I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, so I might as well: unless they changed it after I left, JTV has been deleting videos older than a week for many years. I wrote the original (well, almost original) system, and IIRC, we took it down to a week of storage back in mid-2009 or so.

JTV caught quite a lot of static for "not giving more than a week's notice", but it's pretty hard to do that when you're going from one week of storage to no weeks of storage.

Also, since people are asking: back when I first worked on it (circa late 2008), we started by installing (again, IIRC) 40TB of RAID6 disk space, and that was enough to store about a month of video before we ran out. By the time I left, we had something like 4-5x that capacity, and we were down to a week of archive storage. So that should give you some perspective on the amount of data involved....and it's probably gone up substantially since then.

Fine, but preventing spammy behavior is still a good thing.

I don't see anything about restricting use of Adwords, eliminating the "direct to app store" URL infrastructure in Safari, or even telling you not to let users share your app with their friends via social media.

All Apple is doing is telling you that you can't incentivize (read: effectively require) users to do pollute their friends news feeds, which is already a distasteful spam tactic and socially unacceptable. Whatever the ulterior motives, this discourages bad behavior and is still better for users.
I disagree, but I think we'd have to go to definitions to make headway on this conversation, so I'll back out. As final thoughts: while type classes give abstraction over values, (a) those values encompass HKTs so they can also be effectual in various ways and (b) universally quantified bounded types are a basically final algebras and codata goes a long way toward modeling objects. Between those two I think you can give OO in Haskell a run.
Handing over social media and web browsing history for KTN... sarcasm? If not, I'm curious to see a source - never heard anything about that sort of screening and a quick google didn't pull anything either.
If "explicit permission" to post to my news feed is necessary to proceed through your game in a reasonable way, access features I want, etc... then yes.
Thought I'd mention to you that your 'supermarkets' data is pretty out of date or marginal quality. I see at least 3-4 supermarkets opened in the last year not on there.
Indeed. That's what node.js is for. I was just nitpicking the article's explanation.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of what makes the apache+PHP solution so slow. apache probably eats a lot of time by itself.

Are you using an opcode cache for PHP, like APC? The PHP script is being executed repeatedly, possibly being read, parsed and translated into bytecode each iteration. The Javascript gets compiled once into native code by v8 and just loops.
In Europe, the one who imports the device must submit a certification document for the device... so even if you just stick already-approved products together you have to do a complete recertification. This, sadly, also includes selling a "Raspberry Pi computer" with you as distributor packing a Pi and a Wifi stick in a case. Only if you ship the individual components to the customer to self-assemble, you don't need certification...
Since people are interested... a fact that may be obscured from the conversation and statistics is that somrthing like 550gb of those videos have ZERO views.

Quitting Chrome: Because Google+
This weekend I made a fairly major change to how I interact with the web- I consciously switched default browsers. Fed up with Google's constant ramming of G+ down my throat, I've decided to hit 'em where it hurts: their marketshare. So I've switched to Firefox, and while noticeably slower, I feel it's a browser I can put more trust into.

Google should be employing a strategy of invisible control over how people interact, not forcing a centralized interaction layer on something that is inherently decentralized. They should be quietly creating and controlling channels of communication that I cannot live without. Apply the strategy that grew their search engine to all Google initiatives.

Or I will find alternatives.
> "If the machine can "deceive" you into thinking it's doing work, then it's doing work."

That depends on how long the deception lasts. Do you think it's doing work for the first few seconds of interaction, for a few minutes, or do you never figure out the deception?

From what I understand of the Turing test, the deception has to last at least for an entire conversation in order to count as "passing". This particular attempt doesn't appear to do that, at least not regularly.
Apparently you cannot run code without using the transpiler, but it is planned.

They also mention that the API will be awkward to use from Lua, but it's probably pretty easy to fix this.

I'll admit to not having looked at it for about 12 years, and, of course, I'm not saying I couldn't figure out after 2-3 minutes over looking over the pattern, but it just never flowed the way it did with Python for me.

data ={}
data['foo']= [
{'bar':10,'baz':12},
{'bar':20,'baz':13},
{'bar':30,'baz':14}
]
print data['foo'][2]['bar']
data['foo'].append({'bar':40,'baz':15})

for x in data['foo']:
print x['bar']

Maybe it had something to do with indices always being [] brackets and {} only being used to define the dict structure. Or maybe it got easier sometime in the last 12 years? Or, maybe you could onto something, and having come pre-primed with knowledge hashes/arrays, I just picked up python more quickly.

Anyways, it was just a personal story told as well as I could remember it.
The problem is that when you're talking about a free market benefiting all its actors you're talking about those actors being rational. Psychological tricks like skinner boxing really lower any credibility in that assumption.

Too look at the freedom thing another way, I may have no right to stop someone from trying to fly away off a cliff but if it looks like they are just about to jump to their doom I feel I should step in.

Though I agree it's a dangerous line that could be drawn anywhere between requirements to go to church, prohibition, scams, and the ability to sell yourself into slavery.
We're always being told that young people suck: that they are illiterate and unreflective and un-thoughtful, all of which ignores the fact that every generation had that said about them by the older generation. Yet somehow civilization persists.

That sentence resonated with me. Of all the superficial prejudices, ageism has to be the most hypocritical. By ostracizing someone for being too young or too old, you're making fun of a condition that you have, have had or will have in the future. You might as well swear at a mirror.

I dont understand when people find firefox noticeably slower. I wonder if thats related to OSX.

Regardless, I agree with the move 100%. Thanksfully, while Firefox may not be the best, its very good/useable for everything.

It sounds like you need something else to help you build the dockerfiles then i.e. I need a dockerfile with nginx, postgres and memcached so I use something like puppet/chef to put it together, is that possible?
Cool idea.

IMO your "Premium Plans" page could be improved.

It was difficult for me to identify what my money would actually by me when compared to the free plan.

I had to parse two lists separately, and do a lot of looking-back-and-forth.
I do not understand what is meant by "proposes content to share." My best guess is that I would visit http://proposer.ai and I would be presented with a list of things that I should tweet/like/submit-to-hn? Why would I vouch for / share something that I had not read myself? Accumulate magic internet points? I hope my interpretation is wrong because it sounds like a product that supports and tacitly condones shallow, insincere, attention seeking behavior on the internet. I realize that sounds harsh but I am really perplexed by the use of "recommend content to share" versus "recommend content to personally consume." It seems that in order to make good decisions about what to share the site would not only need information about me but also information about my social graph.

More than anything it sounds like a wonderful tool for astroturfing campaigns. Corporate PR departments would love to re-brand advertising as "AI based merit recommendations."

Cute PR piece.

I've lived in LA for the past six years and I can't wait to get out.

Pollution. Traffic. Crowds. Urban sprawl. Celebrity culture. Crazy property prices. Earthquakes. You name it, we got it.

I'd normally be happy that the tech scene is booming, except for the fact that they are turning Santa Monica and its surrounding neighborhoods into another Silicon Valley, with all the problems associated with the latter. Hence the name "Silicon Beach," which was actually invented in the 80s to describe the San Diego area but is now used to describe Westside LA.
This seems like the type of thing that's good to ffi out of you're using it a lot. I highly doubt the c version would take this long.
0.1ms to parse a date???

Even the standard PHP string parser does 0.017ms on my 3 year old netbook.

<?php

$st = microtime(true);
$cnt = 10000;

for ($i=0; $i<$cnt; $i++)
strtotime('2014-01-09T21:48:00.921000');

echo 1000 * (microtime(true) - $st) / $cnt;

Seems like this solves a non-existing issue.

This sounds like a demotion. I personally thought he had a misconduct trying to pump Bitcoin while at the same time fessing up that he owns bitcoins - especially when many perceive Bitcoin as a PayPal competitor.
I've lived in Los Angeles in 2004, and I liked this article a lot. But I think there's another aspect that I think the OP overlooked:

The dominant industry here will always be Hollywood, where the price of failure can be literally devastating. If your startup fails in the Bay Area, it's not too hard to become a line engineer at another company. If your hedge fund fails in NYC, it's not too hard to get another job at another fund, PE firm, or commercial bank. In some cases, these "failures" are looked at as badges of honor, and likely gave you a lot of hands-on experience you can directly apply to your next job.

But if you fail in Hollywood, you're looking at however many years lost of your life, when you were making no appreciable money as a bartender or barista, with likely no applicable skills to any other industry. I found it amusing the OP described LA rent as affordable -- which by NYC or SF prices, it definitely is! -- yet LA also has the worst income/rent ratio of any city in the US, by far[0]. This is not due to rent being too high, but due to income being too low, because everyone here is broke while they're trying to write screenplays and go on auditions.

It's really hard to live here without having friends involved in the entertainment industry, so in other words, it's really hard not to see this up close. And even if your friends work on the production or post-production side, it's not much better. At least you have a steady salary, but you're probably also working for a huge megacorp studio that literally embodies every single Office Space cliche. Or you're working for a production or post-production vendor that has to jump through ridiculous hoops and work ridiculous hours to get business from said studios. And while that steady salary is nice, it's still not nearly enough if you want to ever actually do own property some day.

So, I wonder how much of that also tempers the goals and dreams for LA startup entrepreneurs. I know it's something I think about often.

I've done the same.

I use gmail a lot, I have an Android phone and I was using desktop Chrome for years. However I started to notice things that worried me, for example I would be using Chrome on my PC but definitely not logged into Gmail / Google+, then I would see that my recent google searches from the desktop Chrome would appear in my recent searches list on Android within seconds. I could somewhat accept that if I was logged in to Google, but I don't accept that if I am logged out.

On one hand the functionality is pretty impressive, on the other hand my gut feeling is they have gone too far.
Footnote number two made me think this guy is awfully self-righteous and obnoxious, and the weird defense of his beloved English teacher made me kind of uncomfortable.

I was introduced to Kevin Warwick's writing in a course on technology in society about 10 years ago. He was making a big fuss about having made himself a cyborg by implanting an RFID tag in his arm. My ex-trucker next door neighbor, who had a cochlear implant, was a much more impressive example of cybernetics by my estimation, and far less insufferably attention seeking.
A very good read.
These are fair points. I've met Patrick in person and used to follow patrick.net a while ago (>4 years ago), but the discussion threads appear to have gone downhill a bit. But as someone else pointed out, there are some FAQs there that provide a useful counter to the conventional wisdom. Also it looks like Patrick now has a book out you can buy on Amazon.com:

Put another way, even if there's an 0.9 probability that the advice there is wrong, buying a house is nevertheless the most significant purchase of your life for most people. It's also a very illiquid purchase, meaning it's difficult to sell and you need it to appreciate ~7% just to make back what you paid (that's because of Realtor(tm) commissions). You owe it to yourself to seek out a different opinion even if there's only a 0.1 probability it's accurate.

Edit with an addendum: My goal is not necessarily to get people to avoid Realtors(tm). This is not yet possible given the state of the market; I made some effort in that direction and was unsuccessful when I bought a single-family home on the SF peninsula. Instead, it's to get folks to realize that especially in coastal markets, they are likely not worth it, have minimal mandated training, and do not necessarily have your best interests in mind. In the long run, what I'd like to do is encourage HN readers to come up with ways to make real estate transactions more efficient. Some Realtors(tm) with deep knowledge will probably stay in the industry; most others will end up doing something more productive with their lives.
Each device sends beacons out at an interval. By sorting all the probes by these intervals (10Hz or what ever) each will likely be slightly different from each other. So my device sends probes out at 0s another will send it out at 0.5s. Also by co-relating these beacons by signal strength well the random MAC doesn't really matter.

Can I just say, I wish I thought of this first? Here's a startup that focuses on connecting people with what they love to do. Of course people will be willing to pay for the opportunity. The business model relies on fundamental human passions and cultivating meaningful relationships. This is what "the daily grind" really should be about: doing what you love with those who believe what you believe. (Simon Sinek, anyone?)

Anyway, I hope it sees more global availability soon. If Lifetramp is really all about doing good for people, I expect it will be quite successful. My only concerns are that A) the price may be inhibitive, and B) the quality of the mentors may be low. Solve those two problems, then integrate with mobile, and I bet it'd be well on its way.
This is pretty wild! It looks like Nix, NixOS, & NixOps replace:

- low level package managers (eg rpm, dpkg)
- high level package managers (eg yum, apt)
- reproducible build tools
- configuration managers (eg puppet, chef)
- language-specific isolated env tools (eg rvm, virtualenv)
- language-specific package managers (eg bundler, pip)
- dev environment setup tools (eg vagrant)
- vm provisioning tools
- configuration source control (I think) (eg etckeeper)
- and probably more

AND it does all of these with atomic updates that are undoable and never break deps for other programs AND it fixes tons of warts in many of these tools AND it does this all with a unified set of tools that speak a common language!

If the day to day details come anywhere close to the high level promise, this seems like it'll be totally amazing.
I've tested Opera a bunch, I was pleasantly surprised with it's performance. I haven't given it a dedicated run though.

If I find 'Zilla performance to be a continuing issue, I might give Opera a real chance.
It will probably never end, since putting a stop to app shenanigans is very much a cat-and-mouse game, and I'm very happy that Apple isn't afraid to put devs in check. People who want to view ads for in-app currency are more than welcome to do so on the Android Marketplace.

Everyday Usability in Japan
I switched from Chrome as my default browser after two years of using it just two months back. Sometimes Firefox isn't able to render certain websites and rather spits out the html, but aside from that, I haven't had any issues. I think it works noticeably faster for me. I use it on both OS X and Windows, and it works great on both. It is also a lot more customizable and lets me run my own sync servers.
I wonder if Usenet is at all a consideration for excess archival. Any NSP I've heard of allows for unlimited uploads. Sounds like a good use for the archaic system.
