Although it could be classed as procrastination. What I ought to be doing is so incredibly dry that I need to give myself a break most of the time and only work on it when I feel inspired. Case in point, I am supposed to be specifying notation and semantics for tensor operators in the multiparadigm programming language that I have been working on for many years, but yesterday I really didn't feel like it so chose instead to write about the problems Nintendo were having and how they should have built on the success of the Wii with a familiar interface based upon a pair of wireless Nunchuks, rather than alienate the casual market with a cumbersome touchscreen that they couldn't expressively gesticulate with. This led me to hunt for images and YouTube videos to support my argument. Doing this from time to time has improved my writing ability:

I don't feel there is any merit in Facebook / Twitter, but then I haven't got any friends / social life. I suppose I should have a blog for what I write in various fora, but I'd have even more trouble believing that anyone was reading it and I may start making less of an effort with my writing as a result.

Really anything I do that distracts me from boredom stops me slipping into depression. Luckily, I have no work deadlines...
^^ This comment is misinformation.

More than 10 regional administrations are currently under control of protestors and there are mass protests in most regional centers in Ukraine.

This is a map of protests.

Legend:
Red means regional administration buildings are under control of protestors.
Pinkish are regions where protestors block the administration buildings of were unsuccessful at capturing them.
Brownish? means mass protests are occurring.
You're right that they don't own their home. The key is that they feel entitled to living there anyway, as the commie leftists whose ideology defines the city's politics do not respect capital, like the capital that goes into building homes, or the right of the owner of that capital to make a profit. Rather, the landlord is treated as an invalid actor and a cartoonish villain.

That's why there's rent control, it's also why the housing stock is so poorly maintained, and one important reason why no one's built middle-class housing in the city for decades (though other anti-development sentiment also exists).
Check out bwm-ng
Yeap. bwm-ng > iftop for most uses. If there's a performance problem, iperf is the old standby and even works with 10gbe links.
(b) figure out a way to lower rent (and in turn tax revenue).

This isn't mysterious or hard, and I've written comments about it before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7073079). There are two ways to lower the cost of something: increase the supply or decrease demand. It's quite easy to build more units on a given parcel of land but SF has mostly chosen not to do so (http://www.theatlanticcities.com/housing/2013/10/san-francis...).

The real problem starts with voters, since they're the ones electing the mayor, city council, and other officials, who respond to voter preferences against building stuff but who also deal with voters complaining about high rents. They're in a situation similar to the ones Bryan Caplan describes in The Myth of the Rational Voter, which is a fascinating book that deserves not just to be read but reread (http://www.amazon.com/The-Myth-Rational-Voter-Democracies/dp...).
> Even the 128k Mac had mostly standards-based connectors...DB-9 connector...

By the way it's a DE-9 connector (a DB-9 would be huge with lots of empty space). I know many people say "DB-9" when they mean the smaller connector, but then again many people say "narrowband"as the opposite of "broadband" when they really mean "baseband" -- just trying to make up words to sound sophisticated. Yes, even Apple marketing...
I didn't get the protests until I realized that the higher rent is dramatically changing the character of the city. You won't find cheap ethnic food or eclectic family run businesses much longer if The valley keeps exporting its housing problem.
It's now obvious you are taking this build way too literally. If he wanted a Mac Pro he would have bought one. This build is not cost saving if you figure in the labor to invent every element in the complete unit. He did it as a novelty and an homage. No it not as well build as the real thing.
> meanwhile, in Ukraine...

Agreed, the hyperbole in the headline and text is rather distasteful, considering what's happening in Ukraine (and Egypt, and...).
That is probably the most condescending thing I've seen on hacker news (and I've seen a lot of that).

The protesters may be wrong in their methods and they are probably fighting for a losing cause. But to say people made bad decisions in their life because they are not earning twice or thrice the national median income is just ignorant.

You compare SFO wit Chicago. But I am guessing the high earners living in the city also work there, unlike SFO where they commute OUT to work.

There are no easy solutions to this problem. But please do not straight up dismiss it.

Disclaimer: I do not live in the region so I have no idea about the specifics. I just felt the parent comment was wrong.
Right, so everyone who is in opposition to Google is a "commie leftist". What, is this McCarthyist America again?
PHP, MySQL dev is my main job. I have a lot of experience coming into small businesses and refining their processes to increase efficiency and increase (double in one case) revenue.
Due to the Internet being anonymous, it seems much easier for people to just dismiss people outright. Making dismissive comments about women in the workplace is difficult when you have to actually deal with the fallout of your actions. Meanwhile, the Internet enables everyone to just say whatever comes to mind.

I live in Arizona. When someone cuts me off on the freeway, my instinctive response is to look at the license plate. If the license plate is from a northern state, my reaction is "Fucking snowbirds. Goddamn." I'm in my car, and I'm just reacting - I'm not thinking. Five seconds of thought calms me down, but until that happens, I'm making a pretty nasty comment about the elderly.

The Internet is similar to my car - it's a consequence-free space where people can just say things without thinking. The difference is that unlike my car, where I could spout off the worst racial profanities I can come up with, the Internet actually has people reading the posts.

As for Internet communities being devoid of women, I can think of exactly one general community that has women. It has three things that I think are vital - a small community, a draconian moderation team, and a userbase that calls out bullshit very quickly.
"Unwilling to accept" was meant in the sense "doesn't recognize the issues even exist", not "unwilling to let the issues go unsolved".

He's been explicitly not willing to consider issues I'm talking about. In fact, he's quite happy to live in a system which enables and produces conditions which enable the existence of proprietary software. He's never been working to change those issues. In fact, the concept of copyleft, the mechanism it relies on, is firmly rooted in the status quo. You say it yourself, it uses restrictive copyright laws to enforce "openness", but the crucial point is that it's an openness with a severely limited scope. It does absolutely zero to change society in any meaningful, fundamental way. The very act of relying on capitalist state legal system to force people to be "open" serves only to further legitimize that very system which makes possible, even desirable, for things like proprietary software to exist. The GPL isn't even a subversive hack of copyright law--the law was meant to enable authors to put almost any kind of conditions on the use and distribution of their works, as they please. It's the purpose of copyright law all along to enable things like the GPL. The fact that it's highly unusual to release works under such conditions is beside the point. Stallman almost autistically only sees his most immediate grievance, the incidental fact that software can be restrictive to its users, but is completely blind to the actual fundamental social causes of the issue. So no, the GPL is not in any meaningful way successful at actually changing society, the whole concept is fundamentally conformant to existing socio-economic conditions.
It must be tough, doing your internship, dealing with all these bros that are making apps and giving them away for free and calling them whatever they want.

You need to reevaluate your perspective.

There are people starving to death, dying of cancer, mass riots in the Ukraine as we speak and this is to you, I quote, "literally the worst part of my day".
You should get your news about the U.S. from somewhere other than hn, /r/politics or RT.
Fuck it, let other people worry about the extinction of humanity -- they can have the kids. The genetic differences between all of us are pretty minor anyway, so one's as good as another.

Who knows who Aristotle's kids were anyway?
Agreed, and I haven't found a need/problem that is solvable for around $100k a year. I've asked this question in several evolutions in several places and come-up flat. Other than "we need more customers" I haven't found idea extraction to be effective for me. Maybe I need to refine my listening skills.

Another reason to have video+audio inside and out of a brick & mortar.

The other thing is to live stream a backup to somewhere out-of-reach of local & country jurisdictions. Because if you don't provide your own reliable evidence, you're going to get fucked.

Sometimes I put my laptop inside of the couch, my laptop battery in the wardrobe, my laptop mouse in a drawer in the kitchen so it takes a good couple of minutes to assemble all of this stuff.

From the facts that today's Sunday and I'm commenting on HN one can deduce it didn't work too well for me.

Edit: correction
As I recall it, Netflix's Immanent Demise was overblown in the first place. They faced a couple of challenges and stumbled for a couple of quarters, and Wired rushed to declare them Walking Dead. They failed to keel over dead on schedule, and now apparently Wired, which just isn't much for middle ground, declare them the inevitable winners of a battle that has hardly even started yet.

This is filler; they are no more inevitable now than they were doomed a year ago. It's still a rapidly changing landscape, they still own a lot of the territory, and it's still very difficult to guess the future. (My only guess is a negative one; the market is not stable with every content company owning their own streaming service, because consumers are not going to pay 15 bills a month for video content, no matter how cheap they are. Someone's going to aggregate, somehow. My guess about the how is something more like an Amazon hybrid model of subscription + optional premium content, but Netflix is putting up a good fight on the subscription-only side, so.... shrug.)
I like your thought process. I guess the $100k mark was just to get ideas flowing. I would like to aim for $100M, but I can't think of a product or service people demand that would achieve that revenue (at least not within my skillset)
Try wordy.com. Even though I'm a native English speaker I use them to review my blog posts. Their pricing is reasonable for an on-demand editor and you can pick your editorial team.
Yes SSL or GPG is nice and provides some level of security, but think of the more fundamental problem: you're installing new software from a group of people you probably don't know, it's going to be a leap of faith either way. What you talk about are technical measures that in no way address the social problem of establishing trust in the people making those signatures.
people who've seen the place they lived their whole life slowly push them out, even though they're still needed there.

But they're clearly not still needed there - otherwise demand for their services would be high enough that they would be able to fetch a market price high enough to allow them to compete in the housing markets.

The big fishes need the small ones to survive

Let me ask a tough question: why do these big fishes need the small ones? What exactly makes the small ones so essential? To make coffee? To staff checkouts? If demand for these arguably location-limited services is so high, then a shortage of suitably qualified labourers will result in a price increase until demand and supply equilibrate. But I haven't heard of any protests by high-wage SF residents at their inability to procure the services they desire, so things seem to be ticking over. No ham-fisted government intervention necessary.

Your only problem here is if you think that successful people have some sort of obligation or self-interest to continually devolve income to support the less successful. But that's a new conversation.
>>If you can't afford that, then perhaps you didn't make very good choices in your life (aka didn't make enough money to obtain what you want) and you should try and find a way to achieve that goal without inflicting pain (stress, wasted time, etc.) on others.

This is the most insensitive, privileged comment on this issue yet.
All The Best PTC Sites In One Place
I will confirm that you are incorrect.
I agree they can't fill their pipeline alone. Yet the studios have Netflix by the gonads since the studios control who gets to see what when.

You can see this from Netflix's crappy selection of streaming videos compared to their selection of DVDs. Not to mention that films mysteriously appear and disappear from the streaming library due to license expirations.

No way Netflix would want to do that on their own.
Both The New Testament & The Koran (Qur'an) are listed.
LLVM has their own ARMv8/AArch64 backend that is unrelated to Apple's. This backend, as far as I understand, does not target Apple's modified conventions and file formats for iOS. A patch was provided for this, and as far as I understand it was not merged. The patch was ignored on the mailing list, and even came with the caveat attached "I'm not sure if the llvm maintainers want the patch given the previous message that there's going to be an official patch set from apple to support this, but here is mine."

http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-September/06...

For further evidence of this, we can look to Haskell: Haskell currently has been unable to target iOS's ARM64 architecture because of this part of the compiler not being open source. It is precisely these kinds of ripple effects that Stallman is concerned with: he would argue that by supporting LLVM the community set themselves up for a situation where Apple was able to later hoard valuable changes while still getting the benefit of an army of people fixing bugs in their compiler for free.

> Also in "Build Settings", change "Architectures" to "Standard Architectures (armv7, armv7s)" (as opposed to "(including 64-bit)") as Apple hasn't yet merged Arm64 support into the LLVM source that we'd need to fully support 64bit iOS devices. The code will still run wonderfully on the 5S/iPad Air/mini Retina in 32bit mode.

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompilin...

Honestly, it is as if you just saw "ARM64", did a Google search, took the first hit, and decided "that's enough research for today"... :(. Your citation is from over a year ago, long before all of this happened, and is not relevant. I specifically stated in my comment that the issue was with relation to the "ARM64" backend as it targets "iOS", not the general "AArch64" backend as it could be used to target other platforms or operating systems. This is a critical distinction when talking about Apple.
OK, I'm sure you will nitpick about what I'm going to say, but the following are pretty decent alternatives: ASUS Zenbook UX301, Dell XPS 15, HP Spectre 13t-3000 Ultrabook, Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus, Toshiba Kirabook.
They are all not perfect, but credible alternatives. Feel free to discuss.
Nokia is still trolling VP8/VP9.
I'm a software engineer who lives in San Francisco, and pretty much agree with everything you say in your response, pavanky. No disclaimer :-)
"atop" can do it to some degree. When you run atop interactively, it uses the process accounting facility to find out not what is running exactly when it takes a snapshot of the system, but also what processes started and exited since the last refresh interval.

Installing atop will also (depending on your distro etc.) set it up to snapshot the system state every 600 seconds. If you run "atop -r" you can review that legacy old data from today or an older day, and switch between the 10-minute snapshot with t and T.

Personally i like "sar" for quick text only overview (sysstat package). Once enabled you have a 10 minute snapshot of a huge amount of performance metrics (e.g. sar -r for memory, sar -b for disk). Of course, it's even better if you use something to collect them centrally (I signed up for DataDog which takes very little effort to integrate compared to rolling your own stuff).
The thing I find interesting about attacking the Google buses is that South Bay/Peninsula companies aren't really the problem. What's changed in the last 5 - 7 years is how many startups are in San Francisco. So it's the abundance of well paid jobs in the City (along a little with the ability to work remotely) that's dramatically changed the situation. That's why there wasn't this sort of intense dynamic in the 90's up to the dot com bust. The Google buses are more just salt on the wounds. Even if they stopped it wouldn't change the dynamics very much.
However, I understand the source of the frustration. Of course, like all markets, the problem may solve itself over time. After all, many of the unique aspects of SF that draws tech workers there or stay there will get priced out of the market making it much less appealing.
Two things:

1) They want Google to have to pay the city a reasonable fee to operate buses.

2) It's easy to say, "they're renting and have no right to live there." To throw people out because they no longer make enough money to keep up with skyrocketing rent costs is to say that you care more about money than community. It's very close minded and expressly business oriented to think that there's no reason people should have living situation security.
Setting up an Apache Aurora and Mesos cluster with Vagrant
If they do not own where they live (and chose to rent) then they don't OWN their home and in turn have no right to live there. Rather, it makes much more sense that they should live somewhere within their means. If they are angry about that, it seems to me that they are just throwing a fit.

Ah, it's clear that you're being a little small-minded and looking at things at a micro-level, at the scale of the person. In startup terms, be more disruptive, think 30,000ft, not 6'.

An argument like the one you mentioned above is one of complacency and inaction that originates around a tautology. "If they can't afford it, they shouldn't be there." = "If they don't like the status quo, they shouldn't protest the status quo." Other similar arguments could be formulated; "If you don't like the NSA, move to a different country", "If you don't have high speed internet because you can't pay $200/mo for fiber, you should cope with slow internet."

Note that the arguments I give are not actually constructive criticism or logical arguments, but tautological loops that leave people in positions of complacency.

I will offer that the better position to take is: "We should all have inexpensive high-speed internet. How can we get there?" "The USA should not spy on its citizens. What can we do to change that?" And correspondingly: "We should have a stable and healthy housing situation for all, what can we do to change this?"

Now, it sounds like you most certainly don't agree with that last question, since you mention:
It's in the cities interest to keep the rent/cost per home as high as possible and in turn keep the tech people around.

I wonder if you feel the same way about the USA: "It's in the US's interest to keep the rent/cost per home as high as possible and in turn keep the high-income individuals around"?
So why not do consulting? If you can show those results and replicate them for enough clients, you'll make money.
Allow me to correct a slight but significant misconception. If you get a program licensed under the AGPL, and it already has a facility for users of the program (including remote web users) to get the source code, you cannot remove this feature.

Note well that this does not force you to implement this feature if it does not already exist.
Sounds like you were at Davos while Kyiv, Damascus, Cairo, etc.

If the city really wanted to stop the rising rent they could just implement rent-control, and do it on a block by block basis, so you don't have the same issues that exist in NY.
