Ask HN: Prebuilt FreeNAS or NAS4Free systems?
I'm looking at building a home NAS for data that is not extremely critical so would like to use Commodity components instead of paying for ECC memory and Xeon processors. I don't enjoy building PC's so would like to have something prebuilt if the cost is not outrageous. Are there any system builders who will build systems such as these similar to what you can get from Magic Micro for desktop and gaming systems?
But do they still update the stable version of ST2? From what I gather "beta" is his way of describing the fact that he's actively developing it
Apple Maps would never have such high engagement if they weren't impossible to delete from iPhones. Their interface pales in comparison to Google Maps
Well, at least realizing your bias puts you ahead of the other 99% of people who think they aren't biased, and you can try to keep it in mind and reexamine decisions. That's what I try to do, as much as I'm capable, at least.

Chargebacks are a significant risk as merchants, because if you start to rack up too many of them then it won't just be the individual chargeback fees for each of those transactions that you have to worry about. As I understand it, you can also wind up paying higher processing costs generally, or even being kicked by your payment services and/or not accepted by other services in the future if your track record gets bad enough.

Then again, even my tiny little start-up manages to advertise an honest recurring subscription fee, tax-inclusive, with no other charges added on top later. In our entire time trading, I think we've had exactly one person complain that they didn't realise it was a monthly fee when they signed up. I'm not sure how they managed to miss it -- we tell them right next to the price, in full size text, throughout the sign-up process. But even so, we just refunded their second payment and cancelled their ongoing subscription to avoid the argument, and that was the end of the matter. We never got as far as any sort of formal dispute/chargeback process via the customer's card company.

So I guess I don't have much sympathy if the kinds of big businesses mentioned in this article can't figure it out and wind up suffering for it under these new laws. These "dark patterns" are obviously deceptive and obviously unfair to consumers, and I'm glad the big businesses are going to have to play by the same rules as the rest of us in the future.
I'm sticking to the theory saying it is volcanic material. I mean, it's common sense. Now, when it comes to the northern lights, I wouldn't be so sure. Maybe a reaction caused by the volcanic material reaching out to the sky? It must've been an immense explosion for it to do that, though.
Indeed, it's amazing tech. It's even better than you think: size of the image is dependent on projection, not size of the medium. If you cut it it will show the same size as before, but with lower resolution. That is one of the things that blows my mind every time: the less data points there are, the less precise it is, but it's all still complete.
Different technology to get results that are in the same category.

Yet the TSA manages to find weapons all the time. On their blog [0], over the last 4 weeks, they claim to have confiscated 156 firearms from security checks. Even if 99% forgot they were carrying a weapon and accidentally brought it on the plane that's still 1-2 planes with a malicious guy carrying a gun every month.

Why does the government need to manufacture and sell the drugs at no cost? Why can't we just repeat what we do with alcohol and have it be produced by for profit businesses and then regulated and taxed etc to offset the health and educational costs of said activities?
Thanks for catching that. I've updated the article.
I can see it get stuck and then you need to get a wrench or pliers to get it moving again. Agree on cool design but leaves a lot ot go wrong.
You can still build your language package manager on top of an existing one. For example, the ebox installer (for the E language) uses 0install to download metadata and package archives, cache things, solve version constraints, etc, but it takes care of actually wiring the language-level modules together:

http://0install.net/ebox.html

It needs to do this because each application is sandboxed. For most uses a generic packager is fine though. After all, most languages also have RPM, Deb, packages etc.
Realtors enjoy lots of laws that protect them from competition. They have considerable market power. See this DOJ website: http://www.justice.gov/atr/public/real_estate/commission-tab...

I recently bought a house and was amazed by the fees. My buyer broker basically opened doors (I don't mean figuratively, I mean he literally took keys out of lock boxes and opened the doors). I plan to do a FSBO when it comes time to move.

Zillow and RedFin are perhaps changing the industry some. I think most people go with realtors because they are intimidated by the process and it's such a large purchase. I will be much more comfortable handling it myself the next time around.
One nail perhaps.

There are a lot of forces at play and real-politic cynicism is one of them, not always one of the biggest.

Ask HN: Moving to Hawaii this winter, who's hiring a full-stack engineer?
I'm planning on moving to Hawaii in winter and while I could keep freelancing, it'd be nice to work with a local company/startup in order to meet people and get out of the house. Are there any startups in the islands looking for a full-stack developer with significant experience in Ruby/Rails, PHP, Node, Angular, React, jQuery, Chef, Ansible, and even firmware engineering?
Truth trumps defamation, but it isn't necessarily enough to keep you out of court; your opponent just needs to find a way to twist your words enough to create a colorable claim. You'll win in court, but that's incredibly expensive and slow.

I wonder how this company could have made it through DD with a venture capital firm, since that would have involved contract review.

You're right, of course. This is the sort of thing that Eisenhower foresaw when he warned against the military-industrial complex, but even with the benefit of hindsight I don't know what we could have done about it. Everyone's incentives are aligned, and in the wrong direction.

Highway maintenance is already a problem in the US, but not because of electric vehicles, it's from increasing efficiency of fossil fuel vehicles and the political refusal to raise fuel taxes to balance the maintenance costs with the tax revenue from fuel. If electric vehicles do become a significant proportion of vehicles on the road, the pragmatic thing to do would be to charge for mileage based on the odometer and vehicle weight.
I suspect I am not alone in not having a printer at home. The sooner they do e-tickets the better, but they have little interest in doing so.

In any case, I take Aer Lingus for flights between London and Dublin now. They're not considerably more expensive, but they are 100x better, and I don't feel like I'm giving money to a shower of utter bastards.
This is the only advice to listen to. Succinct.

Already commenting on HN is too far. It should have all been private. Do no further damage.

For qeorge: If you win in court, depending on the outcome and or any settlement, you can potentially still write about the whole thing in a blog entry if you still feel the need to be public about it.
But is it hard getting packages into the Nix ecosystem? If there's too much friction or if it's too hard to resolve all the dependencies yourself before pushing your pkg, I fear it may suffer from lagging behind the latest available versions of most packages.
Tim Hortons has been owned by a large U.S. chain before. It was spun off from Wendy’s in 2006 and became a publicly listed company that is now widely held by Canadian financial institutions, without one controlling shareholder (Quoting from The Star).

Reproducing relevant parts from an recent article from The Economist:

America’s corporate tax has two horrible flaws. The first is the tax rate, which at 35% is the highest among the 34 mostly rich-country members of the OECD. Yet it raises less revenue than the OECD average thanks to myriad loopholes and tax breaks aimed at everything from machinery investment to NASCAR race tracks. Last year these breaks cost $150 billion in forgone revenue, more than half of what America collected in total corporate taxes.

The second flaw is that America levies tax on a company’s income no matter where in the world it is earned. In contrast, every other large rich country taxes only income earned within its borders. Here, too, America’s system is absurdly ineffective at collecting money. Firms do not have to pay tax on foreign profits until they bring them back home. Not surprisingly, many do not: American multinationals have some $2 trillion sitting on their foreign units’ balance-sheets, and growing.

The real solution is to lower the corporate rate, eliminate tax breaks and move America from a worldwide system to a territorial one.
I've been their customer for ages, surely they could've worked it out.

No.

Australia is more expense then the USA when it comes to everything. Rent, grocery, internet, etc. Australian consumers also have on average less buying power then American citizens. [1]

The medium household income for both countries is nearly identical. $30,932 (USA) vs $30,077 (AUS) ~2.76% [2]

So income is ~3% higher in America, but rent is ~46% more expensive in Australia (Groceries are 32.5%). I would say its based on factors other then average income.

Or, you know, you could learn to code. That would open up a myriad of opportunities for you, and help prevent this sort of loss of independence in the future.
Well, I'd rather have a race to the bottom on tax rates, rather than the race to the top that governments seem keen on.

In reality, it the tax rate wouldn't need to go to zero - just low enough that the cost of paying it outweighs all the costs (PR, resource issues, relocation costs etc etc) of moving to a lower tax regime.
It is worth it. And your case it isn't the language per se, but spreading the ideas. The language is an ephemeral vehicle.

The same applies to other forum software as well, like phpBB and IP.Board.

The only way to get your account deleted is to contact the site administrator. Sometimes though, they won't accept it because it may break the forum conversation, so the next best thing is to rename your account to something like invisible unicode characters.

Unless case law is created in the small claims court, having specific regulations for things which normally end up there is very beneficial for consumers. It gives you a tool to fight the disease - the company committing fraud - rather than treating symptoms by settling in small claims court with anyone who cared enough to bring it there.
I used to work for a major game company on a major title that had a new release each year around the same time of year. Every year, for approximately 3-4 months prior the release of the game, the team would work 10-12 hours per day, 6-7 days per week. As far as I could tell, no one else considered this unusual.
That's definitely a valid criticism, and one that can be levelled to a lot of popular theories like string theory (where holographic theory originates from) and quantum loop gravity. It's a short-term problem though, since we're more and more capable of searching for the needed evidence.

"soon, but that will require changes to the camera and gyroscope APIs on Android phones" is not nearly the same as "can use this today".
I don't see the difference between this and how module systems in dynamic languages work, the key-value database is accessed with require(), include(), import() or whatever. I suppose you'd need to write a shim to invoke the package manager when an unexpected module is requested but that wouldn't be hard.
with node & express I get serious flexibility. Some great examples in this tutorial, getting started with streaming & real time apps with some pretty minimal code. Nice.

This is an amusing statement. What kind of people are you referring to here? Keyboard-warrior lolbertarians, randroids etc? Surely not the black bloc types and their various dog-on-a-string, squat-dwelling, convoy-travelling chums? I would have thought they'd be better equipped than most for a mad max style dystopia...
For me the biggest advantage of the Microsoft project is that it has the potential to be stand-alone software.

It's not the end of the world. I'm sure Android version will be developed faster than Instagram for Android was. My guess it this has to do with a lot of Camera API tuning since it uses the gyros on the phone to stabilize. Easier to do it on iOS and get to market with a decent user base, then start figuring out Android devices one by one.

Common enough for people to talk about it. In some industries (especially games) it's become the norm. It requires mature management-employee relations and not short term profit maximisation.

The Laffer curve for people certainly exists at a point (say, a 70% tax rate), but it is silly to state it is applicable now - for real-world evidence, look at the tax receipts under the Bush presidency, or Sam Brownback in Kansas. Laffer is a smart dude, but the Laffer curve is not an authoritative law as much as a rule of thumb that applies in a few, limited situations.

Tim Horton's marketing has to be lauded for the way they've insinuated themselves into the national identity. It's impressive to somehow make fast-food donuts and coffee into something "patriotic".

I think the problem is that the company is hampered by its own success - coffee has very low overhead and every canadian drinks Tim's coffee at least once in a while. This gives them some impossible expectations for every other project, because every opportunity for growth doesn't see that kind of spectacular margin.

That's needlessly turning this into an either/or proposition. Prisons are a tool. In many contexts (drugs) that tool is being overused. In some (rape) it is underused.
That is so that carpetbaggers can't vote to turn it into a bank.
The reason it exists is for things like git, so they can launch the editor aimed at a commit message, then block until the editor closes and then continue.

It's also useful if you want to open the editor aimed at a file in the current directory without re-navigating there in the gui.

Maybe a few years ago. Everything at Timmy's is warmed from frozen now, and the quality is much worse than it used to be.
Yeah sure but statistically it is not significant. There is a two year chinese kid that smokes 2 packs a day, but that does not mean a significant number of 2 year old kids smoke.

Also if 14% of people smoke pot that means 80% of all house household smoke pot and it is NOT true.

I think Sublime Text was more influenced by TextMate than VIM. (I know that ST has a VIM like mode, vintage mode if I remember correctly).
A lot of ST users are former Textmate users, too. So we've certainly been through this rigamarole before.

Having lived in Australia for 3 years, I've been surprised their 3 major areas were mining, tourism and international education. Even Syndey's next big bet is to build a huge casino. They sound ephemeral, like just taking the money where it is.

Thank you for sharing this information. I think that while jumping into the more expensive lawyer arena is one choice. A shot across the bow of Pigeon.ly is a good alternative. I think hiding behind lawyers benefits only the lawyers. As a civil society, I think people should be called out for their poor behavior, and explain themselves. You've made your case, now Pigeon.ly should explain themselves. A public court of opinion is, in the end, the only court that truly matters. Or so I think.
Surely the sample, however large, must follow the same distribution than the population distribution? If you sample 1000 insomniacs, how do you get anything significant?

My remark was just that, the sample bias has an impact on the significance of the results. I do not know if in actuality people using sleep monitors form a different distribution than the general population regarding sleep patterns, but it seems likely.

The title of the article mentions "Bay Area sleepers", so it would seem to me that they do form conclusions about the general population, not just Jawbone wearers.
Only 7% of the land in Finland and Sweden is Agricultural land, compared to 70% in the UK, so it's no wonder that the countryside is much more inaccessible.

That being said, there's a lot more that could be done, such as allowing kayaks into rivers and lakes without so many unreasonable limitations and/or paperwork.
