Note that the democratic world's media are very heterogeneous. It isn't often they agree on much (see the Viernam war, Israel, Iraq war, etc in European media).

On this subject, most everyone do agree. Again note -- that is unusual. Maybe unique. And you claim that is a conspiracy, based on that there are lots of spin used on every subject by everyone with a finger in a pie?

That is exactly what Putin's media writes -- the whole [non dictatorial] world is in a conspiracy against Russia. Because they hate Russia!

(I can tell you how unanimous this is in Sweden: Most of the left wing extremists don't support Putin re Ukraine. These people in Sweden are USA haters which have never supported a democracy in a conflict with a democracy...)

Ask HN: What to work on?
I'm getting really tired of dreaming up cool ideas for apps, cranking out prototypes, and then finding there is zero interest. Here are my four best ideas for what to work on next. I don't know how to "validate" them beyond a landing page/adwords. Last time I attempted that, adwords banned my campaign immediately.

LongCal: Basically, a calendar that goes beyond the standard month/week/day view. Emphasis on long term thinking and planning. I made a very rough prototype here (click on logo to get some test data): http://humbit.com/longcal/

uTrim: A URL shortener for universities. The idea is to create trustworthy links that can only be created by people actually associated with a school. I already have a functioning app and if you don't have an .edu account you can at least check out the landing page : https://utr.im/

Vulgat Library: Helps businesses create an internal lending library (movies, books, games). I sold this to two game companies, so it's the only thing I feel has proven demand. But I'd have no idea how to find more customers. This is the landing page that adwords objected to: http://vulgat.com/

Business naming app: After all the naming debacles I've seen on HN, I think an app that generates names (and checks against .com registration and trademark) could be really useful. My big doubt is if anyone would pay for it.

Do any of these sound worthwhile? Maybe I should just suck it up and do 30x500...
They should start reselling SSL certificates now too. Then provide a one-click button in Route 53 to buy a domain with optional SSL and set up the DNS all at once. Even better if you could start a LAMP EC2 instance with the domain/SSL configured and the DNS pointed to it at the same time too.

This is exactly what we've been doing in Sweden the last 10 years, at least.

Local electrical companies usually offer a city wide fiber grid in small towns. Sometimes housing companies that own a few apartment buildings have their own fiber grid. And ontop of that there are communities in more rural areas that come together and pay for the work to have fiber dug to their houses.

But that's just fiber, they still need an ISP for internet service and there we usually have at least a dozen different companies to choose from.
I'm going with no, but hopefully their market share will be taken up by Mozilla. Mozilla will do a better job of keeping the big players honest and (IMO) have a better chance of putting out a decent product.

Does it significantly harm performance to put a thin screen (such as the one on windows to keep bugs out) over the fans? I still wouldn't feel safe with it hovering above me, they look like they could still cut off a finger fairly easily. Also falling into a fan in the full-scale version would be... bad.

I really like that you're offering a drone rather than the full product (which often times doesn't get completed).

Do you have anything written about the overlapping fans? I've never seen that design and am really curious about it's pros and cons.

Great product if you can get the hoverbike done! Good luck!

As I wrote on another comment of yours -- Russia and China pay people to write comments [astroturf/50 cent army]. It was obvious in Swedish.

Edit: The astroturf was obvious in the Swedish language. Very shortly: People with very bad Swedish started posting pro Putin comments, some obviously using G Translate. They were unable to discuss certain things -- like that international democracy indexes class Russia as autocratic. (They'd probably be fired.) There were systematic down votes (10-100 down votes in a minute probably going through a bot net, so web admins couldn't automatically detect it). This spamming with very, very unusual opinions were systematically half of all comments on those web sites I read. (After a few months the Swedish of the posts got better, some halfway to idiomatic.)

Edit 2: Sprint, maybe. But not in the same volume in Swedish and not with that amount of fake votes.

Ask HN: Copying relational data with non-trivial relationships
Say we have these tables: http://i.imgur.com/IYsyCXk.png

Room Movement gets a new entry when an Orphan is moved from one room to another.

Now say I wanted to copy an entire Orphanage, complete with all the related entities. Room and Orphan are simple enough to copy - save the new Orphanage to create the ID, and pass it to clones of the Room and Orphan - but entries in Room Movement are slightly more complicated. I would have to maintain a map of old to new IDs for both Orphans and Rooms and do a lookup for each insert. This is simple in this contrived example, but in reality we have a lot of these kinds of relationships under Orphanage, and nested levels of these FK relationships.

Two questions: is this something the ORM should handle? This is a problem not unique to our application, and it seems like with properly configured foreign keys and some sort of "clone strategy" system the ORM should do the heavy lifting and do things in the right order.

If not, is there somewhere where I can read up on this problem and see how other people solved it without creating a big mess of code?

3% of the biggest hardware market in the world (and it's going to be growing for a while yet) is still a massive amount of revenue and potential profit. The management of the Windows Phone division are failing, but the proper response to that is to either help them improve or to replace them, not to abandon the market completely. There is enough room in the marketplace for more than just Android and iOS.

- in some countries the law doesn't work and this country's elite don't act basing on the law and justice but use manipulation (like my example with USSR and Nazi Germany) to justify it's actions which results in more bad things.

Example USSR-Germany is a parallel to what some Russians are stating: like the current law on blogging is okay because the US initiated similar law too. Bloggers, free media and readers are in fact victims of this manipulation because the US has nothing to do with Russia's internal policy. And still some Russians use this argument as a justification of this law.

isn't a truck a FILO storage for a FIFO process?

The mean number of items in the van depends on the speed of pick up and drop off vs. the auction time.

If the pick up/drop off team is supposed to dismantle your bed/manhandle your new couch up six flights of stairs/plumb in your new washing machine, they could end up spending 30 to 45 minutes per job, so they'd only have two or three items on the truck at a time. So there could be plenty of free space if they pack it right. Then just staff the truck with two really strong people, who can lift a washing machine over a couch or whatever, and you've got almost-random-access storage :)

Assuming they're handling items in the $100-$500 range, i.e. their cut is $50 to $250, you could afford two guys even if they took 45 minutes per delivery - assuming you had enough demand to keep them working constantly. If they spend half their time on standby because of demand fluctuations, the economics would get more dicey on the lower margin items :)

If they get big enough, you can get vans with multiple side doors which would be more flexible about access [1].

Some feedback from someone who has been in the same position. Most projects seem to have little interest at first. Your job is to iterate on the value prop, customer needs, and messaging - ideally by talking to customers. Simply running ads does not give you feedback that you need: eg: is there no interest because people don't understand the product (for me, Vulgat provided me no insight), or is it that the value prop isn't clear. Talk to people - the end user/buyer/purchasing cycle/industry/vertical is vastly different for each of these products. Focus on a product you can directly access the users. IMHO

I don't think so. I think that people of any country have to look at all existing opportunities. For North Korea, some African or Asian countries there's no point in waiting for good and revolution is the only way for changes. As for Russia (and, possibly, for China), we have the options. The political game is quite dangerous here and political institutions are imperfect but they still may evolve in time to something better. Putin, compared to the dictators in the rest of the world, is very soft and weak: his power is based on popular support and he is well-aware that he has to distribute wealth to the people, boosting economy and imitating western-style democracy. Either he will keep the wealth growing (and thus the country open - it's essential for Russian economy, so millenials will travel and get educated about the benefits of western life style), or the popular discontent will blow him out of Kremlin. We still hope that the first option will be the case. We need more educated people to build reliable and inclusive political system.
Both Iraq and Israel are absolutely notorious for being subjects where all major western news outlets toe or toed the political line.

Whilst Israel is treated somewhat neutrally outside the USA, the puppy-like behaviour of American media is so extreme it is itself worthy of news articles:

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/31/america...

The runup to the war in Iraq is widely considered to be one of the western media's biggest and most damaging failures, including by those outlets themselves:

http://www.salon.com/2007/04/10/media_failure/
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/may/27/media.iraq
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_the_Iraq_War

With respect to your assertion that "most everyone do agree", did you read my comment? It's very much NOT the case that everyone agrees on this. Here's the Guardian's view:

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/30/guardia...

Hardly a ringing endorsement of sanctions.

Now go look at the comments section. Pick comments pointing out western hypocrisy and take a look at the posting history of those accounts. For instance, check out TheGreatRonRafferty. Posting on the site for years, thousands of comments. Many other views like his expressed there. If you think this is all the work of the FSB you're delusional, I don't know how else to say it.
Putin has built a very stable power structure, I'll give him that. And he's crazy popular in Russia, not least because of the fact that he controls all the media.

The only two ways I can see his regime could be defeated are:

* Turmoil within his ranks leading destabilizing his power structure

* Significant economic downturn (e.g. oil price falls or oil trading is hindered by sanctions)

One could argue that the growing discontent with Putin among the younger generation could lead to his demise, but I don't think it would work. They can protest all they want but as long as 90% of the population are successfully hypno-toaded, Putin can deal with the protesters in any way he wants.

I think taking on team leadership roles (where you're still >=60% technical) is fine that early.

I wouldn't make a jump into pure management that early. I would fear that it would do two things, both bad:

1. Prevent you from developing the necessary technical experience, instincts, and judgment that will serve you well later in your career.

2. Prevent you from "tasting management" and deciding whether or not you like it. Many don't, and that's perfectly OK. I am in the category of "initially reluctant managers" which makes me both good and bad. Good because I'm not in it for the power or title. (Managers who are can be incredibly corrosive.) Bad because there are some parts of managing that are necessary but distasteful to me and so I naturally deprioritize them or am less than good at them. Things like figuring out something personal about someone on your team and figuring out how to motivate them or how to help them break through what's blocking them. Those can be a struggle for me, as I'm a natural engineer, not a "people person". I see some of my peers who got into management out of desire, and while they're not nearly as strong technically, they appear effortless when dealing with people and their idiosyncrasies.

Being able to "try on" managing a team at your current role is possibly great. If you like it and are good at it, you learned something, but you still should proceed slowly with the transition.

If you don't like it and decide to stay technical, there's no harm whatsoever in giving that up (at your current or next job). I hear in interviews pretty regularly, "they were pushing me into management and I like to stay technical". When I have a technical role (which is always), that's music to my ears.

Grimoires: A History of Magical Books
Which is about the rise of Christian conversion and the loss (destruction) of or condemnation of older natural pagan healing practices and the manuals or compilations which held that knowledge... burning of books through the millenia which took with it history and culture. From antiquity/pre-history to medieval ages to the Spanish Inquisition to modern times, I've learned so much and I'm not even half-way finished. Usually this sort of thing is extremely hokey and superstitious, except this book is 20% citations, sources and bibliography, further reading suggestions, and historical references. It focuses on the actual history of magic (be it Kabalistic or Enochian) instead of trying to legitimize it. In fact, it quite debunks "magic".

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Edward FitzGerald's translation)
After much study and reading multiple translations of this book, I'm currently reading one quatrain each day and committing it to memory.

Solar and wind are the two most abundant, additionally scalable, and efficiently utilizeable forms of renewable/sustainable energy available.

Solar is the most abundant, but on a density/device basis is somewhat less cost-effective than wind, which is preferable locations (not all) provides a high return for investment. Overall, wind energy is less abundant than solar (it's effectively a byproduct of solar insolation).

Other renewables: geothermal, hydro, biomass, tidal, and wave power generally have issues with scalability, costs, or both. Geo, hydro, and biomass actually do already contribute significantly to energy budgets, and costs are fairly good, but their growth potential is limited. Tidal and wave power are limited and require large capital and operational expenses to be effectively utilized.

Nuclear's a wildcard, though I'm generally skeptical.

There are a number of sources which give detailed breakouts of renewable energy potential or possible scenarios.

David MacKay's Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air, and Jacobson & Delucchi's "Providing all global energy with wind, water, and solar power" give a pretty good overview.

Turns out that with solar + wind and some form(s) of storage, you can approach a pretty good overall budget.
