Some other points:

1. This was an obvious bad idea to anyone who has been in Chile (such as myself) given its location. Namely they wanted to build a "farm" and sustainable development midway between Santiago and Valparaiso, along a main highway, in an area that is borderline desert, yet which has a fair amount of development already, housing neighborhoods, businesses, olive pressing plants and the like... meaning effectively the chilean version of suburbs (convenient to the big city yes) and not a rural farm appropriate area.

Alas, one thing americans do too often[1], especially when buying real estate outside the country, is they want to fly in, buy the property over a long weekend and fly out. I think it's too easy to project american standards for property transactions onto other countries. Any time you're spending thousands of dollars, do your due diligence, and if that means buying a retirement property in another country, spend at least a summer there to make sure you like the country! Chile is really wonderful in many ways, but like everywhere else it has its things that are annoying.

2. It never got off the ground. There are thousands of terrible real estate deals that never got off the ground in the USA, especially after 2008. But no sensationalist articles about them. Why? Because the purpose of this article is purely political... it's to give the people commenting in this thread an opportunity to spew their hate.

3. There is, actually, a libertarian "paradise" in chile. Not only is much of the country pretty close to that definition on a lot of scores, but there's a successful sustainable housing / real estate development there which predates this effort by several years. (I'm not going to mention it by name because they deserve their privacy.)

But of course, you'll never hear about that operation on the pages of Vice or Salon, or any other leftist rag. Unless, of course, they become well known enough and need to be "taken down a few notches", like Ayn Rand seems to every few months, despite being dead for nearly 40 years. (such power to reach out from the grave! If only people felt the need to make up stuff to write 2,000 word articles to bash me with 40 years after I'm in the ground!)

[1] as reported in a variety of expat forums and magazines, and based on the way some of these "gringo focused" operations market themselves. For example, the same property in many central and south american countries is listed online at one price much higher (but with a full service real estate agent attached) online, than it is listed in the local listing services. OR pay dollars and pay twice to three times as much when you buy with pesos.
After looking at some of videos and intro, he is onto something with this. You can always run this in vm, I can see how permissions and ownership can get in a way. By using subroutines, he gets every ounce of juice out of his machine.
Also document format, based on his description, sounds awesome.
It took me to about the 3rd viewing before I started noticing some small details. There's an couple scenes where the main characters are touching each other and the arm/hand movement has a weird puppet-like quality that I can unsee now.
> It's pretty disengenious to generalize libertarians as having a low group instinct. Either that, or you are incredibly niave. Many successful entrepreneurs who have built incredible companies have a libertarian bent because of the corruption and coercion they have faced from those who seek to take rather than create.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20422644

Building a company has nothing to do with "high group instinct".

> Libertarian simply means one values the principles of liberty and free will. The only people I have ever met who bash libertarians are liberals who cannot see beyond the narrow world view that has been fed to them by a system hell bent on controlling and exploiting them for its own benefit.

Where Libertarians define "liberty and free will" to mean "absolutist property rights".

But you know, I'm probably just some brainwashed liberal unlike user "911isajoke".
The striesand effect at work. Most leftists have only heard of Atlas Shrugged because of the constant bashing it gets in the mouthpieces of the left.

I wonder how many of them have, rather than burning the book, decided to read it and think about it for themselves?

Cause if you do-- you would no longer be a leftist.

I was a non-drinker during college, but learned to enjoy drinking in social situations after graduating. I got to the point where I was becoming an amateur whiskey drinker, but stopped drinking when my wife got pregnant. That lasted about 7 months and I never really got the taste back.

We drink beer now, mostly Belgian, with dinner. One beer, two or three nights a week. I can't really stomach whiskey anymore if it's not in a mixed drink, whereas I used to drink it neat or on the rocks on a frequent basis. That said, a good mojito or caipirinha would make me pretty happy when I am out with friends.

My biggest motivation for laying off the drink was that our babies needed us and we needed to be there for them. They were helpless and being in a clear state of mind was the obvious way to make sure we could care for them. Now that they are a bit older (18 months), they want to play and I want to play with them so I still don't take to drinking too much.

> For instance, we could hold a constitutional convention ... Instead of doing these things, we make them policy in contradiction of the law.

I agree with the principle ... but: Imagine if updates to your software project required consensus of over 300 million people, sometimes about very heated questions. I think you would only do updates in extremis and otherwise use other mechanisms to resolve issues.

Practically, how do we address this problem?
Like all technologies MongoDB is a tool and you need to pick the right tool for the right job or in this case the right DB for the right work load. We run 100's of TB of MongoDB with 100's of millions of Mongo Ops. Does it have challenges for sure, does mean you can't scale it no. Here's a talk about scaling MongoDB specifically. http://engineering.objectrocket.com/2014/03/10/scaling-mongo...
Anecdotally, the Lightning cable seems to be a bit flaky itself, getting 1.5 stars from 1646 reviews on Apple's store: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD818ZM/A/lightning-to-usb...

Hopefully Type C will be better than Micro-B and Lightning. Also, Type C can deliver 100W of power, which I'm not sure Lightning could do...
Cool, thanks for answering. I hope you won't mind if I pick your brain&ways a little more. So, some questions:

1) Are you doing this white-label?

2) Is this a "passive income" side-project, or something you've put a lot of time to? (Well, it's clear that you've put a lot of time to it... it's a beautiful finished product in every way, but I'm still curious to know how much effort has been put into this)

3) Are you working closely with scalablepress folks, or do you find their api to be powerful enough that you need not get in touch with them?

4) I see that just the blocks are being printed, not the code. There is probably a lot of demand for the printed-code shirts - why not go for that? (is it markedly more expensive to print text on shirts?)
Note also the reason 16777221 is rounded down, but 16777223 is rounded up: IEEE floating point, in "round to nearest" mode (likely the default here), rounds values exactly in-between two representable values to the nearest number whose least-significant mantissa bit is 0. This is done in order to avoid the statistical bias of, for example, always rounding such values up (as we are taught in elementary school).

Since at this magnitude, the least-significant mantissa bit falls in the 2s place, odd numbers fall exactly between two valid representations, and are therefore rounded to multiples of 4.
By providing incentives for multimodal transport (building bike lanes, improving public transport) and removing the incentives to drive (free parking, ever widening roads inducing demand, mandatory parking in the building codes)

It's actually quite easy to change people's social behaviour through a very small number of minor modifications to zoning. Copenhagen was very car oriented until the 70's when they decided to change it, and now it's a model of a car-lite city
> Where Libertarians define "liberty and free will" to mean "absolutist property rights".

No. Human rights. Basic human rights, such as the ones referred to in the pre-amble to the Bill of Rights (well worth reading, and far less widely read than the amendments themselves.)

By the way, using the word "absolutist" and "rights" in the same phrase is kinda redundant. If it's not an "absolute right" it's not a "right". That's the difference between a right and a privilege. Privileges can be taken away, and often were in the government of King George, resulting in a revolution, many declarations and discussion to figure out what rights man had, etc.

Libertarians merely would like to see all human rights respected and protected.

Unfortunately, many people feel like they deserve privileges that violate other peoples rights, but don't wish to admit that they want to violate other peoples rights (like the current popular movement to amend the constitution to remove the right of freedom of speech to people when gathered in groups).
I'm not sure this is what parent^ is referring to. The "male" USB is box-shaped, and the "female" USB has the interior protrusion (with the pins on it) and then the larger slot. The apple lightning cable is just a tab that goes in a hole.

Similar to a barrel power connector versus a headphone plug.

Viewing the comments, no it appears you are not the only one disgusted.

I'm just glad for Slackware at this point.
1) There's no branding on the shirt at all. The shirt is shipped from Scalable Press, so I'm not sure what the packaging will say, but I imagine they have something in place for white-labelling.

2) "Passive income" side project, though with all the HN hate it's turning into a bit more scrambling than I'd imagined :).

3) I do ask them questions since I'm a pretty early user of the API, but it's pretty well-documented at this point so I don't imagine you'd run into much trouble developing on it.
One of the interesting historic tests of any ideology, no matter what, is that it must be able to survive contact with the rest of the world. Example, if your philosophy is absolute pacifism, there is nothing but the good will of your neighbors preventing them from annihilating you and taking your stuff. Even Tibet had an army.

Also. Highly individualistic ideologies struggle against moderately collectivist ones. And highly collectivist ideologies struggle against moderately individualistic ones.

Better organization and flexibility will generally win against rabble and/or inflexible arrangements.
I love the abstract and colorful look. It actually is really nice without being based on code! Some more code samples for people to click through could be fun to play around with too. Have you printed one for yourself yet? A photo of you wearing a shirt would be wonderful.

dojo4 [1] (Boulder, CO) built and subsequently took down a similar product called Speakteesy [2] last year. It's really hard to get the pricing reasonable, show people definitively what they're going to receive, and get a quality shirt. We did our best by generating a to-scale proof image using ImageMagick that a user would see prior to paying, but it wasn't a huge help. Lastly, the shirts.io [3] service was our fulfillment backend and, barring some light documentation in areas, was great to work with.

Good luck!

InfiniDB is/was a great idea. The unfortunate bit was just what a Rube Goldberg machine of a data store it was. I spent a good few days just getting everything provisioned from our automation.
Tough to read (honestly couldn't make it past the first paragraph) because of all the parenthetical expressions (which interrupt the train of thought) in every sentence.

re: shirts.io, yeah I'm using their successor, scalablepress.com. The API is much better now.

I must have missed government agents raping people. Is that a regular occurrence where you are? Because I don't think you have to be libertarian to be against that sort of behaviour. I certainly haven't heard of anyone being raped because they didn't pay their tax.

In any case, if that's your definition of violence, then libertarians are actually anarchists - there can be zero law or tax at all, because as soon as you don't feel like complying, any enforcement becomes 'violence', since ultimately, at the end of the chain, it has to be enforced physically. Unenforceable laws and zero taxes = anarchy. And anarchy is not particularly workable above the level of hunter-gatherers and nomads.

I pay my taxes, various kinds, gladly and without a hint of violence anywhere. As does almost everyone (perhaps a few are resigned rather than glad, but still no violence). It's only when you refuse to pay that a chain of events begins which eventually ends up with you being manhandled by government agents, and then only if you're continuing to physically resist. At that point you can call 'violence', but before then, you're just speaking nonsense.

Edit: Also, you might just find it isn't just libertarians who have a problem with minors and TSA pat-downs. You don't have to classify that as 'violence' to have a problem with it. You say governments aren't magical. I'm saying the word 'violence' is not magical. Something doesn't have to be considered violence to be wrong.

All they would need is few KBs for every user. They can as well just email the exports to people in case they didn't turn up to collect the export themselves (maybe missed the email or are in the woods trekking or whatever). Either as attachments or hosted somewhere they won't delete in 2 weeks.

(Though it shouldn't be a problem for those who have it in their sent boxes, but some even wrote on the website sometimes like I did).

Its pretty similar to how some tsunamis manages to wreak havoc in low lying towns ... a small initial wave inundates the area with a few centimetres of floodwater, paving the way for the following large surge, which encounters little friction due to the existing water.
It was clear to me what I'd get. Awesome project.
Pretty sure it’s grammatically incorrect as well. All those parentheses should probably be removed and replaced with em dashes.
There are enough similarities in purpose, and enough differences in functionality -- USB C has an additional differential signal pair, etc -- that having the designs be similar would only cause confusion. Additionally, Lightning's patented, so making things close in design would require paying royalties to Apple.
That doesn't work for me on a mac. But what about total usage? If I have to add up the mem used for each tab it won't be helpful.

This is on an OpenRC Gentoo system. There's very little duplicated code in the init scripts.

You might well complain that many these init scripts are substantially longer than the equivalent systemd unit files. Your complaint would be valid. Thing is, many of these init scripts do so much more than the equivalent systemd unit files. Ferinstance, the postgres and mysql unit files that I've seen permit no user configuration (like, such as, altering daemon listen port, config file location, and the like). [0] They also don't do any sort of housekeeping such as verification of the validity of the service's configuration file, checking and repairing mode and ownership of the same, and verifying the existence of the service's data directory.

I understand that OpenRC wasn't being considered for Debian Jessie, but it does a lot of things right, and is (IMO) head-and-shoulders above SysV init. (But then, isn't even bringing up SysV init kind of beating on a dead horse? We all agree that it really needs improvement.)

If you're interested, Gentoo's apache2 init script is here: http://pastebin.ca/2845519 . For reference, the apache2 systemd service file is here: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-... .

For a look at a simpler init script, check out the script for dnsmasq: http://pastebin.ca/2845520 . Looks pretty simple, no? At least as simple as the systemd service files we've been seeing, yes? The config file for dnsmasq is a single line: DNSMASQ_OPTS="--user=dnsmasq --group=dnsmasq" .

OpenRC provides complexity when you need it, and gets out of your way when you don't.

[0] I don't have systemd installed, so I might be missing the user configuration facilities. If they exist, and the configuration files have any appreciable complexity, then their line count must be counted against the unit file's line length.
Ah! thank you! I actually think that may be a really good place to start =]

Personally, I would be able to contribute the other half of the operation. I have some funding lined up already as well as some connection for expansion and marketing.
Apparently, its continuing with LED's as well, as I've just had the 3rd "burn out" yesterday. I'm too lazy to count the number of bulbs (~20) and compute my own personal failure rates and expected lifetimes, but my seat of the pants estimates are that the 10 year lifespans are a bit optimistic, given that all three died in under a year (three different manufactures too). The ones that died were in open fixtures, so heat shouldn't be a problem either.

The first couple I took apart to determine if the LEDs were the problem (they weren't, the power supplies are the weak link), this one I'm going to send back to Cree to see if they actually honor the 10 year warranty, on my 3 month old bulb.
Tragic they removed the verbal audio from the demo video. It would have been much easier to judge the visual accuracy if the reconstructed lip motion were combined the original sound.
Ok, on that first test Libertarianism is doing quite well. Having originated with Rothbard in the 1970s, it's growing every decade pretty significantly.

I'm assuming you're not believing libertarians are pacifists, but since you brought it up in an example, the definition of libertarian is: "One who believes that the initiation of force is immoral". This was a pledge that the LP required all members to sign for many years.

Note the initiation of force is immoral to libertarians, not its use in self defense, or in defense of another.

I do invite you to come hang out in any place where libertarians gather. You'll find that they are nothing if not flexible, as half of them are anarchists, half are not, and none think that they all have to believe the same to work together. (half are pot smokers, half tee-totalers, half pro-life, half-pro choice (though they do agree government should be out of it) half are high tech, half are old school, etc.)

This article, though, really has nothing to do with libertarianism.
This is not an uncommon SV story archetype, but as many people have pointed out before me, it's one that highlights the concept of privilege with particular clarity. In the US, both men and white people are more aggressive at this sort of bluff than non-men and non-white people, and there are strong implications that this is because it's a much easier bluff for them.
Does Google still refuse to hire people unless they have computer science degrees? In this day and age that doesn't make sense.
Huh? Burb!!
Just to clarify the manual concept..

The owners of the above companies began with say their website, and then started to build a customer base before adopting an app or further development?
Google hasn't ever done that.
Thanks for answering questions.

Please don't mind the 'HN hate', we're a nit-picky bunch. Remember that almost always you can make it better.

The current upset seems to be about confusion as to whether shirts will have actual code or not on them -- give the folks who've ordered some sort of a clarification note, and hope for the best.

Regardless, this was a pretty nifty project. I give it a 9/10 (1 pt. lost for lacking UX in some areas and slight misrepresentation of product, but I know your next project, whatever it'll be, will more than make up for it :))
Brave New Phone Call
man I just read the article...I'm perplexed as to how I can take this to sell my SaaS product to enterprise customers. It looks very complex and intimidating. Even landing an enterprise customer alone is tough enough.
The story says "Google had a reputation of hiring only people with computer science degrees." Dunno if it's true or not, I'm just curious.
Great story, but that's a diamond in the rough of start-up stories.

For me I'm living like a pauper - broke, in debt, family-less (g/f of many years wants stability before we have a kid) and well right now I'm not sure why I chose this path the past 7 years (2 start-ups).

I do have a nifty/interesting resume, a lot of cool stories/experiences of my own that a day job would never provide and an idea of mine has been copied/worked on by dozens including one that now has 1.5 million users/raised $3 million (not me though).

IS it all worth it?

I think that "running joke" is pretty silly, given that libertarians putting their ideas into practice would be pretty well armed. How are you going to eat them? A naive perspective at best.

Secondly, if you have an example of that happening, please, do present it.

IF you're referring to this article, well, you believe what you read in hit piece hatchet jobs?
