Not specific doors, just in areas I think I'd like to live. Getting all those characteristics in one place at the same time might be shooting too high but it's possible, I suppose. Finding a place to stay/rent, then talking with the people you're renting from or neighbors, you might have a better chance of hooking up the rest, even from a single person (ie, one person who cooks meals, will do cleaning and laundry). If the people who rent have a cleaning person, you could start your inquiry there.

As for my experience finding everything you're looking for in one place/with one family, I've done that but it was more about lucking out and finding nice people (they didn't even charge for "one more mouth to feed" or laundry). But those items don't need to be expensive at all if from a third party, especially if you're headed to a developing nation (or one hit hard by a crisis, like where I am, in Portugal).

As a side note, in general, the farther you venture from the best spot in the city, the cheaper it gets (and the more authentic your day-to-day experience when compared to the "average Joe") and the likelihood of better hospitality increases.

I don't see how subsidizing candidates who agree to donation limits will work. In the last few Presidential elections we've already blown past the viability of the existing public funding.

Anyway, I am one of those rare folks who thinks there's not enough money in politics. Or at least that we shouldn't worry about the money that's already there. The Center for Responsive Politics (a pro-reform group) estimates that total Federal direct election spending reached $6 billion in 2012[1]. Even if "shadowy groups" spent twice that over again (they didn't), that's $18 billion worth of spending to influence the future of a $3.6T government regulating a $15T economy.

To put it another way, $18B is less than half the annual revenue of the Coca Cola company, or only 6x what Americans spend on scented candles every year.

I'm mostly doing Go nowadays but keeping an eye on Rust, which I think would make a good match in my toolbox for areas where Go lacks.

Wondering if there's a roadmap/ETA for v1.0?
I love all the "X has been removed from the language" bits that occur in every Rust release.
On the site where I wrote this article the scope is to talk about DNSSEC deployment (and deployment of other technologies such as IPv6). Given those parameters, I have limits on what I can talk about in terms of other technical solutions. However, if someone wants to write an article on some other site about other potential technical solutions it may be something I can link to from an update to the post.
Who says this is an attempt to drum up publicity? It's an announcement to the Gradle community, who presumably knows what it is and wouldn't be very interested in an explanation. Someone posted it to HN because they thought people interested in Gradle would care about the announcement, not because HN is a marketing channel. More generally, you are not the target audience of everything posted to the internet, or even of everything of interest to HN. That's OK.
You can do that now by posting a comment to the thread. I realize that's not exactly what you mean, but (a) it's close, (b) we're biased in favor of reusing existing features wherever possible, and (c) I'm not convinced that the submitter's comment should be privileged over other users', other than by being first to appear. What chippy wrote was fine, but that would not always be the case.
> "Anyone who contributes? Wouldn't this include ISPs or perhaps even the application server technologies (HTTP, FTP) used? Or clients, browsers and picture viewers?"

People involved in those things will not be targeted, unless the authorities already have another reason to want to target them. Absurdly broad laws, coupled with selective enforcement, allows the authorities to legally harass anyone that they please.

Whenever anyone complains about overly broad laws, selective enforcement allows apologists to claim that any objections to those laws are unfounded because in practice people are typically not abused by those laws. However the danger of the laws is not that they will be used to abuse everyone, but rather that they will be used to abuse a select few.

Facebook and another option is fine. Otherwise, I mean off the top of my head you're killing off a potential 1.4 million that left FB in Decemeber of 2013 alone.
It's interesting that they didn't communicate the amount and I haven't found any sources that provide one. You would think there would be more transparency seeing that the money is going into the government's pocket.

I'm not sure if it's actually a race; it probably depends on how bash is implemented. But this prints what is expected:

echo "1\n2\n3\n4\n" > numbers && cat numbers | { sleep 1 && cat > numbers && cat numbers ; }

That's not exactly the same (because the redirection for cat #2 now happens in a subshell), but it shows that this is basically racy. :)

Somewhat offtopic, but why is there an obsession with music discovery services? Soundcloud has its own niche in terms of sharing and usage, but other services like 8tracks and Slacker seem rather unnecessary. Is it that hard to discover new music on one's own?
All ORMs build at least some of their SQL using string concatenation.

Prepared statements with bind variables only work when the SQL string is static and only the variables change - but ORMS are used to construct full SQL statements with custom select / while / join clauses etc.

The closest thing I can think of would be Lisp (any dialect) because of the ability to add embedded languages/DSLs to the language. Pure Common Lisp (no macros), does not have any iteration constructs (besides goto). On top of these basic primitives you could build something much more complicated such as the 'loop' macro, a DSL for describing iteration. Here is the second problem on project euler (sum of even Fibonacci numbers up to 4,000,000) solved using loop.

(loop for n = 1 then (+ n n-1)
and n-1 = 0 then n

while (<= n 4000000)

if (evenp n) ; predicates in CL end in 'p'
sum n)

You can add almost any (AFAIK any) paradigm you want. Initially Lisp did not have any object system. When OOP became a thing it was added to Lisp. Today it exists in the form of CLOS, a very powerful object system which at its core is two macros, defclass[0] and defmethod[1]. Logic programming can also be added through the use of macros[2]. Here is an example of append written using logic programming in Lisp (compare it to the Prolog version).

(<- (append nil ?xs ?xs))
(<- (append (?x . ?xs) ?ys (?x . ?zs))
(append ?xs ?ys ?zs)

The thing is you can make Lisp any language you want it to be. Want a (better) language to write HTML, you can do that[3]. Want a language which can parse ATNs (augmented transition networks), you can do that[2]. You can add to Lisp almost any feature you can think of. This is what makes it appear (at least to me) as the "universal language".

mmorris answered this, but can I take this opportunity to add a couple of absolute gems, which I love, and which I have read and re-read so many times that I've gone through 3 copies each?

They are:

1. Dreadnought (by RKM)
2. Storm of Steel (by Earnst Junger)
3. (bonus) Josiah The Great: The True Story of The Man Who Would Be King

For my money, Dreadnought is the Best Overall History Book, and Storm of Steel is the best First-Person History Book.

They're topical, too -- SoS didn't have a quality English translation until 15 years ago, and Josiah The Great was based on the early-2000s discovery of a trove of documents that corroborated the amazing tales of the first American in Afghanistan, who became the inspiration for Kipling's short story (and John Houston's near-best-picture winner, and the movie Michael Caine says he wants to be remembered for), 'The Man Who Would Be King.'
For me, even worse than an in person interview is a remote coding interview over the phone. Usually some sort of screen sharing + phone call.

I find it incredibly nerve wracking because it gives me that feeling of someone standing over my shoulder without me being able to fully interact with them or read their body language. When you sit down to hammer out a solution you have all the additional pressure of trying to stay engaged with someone you can't see. As a result I constantly drop my focus on the problem and lose what I've worked out in my head.
as another "enterprisey" type I vastly prefer clojure or scala. either go full on static typing or full expressivness. groovy is too middle of the road for me.
Is there a difference between microservices and SOA? I've used architectures just like this in the past but never heard of "microservices" until recently.
Our tracking accuracy overal is good, but slow motorized transport versus bike rides have the highest error rates. That means that in a small percentage of the cases slow, bumpy car rides might get detected as biking and the other way around. Movement patterns vary quite a bit from city to city, especially for public transport. Users can correct detection errors, but that doesn't catch all cases. We have a slight bias towards cycling.
freedom of historical reports?

If we lose that one we are truly fucked.
They're shooting for around the end of this year.
But is that a good thing? Being "unable to take down malicious domains"? I don't know. There is a part of me that wants to protect against this ability to take down domains - and another part of me that says if there were domains spewing malware and facilitating botnets I'd like to see them taken down somehow.
This is a good move in the right direction.

Why have we, as a society, become OK with handing over policing power to corporations unrestrained by due process? For example, by using sites like Soundcloud. Is it the lack of civics education in high school?
If your recollection is correct, then it sounds like it, yes.
And if not concurrent connections, it's not feasible given time constraints.
Perhaps the perceived higher quality of comments is simply a result of one primary ideology being enforced by the voting system?

I would wager that people tend to feel that comments they agree with are of higher quality than ones they disagree with, and as readers of HN are self selected its entirely possible that the entire effect is just an artifact.
I look at it more like de-selecting the non-elite non-insiders.
My comment got down voted out of visibility but for the record my note of unprofessionalism was more around the personal attacks than the swearing. I can deal with swearing.
I wonder if most domain owners would want a system where it was not possible for a domain to be transferred against the owner's will?

As long as it is possible for domain owners to transfer ownership, it is possible to have your domain stolen if you have a security lapse that allows someone to impersonate you. If there is no mechanism to force a transfer back, then victims of that kind of domain theft will have no recourse other than to convince the thief to give it back.

I suspect that for most of us, getting hacked and impersonated would be the most likely way we would lose our domain.
They don't seem to show their whole order book on that page. If you look at the cumulative depth chart at http://bitcoinity.org/markets/bitstamp/USD, it currently shows over 12K BTC asks. Buying all that in one fell swoop would drive the price to over $4000 though.
Presumably he can then reissue the article. That for Google is a different instance and recent content making it outside the auspices of the EU law?
Exactly. Just the other day, Obama proclaimed that 80% of US citizens want immigration reform. When it's worded that vaguely, sure, that's true ... the vast majority want that. But "reform" means different things to different people, and very often the opposite things.

Worse, it's often mutually exclusive. In fact, "reform" to some people means ensuring we do not do the things that "reform" means to others.

Consider ... does immigration reform mean?

• keeping families together

• amnesty

• legal worker status

• in-state college tuition for non-citizens

• a fence, wall, drones, troops, sensors

• stopping Mexican troops when they cross the border

• dealing with cartels who vandalize billboards to threaten US officials (plato o plomo)

• ... etc

Many people want some of these things to happen, and want some of these things to not happen. Yet they all want "reform".

The same is true for every "reform" of "broken" government.
As a point of job search strategy -- avoid HR flunkies, who have been trained to check for pedigree and credentials.

Instead, focus your search on interfacing with senior managers and executives that could use your specific expertise. Typically you'll have a higher success rate with small companies that no one has heard about.
Cashflow. The company can sell a service and have perpetual income. If bitcoin losses value, you are still generating income, as opposed to having your money invested directly in the currency.
The toughest part of this is the idea needs to help expand the economy that is how real jobs are created. There are many ways folks! From the absurd, such as moving money from inefficient areas of the economy (i.e. taxation to efficient areas of the economy, private individuals, or from banks to small businesses.)

If there is a legal way for example for an employee that pays $10,000 in tax to employ someone at $10,000 and save that money then for each tax-payer a new job is being created. This can be for example be channeled via a non-profit (which scales via software) which would legally employ the individuals assign tasks to the individuals, provide training (which can employ trainers) help in seed money etc., basic health care and other similar services.

Another counter-intuitive idea, is to target high worth individuals, rather than low end individuals. Thousands of people are in jobs and interested in getting out of them to start a business. A Job + investment scheme in businesses that need financing might or might not work, but worth thinking. This keeps the individual employed and if the business expands would probably create another 2-5 jobs easily.

Franchising as a co-op rather than sending money to the mother ship, can easily scale in many sectors.

I think this is the greatest RFS ever and wish it success from the bottom of my heart. If no single scheme can achieve it, maybe 100 schemes can. It is not impossible.
There are several reasons including:

1. He doesn't want to put $2M in any exchange or spread out over multiple exchanges to buy a large amount.

2. There is no cleaner accounting than to buy 30k in one swoop and from the USMS.

3. For very little risk, he either gets it or he doesn't.

Magento Go is Shutting Down on February 1, 2015
> It takes me a few seconds to rewrite foldl from rote understanding: foldl f z (x:xs) = foldl f (f x) xs, because it takes a function, a 'zero', a list of head and tail, and calls itself again with the same function, a zero 'going up' (so accumulating) and a list 'going down' (being exhausted). So as you see this is an almost a visual way to understand it, which is natural to those that already are familiar with these abstractions, but is meaningless to those who don't.

I think this type of explanation falls into what the parent post is talking about. That is a technical accurate but very dry way to describe a construct that simply calls the function it's given for every element in a collection and returns the accumulation of the results. Granted you can dive into all sorts of discussions about what that _really_ means and what power it gives you, but save that for much later, it isn't introductory material.

An analogy to how functional programming often is taught would be if I tried to teach a new programming language by going over the BNF grammar first without context instead of starting with how the language is actually used in practice. It may be more 'technically correct' but it's a terribly ineffective way to learn for most people, even those who know and understand BNF. People are often more interested in what they can do or create with this new thing, not the nitty gritty details of how it works mathematically even if they intend to get into the details later.
I think Rust has been bad for me. I'm interviewing for my first technical role at the moment and all I keep talking about is how much I love Rust and look at these cool things I made in Rust and I want to program in Rust all the time.

I mainly receive bemused looks. "We use Java."
You don't address my specific point; namely that it is not only possible but relatively inexpensive for any nation-state to compromise users' anonymity on Tor en masse not by cracking its cryptography but by running >50% of the nodes themselves.
But in the areas you want to live, you just knock at a variety of doors. They're not places that have advertised?

In Cuba I found a lot of places that offered all of the above, but they're a special case where you need a license to rent to foreigners. That's a good idea about getting a house and then contracting out for work.

How do you deal with trust in those cases?
It can have a few meanings. I think this type of question is common to get a overview of the good things about language X.
Pretty cool idea; instantly signed up.

I was thinking about posting "Ask HN: Interview me" since I don't have many interview opportunities in my corner of the world and wanted to find out how good you guys think I am.

If anyone wants to test out their interview skills with me, we could set up a meet over at talky.io and discuss some C# or js. Mail address is in my profile.
Rather than controlling medallions would it not make more sense to charge a per-mile tax on anyone carrying passengers for a fee (including uber)? Make that tax roughly equal to the bus fare for the same trip and then use that money to subsidise bus fares.
"why is python documentation so bad" Really? Did not see that one coming
Well, you know, that CGI HTTP Server issue would not have happened if we had finally moved onto Python 3! The community is very confusing to newcomers. We really should just move on and forget about Python 2.

Edit: :) to indicate sarcasm.
I totally disagree with you. I find Vim's implementation of buffers/windows/tabs to be far more powerful than any other editor I've used. The ability to quickly switch between files, move a file between different windows, create and destroy splits, etc. is just so nice. Every other editor seems clunky and inefficient, forcing you to use the mouse for all of those operations.
Summary: I vote quality.

I upvote plenty of comments I don't agree with that are well-stated. Make a good case, and my agreement or disagreement doesn't matter. And if there's a comment that I agree with but the writer is being name-calling asshole, I click the down arrow.

Reputation matters not, though those with a better "reputation" probably earned it by generally avoiding trollish behavior.

In general I probably don't fit a lot of the group think that HN is frequently accused of. But if someone makes a well-reasoned case for (say) using Bitcoin to pay my mortgage, I may still think they're nuts while clicking the up button because it makes a positive contribution.
OneTune – Open Free Alternative to Spotify
AFAICT, "microservices" is exactly SOA in its original sense; my guess is the rename is because SOA has become so attached to particular XML-based implementations and standards (e.g., the WS-* series of standards).
I'd also be interested in a "faux" simulation, perhaps where it is pre-recorded video interviewer with a countdown timer.

The video could occasionally say "Are you sure you want to do that?".
I don't want to be fussy and all, but even if it was sold for "just" 1.6 million dollars it would represent a big amount of money, and honestly I cannot read quietly that it could not be considered as a "never work again rich" amount of money.

It's the same as getting between 30 and 40 years of an experimented developer's average salary where I work, so it would mean that I can live exactly as I do now (and I can't complain), but at home without needing to work anymore. Just good money to spend with family, travelling or improving your knowledge. Seems like a good deal to me.
