This happens in condominiums. Condominiums were originally intended to be owner-occupied dwellings. Once the owner moves out without selling and rents the unit, things go awry. That's why, as written, most condo agreements are very burdensome upon owners who try to rent (high deposits for rental, long leases required, background checks to condo owners' association, etc).

This can be corrected in the case of condominiums by adding a clause to the condominium agreement mandating that owners occupy the unit and disallowing rentals. Perhaps, in the case of a neighborhood association, the same restriction could be applied (but not likely at any time other than the creation of the neighborhood).

You get what you pay for. Running a full proxy for a video streaming service ain't cheap, so don't expect a good free product.
Well I'm not sure if 'a lot' of prosthetics are being printed on Makerbots, but I did indeed misspoke (if you're talking about 'external' replacement limbs) - what I was referring to were 3d printed implanted replacement parts, like hip bones etc. Language mixup - we use the same word in Dutch for both.

If you're saying that people are printing implants with Makerbot-type printers, that's new to me - I'd love to read about how they do it and I'd appreciate a link.
A very interesting read. Subjective yet profound
I expect they won't be doing much disrupting - but a lot of saving and guiding.

The political aspect cannot be overlooked. The turf wars in government are unbelievable. What's going to let them succeed is by their being successful time after time. Only then will the heads of those other agencies call them up and invite them in. Sort of like the A-Team, but without the outstanding warrants:

Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
Did you try installing tlp (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TLP) for your battery problems? I usually get the same battery life as if running windows.
Some of you seems to know the market quite well - here is my question: I would like to have a GoPro alike Cam for mostly indoor usage (low light) with exchangeable lenses (for interviews). I have used a GoPro3+B in the past and like its size and app based control. But for low light indoor settings it delivers sub par quality. What would be a better camera for such a setting?

We are in touch with the Glofish founders, their business is doing well and they are in thousands of retails stores. The biggest difference though is that we have a very strong technical team who can continue to develop and improve our products, Glofish licenses from an academic research group. Like a software business this is a rapidly evolving technology so its important to have technical co-founders - YC obviously understands this!
Available accessories include:

Waterproof case and suction cup mount
Handlebar mount
Helmet mount

This is absolutely a GoPro competitor whether Polaroid are competing with their own lineup or not.

I do agree that they're going for a more casual angle than GoPro with the marketing and presentation, though.

I think GoPro are in an interesting place - they have an extremely strong brand, but "plugged-in" budget-seeking enthusiasts will seek out wallet friendly clones like the SJ4000 while the casual market is inundated with name-brand options at a lower price point.

> Nope this will be 100G per wave not 40G.

Do you have a link for this? Interesting news if true. Also: Things running at 50G used to be OC768 with error correction, ie 40G of data + 10G of overhead. Has this changed? At some point, the framers have to deal with standardized bitstreams, so is the 50G one part of an inverse mux or combined up from 10G?

Edit: It's been a while. Sorry for the bazillion questions, but curiousity is getting the better of me. Are folks really running 100G coherent undersea currently?
Great video, best of luck in the future.
I think that if you introduced a tax like this, food producers would be more adept at reading the rules and determining what is "added". They could also simple start substituting in artificial sweeteners or the like to maintain some of the taste. There are people who thing that aspartame or other zero-calorie sweeteners are worse than sugar.
It's possessive in that instance.
Yeasts are perfectly capable of splitting starches, you don't need any sugar.
I fear I know the answer to this already but just on the off chance -- is there any possibility these might be sold in Europe in the foreseeable future?
> Intel for their part is nothing short of extremely proud over what advancements they have made over the last several years to make their 14nm process a reality

And so they should be. From the outside looking it, this slow creep of progress might seem inevitable, but it's anything but. Every new process node they hit is a huge achievement, and I greatly admire Intel not just for managing it, but doing it on a timetable planned years in advance too. The fact they're only missing their goals by a few months here and there is nothing short of incredible (in my personal opinion).

To put it another way, some things you can put a price tag on, but fundamental research isn't usually one of them. Pouring billions in and getting steady results out is something that sounds easy, but really isn't, from what I've seen of it.
My father performs long rides all the time so I have an idea of the caloric needs you and him have.

Why did Google deny my request to remove a cached URL that is no longer live?
On a throwaway account.

This is quite frustrating, as the website in question has sensitive details I do not want to share with anyone in the public domain yet. The previous website had my name in it - but when this was updated (over a week ago as of today) to remove my name, a search on Google with my name still shows a link to the website.

I went to Google Webmaster Tools to request a removal of the URL, considering the link showing up in Google's search results is not what is on the current website, and have been denied - twice. Why?
Usually, -'s can mean either singular possessive or a contraction for "- is."
"It," however, is a special case. "Its" is possessive, and "It's" is reserved only for the contraction of the phrase "It is."
One of the things YC has encouraged us to do is ship early, so we are now going to ship twice to our Kickstarter backers - you'll get an early prototype and then version 2.0 as well. Looking forward to sharing our progress with you!
That's because "Tom's" is possessive in this case. The possessive form of "it" is "its" (no apostrophe). The way I remember it: if you can substitute "his" or "hers" for "its", then don't use an apostrophe.
I wonder how many young people will think "Polaroid ripped off Instagram's logo!"?

This and also Windows made more important the office suit.

Before Windows, integration between apps like WordPerfect, Lotus 123 or dBase wasn't so important, so you could buy each piece of software from a different vendor. Solid copy and paste between spreadsheet, word processor and presentation software was the killer feature of MS Office.
For an EE it's pretty easy to put these parts together and make them 'work', but it's fair to say that making the most out of a 24bit ADC is no easy task. That is unless you want 8+bits of noise on the line. You need to take great care decoupling the digital side from the analogue side, and also with the routing of the ADC inputs - guarding / shielding etc. If that's all been done properly it would certainly be worth paying a premium for the time that's gone into the design. I guess the question is has it?
Here's a nice use case example of using fpga to speed up an algorithm in a camera versus implementing in firmware.

I can definitely see the potential for greatness that GMOs have. I'm really glad that you're trying to change the misguided public perception around them.
1. This article smells like a PR Hit from the startup that the "MIT, CalTech and Danish researchers" have put together.

2. A powerful push to substitute something with very distinct (and patented!) client-role and server-role would be just the thing to push the Internet Genie back in its bottle. Needing a license for a server would make good business sense (for Comcast, AT&T and the various national telecomms) and good "national security" sense for various governments and rogue agencies. Making that license pricey could put gatekeepers back in business, so mainstream media will definitely be in favor of network protocols that are proprietary and have a server role and a client role.
Foreseeable future yes, near future no I'm afraid. EU regulations require monitoring of every one of our plants which works for GMO's in fields (but is costly!) but is untenable for a consumer product. I'm optimistic the rules will change one day!

Clustrix - Senior Software Engineer - San Francisco, San Jose, or Seattle

Clustrix is solving one of the most difficult open problems in the software database industry today: scaling SQL. We’ve built our own distributed relational database from the ground up. Now we’re looking for smart and motivated folks to join our small team of developers and take this technology to the next level.

We work on:
- a C codebase written mostly in continuation-passing style
database fundamentals: B-trees, logging and recovery, checkpointing, MVCC
- a Paxos-based distributed system: group membership, transaction consensus, global checkpoint
- a query planner and compiler, modeled on the Cascades Framework, which generates distributed queries
- a rebalancer, which manages data distribution across the cluster

You should be someone with experience in databases, file systems, or other systems at scale and comfortable with designing efficient programs in C.

Here are some things that make Clustrix a great place to work:
- Our team is small, so you get to own significant projects and contribute in a big way to the product.
- We have a lot of interesting problems to work on, in a variety of areas.
- Our customers love us. We help them do things they could never do with their legacy SQL databases.
- We are passionate about making our software work better and faster

Our customer base is growing, both in number and in size of deployment. Their clusters keep getting bigger and their workloads more varied, so you will see interesting challenges and solutions in solving those. We have offices in Seattle, San Jose, and San Francisco, with all the perks you expect from a startup (happy hours, snacks, hoodies, etc).

Let’s build a scalable database!

AMD set to start selling SSDs for gamers
This still leaves the market in a state where the only "premium" games that are viable are ones that have already recouped investments on other platforms.

It doesn't suggest that mobile gaming will ever be able to afford substantial budgets.
I had never read this. Amazing article. Thank you.
Thanks for feedback, @Gustomaximus, it's certainly helpful. Yes, I understand it can't become a big hit, but I'm just hoping to bring it to a point where it is generating revenue to some good level of its total potential.

Thank you for offering your opinion for next ideas, I'll certainly get your view on one another thing we're building.

Contour went out of business late last year and closed shop. An investment group that was involved with the company before bought up what was left and is supposedly going to be releasing new products in the near future here, but most of what you're going to find is old stock, which is why the prices have gone up.

(I have a V1 Roam that I love as well. The form factor is just so much better than a GoPro for a lot of things).
Salute to another solo dev boostrapper from Brooklyn!

Do you have any stats on how effective the "Powered By" link was in getting new conversions?

The oDesk lead generators plan is something I am trying now with finding leads for press for a Kickstarter campaign. It works well when you can very clearly define the steps for what you'd like (in my case supplying the list of Kickstarter pages to research). It has to be repeatable and less up for interpretation. I'm using eLance and have had luck with some admins.

I also had a side project that turned into a full time project. Clearing away distractions and focusing on one product made a world of difference for me (still learning to do this). When I kept things as side projects, I wasnt fully able to test if what I was working on had real potential and I wish I would have focused earlier.

Great post Tyler!
Really excited about the potential of systems like this for simulating biological processes. Imagine being able to simulate the design of biological parts on a computer rather than having to test in-vivo - making development faster and cheaper. This will transform the field of synthetic biology.
I don't recall seeing sugar being marketed as "better than fat". Companies just upped the sugar when fat fell out of favor, because junk food that's neither fat nor sweet won't sell...

I've erased my facebook account this way, and created a new one from scratch with the same name.

Somehow it still suggests me friends from the old account. I can't figure out the way it could fetch this data without actually restoring it from the previous account.
The data was sourced by using ogr2ogr to grab the data from an arcGIS server that the city runs and convert it to geojson. There was also an associated Sales db that I was able to query all results for, so I grabbed those and stuck them in MongoDB for the purpose of linking the parcel data with the property number in the db. When a user clicks on a property, I search mongo for the associated records and update the html via socket.io.
That's why this is actually important: when the President of the United States announces a major push to improve government IT and publishes a policy guide like this, it creates a shelter for all of the people working on the inside who want to do things differently. Nothing is going to improve until the environment changes so that departmental CIO has to justify sticking with waterfall, overpaying for servers, delaying projects rather than using a different approach, etc.
That doesn't sound like the GoPro's domain to me. I see them as rough-and-tumble sports or action cameras.

But low light performance and interchangeable lenses are almost diametrically opposed to what what they're doing. You need a large sensor and lens to get good low light performance (which makes it bigger) and so would the mechanism on an interchangeable lens. Further the interchangeable lenses are just additional parts to fail when you're bouncing around on your kayak trip.

If you just want portability, you probably want something more like a micro 4/3s camera. I assume they can capture video but would almost certainly be more fit for the job.
> It seems cheap, abundant nitrogen fertilizers is an environmental disaster waiting to happen.

Completely hyperbolic. Nothing you've described will be any more likely with cheaper Nitrogen.

Modern farms are extremely nitrogen efficient and runoff can easily be eliminated if the farms are incentivized to do so (aka appropriately regulated). Artificially keeping the price of fertilizer high as a pollution-control measure is needlessly cruel to the poor.

In many countries, the poor spend over 50% of their income on food. Reducing the cost of a main food input by a substantial portion would mean an immediate raise in the standard of living for some of the world's poorest people. It would also open up previously inhospitable areas to agriculture, further helping those in less fortunate circumstances.
Parent poster understood that, and suggests the incorrect usage is becoming standard, as people apply a simplified form of the rule. In the same way, one might expect "whose" to be phased out in favour of an incorrect "who's".

I'm not convinced they are correct (note deliberate use of the ungrammatical but popular singular 'they'), because hyper-correctism seems to be increasing as well. The population seems to be splitting into those who can't use correct grammar, and sticklers, with a reduced middle ground of the relaxed.

On the contrary, the Windows API has endured through some pretty big changes, e.g. from 16-bit to 32-bit and then 64-bit, and from a cooperative single-address-space system to preemptive multitasking with memory protection between processes. (I was surprised that each application had its own message pump even in the cooperative multitasking days.) In what ways do you think the Windows developers' hands were tied by the need for backward compatibility?

Seeing how similar the Windows 1.0 API was to the current Windows APi for desktop apps, I'm actually sad that Microsoft decided to (mostly) abandon that legacy for the new "modern" Windows apps under Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.1. There's no reason why the classic Windows API couldn't have been adapted for these new-style immersive apps running inside sandboxed containers. But I guess the Windows API gained too much of a reputation for being old, crufty, ugly, and unapproachable for new developers; that's certainly how I saw it when I got my first copy of Visual C++ in 1998. But now I wish Microsoft hadn't responded to that perception by abandoning that API, which has now evolved for decades.
Graph Computing at Scale (2013) [video]
Hah yea, this is a particularly nasty part of the language IMO. I was wrestling with it recently. For pronouns, the apostrophe is only to indicate a contraction. Possessive pronouns like "hers" do not use an apostrophe. So "it's" always means "it is." Where "its" always is expressing that "it" possesses something.

I usually refer to this handy illustrated guide http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apostrophe :D

Because if you think you are more an important that the greater world around you, you become a liability to the rest of the world.

> I think most programmers of that vintage must be horrified by the amount of bloat in modern computer systems.

I'm not. I don't miss the days of manually copying data from the floppy drive buffer into the screen device, or word processors writing out bitmaps to print heads.

Some people see bloat. I see not having to care if a file-like object is coming from my hard drive, a URL retrieved via HTTP, a network filesystem, or an in-process fake file generator because they all look exactly the same to the apps I'm writing.

Abstraction is inherently expensive. If you want to support printer A and printer B, the common driver interface has to support the union of both their featuresets. A's driver will be bigger than it has to be because it has to handle stub calls for B's functions. Know what? Having lived the alternative, I have zero desire to ever go back.
