No one really has servers In the Bay Area anymore, in my experience. A few startups with legitimately special security needs and competence (Stripe), but mostly people either use the cloud (not in the bay) or colo/managed hosting (also not in the bay, usually).

There might be a run on laptops, monitors, chairs, etc which overwhelm the Hawaii and Las Vegas retailers for a while, but basically California's high energy costs, low power circuit availability, high sales/use tax on servers, etc have solved this problem already.
I'm on 4th floor (not that high) in SOMA in SF. Felt the building shake for ~30 seconds. Heard it too (maybe dishware rattling in cupboards). Definitely biggest quake in SF in the last 5 years, but no damage.
I agree that this limits Go's use scope. But when you accept that Go is most suited for web apps and some console tools, it is nice and works well for the users and the application packager.

The only package manager (pm) I like, is the pm of the distro I am using. If I am on Fedora, I like yum. When I am on Gentoo I like portage etc.
The problem with most web apps is that they have dependencies that don't exist in your distro's pm. I'll take a static binary over a 3rd party pm any day. Let's not forget that one of the most important reasons for the existence of docker is to not have to set up an app in many different systems.
While I am strongly convinced more redistribution is needed if we are serious about the well being of humanity. Economy should be a tool to serve humanity, not the other way around. Unless your head has been stuck in the sand, you might have noticed that pretty much all the increased profits generated since the 1970s have gone to the very few and rich.

Even if you only care about economic growth and not about inequality, there is evidence that economic growth is held back by the current levels of inequality:

Where is the evidence for the case that taxes are way too high? Growing public debt will also be a burden on generations to come.

As good as the NHS is - they hate to dole out drugs unless all other options have been exhausted.

I went to my GP asking for a single Ambien (Zolpidem) to help me sleep on a long haul flight and they said no as it 'could cause dependency'. So I bought 60 over the counter with no prescription in Thailand.
>>> ...then what did they fought for?

In some cases "Dharma" and in some cases, just to show their power or get the titles such as "king of kings" ...etc.

Remember "time" is continuous spectrum and there may be dilution of the above in some cases but since history won't preserve every emotion/reason/circumstances behind every decision of every participant, we can just speculate in such diluted individual cases.

Also, just like modern day games which happen in a stadium, there used to be "war stadiums" where war is confined to that place only (e.g: Kurushetra). This is primarily to avoid loss of innocents/women/children unlike current practice of destructing whole opposite country including small children some times.

EDIT: Just added a new line.
Yep, I can definitely reiterate this experience.

Grew up in Christchurch, lived through the quakes (was in the central city for the more devastating Feb quake).

I recently moved to Wellington, and it got me thinking for a few. I realized exactly what we lost in the Christchurch earthquake. There is a vibrance and sense of community in Wellington that was blown to the to the four corners of Christchurch when the quakes hit.

That said, Christchurch is currently one of the most interesting blank canvases in the world. There are opportunities for entrepreneurship and development that will never exist again (at least until the city is next laid to waste).

The same forces that made New Zealand are those that might destroy what we have built. The fault giveth and the fault taketh away.

They could also decide to allow their devices to be unlocked in a secure way, instead of us having to rely on vulnerabilities, and then them having to fix them.
It's pretty commonly known. See:

>To the people down voting me: please explain why you think it's a good idea to put our digital infrastructure in a place which might well be destroyed in an afternoon when it can be put quite literally anywhere.

For one, insensitivity. There could be some victims even today, and you're talking casually about an event that will wipe out the Valley and S.F.

Second, most data centers are in tons of places for redundancy. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc etc. Even low cost providers like Linode And Digital Cloud have redundant data centers in 3-4 locations around the wolds.

Third, ever done a ping to Australia? When most of your users are in the US, it's not really a good idea to have data travel halfway around the world and back. Even if anything else improves, the speed of light will remain constant.

Fourth, you think Valley based datacenters are not built to endure earthquakes? That they are just some dumb houses or something with racks inside?
It's not "whatever reason". Google is in the content selling business now - which means they are going to add as much DRM and restrictions to their operating systems, browsers, and devices as possible, to either try to "protect it" (which I think we all know it never works), or to please their content suppliers.

This is not just a constant thing we're seeing either. Expect Google to become ever more restrictive and anti-piracy, as they delve deeper into the content selling business. The days of the "Open Google" are long gone now, and they're never coming back.
It's also wrong to force me to pay for your joy ride.

I love the idea of having a layout where all patterns are movable. Going diagonally up-right gives you whole tone steps, diagonally down-right gives you semitone steps. An octave is QT, a major triad is QSD, a minor triad is QWD, a major scale is QZSXDRVT or AWXECFTG or ASEDRVGB. I could pick this up right away, in some ways it's easier than the piano, which I've played a lot. I really wish there was touch response, but computer keyboards don't support it.

The behavior of cmd as the pedal is a little weird. When you release the pedal, the sound should stop. Maybe it's just a Mac bug, though.

The top row seems to be an octave higher than it should be, that interferes with moveability. Though I understand you probably wanted to expand the range.
I should clarify. Every few years there are reports of an earthquake somewhere in Ireland but it's always such a minor quake (usually less than 2.0) that nobody notices.
It's locked because they are selling it at a knock down price to tempt you into their eco system. As a consumer you are free to buy any of the SOC devices out on the market at the moment, of which there is a fantastic array, but they all cost more.
I set up a geofence on the USGS web site so that I get notified of earthquakes over a certain magnitude. USGS will send you emails and/or text you.

"...This, and many other types of artifacts are often either completely overlooked by numerous commercially sold, expensive-as-hell tools, or in the case of at least one tool – seemingly made up data. All of these came into play in this case and would later play a role in its outcome..."

So -- prosecutors and investigators don't understand the tools they use to search phones, judges give them wide leeway in reporting such "evidence", AND some commercial tools make up data to return?

Does this not deeply concern anybody in any of the branches of the government? I hope I'm not being alarmist, but that statement, if true, seems to me to be incredibly damming of the entire criminal justice system. It's like saying the prosecutors determine who's guilty simply by selecting them for trial. The rest of the work is simply acquiring and configuring the appropriate "tools" (Note that it doesn't say they do this on purpose. I guess that's something.)
Australia isn't an ideal location for keeping data center cool either.

What I like about Chromecast is that their integration is simply a small button added to other apps that I'm already familiar with.

For example, I use Netflix as normal but basically choose where the output should go. It's actually quite similar to Apple's AirPlay integration although the Chromecast has never had an issue (AirPlay always seemed to have latency issues).
It seems it has not deindustrialized that much:

"US industrial production rose 0.4% in July to new all-time high:"
https://www.tradingfloor.com/posts/us-industrial-production-...

It's intersting looking at the graph here:

http://scottgrannis.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/industrial-produc...

that there was a big drop due to falling demand in the 2008 recession but before that production was climbing fine in spite of China et al. Not quite sure how production is measured here - $ value I'm guessing
>That is, unless it's not really a technical problem.

It isn't. This has the same problem as all the other solar sterilisers, it says "I'm poor." People are empirically not willing to use these things. You'd probably be better off with a public education campaign to normalise their use, something objectively ridiculous like having middle class families that actually have decent running water doing it, visibily and publicly.
Earthquakes really do scare me.

They are expecting a huge earthquake in my city and a recent analysis I read said if it happens (and happens in the magnitudes they are expecting) millions would die (not from the quake itself, but from not being able to get help, cold etc.). I believe in a case like that entire economy (and everything, really) of the country would fall irrecoverably for at least a 50 years.

Well, if it happens in the night, at least I won't be alive to see the effects of it. (My apartment is old and I live very near to the sea, so there is also the risk of tsunamis. YAY!)
You were downvoted by a lot of people because you showed a serious ignorance of the area. A major earthquake is not going to "destroy" the area. It's a pretty standard part of business continuity plans around here to have measures in place for when a quake hits, and there's enough redundant infrastructure to ensure that any problems are pretty localized. It's drilled into peoples' heads around here that a quake is going to happen, and as such, nearly everyone has plans for how to ride things out.
Honestly, I do not have points to down-vote you but I wish to down-vote since you abused the power of down-voting without adequate knowledge on cultural differences or intentional differences and blindly followed what some authors might have told/wrote by looking just at superficial level.

There is a quality called "contentment". Ask yourself a question? If Europe was poor/ignorant/weak and East can exploit them, then they could have been used as slaves, right? After all, that was easy. Isn't it? Why that did not happened? Because there was no interest/intention in the so called "world domination" or "we are better than you" ...etc attitude.

This is the mindset/weakness of some part of west where you get confidence of your power only if you colonize/destroy other country. But if you are self-aware of your powers, then you do not need to exhibit them unless they are needed.

Concept of Colonization/exploitation intentionally was not part of Eastern mindset/attitude. If you want to speculate, you can but that cannot be truth.
>There's just no way to work on a 13" MacBook without ruining your back

If it's your back you're concerned about, you can get a stand and a bluetooth keyboard. That doesn't have to do with monitor size, just posture.
Ask HN: What programming font do you use?
Well, you can also just buy a cheap one when you get there.

Either just the stand (e.g a VESA style mount) or even the whole monitor, they go for like $300 these days, which if you're gonna stay for 6 months or so makes sense (and you can always sell before leaving -- or leave to someone as a nice gift).
Bloody hell. Last time I looked at skulpt I judged it as an 'interesting toy'.

But it's dawned on me that I'm watching a fully client-side Python app. And at 80kb it's not unrealistic to think about using it in production. Crikey...
The other thing I think people don't often understand (or appreciate, or respect) is that the richter scale is logarithmic.

A 7.0 isn't just a little bit worse than a 6.0. It's 10 times worse. And an 8.0 is 100 times more powerful than a 6.0.

So we're not too terribly concerned with these smaller quakes, even if 6.0 is still pretty big. The one we worry about is hundreds of times more powerful. There are some levels of energy you simply can't prepare for.

Don't mean to fear-monger, but that is the truth.
Yes he does. No problems at all.

This isn't the US - there is a different attitude to it all over here in Europe.

Without being an economist, I can tell you that the first few general books in most any education are simplified. I discussed economic models years ago with people writing code for them, it was interesting.

Subjects based on complex data sets without possibility of experiments are hard to verify for people external to the subject. (Famous other cases are climate science and evolution.)

From that, left wing extremists (I don't know anything about your position -- you might argue against "free market", which was the subject here or "libertarians" which you mention?) sometimes write conspiracy theories that all the academics in economy are idiots and/or in a conspiracy.

So let us skip this and instead look at practical results:

If you have a country with low corruption, competent state administration and a capitalist system you might get a good economic development. Otherwise, you will not.
You were down voted because what you said made no sense. All of the infrastructure isn't concentrated here. You are confusing tech workers with data centers.

From the article:

"Dark net markets make drugs more available more easily, and that's nothing to celebrate. It will, I suspect, tend towards higher levels of use, which -- legal or illegal -- creates misery. "

So, the argument is that increased supply probably will actually increase misery, and will not be "an absolutely fucking wonderful thing".

I think it's this discussion which is the key one to be having - what will happen to society, and what do we want our societies to be?

Not really a security risk if you think of it like an embedded library in your software. A JRE vulnerability is then just like a vulnerability in the app itself and the vendor needs to update it.
What types of products are these? Are they illegal in your country? Or is it mainly import/customs charges that is being evaded?
Hmm, the Dev should get a proper registration with apple. I don't like these untrusted warnings and the need to add an exception too much, nowadays.
Forcing screen resolution / changing aspect ratio is what I'd want. I've got my Chromecast connected to an ancient 4:3 TV and I'd love the Chromecast to support that, or to at least not pillarbox 4:3 Youtube content. Unfortunately there's no setting on my TV to change the aspect ratio, I have to do it on my devices.

(Yes, I know, I should just upgrade the TV, but in that case I probably wouldn't have bought the Chromecast.)
I agree that users of a programming language should understand the implementations and costs of its abstractions. That said, I think lambda is an important enough abstraction that it should just work as the math says, without arbitrary limitations. Anything less than that is a point against the language. This paragraph from "History of T" [1] is interesting:

> Good Scheme compilers use a range of implementations for the lambdas in the program, depending upon what they can determine about the lambdas at compile time -- how they're used, to where they are passed, the relationship between the uses and the definition points, etc. Some lambdas just evaporate into nothing. Some lambdas turn into control-flow join points with associated register/variable bindings. Some lambdas turn into stack frames. But some lambdas cause heap allocation to produce general closures.

I have similar thoughts here. I have been a tester for their new C++ IDE and previously used emacs. I haven't used emacs since starting the beta test program. It handles modern C++ (11) well but there are still some rough edges (support for all of boost & STL for instance) they are working on. Additionally, it has quick-fixes, code analysis, code generation, and awesome navigation out of the gate....no github repo of configuration required.

That being said, once they release this in production, I'll be buying it on day one and won't look back at emacs.
Well currently this applies to Go as well: when linking to the "net" package it links to the system libc shared library for the same reason.

You can build your binary with the netgo build tag, but you must take into consideration that your binary might not behave correctly when running on systems with customised name resolution (NSS) settings, such as nss-ldap etc.

Exactly. I can only add that the borders are indeed very open. I took a plane from Frankfurt to Amsterdam last week without even showing my passport once. (boarding pass yes, passport no)

There are exceptions, e.g.:

* Switzerland, although part of Schengen, will sometimes do boarder checks

* The UK, although part of the EU, is not part of Schengen and will require ID for entry and exit
We have something similar going on in the UK with Cameron making commentary and publicly taking sides on court proceedings.

It's a complicated issue which, as far as I can tell, mostly comes down to whether illegal drugs tend to displace alcohol use or not. If someone who regularly uses alcohol to become intoxicated switches to weed that's a big public health win. If they use weed in addition that's a public health loss. If they switch to heroin they're clearly worse off, but they're less likely to harm others due to drunk driving or induced belligerence.

You seem to have called a spade a spade and some folks don't seem to like that. Yes, that page (the article and the byline) does seem a little anxious to establish the author's credentials. But that should be taken separately from the content.

I'm surprised that the article got so many up-votes considering it has so little technical detail.
