And your proposed solution is what?

let's replace "Bay Area" with something else with limited land: "Hawaii".

Imagine Hawaii is the next place everyone wants to live.

A billion people want to live there in fact (choose any number that makes you comfortable believing it's not simply a "build more housing units" problem), some who have already been there a long time, some who haven't.

This drives the cost of living up. Some people now can't afford to live there. Some of these folks have been there a long time. Some of them have not.

What solution is there to this problem other than "somebody doesn't get to live in Hawaii"?
That is a weird feeling you have.

If it wasn't intended to be run on laptops, why do most OpenBSD devs run it on their laptops? Why does it have graphics drivers with LVDS output? Touchpad support? Why does it have X with multiple window managers and OpenGL with 3D acceleration? KMS? ACPI suspend & hibernate? Sound daemon? Disk encryption?

There are a lot of features that make mostly (only?) sense on laptops, and the developers spend a lot of effort to make sure it works. It'd be absurd to claim the system is not intended to run on laptops.

I've run OpenBSD on my netbook for years. And it works pretty damn well, right out of the box.
I'm so surprised how the society keeps saying how women/people leaving the workplace to have kids is a bad thing. Personally, I would love to have the opportunity to stay at home and not need to go to work. However, being a man, the institutional, cultural and sexual factors compound and make it very unlikely that I will be so lucky.

Maybe I should move to the Netherlands - there, most women and a lot of men only work part-time jobs, as they earn enough and are able to have a better work-life balance.
A little off-topic, but I can't help but remark. Rap Genius is now Genius and provides a service with annotations? I think it looks pretty slick, at least on a laptop. Definitely adds to the experience since it leads to less parenthesized text and allows one to provide context without distracting.

EDIT: Yeah, I guess I did deserve the downvote. Still, I haven't seen it before and found it interesting.

"Mobile DRAM" isn't just LPDDR3. Many cheaper phones use LPDDR2 or something else and Qualcomm's new high end chips slated for Q1 2015 support LPDDR4 memory.

Although it makes sense if this about LPDDR3, as I think every current iDevice except the 5C and iPod use that, whereas only higher end Androids and Windows Phones use it. MacBooks are also considerably more popular relatively in the higher end regions of the market. That skews the figure considerably towards Apple. Especially considering other platforms will start moving to LPDDR4 soon.

"Except that "Basic economics" has a series of prerequisites that people like DannyBee are ignoring.
"

I actually don't believe free markets are particularly efficient, and labor markets certainly aren't.

But I also don't believe you can magically provide a way to make it feasible for everyone to stay exactly where they are, for as long as they like, regardless of job market, housing, etc.

At a base level, as you can see in a lot of the replies, it comes down to "people believe that if they've been somewhere long enough, they now have a right to stay there as long as they like, and anything else is harsh and mean".

Even if i thought this was right, I doubt you can find an economic model that allows this to happen, and can survive long term (and as evidence i offer that, in the history of civilization, nobody has accomplished this).

If you can, great!
I'd love for it to be the case that people can always afford to live where they like, no matter what.

I've just finished Waking Up by Sam Harris and The Trauma of Everyday Life by Mark Epstien. Both of these books are fantastic and really put the answers to the "Why Meditate" question front and center.
One major reason for multi rotor machines is to avoid the classic helicopter problem of the rotor blade's leading edge approaching the speed of sound while the trailing blade is simultaneously stalling.

Unfortunately, this would require such a scaling up of existing quadcopter designs that it's unlikely to ever happen for all the reasons already listed.
Paintings are actualy three dimensional objects. They consist of layers of paint with varying thicknesses, transparecies, texture and even shape from the brush bristles. The only way to recreate it would be by layering at the molecular level, and even then you'd need to know exactly what molecules are where inside the structure of the paint before you could duplicate it. We don't even have the analystical tools to do that, let alone the manufacturing ones.

And then of course there's the fact that not all art is paintings and photographs.

New Prestashop Beta Program Sneak Peek – Nemo's PostScriptum
Project's motivation:

Every time I get a new job I am being thrown right into middle of the action. No tutorials, no babysitting - just a real project and a task to complete.

It is a very stressful and frustrating at the beginning - but - after a short while not only I have completed the task - but also have this feeling that in a month of practice I've learned more than in a year of solving theoretical and imaginary problems.

So - I've prepared an unfinished game - and a plot for you as a new employee.

Let me know does it work for you and what was your experience with it.
I am a bit nervous as this is the first time I am trying to make something more emotionally engaging than technical documentation.

If you like the idea - I encourage you to copy all of my content - and adopt the stories for a different language. I will gladly link to different solutions.
This is similar to the current iPhone 6 gap-jump pricing of 16GB ($199) and skipping the usual 32GB version altogether and going 4x 64GB for just $100 more - $299.

If they had done away with 16GB model and started with 32GB, not many would have jumped up to the $299 tier. So its effectively a price increase, as most will likely go for 64GB model as it offers more value/gb. And Apple gets to advertise it as from $199.

How does this protect me from them not touching my computer at all, walking me in to a different room, tying me to a chair, and... uh... "asking politely while showing me a warrant" for me to decrypt the device and disable any security features?
Or when data is temporarily removed / copied from the highest security locations.

E.g. I was part of maintenance on a defence system once that in itself wasn't very important, but it was kept in an air-gapped concrete bunker with a faraday cage deep inside the office building. Offices outside were used for top secret data during processing, but when people were done working on something, storage would happen in the "bunker".

I'd imagine drives like these would be popular for the offices.
"People choose to live in a place for other reason than just monetary: their family might be in SF, they might have been born there etc. "

Their are consequences to this choice. The consequence in this case is "it is hard to find a job that pays well enoguh to live there".

"You can't just turn your face and say, "Hey this is how the market works. Deal with it"."

I agree this is true. However, literally not a single person in this thread has given a solution to this problem that works over the long term.

"Because when the number of people disgruntled with this system reaches a certain point, bad things will happen."

Yes, revolutions happen. This does not generate a long term stable situation where everyone can live where they want either :)

(in fact, revolutions tend to redistribute land, and often people who were living in places the longest get kicked out!)

"Bad things" just kind of proves the point. If someone had come up with a viable solution, these bad things would never happen. But they happen in places all the time. They effectively reset the clock on some problem, though they often have some nasty side-effects.
This, self-taught as well starting with PHP and their docs (with examples and user-added examples) are the best I've seen.

I've also noticed a lot more packages (npm mostly) with synopsis sections which essentially forms a 'full example', I find these immensely helpful.
I am intrigued of what others might add or discern from this list.
This is a great metaphor - on a concert, it doesn't matter who sees the stage - the important thing is the music, there is really no difference between short and tall people, and noone needs a box. The only reason the small person might need a box is because (s)he feels inferior compared to the large one.

This is just like a lot of feminism. Feminists arbitrarily decided that men's lives were better than women's, and wanted to make it possible for women to lead men's lives. Personally, I consider that being at home is better than being at work, but feminists hardly ever fought for the ability of men to be stay-at-home dads.
Yes. Even worse than that, I remember when the box contained a pile of bits and you had to sift through piles of manuals to assemble it all first.

Likewise, you cannot simply hand wave away prerequisites if they're big enough. The friction here is enormous (the cost to move to another city can be extremely large).

It is because it is still relevant. Apple and most of it's history will be forgotten once it's products start to suck or better ones come up.

I don't know OCaml, but logically it cannot be an actual realized list as the would take up an infinite amount of memory. Whether or not it acts like a function in the language wasn't really the point - internally it must still be an iterator unless you have a computer with an infinite amount of memory.

I read the whole thread from here down, and I must say that I completely agree with you.

Mistakes We’ve Made Selling a Tool Instead of a Solution

I think that's the rule rather than the exception.
The @mailinator.com addresses are frequently banned, but not the stockpile of aliases, e.g. @notmailinator.com.
Yet it's good to acknowledge that a small number of companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter are in practice controlling the media consumption of a large (growing) amount of people. They have the power to make fine tuned adjustements in how people perceive the world.

It's fully voluntary and people gladly do it because it's so convenient. I don't think that the majority of people will ever perform their searches on multiple search engines to compare their results, in the same way they might buy two different newspapers or watch two different TV news broadcasts.

So I think it's a completely new kind of monopoly on worldview, and that the old rules and approaches on dealing with anticompetitive behaviour won't work.

Debian doesn't support them with a big binary blob; by default, it supports nvidia chips with an open-source driver (nouveau), which works fine for most things other than 3d gaming. It just hasn't been ported to OpenBSD yet, though there is interest in doing so [1].

Another thing I see is that Apple, unlike the vast majority of competitors, have very limited product ranges.

This means that as a new iteration is developed, every Apple fan is focussed on that team's output. More so when the company decides to venture into a new area altogether (smartphones).

When Samsung produces a new flagship phone (let's say a new Galaxy smartphone), there's a good chance that a Samsung fan will actually have their eyes on another of the companies lines - the Ace, the Note, etc.

This very narrow product focus has helped them direct the attention of users and the media.

Ask any loyal Apple smartphone user worldwide which smartphone they're looking forward to most, it'll be the next iPhone. Ask the same of any loyal Samsung/Sony/LG user and there's a good chance it won't be the global flagship device they mention.

(FWIW, I say this as someone who isn't very fond of Apple or their products, but I appreciate their design and marketing prowess, in most cases)

It would also be interesting to compare it to C++'s ">>" operators; one of the reasons to introduce them was exactly to avoid run-time parsing of format strings.

I didn't even know there was support for Kerberos in OpenSSl, but it's also under the LibreSSL bullet points as well.
I hope Apple's security employees are reading these articles and are already working on "solutions" to fix the security system's weaknesses that people like the author of this post or Matthew Green are pointing out.
At this stage it has become apparent that opposing surveillance doesn't appear to be helping. It's pretty clear where this is headed, and it seems to me the only way out of it is through it and out the other side, whatever that might look like.

My position on surveillance is now, and has been for a few months, what Slavoj Žižek said: "Yeah but I don't care if we are watched. Here I preach arrogance. So what, let the big 'other' watch me maybe he will learn something and be less stupid, you know, this is not my problem."

If you haven't seen it this video[1] of Slavoj Žižek and Paul Holdengräber on "Surveillance and whistleblowers" at the International Authors' Stage, published earlier this year, is quite entertaining. The quote above is at 35:54.

It has nothing to do with Apple. It has to do with a successful product.

I saw how the iPhone was received at the time. In my environment of Nokia enthusiastics in Europe it was received with extreme skepticism.

Everybody said: "A phone where your fingers cloud the screen never will take off". "The battery lasts so little for a phone". "No way I am using a phone with the battery soldered". "I can't type while in the class, meeting or whatever", "glass phones are so fragile"...

Three years later, all of them will be using an iPhone or iPhone-like phone.

People value success histories, because knowing what is going to success is really useful.

E.g I bought Apple stock before the iPhone launch because there were rumors that Apple would be launching it, and I supposed that Apple were going to do it right after the people of "Telefonica"(a european telecomunications company) offering me something like 60 dollars for the entire rights of my smartphone App, which took months to make and won a big contest as people loved it.

It was so monopolized market that was a big opportunity for disruption.

I won a lot of money with the Apple stock, after that I bought stock from companies like ARM holdings and device sensors as I supposed that were going to benefit from a boom in smartphones and tablets later.

I supposed it right and the money I earned was extremely useful in making my own company later.

On the other hand, I personally met the guy that founded twitter and did not invested on his company, because it was a startup like any other.

There is value in knowing what is going to success, and this is the reason people is interested in success stories, as learning about them let them identify future success.

People care about Apple products only because Apple has a surprisingly high level of recent successes.

> the probability that you will be robbed, assaulted, raped
or murdered at some point over the next 30 years is 1 in 16

Isn't this a little disingenuous? "Robbed" includes you being pickpocketed, or someone stealing your TV from your apartment while you're at work. If you're going to be raped or murdered, it's most likely not going to be a predator that does it, but someone you know. What's the probability that you will experience violence at the hands of a stranger? That is the relevant statistic

The definition of a startup (from PG?) sums up to a company that favours growth over profitability. For instance, a company like Square that keeps raising money to accelerate instead of taking profits.

Just a slight correction, it's debit cards that are common in France and not credit cards. But yes indeed, at least in Paris, a lot of people buy everything with debit card (you can buy as low as 1€ by debit card in big chains).
Combined with other forms of 'big data' it should be fairly straight forward to identify a specific individual. And if not law enforcement has already proven it doesn't care[1].

> Is it really that common to payment with credit card in France? I'm assuming that's only the case in Paris? I regularly buy stuff on card, but always debit if I can help it, and I would assume that that's also the case in the France.

France doesn't really make a difference between "credit card" and "debit card": it's essentially an implementation detail of your card's contract, the former is called "deferred debit" and the latter is called "immediate debit" (or "direct debit").

I believe the latter is indeed much more common than the former (and the default), but even it can have credit-ish characteristics in the form of overdraft (with variable depth and interests, and banks may waive part of the overdraft fees under a certain amount, mine did when I was there).

My point was more about card-based payments in general (as opposed to cash, bank transfer or cheques) than specifically credit-card and cards are definitely extremely common in france (though not absolutely ubiquitous).
I think he meant cross-country transfers, i.e. when you use IBAN. They are not free, as far as I know, in Czech Republic and Slovakia, both being a member of Schoengen zone, Slovakia even has Euro.

Thank You, Hacker News Community
A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post on Hacker News titled, “What to do when your startup gets sued by a big player.”

The post highlighted the major strides our company, Cashsquare, has made in the social media gaming space the past two years and how quickly that success can be brought down with a lawsuit from a major player.

We were very encouraged to see the reaction on Hacker News. We received 38 points from users and the topic spurred a lot of healthy dialogue about the issue. On top of this all, we received some amazing comments from users:

“It’s ridiculous to me that a company can attempt to trademark such a common geometric shape’s name. How did they get away with trademarking “Square”?
crazypyro

“Keep fighting, Boris! Although it is not always the company management’s idea to bully startups (some have lawyers that get paid by the hour so they come up with cases) - it is still sad to see this happening...It would be nice to see startups unite to resist this kind of pressure.”
rikkidi

“Big company, lots of money!!! Expensive lawyers! That’s what big companies do!!! Not nice Square!!!
yan_nazarov

We want to thank the Hacker News Community and everyone who supports us in our battle against Square. We will continue to fight the good fight. And while we appreciate the comments saying we should just change our name, we going to remain calling ourselves Cashsquare.

We believe in Cashsquare and what it stands for, and we will continue to do it for the love of the game.
With risk of coming off like that guy... This is why I would prefer bitcoin for something like this. I don't want to give someone my credit card and trust that they will only charge what I ask them. And I think in the long run, more people would use these kinds of services if they didn't have to do that.
