or you feel you need but do it only for yourself and not because you have or need to.

Stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself what you like to do. I, for example, started exercising more after trying it and stopping because of life matters. Choose something that you like and make you feel you're experiencing a new thing. Don't learn another programming language like everyone on HN is suggesting. You know that saying about when you're a hammer...

Just because you are good at something doesn't mean that it's enough to fulfill you. It will make you proud of yourself for a while but then it'll start wearing off. You need something that makes you feel in touch with your purely human nature that is different from your daily job. How about painting, cooking, exercising, stamp collection (a dying hobby), reading poetry (I won't do that but you might), theater, dancing lessons, gardening, sightseeing, photography, magic tricks. Don't pick something like your job.

I also recommend watching this video where he demos the operating system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpujlg-XhEs

Losethos's real name is Terry Davis. His video had me awestruck, laughing (he can be pretty funny and relatable), and just all-around amazed at the man's sheer brilliance. I cannot begin to fathom the dedication that it must have taken to create such a piece of software, especially in the face of constant rejection from people on the internet because of his schizophrenia.
What's the use case of that?
Well, I'm talking about the US, where I have always had coffee served with dessert, not after it. And of course the coffee should be decent, even pretty good. I'm just saying it doesn't make economic sense to serve great coffee unless you're intending to focus on that as a restaurant.

PR executive apologises after losing job over Twitter ‘joke’
Wow, she only had 200 followers and she ended up getting fired for that small thing? That's ridiculous. I really need to watch what I post online.
Meh, I read the whole thing hoping to find something interesting, but came away empty.

Take this nugget: "Decent people who are being driven out of housing by rich founders from the last cycle who drive up home prices and rents in a city always short on affordable housing."

Umm... no. I live here. What's different this time is that a lot of the sales are happening to foreign (mainly, Chinese) buyers. http://blog.sfgate.com/ontheblock/2013/10/29/chinese-investo...

Yes, there are Twitter/FB/Google millionaires buying up property; but there are also a lot of foreign buyers. Walk the streets of Nob Hill, Marina, Cole Valley, etc. and you'll be surprised at the number of foreign languages you hear.
Any startup ideas on cleaning the Ocean? I guess no country wants to pay for this yet?
Yes, the engines are always being pushed towards higher efficiency. They do lack any sort of innovation when compared to the KERS system, though. But the NASCAR Cup car V8 is just an amazing piece of machinery. It operates at 7K RPM and above for extended periods of time, and until 2013, had to use a carburetor. Which is mind blowing, given the amount of issues that such fuel system would bring into such scenario.

At home I have a NZ$150 single-boiler espresso machine and a $80 conical burr grinder. I buy 50g bags of coffee for $10 from the local coffee roaster, which works out to around $0.50 per coffee, around half the price of the nespresso pods.

It all works rather well.
hmm, I would have thought that's exactly what it implied. Isn't the root 'prevail', which is more or less 'to win'? That would suggest a majority.
The Corvette is a significantly lighter vehicle due to its fiberglass body.

I consistently got 19mpg or less in my 335i. They've improved the mileage a bit in newer versions, but not much. An M3 would be worse of course.

Could they, legally, do anything but deny? Shareholders could sue, customers could sue, I could probably sue... seems like a strongly worded legally air-tight denial is their only practical option. Plus it might be illegal to divulge classified info
Pen register metadata was deemed not protected by the Supreme Court, but privacy rights still protect the content of most communications from seizure without a warrant.

It all comes down to reasonable expectation: to send a letter, or make a phone call, you obviously have to tell the phone company the details of who you're calling. Therefore the information is not considered to have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Whereas you don't need to convey the content of your email or voice conversations to them for the service to operate - you could scramble your voice, or encrypt your email, and it wouldn't change a thing.
So much for "you aren't liable for fraudulent activity".

I'm uncertain to what extent I can agree that agile and labor unions are similar. They have some superficial features in common, but I think the fundamental structure is radically different:

1. A unionized factory worker performs the same sequence of operations over and over to achieve a standardized type of output. An agile software developer is generally combining operations in new ways: if it's the same thing over and over again, your developer is not very good at figuring out how to reuse code.

2. The nature of the employer relationship is different, at least in today's economy. A typical software engineer is reasonably hard to replace and can apply skills at a variety of alternative employers. The best case for a labor union is when the opposite is true.

3. I think the causal relationship is reversed. The reason that agile is adopted is not to protect programmers from off-shoring or long hours (typical union pitches). It is adopted because the firm is willing to believe that the co-located team with decent hours is a better deal. The union/management relationship may be starkly adversarial; the agile-team/management relationship far less so.

So if there's a UCD fad going around, I don't see it as capable of disrupting the "agile" ecosystem's employees' lifestyle the same way that some new process or external shock could disrupt a unionized manufacturing ecosystem's employees -- not unless it really fundamentally changes how a coherent piece of software ends up finding itself structured, and a couple of wireframes and the like aren't going to do that.
I never intended to use the Corvette as an example of technical innovation. If you read my original post, you will see that I simply used it as an example of showing that smaller engine does NOT equal a more efficient engine by default.

I do agree with the fact that the C5 V8 layout is quite old, though the actual engine was designed from scratch in 1997. It has it's problems, but it's a far more reliable engine then it's competitors. For instance, that same friend I mentioned recently had BMW purchase his 2008 M3 from him because at 76k miles the entire engine seized due to lack of lubrication to the main bearings. I know because I was the attorney representing him :) This is not an isolated event either, the previous generation of the M3 engine was recalled for the same issue, and this generation is going to be as well, as it's a significant issue. I ride a BMW K1200R bike, so I am not by any means a BMW hater, BTW. I am just pointing out that sometimes more complicated engines are not necessarily more economical or better.

That goes for the leaf spring suspension on the C5 as well. The "leaf spring" suspension in the C5 shares absolutely nothing with the leaf springs in a pickup truck. The C5 has a transverse leaf spring that springs both sides of the axels. It's a genius solution that saves on weight overall weight and significantly reduces unsprung weight. [1] Leaf spring, the way it's implemented in the C5, is superior to a coil spring, regardless of the stigma that the name "leaf spring" carries with it. And what's so wring with balsa wood?

So, to make my self clear, I am not arguing that F1 lacks innovation, it lacks diversity of ideas.

You know, thinking about it, I think Jack is the first crazy person I have seriously dealt with at length on the Internet. Oh, I've seen plenty of crazy people online - I've laughed at Timecube, I've looked over HN's own resident Losethos (with a sense of 'there but for the grace of god'), I've watched other people argue with crazy people - but I think I've either never actually dealt with them or quickly flipped the bozo bit on them and disengaged. Under normal situations, on normal topics, I have no reason to talk with them at length and grandiloquence is unjustified....

At least part of the problem here is that in the crazy mirror land of the blackmarkets and Bitcoin in general, sanity is hard to distinguish from insanity, there really are key bits of information random parties can have, not everyone talks straight, blackmail does payoff, and there really are hidden millionaires & billionaires walking around in plain sight. (As an example of the mirrors of insanity, I invite anyone to read the Silk Road 2 forums and parse the SSBD/Inigo/Libertas, the DPR2 key rotation, the Cirrus announcement, Raoul's quoted message from DPR2, the posts by Defcon, the 'accidental' access to the admin forum, Ormsby's comments, Oracle's insinuations, the Tormarket quote from the vendor forum, etc etc etc, and parse it into a single coherent sane narrative. And consider what Satoshi's estimated fortune is at any moment.)
It's not all that different, 3,245 lb for the C5 vs 3,483 lb for the M3. This is why I used it as a counterpoint example.
This blog post surely made me thinking. It's very well written but I hope it doesn't become a full reality (although some of it is already true). "Today if you are not a founder, you’re not worthwhile" -- That's pretty bold statement here and can't be applied to every field.
While I don't follow either NASCAR or F1 it's my impression that NASCAR has much less focus on technology development. They strive to keep all the cars technically identical, so that races are close and are won or lost almost entirely on the basis of driver and crew skills.

F1 I think is much more about who can innovate technically within some parameter limits (of course in addition to having skilled drivers/crew).
I was actually comparing in that example the V8 M3 from 2008. But point taken on the driving style, that plays a role as well.

Well I hope he's right, because I would love for it to be easier to hire good engineers, but there's a bit too much unsubstantiated hyperbole here. Specifically, why in the world would this be worse than the fallout from the first dot-com bubble with its explosion of ill-advised IPOs? Today there are a whole lot more people with more actual skills employed by startups with much smaller amounts of investment, and much more mature markets at play.

Is it going to sink the economy that a lot of 22-year-old kids came out to the valley and naively blew through 200k of angel money building an instagram clone? No more so than the tens of thousands wannabe actors waiting tables in LA.
Stop thinking about programming and start thinking about products. Perhaps there's another company in your area, or remote, that's solving a problem or providing a service you'd like to help build.

I don't give a rat's ass about technology, or which hot javascript framework or build tool I should be using. That stuff is boring.

I care about building products.
So, it's optimized for revenue, like most things in life :) Fair point.

If you are taking unique and extraordinary steps to protect yourself, you're actually paying twice - with the effort to protect yourself and the money for your bank to protect you. This sort of action isn't meaningful unless it's collective. Even then, do you think businesses would lower prices or simply take home more money?
Rape is covered up every week in the US military, apparently at a massive scale.

Increasing fuel efficiency is not the only goal. They also want to keep costs down without reducing the sporting interest. Restricting for formula severely reduces the incentive to spend huge sums of money, which not all of the teams have, while also keep the competition tight.

It's really annoying, for the reasons you mentioned.

Apart from banks and online shopping sites, many offline loyalty programs (restaurants, massage, beauty ...) use mobile number as a unique identifier.

Having said that, I've noticed over the last few months that people I meet are more likely to request/offer a WeChat (威信) username than a phone number. Businesses are embracing WeChat for marketing-related activity, but I don't yet see any indication that WeChat will become the primary mechanism for transactional notices.
Keep going at it if you're enjoying your progress. It's good to see that you're getting the hang of things like border-radius and the display property after only a week.

The biggest issue I have with this right now is that the background image is around 3.4mb, which is just way too heavy for a web asset. A good exercise would be to figure out how you can bring that down. Compression can help, but sacrifices quality if you take it too far. Downscaling would be a reasonable thing to do, given that there will be very few screens that use a 5120px width. There are strategies you can use in cases where the screen is unusually large, like fading the edges of the image to a solid color, or fading the edges to transparent and placing the non-repeating background over an element with a repeating background.

Y'know, I completely understand your want to get the information out, to solve the puzzle, to unlock the mystery of why this guy thinks whatever it is he thinks. I don't have a moral, ethical, or any other kind of problem with that, nor do I think that any reasonable court would hold you accountable for anything of the sort (that said, courts are seldom reasonable, so beware)... what I do worry about though, is the idea that by even vaguely admitting anything even remotely of the sort that you might be Satoshi could get you implicated in something else.

This line, for example

> I think that you do not have a solid case that I am Satoshi, and that you are hoping I will pay you a large sum

I read it how you meant to say it, but thinking through every episode of Law & Order, Matlock, et al that I can remember, the guy who says "Oh yeah? Prove it. You got nothing on me copper" is always the guilty party. In the absence of anybody knowing who the real Satoshi Nakamoto is, let's say the feds decide to arrest somebody, and this happens into their field of view, so they settle on you, and you find yourself in front of a jury of your peers with a document that, if read the right way by the prosecutor, makes you sound like Bugsy Malone.

I'm sure it's a remote possibility, and I'm sure that there are plenty of other happenings in your life to provide you ample alibi -- or at least, I hope there are. As a telecommuter that lives in the suburbs, I probably get out less than I should... I don't know how well that represents you, but I can imagine a scenario in which my alibi is the ever-faithful "I was at home. Yeah, my wife was there the whole time".

I'm sure things'll be fine, but be careful. Innocent people do go to prison all the time, especially in America. We damn near pride ourselves on that fact.
I think the sheer number makes that logistical impossibility in the short term. It's in inconvenience for Chase members, but I think they are taking the right actions here to make things as easy as possible for all parties involved.
We're a long way from Star Trek style replicators, not least because food is rather more than just information.
> Food is fundamentally different from the arts you mentioned. Some people may facetiously say that they can't live without visual arts, or music. To say you cannot live without food -- that is a true statement.

I fail to see the difference.

Nutrition is a solved problem. Just drink soylent.

So we are left to talk about the art side of food - taste, smell, feel, touch, look. Artistic composition of ingredients to create a pleasurable meal.

> A competent home cook will not miss out on the food of any great restaurant (bar the cutting edge, maybe?) as long as he/she is willing to learn a few tricks (with the restaurant book craze, there are no more secrets) and pay a bit more for groceries (thanks, globalisation).

But it's hard to reproduce food from recipe.
We need:

- better frozen/packaged foods

- detailed recipes

- food 3d printers?
