m a day, there came many to him
into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of
God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses,
and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

28:24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some
believed not.

28:25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after
that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the
prophet unto our fathers, 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say,
what you grow on this land is mine; this land is mine. - civilization

this machine is mine; what you manufacture with it is mine -- industrialization

What homeowner has a strong economic incentive to flood the market with more affordable housing, driving down the value of their own?
> one of the most important things is getting good practices in place

That is really important, but still, wouldn't it be better if you could encode at least some of those good practices into the language itself, rather than relying on humans to be constantly on their game? I'm certainly not perfect, so I would rather my sloppiness be caught earlier rather than having it come back to bite me in the future. See: http://thecodelesscode.com/case/116
it doesn't. The use-case is high trust groups not mass voting.
The track streaming is openly accessible but there are some rules arround attribution which are required: http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/buttons-logos
The scan rate isn't typically the worst factor, which is usually between 120-300hz (meaning a max additional latency of 3 - 30ms), but rather deriving meaning from that data is. Filtering in a noise-free environment typically adds a few scan frames of latency, which is what puts devices in the 60-120ms of latency, and a noisy environment (i.e. plugged in to a cheap charger) can easily up that to a few hundred ms of latency.
That's true. Which is why you should trust...but verify.
I doubt if the NSA did know about this bug. Because if they did they would have put the economy at a huge risk.
Well, the 30-70% of population that are homeowners do have homebuilding on their radar - they're investors in the housing stock and have an incentive to cap/limit supply.

Reading such long-form content and then being able to process + critique it is an important life skill many of us have sadly lost.

I don't think the article is unnecessarily verbose, in fact I think it successfully covers many inter-connected issues by only illustrating the relevant depth without burdening the reader with the superfluous.

It's actually a really quite incredible piece of work, and arguably the best thing ever published on TechCrunch.
On detecting Heartbleed with static analysis
I agree with much of what you've said. I've lived in the bay area for 7 years, and SF for 3. I like a lot of the people here. I like a lot of the companies here. I like the weather. But if I had no obligations, I would move tomorrow. I've lived in a half-dozen states and two countries. The state and local governments here are the second-worst I've lived under.[1] SF is unbelievable. There are insane violent vagrants roaming around Market street and the Tenderloin. MUNI is a nightmare, and BART is noisy enough to cause hearing damage.[2] Almost any public area is extremely dirty. One can't walk more than a block without encountering the smell of waste.

The biggest thing preventing tech workers from moving is that some interactions simply must be done in-person. Often this requirement is due to culture, not technological limitations. Still, there are significant advantages to in-person interactions. People are much more likely to pay attention to each other. There can be interesting and beneficial chance encounters. And of course, the likelihood of anything getting recorded or leaked is lower.

I think that as remote work becomes more feasible (both technologically and culturally), more tech workers will move out of the bay area. There are simply too many incentives to leave.

1. The worst being Guam, which couldn't keep electricity running for more than 12 hours a day. Great beaches, though.

2. Oh, and who had the bright idea to put cloth seats on BART? That person has probably caused the spread of more disease than Typhoid Mary.
its extremely expensive. Usually small laptop is not your main computer, so I guess you don't want to spend fortune on it.
Right. In most cases, the only effective way to "steal" an idea would be to steal the entire company that goes with it.
We're interested in exploring cryptographic anonymization. But the truth is, most groups don't need it.

No, they just don't think highly of the laws we're all under today. They see that a victimless crime is not a crime at all.

This is just the extension of the "testimonials" culture I see with many businesses, including startups.

> Sorry, this isn’t a shorter post or that I didn’t break it into 20 pieces.

Sorry, I didn't read it because you're a lazy writer who can't be bothered to consolidate the piece into a cohesive, easy-to-digest narrative. Oddly enough, I should be fish in a barrel, -- a mid 20s moving to SF for career; yet you couldn't take the time to work on maintaining my attention for more than a couple bullet points. The hilarious part is that you self-righteously reject that which you ultimately give in to, ("sorry [...] that I didn’t break it into 20 pieces") presumably under the continuing theme of "look at me for being better at not being better than people."

So yeah, sorry I didn't read. Let me know how your blog post does.
I think the point would be because of the time wasting on the employer's part.
Sure it's semi-ridiculous to frame this in terms of left "progressivism", especially as the waterfront battles are being fought by rich people who live in skyscrapers who do not want other skyscrapers blocking their views.

But I think the sentiment is broadly popular because it gets the heart of why people fall in love with San Francisco. It's not just the community (whatever community), it's the housing stock, the 'perfect' density, the hills, the views, the shops and restaurants, the smell of the air. That's what makes San Francisco San Francisco. One hundred years ago, Los Angeles looked a lot like SF. But they replaced 90% of the victorians, they flattened the hills, they built freeways everywhere. San Francisco was spared that, largely because the people fought back, and now the people want to fight to preserve what was saved.

I'm of mixed-feelings about it. The Bay Guardian always warns of "Manhattanization", but the alternative endpoint is turning into a huge version of Carmel By The Sea.
> I cringe at every loop wondering what the performance cost will be (it's not always clear or predictable).

Really? I think it's fairly easy to determine what would be expensive vs. what's going to be relatively cheap. I'd love a counterintuitive example to prove me wrong though.
If you're doing this kind of computation, do it either in Renderscript or C and call into it from JNI.
According to 31 CFR 1022.320 [1], your bank is legally required to report on any transaction that it "knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect ... involves funds derived from illegal activity"

I don't know how the Treasury Department expects my bank to know if transactions involve funds derived from illegal activity, but damn is that creepy.

Children of God is now known as The Family International.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_International

Curiously, the Wikipedia page makes no mention of the 1993 apocalypse prophecy that failed to materialize.
The only thing that has grown faster than tech is the mobility of the international rich. For every techie with $500K for a 2br, there are ten internationalists with a suitcase of cash.

Techies are just the new middle-class. Asking for affordable housing here is like asking for it at Vail, Jackson Hole or Geneva.

Y'all missed the bus.
This is by far the most comprehensive overview of the Bay Area's messed up development priorities I've seen in one place. Kim-Mai Cutler does a great job stringing all the threads of the housing crisis together.

I don't think San Francisco can build its way out of outrageous rents alone. The other cities in the Bay Area need to step up and provide the type of urban housing close to transit that people want. No more surface parking lots next to train stations.

This player is really nice, but is there a compelling reason to tie the API to soundcloud instead of having the usual player setup where the caller feeds it a tracklist containing audio URLs and metadata?
You're bringing up a lot of irrelevant stuff.

Novice operator - the operator of the motor itself is the control electronics, not the driver. If the operator can do something to damage the motor, the design is faulty.

Industrial electrical motors and control electronics like those in robots have completely different tolerance requirements, and are made in relatively low volumes, and so there are fewer units to support development costs.
Chicago is crystal clear. What a sight!

Freezing my ass off, though. None of my windows have a view.
I think that SF's proud antiquity is coming back to bite it. The older generations fought against development for decades, now the demand for property is so high they can't afford to live here anymore.
KSP knowledge is both a plus and a minus here. If you have played it you know that once the chutes open you are going to land pretty much wherever they take you. OTOH in real Earth there are winds that are going to make it difficult to predict exactly where that is and there aren't hundreds of miles of open space where you can just oopsy your landing.
Inside the Operating System Edward Snowden Used to Evade the NSA
Agreed -- an amazingly good piece. I doubt that many will actually read all of it, but if you're curious about why San Francisco is in the state it's in, Kim-Mai Cutler gives you no excuses for not educating yourself.

Also, for those that believe there is no alternative: the East Bay remains the best kept secret in San Francisco. When we moved here from the City for schools, we were braced for a let-down -- but having been here for six years, we know now that we will never return to the City, even when the kids are grown and gone...
Obama Lets NSA Use Zero-Day Exploits by labeling it as 'National Security Need'
Vibrant culture requires a critical mass of arty types, though - people who are highly sensitive to rental prices and uninterested in commuting. SF is a lot more epensive now than it was when I moved there in the mid-90s; back then you could throw a cosy little rave party for $500 or rent a small apartment for $1000/month.
I guess my problem is I rather like Manhattan and if rents got cheaper in the process it seems like wins all around to me :-)

I understand that other people don't feel that way, but at the same time I think if people were told the choices, which is basically Manhattanization and $1500/mo rent or stay the course and pay $3k/mo, people on the whole would pick the former.

But because it's framed in terms of 'preserving our heritage', it's easy for people to wishfully think that they can keep things the same for free.
This is absolutely 100% false and a good example of why you shouldn't take legal advice from the internet.

When you have a written contract, any and all verbal contracts or amendments mean absolutely nothing. It's called the "four corners doctrine" and is a pretty universal judicial practice. Written contracts always, ALWAYS supersede any verbal agreements: with a written contract in hand, any mentions of oral discussions are irrelevant and will fall on deaf ears.
Yeah, best article I've ever seen on TechCrunch by a mile.
Don't you still need to carefully use locks everywhere? For me the one reason to use coroutines instead of regular threads is that coroutines are cooperative multitasking, rather than preemptive. Which is what I want for when I have a bunch of concurrent but not parallel processes working on shared data.

Actually, go read the law (ArbnErfG, § 18 Mitteilungspflicht, Satz (3)) says otherwise:

(3) Eine Verpflichtung zur Mitteilung freier Erfindungen besteht nicht, wenn die Erfindung offensichtlich im Arbeitsbereich des Betriebes des Arbeitgebers nicht verwendbar ist.

The law also stipulates that for any invention or major improvement, even for the ones that you do during your work time that your employer wishes to keep the rights for, you're entitled to a fair compensation. So yes, if you invent something that is related to your employers business, the employer gets the first right. But I do think that the situation is much better - you at least get compensation.

As first language I think it's not a good idea like I don't think PHP as first language is not a good idea. They stimulate bad programming habits more than the more rigid languages, and they don't give you a solid foundation. Obviously there are exceptions, but generally this is the case. Basically: JS -> something else is hard while Java/C# to something else is much easier. We train quite a lot of people, and you see that people who come from Java/C#/C++ jump to JS/LUA/Ruby/Python in a very short time, while people who have been primarily doing JS or PHP have a lot more issues.
One of the things the article addresses is the fact that other communities need to build affordable housing, not just SF.

I for one am going to speak to some local political figures. If you live in any city in the SF bay area, you may as well do the same. Write a letter. Express your interest in the creation of apartments in the city. Because if you build housing in the area, people will live there.
Eventually we want to be agnostic to any streaming service out there today. Right now, we believe SoundCloud is doing streaming the best by allowing people to easily publish and share their music. However, we have plans on implementing support for tracks from other sources like Bandcamp, Mixcloud, and YouTube.

Functionality for including tracks locally on the server is there also, but we need to modify the API for this a little.
Plus you already know half of it because it uses the same shortcuts as every other program in the world.
> * I make the library and release it with an MIT license

This might get you into trouble. Basically, anything you touch during your work hours is tainted by your employers copyrights. You're not allowed to decide which license that code should be under. So either you write that whole library in your spare time (and on top of that do your regular day job) or get your employers permission to release the code.

In general the approach is sound and I'd support it, but others might or might not.
Absolutely. Hit me up at tim@toneden.io and I'll show you how.
Speaking about that, I am wondering if there are internet businesses out there which are actually a front for money laundering. Say for example an online game or even a porn site. Seems to me like an ideal cover, because it's almost impossible to prove that it's not a real business.
Agreed - great reporting. Well researched, objective articles like this are very rare even on subjects as fascinating as this. Surprised to see it in Techcrunch - seems more like something you'd find in the New Yorker.
I don't know that that's necessarily a good idea.

As you (perhaps automatically) expand and collapse the cluster, you'll need to make sure to communicate to all nodes what the new cluster size is. If some nodes don't know the correct quorum count, split-brain!

Also, coordination services are typically critical, so its important to isolate from to the bugs in the adhoc code you're writing for your web tier, a crazy query in your database, etc.

It's much easier and safer in practice to just have 3 or 5 nodes running the coordination in isolation.

Edit: more reasons -- It's easier to deploy a coordination service to 5 nodes than 500. It's easier to debug 5 nodes than 500.

"But this paper conflates correlation with causation. He argues that when there is a decline in new housing units, there is also a decline in price."

I knew this was going to happen: people have heard a trite sound-bite about "counter-intuitive" statistical logic so many times that they ignore that correlation is usually a pretty damned good signal for a causal relationship.

To wit: of course there's a correlation between price and new housing units -- because it is causally related. When prices go up, developers have greater incentives to build. More importantly, in a city with as high a density as San Francisco (and yes, folks, it is dense -- the second-densest city in the US, in fact), with as many architectural challenges (seismic, geographic, etc.) the limiting factor for new construction is land and materials, not red tape.

Nobody wants to hear this, but it's true. The fixed costs of building here are so high that developers won't do it unless rents go up. That's why new construction costs upwards of $4k for a 1-bedroom unit, and why new construction in SF doesn't place any real downward pressure on rents -- except (perhaps) in the very long term. At best, you're treading water. Developers don't build into a falling market.

But really, the best response for the people who keep asserting that "building up" is the magical solution is to point to Manhattan: it's the densest city in America, yet it's just as expensive as San Francisco, if not more so.

There are no magic bullets. San Francisco is expensive because there's a lot of money chasing a tiny little bit of land. You don't need a dissertation to explain it.
No offense, I just don't get it: Why is 1) a feature for you? Everything else on the list kinda makes sense (I understand that this describes something I'd call a feature), but 'written from scratch' or 'in Go'?

Speaking of trains, the west coast really needs high-speed railways.

After all, teleconferencing all the time is not the only alternative to everyone living in the same city. People could actually travel for important meetings from time to time.

A best-of-the-class high-speed train (300mph+, not the pathetic 200mph version they're talking about) should be able to get you from Portland to SF, or from LA to SF, in two hours flat. Even better, you'll be able to work during those two hours.

I'd like to see if there's a difference in the output and/or in the speed of the C results without -ffast-math.

That option results some changes in the floating point math (see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/Optimize-Options...) which Java is unable to set, but which may be okay for limited domain the DSP filter works in.
Could you shed some light on how this research was conducted? From reading the OpenSSL source and docs it seems pretty clear that the RSA struct will be on the heap somewhere.
Imagine you want to process a list of foobarbaz, where elements can be foos, bars, or bazes.

Exhaustion is when you write foo specific code, bar specific code, and baz specific code. Then your list-processing facility is general because it handles all the cases. A typical way to do that in practice is to use subtype polymorphism, with the class inheritance mechanism: have a foobarbaz interface, a foo class that implements it, a bar class that implements it, and a baz class that implements it. Each with their own code.

Genericness is when you ignore the foobarbaz specifics altogether: your code doesn't even mention the types. A typical way to do that in practice is to use parametric polymorphism (generics in Java, templates in C++). See C++'s Algorithm library for an example, or the standard Prelude from Haskell, or the OCaml standard library.

Economy and the advancement of the civilization are rarely looking into the same direction. I'm not saying the status quo is more efficient than Bitcoin, but Bitcoin isn't the best solution either. This is a good article that sums things up: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-fated-boom-bust/
I really like the platform. It enables people to conduct the decision making in a way that is followed in formal committees, and even the UN. People present options, everyone talks about them, then when it seems that the group is converging towards a solution, you present a proposal. And then everyone votes on it (and not just a yes or no!). So it's pretty cool.

I just have one concern, does only the leader present proposals? or can everyone do it? To me, letting only the leader (OP) do that makes sense. otherwise wouldn't everyone be just doing that instead of posting suggestions?
