Yes, it gets complex fast in collaborative setting. To my understanding, there are two robust approaches to collaborative editing:

- git-style 3-way-merge

- Google Wave -style operational transform

If somebody is experienced on the topic, I'd love to learn more about different approaches. Also, it would be awesome to have these as an open source DB projects (well, we have git) or even offered as IaaS.
So let's say tax is 35% -

$413 / 40 = $10.30/hr + 35% = $14/hr of your pre-tax income going to rent.

That's still an absurd amount of money being spent elsewhere if you're earning $31/hr (pre-tax) or approx $20/hr post 35% tax.
It doesn't directly answer your question, but I don't think AWS has support staff -- just engineers that answer issue tickets.

Would you be interested in a service that takes your paper drawing and does step 4 and 5, in Autocad and gives you the results within 24 hours?

Cost would be at $10 - $15 depending on house size.
Still better than various hidden internal bleeds. Overly damaged limbs can sometimes be removed, and torn flesh can sometimes be cauterized.

I'm sure that where a well-designed hollowpoint tore open organs irreparably, there'd be no reason to use this technique.

Through-and-throughs and knife wounds are still reasonably common, to my understanding...
What's your plan when all the minimum wage workers leave SF, because nobody in their right mind should live there for minimum wage? Who will clean your office building's bathrooms? Who will wash dishes at the restaurants? Seems to get those workers back...you'll have to pay more?
I'd expect it to depend on the permissions of the user restoring or deleting the groups.

Under complete presumption: Bob is an HR member while Sally is a Manager. Why? The ability to manage entire groups should be left to people higher up in the administration chain where individual users should be delegated to HR or other staff.

Bob should have permissions to manage users but not groups. Sally should have permissions to manage both. If Bob deletes a user, then Sally deletes the group, there should be no reason that Bob should be able to anything outside his domain. The group should not be restored and Bob should be given a clear, 'plain English' reason why he can't do such an action.

If both Sally and Bob are managers of a group and said situation occurs, no group should be restored when Bob restores a user. Only a readable error message should occur. In fact no data to be restored should be there in the first place unless it has been backed up or cached.

What is a possible solution to this logic?

1.) You could implement an optional backup system. All deletes are final in the context of the action. Think of a common tree structure: if no main branch is there to support a twig then no twig can hang. No restores via users can be performed until the group has been restored. The deleted data could be stored in a cache until certain parameters are met; once these are met the data is deleted (IE: Recycle Bin)

2.) Users could be restored belonging to a default group. If a recently deleted member of a recently deleted group needs to be restored, they could be assigned to a default 'holding' group or other similar group with restricted permissions. This retains all specific user data which is not lost and by default the user will not be given extraneous or extra permissions. They can then be assigned to an appropriate group.

3.) Removing a group does not affect users within it. This is the opposite of a tree structure. This is analogous to Linux group and user permissions. A group can be assigned to users so they can access a resource. They are not interconnected in any way other than their usage to control permissions. Users can be removed and restored at will and so can groups. No conflicts of hierarchy are incurred.

In summary, restoring an individual resource should never restore the controlling body without given consent. This would create a lot of problems if it did.
No way. I absolutely want to know how my users are interacting with my sites and site speed is definitely one of the analytic numbers that I look at whenever new builds go out. We test this stuff of course, but dealing with prod loads and usage patterns (how do you know what they are without analytics?) is not something that it is feasible for us to do.
The collective delusion on this problem is not only that the rent is expensive, its that the housing you get is of low quality. For all the "High salaries" in tech, it's insane to see people in their 30's sharing apartments like if it were a college dorm.
I wish this fact were more prominent, so that this news wouldn't dissuade those who are interested in non-fluffy ideas as much.
>(1) Sally deletes an employee record
>(2) Bob deletes that employee's department

I would argue that a good design would actually prevent you from deleting important records like these. i.e. when Bob clicks delete, it just marks the object as deleted and it stops showing up in reports/interfaces. Then maybe you have something clean it up 90 days later or something.
Most urban/non-military gunshot injuries are from pistols, which have a fairly negligible temporary cavity since they're relatively low velocity (order of 1000fps, vs. 2500-3000fps for a rifle round). Plus, they're often expanding ammunition (hollowpoints, etc.) which do more direct tissue damage.

Military rifles, firing FMJ ammunition, do have a huge temporary/cavitation trauma vs. direct trauma (unless they hit bone).

Among vulnerability research people, TAO is practically slang for "the branch of NSA that hacks into Chinese computers". Robert Graham comes from those circles. I think that's what he's trying to evoke by referencing TAO.
For stable business you normally look at a P/E multiple of 10. So in your case it will be around the $700k mark. However, if it is growing, and growing quickly, then $3 - to $4 mil is possible.
1. The population of reasonably close southern suburbs (let's say the entire San Mateo County) is actually less than that of San Francisco proper by ~100k people.

2. Caltrain is linked to Muni metro at 4th/King as well as many bus lines. It isn't that hard to get in.

3. Bart goes straight into downtown and offers stations closer than Caltrain for at least a third of San Mateo County's people.

4. The southern and western parts of San Francisco are just as cheap, if not cheaper, than San Mateo county's average. (indeed if you check padmapper, you can see that there is more "cheap housing" available in SF than in San Mateo County.

5. The density of much of San Francisco, especially the outer Western and Southern areas remains low. (somewhere between San Mateo County suburban cities and Brooklyn)
A business making 120k a year with a net of 70k a year is only worth 210k. Think 3x net. How many of the 600k are paid users if you have 40k uniques per day? If it's all as rev than it's lower than 3x.
In your analogy, what dog got what cookie for jumping through what hoop? From context it would seem you're saying that Schmidt recieved the email with the smiley as a "reward". It wasn't sent to him though, but to some HR person at Apple (probably the one who escalated the issue to Jobs).

London's affordability problems seem primarily due to rich people from non-UK buying property there (due to stability and ~zero property tax, tiny fixed council tax) to park assets, potentially of dubious origin. They often are left vacant.

That's fairly distinct from SF's problem (lots of people wanting to live there, but artificially constrained supply, both construction limits and rent control)

I don't agree. I realized a intranet content /document management system with Drupal 6 a couple of years ago in just few months. It was used then by 500 users with great results and I used available modules except for one that I hacked together for integrating authentication with lob webapp.
I'm not a developer (sysadmin) even though I know some coding and I could not have deployed it with all those features in the same time developing it from scratch with php (or any other languages).
The most of the time I spent was trying to "port" the designer's photoshop draft in a Drupal theme (it would have been better to have an external guy/company do it). Rest of the time was finding the right modules (there are too many on the site) and then understanding the pain point of the previous system can thinking something better (but that analysis part should happen with any technology involved )
This is great! I have been using regexr for many years and I would highly recommend it to anyone starting out with regular expressions. I am surprised this has not picked up traction here...

Until I read the project description, I wondered if somehow that radial representation included a whole range of contributed heartbeats. And that the word "one" was a comment on it being something that unites all living people.

I wonder if a huge range of people around the world did it, if there might be some interesting data to mine regarding differences from one region to another, or by occupation, age and so on.
tax knocks $31.71/hour to roughly $23/hour in CA, and the majority of people we're discussing don't make nearly $70k/year (31.715240 = 65,956)

if you make, say, $20/hour you'll struggle to afford $1k/mo rent plus a reliable car.

20 * 52 * 40 = $41,600/year gross

that gets you 2,856.56 / month (no ca tax yet) [1]

2,856.56 * 12 = $34,278/year

you pay 1,360.28 + 8% of anything over $39,384 [2], so

1,360.28 + 0.08 * (41600 - 39384) = 1537

so (34278 - 1537)/12 = $2,728/mo

You really oughtn't pay more than 1/3 of your income for housing, but since that gets you nothing around here, not even in epa, you're looking at maybe being able to afford $1100/mo in rent. $2200 gets you a pretty basic 2 bed/2 bath in a safe neighborhood in the peninsula (source: I manage an apartment building). Knock off $450 for a dirt cheap car (car + insurance + a bit of savings for maintenance + gas).

So $2728 less rent less transportation and you're down to roughly $1178. And our hypothetical employee hasn't eaten, saved money, gone on a date, paid a medical bill, purchased clothes or glasses, or even gotten internet access or a phone.

So yeah, pretty much just scraping by. I'd be pretty impressed if someone had $500 left after the above list.

All you need to do is ensure that the undo option is highly visible (just like Gmail's; I've never caused irrevocable damage while using their web client).
Oh I see what you're saying now...to my knowledge we never had a feature like that, unfortunately I think it would be fairly expensive to implement the way our data is structured right now (it's optimized for looking up playlist -> songs not the other way around), but I can definitely see the appeal of a feature like that. I could see us precomputing a list of playlists to check out per song and applying some quality metrics to them...precomputing would preclude us from being able to do looking up playlists by multiple songs. Anyway I will mention it to my boss, can't make any promises of course.
Then it's a lifestyle decision. Rent isn't cheap in Manhattan or Hawaii either.
The same 'consciousness gap' problem already exists in lesser forms: sleep, anesthesia, coma, also, brief periods of 'clinically dead' time as mentioned in the article during massive blood loss or other extreme situation.
My limited understanding of go is that the stone placement confers position and tempo, too, which would be undercounted looking at it purely from points.
That's confusing; they both appear to cancel whatever action was just performed.

A daily schedule would be nice, of course not exactly for every day. right now it's 85bpm at 7.45am.

I'm at work at this time and my heart rate is usually between 55 and 60 while working.
The question I have is why it's those four people who come to mind for you. Why Mitchell and Brendan is very clear, since they are the ultimate project leadership. But why specifically Robert and Gerv, as opposed to David Baron or Asa Dotzler or Johnny Stenback or Stuart Parmenter or Mike Shaver or various other people who were involved with the project since close to the beginning?

I have some hypotheses (e.g. Johnny doesn't blog, so isn't as "famous"), but I'm curious whether you have any yourself.

Right, and like Manhattan and Hawaii, there are more than enough people with lots of money interested in that kind of lifestyle, to jack the prices up like crazy.

It's ironic to hear the ones who just made that same lifestyle decision complaining about the high prices. If you just moved to SF for the city life in spite of the rents when you could have worked in Texas, you're kind of part of the problem.

(And then everybody else fusses about how it isn't fair they can't afford a flat on Wall Street or a 2br house on the beach in Kauai)
The hidden danger when developing for Android
Yes. This is pattern I've seen in both companies I worked for, and it makes so much sense.

Similairly you don't make table ARTICLES with column AMOUNT and KIND. You make table CHANGES with DIFFERENCE and KIND, and only ever add rows to that table (possibly with negative DIFFERENCE).
But you have orders of magnitude more of them. Slaved mobile devices are orders of magnitude cheaper, too!

Electricity and bandwidth are both resources that most people have to pay for, I would consider this theft and not a "victimless crime".

The severity of financial impact on the victim is irrelevant. If I steal tiny amounts of money ~0.01c from large amounts of people and accrued significant wealth from it, is it fine? Is it a "victimless crime" because the amount is so small?
Not really sure how that would help matters though. High rises, especially the modern ones, tend to count as a higher form of living.
Looks beautiful, the description says its not live data but from the day before because she has to use USB to get the data from the device twice a day. Its also just based on a normalized per minute heartrate. So i guess there are no practical consumer devices that transmit the heartbeat in realtime...that could be really interesting :)
People usually steals my designs. Well, I stole better but that's another story.

I once had my site's design stolen complete with my CSS, Javascript errors, the Analytic and the Adsense Code. I think I have the screenshots somewhere on Flickr.

The irony was that, mine was powered by a WordPress theme that I designed and was available as a free download.

There was also an article on HN 6 months ago or something, where a doctor rescued a person in cardiac arrest by keeping her head cold enough using groceries just bought in the supermarket (if I remember correctly) - at about 25-30C. The person was successfully reanimated about 4 hours after the cardiac arrest and suffered no brain damage.

There's nothing in this article or the one you linked to that suggests consciousness is anything but the product of biochemical activity in the brain.

I'm sincerely curious how you think that's the case.

edit: i use 'neuronal' and 'biochemical' interchangeably in this context, because I don't see a sharp distinction. I read the whole article, but I missed the quote you excerpted. I am boggled by it. Systemic death means nothing if neurons don't die (apoptosis) and the brain remains structurally intact - it's structural and chemical properties of neurons that determine self, and if those are preserved then it's fairly shallow notion of death. I mean, what does he say about people that suffer strokes or TBI and are completely changed by it, even though they never were clinically dead? Sorry if I misinterpreted you, but you utilized the passive voice in a way that made it seem like you were strongly implying it.

edit: you may be unaware of the enormous structural complexity of the brain (see purkinje cells) and the fact that sensitivity to input can result in structural changes (synaptic plasticity). It's the graph structure of the billions of neurons and hundreds of trillions of connections combined with the structural changes at those connections that effect their sensitivity to neurotrasmitters - not the series of impulses at any point in time - that encodes self.
The brain stores information in physical ways that don't get lost just because neural activity ceases for a while. One way is in the physical layout of the brain (what neurons are connected to what) which changes over time. Another is epigenetic changes in the genes of the neurons themselves which alter their behavior. The brain isn't a CPU or an artificial neural network where you turn off the power and lose all the state.

We've already known for a long time that people's EEGs can flatline without wiping out their memories and personalities, so this isn't exactly new information. But it is nice to see more confirmation that the brain is storing state in a different way.

Not sure how you can compare your own servers to s3 - s3 has redundancy built in that can survive the loss of 2 data centers. I'm pretty sure it would be more expensive to roll your own version of that...
Yes. You can install locally by following this doc page - https://github.com/HashNuke/mogo-chat/blob/master/docs/insta.... If you have any questions feel free to send me an email.
Looks like there's a separate function for sockets.

Still, cool stuff there too.
Dropbox doesn't pay the rates you see on the S3 pricing page. They currently pay lower than $0.03/GB.
By definition, there's no way we could possibly know, even by experiencing it ourself (assuming the "copy" is indistinguishable from the original).
Hey, sorry you (and everyone else) ran into this! This will go away in the next version (1.13), because we're removing the requirement for protobufs and supporting a pure json transport interface. It turns out to be both faster, easier to setup, and paradoxically more space efficient.

(1) Ask a simple question
"Delete?"

(2) Don't use many words when 1 will do.
"Cancel" "Delete"

(3) Don't use words when an icon will do.

(4) Don't use cognitively conflicting symbols and colors.
Red be cautious, green it's safe, but deleting something can be dangerous in either direction, safe in either direction. A better mental model is action vs inaction, then it's more clear to highlight the response that causes an action.

(5) Avoid blocking interfaces altogether.
Avoid interrupting the users flow. Perform all actions immediately, but only ever offer recoverable actions. Undo is not the only choice, and probably not the best for things like entire documents. Like loading a file, delete is often not meaningful in the undo stack (though it can be). Another paradigm is moving an item to a differentiated group, such as trash, an undisplayed group or a low rating. This approach is idempotent and allow things to be recovered out of order (it's also easer to implement than undo especially asynchronously). It can also be it's own valuable feature like edit tracking for word processors.

I don't think he's lying, but I do think he's mistaken. They probably do generate random codes, but this was not one of them. It looks/smells like a copy/paste.

That aside, though, why not just create a different Google Analytics account and use that one consistently for testing?
I've read this comment thread a few days ago, and was disappointed that the discussion has focused on Brendan's contribution to prop 8. Just want to get this off my chest:

I've known Brendan, I've code-reviewed some super scary changes he was checking in. I've watched him do cartwheels.

He is a very smart guy, one of the few I've met who is clearly superior to me (Hi Guha!). He is also part of a tribe foreign to me, deeply religious computer geeks.

I believe (have no 1st hand knowledge), that Brendan contributed to prop 8 as part of a church drive. His contribution has offended many, but it not part of his core beliefs.

I also believe that he gets Internet's potential more than just about anyone. My passion is open Web, and Brendan leading Mozilla is great news. He knows what really matters, he is passionate, and he will fight for it.

Yes, m-of-n addresses are the solution, we use it on Bitalo [0]. It's true that it is less suitable for day traders, and while they make the most of network volume, they are not the only purpose that exchanges exist. Some people just want to buy Bitcoin occasionally, i.e. once a week, month or less frequently. They also want a secure place to store them.
