Other than using brew (which I love and use from the outset), I would strongly advise against following this guide without understanding what it's doing. Seriously.

The problem with expert witnesses is that the skill required to tell which expert is more credible is the same skill that each expert claims to represent best. And then you have the outright liars who have made their careers being expert liars in court, like Dr. Michael West, who are not backed up by the medical community, but by prosecutors.

Great writing, could almost be there on the train living it.

One day, if I find the motivation, I'll write up the experience of sleeping rough in the UK and hitching from town to town. 2 winters spent outside, 30 months in total.

A country is full of so many people, such incredible diversity, and yet some patterns as well... groups always seem to form of similar types. It's deeply fascinating stuff just to meet so many people and just talk.
Show HN: How we invested $14k in MRR back into our startup
Apparently all the ZBook HP laptops are missing. I'm writing this with one of them.

At the time I bought it I would have been interested in a query like this: screen 15", up to 32 GB RAM, 3 physical touchpad buttons, no number pad (which turned out to be very hard for 15" laptops - I didn't want a Mac), at least 512 GB internal storage, 4 cores, 1080p or better, next business day on site assistance. Price, battery life, optical drive: don't care. And of course 16:10 aspect ratio, but that would have returned an empty set.

I eventually had to compromise on the number pad even if I almost never used one and I'm not using it now that I have one. I have to shift the laptop to the right to keep the space bar right in front of me. The center of the screen is aligned with my right hand. I wonder what all those PCs designers are thinking about.
The simple idea is then to pre-ship a Hoover Dam equivalent to Mars. Some sort of huge solar array, perhaps?
"I’ve met so many, anarchists to Pentecostalists, Ivy League and Cherokee. I’ve found our diversity shocking. My fellow Americans can be incomprehensible. They say the indefensible. Do the indefensible. I think of that veteran, his struggle from party weekly to wounded gravely. And yet, he explicitly said he’d do it all again, the substance abuse, all the solo travel, the putting himself over a bomb for flag and country. I think that’s crazy. But I’m not him. I ain’t ever taken one step in his moccasins. We are a nation predicated on individual liberty and also a people wholly interconnected and interdependent. It’s crazy chaotic contradictory and increasingly I’ve found it beautiful.

They're linked in the parent to my original reply.

Whose infrastructure? Perks come from Amazon, Microsoft, Softlayer, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, and others. That's a pretty wide swath of hosting providers, but I guess if you want to run your business from a couple of boxes under your desk, you're on your own.

> For most early stage startups, hosting costs represent extremely low % of expenses.

Cost is relative. $5k/mo for a year (citing the BizSpark Plus credit directly here) can make a big difference early on when you're pre-revenue. In the case of TechStars, this is particularly true if you decide not to take the convertible note.
The correct answer is that HTTP/2 has to do this because Google is unable to show you a simple search box without making over a dozen HTTP requests.

Their more involved properties require dozens to even hundreds of requests in order to perform complex tasks like showing a list of plain text posts.

And, of course, they can't possibly impose any kind of discipline on the way they do things, so instead the entire internet has to change to accommodate them.

Right, it could certainly be nothing. Which would be among the better things it implies. It could also be that changing the "makeup" of a society that is heavy in aggressors is not something that can be done.

Criminal is an opinion about a person, but a conviction is a fact. For people outside the U.S., it may help to understand that our constitution stipulates that a person is not to be considered or treated as guilty without a conviction.

There is no rule requiring antiparticles to also have spin 1/2, nor that they in general be n+1/2 spin particles (fermions).

All lepton/quarks observed have half half-integer spin so there are no examples there. The SUSY sleptons/squarks would have anti-particles but integer spin if they exist, though. The W+/W- have spin 1 and are eachother's antiparticle. Z0 and the photon are their own anti particles, also spin 1. Gluons (spin 1) have anti-particles that are all another types of gluon. For composite particles, anti-deuterium and anti-helium both have integer spin.

For what anti-particles actually are, I suggest looking up both C and CP conjugation.

It's quite clearly a political party. If that means you think I'm trying to legitimize them, I'm not, I'm very comfortable in saying I deplore many of their brutal actions and in also calling them a terrorist organisation.

But it is also a political party that participated and won in elections. Whether elections were free or completely closed isn't relevant to basic terminology. Dictatorships have political parties, too. I'm assuming you also wouldn't have called Hezbollah a political party, or the NSDAP, or the CCP? Just because they do shitty things doesn't mean we can't use basic terminology to describe them.

I really respect you withholding comment on anything else for the sake of keeping things on topic. Kudos. I'll make sure to do the same.

My old ThinkPad is near the end of its life (the screen is falling off…) and needs to be replaced. There's absolutely nothing out there that looks like a decent replacement, though. Worse yet, I also like not to have a separate numberpad on a laptop (it makes the keyboard feel imbalanced, because it's even more off-center than usual) and finding that on anything with a remotely usable screen size is damn near impossible.

If understanding is about "connecting the dots" then you need to learn about all the pertinent dots before that can happen. You can't be expected to have a deep understanding when first introduced to something, you have to trust that it will probably all make sense later.
Arguments from authority might be a bad thing on internet fora where everyone is assumed to have infinite time (and ability) to dig into details. In society as a whole, and especially in the courts, however, these arguments are a useful short-cut.

What Are Ten Things a Junior DBA Should Know?
Your not wrong.

Especially if you have been through it before, the apparatus for handling fraud, reversing it, and cleaning things up is so tight that it's hardly even distressing anymore. The biggest annoyance would be updating any recurring payments from that card.

Which got me thinking: How much of my bank fees are spent on fraud prevention and clean up? How much cheaper could credit card processing and banking in general be if banks didn't need to spend BILLIONS of dollars in infrastructure, procedures, and automation to make these fraud cases go so smoothly?

Raising the water rates would punish the people using millions of gallons of water for agriculture and industry. It would have essentially zero effect on the people using it for personal use, even the very poor.

This is actually a great advice - but not all operations can be made idempotent. Adding and substracting money from bank accounts comes to mind (although you can make the operation "write transaction to some log" idempotent, you can't perform the actual computations in an idempotent fashion).
Can someone explain why raising water rates is not a logical solution to this problem? The primary reason why Californian water utilities don't have the resources to invest in large scale reclaimation projects must be related to not charging enough enough for the product. Furthermore, water availability is far more important than water affordability.

I'm reading George Gilder's book The Israel Test, and the Israelis have made enormous improvements in the desert to sustainably farm with advanced greenhouses, and they have pioneered desalination methods. I don't know how Californian water utilities operate, but I presume that increased fees from water consumption would go directly toward improving the water acquisition and distribution network.

Now, there isn't much that can be done about private wells, but responsible water management across the state (farms) will reduce draw down and lengthen the lives of these wells.

EDIT: I see the major issue being that farms probably have private wells anyway, so utility regulation does nothing. Also, well regulation or raising rates would not put most farms out of business, but change farming practices. Total loss of water access puts farms out of business. This argument misses the big picture. Its all moot of farms can dig wells as they please. The state is seeking to implement controls.

Having lots of requests has been the reality for a large part of the web for a number of years now.

> Some of those perks (maybe even all of them) are not things TechStars paid for.. they're things that other companies chose to give away to startups in an accelerator (of which TechStars is one).

Of course they aren't. Many are conditional against being enrolled in an accelerator. However, like I said in a previous post, the linked article relates to turning down TechStars. Full stop. Not turning down TechStars for some other accelerator that offers many of the same perks.

> This is a serious question: if Amazon (and Microsoft, SoftLayer, Paypal, and others) setup a program for startups, give the services to startups, and pay for those services from their own pockets... What did TechStars do to earn a share of the credit for those programs?

They were a participating accelerator in that program, that's all (to my limited knowledge).

In relation to these perks being "game changers" it isn't about TechStars having better perks than Accelerator X, it's about TechStars allowing me access to benefits I didn't have before joining an accelerator that ended up being enormously helpful to my startup.

The "game changer" in my company's case was the peace of mind that comes from knowing that for a full year we can shave at least $5k/mo (once again quoting the BizSpark credit here for convenience) off of our operating expenses. That's a technology hire for us in the city where we are based. So, for us, it means a lot.

I apologize because I obviously colored my original statement through the lens of my company's own experience.

This statement:

> but some of the things offered by TechStars are game changers

should have been qualified by stating that it was coming from personal perspective. So, in the short term, these perks meant a lot to the technological freedom of my company based on our technology needs and the other places we could put those savings to work based on our business needs at the time. For my business, the perks made a difference and were a big help early on, they may not do anything for your business or others.

I'm not a fan of this data visualization, though.
Here is my comment on it for "The tourist map of flash drives" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7465980):

"IMHO you shouldn't do it in a grid, it's confusing as a graphic and in some cases results in wrong representation of the data (which every graphical representation of data should avoid), for example, outliers can be too close to "normal" data, distance between two points is not representative of actual variables variation (sorry for alliteration), overlapping points seem to be different and you can't infer a drive price/cost to be better than other unless they share one coordinate(the worst, because that's the purpose of the graphic)

I'd say your points need to be smaller or you need to use less points in order to represent your data correctly.(...)"

I would add this time that the chart screen size vs price doesn't make sense to me. I would rather have a compound metric for performance/value in lieu of screen size. This would be made according to "weights" attributed by the user against the several aspects of a laptop, so, for me, screen resolution and memory would be the most valued, followed by HD capacity.

I'm trying to give constructive criticism here, because I believe you have something really good that needs some polishing. The fact that you made this in its current state is already applause worthy. It can be better but it already provides a very good service.

I purchased a computer in the past year after using my trusty (overheating) HP TX2510 for more than half a decade. I was baffled as to why numpads were so popular, especially on mid-sized (15" or so) form factors. Was there a significant shift in how the 80th percentile user types, that a numpad would be an in-demand feature? I thought I was taking crazy pills.

Aside from data entry and scientific users, is there a utility-based reason why incorporating a numpad is worth offsetting the keyboard, the typical input method (along with mouse for most users)?

I've bought a handful of 17" laptops in the past and was dismayed to find all the ones I was considering lacked a numpad. Only one I've bought (15") had one. And I really want one.

It's really nice for working in computer networking, where you're often typing long strings of numbers with dots between them. The number row sucks for finding numbers and the dot is way far away.

For home or consumer use, though, I'm not sure why anyone would want a numpad bad enough to make that tradeoff.
