Hopefully, Xamarin will add Visual Studio support in the Indie dev plan at some point. Currently, if you want to support iOS, Android and use Visual Studio you need to pay $1798 per year which is a bit more for a one man shop.
Linux Mandrake started this way but didn't have the balls to stick with their choices (KDE) and quickly included the usual "do you want KDE or Gnome?" in their setup.

About $1.23/kWh.

Ad verbiage for the allegedly 3250 running watts generator states "engine run time of 10 hours at 50% on a common 20Lb (gas grill type) cylinder". So that's under $2 for 1.625kWh, which is roughly the power draw for recharging the Nissan Leaf in question, which takes 20 hours - costing upwards of $40. More to your point, that's about $1.23/kWh. Not cheap, but a 10x markup is appropriate and acceptable for emergency needs.

Loosing the desire is second place. Excruciatingly, the ability is lost. It's a narcotic, mind numbing indeed. It has negative effects on aspiration, leading to decreased levels of oxygen.

Loosing desire is just a way to cope, switching one activity for the other, as both can't be combined. I am convinced the addictive effect, the positive connotation people allude to it are largely placebo.
I'm rather color blind and have a hard time seeing the links. For example, I had to move my mouse over the text randomly until I found the link was "Surveillance Self-Defense".

When I'm reading the text on the detail pages, I also can't see where the links are.

For example, on this page I cannot see any links and have to search for them by moving my mouse over text until found.

Well...you did call me pretentious. And elitist. And stated I wasn't spending enough time with my family. That was a little judgmental.

But I do get your points on the Valley bubble and the implicit values it places on work/life balance. There's a much higher penchant for career than in other parts of the country. That's why I brought up the fact that I grew up in Green Bay. I understand what a different value structure looks like. There's plenty that I like about it and plenty I don't.

It's always fair to question "what really matters" and "am I doing the right things."

The current state of North Korea indicates that this statement is wrong. When the odds are so overwhelmingly stacked against you, its hard to start a rebellion.

Granted, things weren't looking very good for the U.S. when the revolutionary war began, but we had astronomically good odds when compared to the average North Korean.

To help set the context, some, maybe most, of the homeless people I know have done some pretty stupid things, even committed serious crimes, but they aren't really like that now. The homeless people I know are generally the kinder, gentler types -- down on their luck musicians, artists, more intellectual types. I tend avoid anyone who is violent or "scammy".

This is just my opinion, based my my limited experience. And homelessness is a big problem, so there will be a lot of different approaches. But I see it as primarily a problem of mental health. A lot of the homeless I know were abused, or came from shitty families, or had abusive parents, or any of a number of major childhood issues and their families didn't have the financial or emotional resources to do anything about it. So I tend to see "get tough on the homeless" programs as blaming the victim. I think that forcing people to go into any kind of program or shelter or whatever is just going to lead to resentment and more problems in the long run. Most shelters are pretty bad already, and that's with people who want to be there. Imagine how bad it'll be with people who really don't want to be there.

I think it's important to keep people accountable -- E.g. Insist that if they want to be in a clean, decent shelter for three months and get meals then they need to make thrir bed, do dishes, go to group meeting daily and look for work, or see a doctor or psychiatrist, etc...

What I think they really need is a long-term program for re-integrating into society, sort of like prisoners getting out, one that includes basics like a place to live for a year or two, health care, food, as well as psychological care and job training. Many will be helped by that, but not all. Hopefully, people from the local community or church or something will be involved as well. It's also important that there be a self-help group sort of like AA, but geared for the homeless, "homeless anonymous", where people could talk openly about their life and experiences and be with others who have been through similar things.
More than that. Further still, the publicly available tools trend towards only covering the "algorithm" part of the problem - that's what's sexy. Missing out is things like risk management, money management, allocation, OMS vs EMS, etc.

Trading for most prosumers is a vanity hobby, though they don't know it.

This is half-baked. I started the process to add a business, and halfway through I accidentally clicked off of the 'Add Business' popup. It lost all of my info (I thought), so I started over with the 'Add Business' wizard. Once I submitted for approval, I could then see the old entry that I started. But, you can't even delete businesses yet - so now there is a half-filled-out business just sitting there.

In regards to geography, most of the Rhode Island tech people I know work in Providence as it is the main city. Rhode Island, the home of the industrial revolution, is a great state, but it's so small that many of my old colleagues drove from other states (MA and CT).

Which government? City? County? State? Federal? Is this a legal understanding of the government's purview or a philosophical one? Can public concerns ever override private ones? When? What is people are making morally-correct decisions with clear negative outcomes?

I don't actually expect answers. I just want to reveal some of the depth of issues such as these mentioned.
Now that they've added a profiler as another differentiator the chances of that happening may have improved slightly. They do have 'call us' deals for small/new businesses.

I'm wondering if you would mind sharing what features you miss the most when you are away from Visual Studio? I've not tried it but I'd guess a lot of the editing is possible even if you do wind up stuck using Xamarin Studio for building and debugging.
One of my favorite things about this article is it's a dad (with a spouse who also works), talking about how important his family is to him and his struggles to have both family and work (AKA "having it all" when some women talk about the same thing). It's refreshing, because it shows that wanting to be both a caregiver and a breadmaker for your family isn't just a women's issue. I wish more articles would come out like this.

"Doesn't that mean that Verizon isn't actually offering TCP/IP (Internet) access, since they corrupt my protocol stream in transit?"

This is a serious answer: Go back and look at what they actually promise to deliver. Bet it doesn't have the word "TCP" in it anywhere. You can't hit them with contract violation when they aren't in violation of their contract. (Well, you can lodge any lawsuit you like. But it won't go well for you.)

I've found the best machining resource is working with a good machinist. Quite a bit of machining is about intuition and properly evaluating other sensory inputs - knowing how to interpret the sound a cutting tool makes is critical!
Unfortunately, finding a good machinist willing to let you watch them in person - or better yet, work under their supervision - is pretty hard, especially if you're just a hobbyist. Crotchety old-timers don't scale particularly well...

Youtube is one of the better resources right now, for anything other than really basic calculations. There seems to be a trend of old-school professional machinists documenting jobs they're working on - sort of a cross between a tutorial and virtual job-shadowing. Some nice users include oxtoolco, KEF791, Abom79, and mrpete222.
After trying and failing to get everyone to use use email/facebook/aim/google hangouts for a community that I help manage, I moved everyone to Slack for communication. Right now we're at the free tier, but if we ever make some money - I think moving to the paid tier is something we will do.
The cool thing about MEAN is as a front-end developer you have the ability to trace all the way down the stack without having to learn another programming language (JavaScript) but it works primarily with MongoDB.
Similar to Firebase is Backand.com which also provides you a REST API but to any database, which means you can work with your own MySQL or Postgres database. Unlike Firebase, Backand gives you a bunch of AngularJS UI directives to begin with so that it makes getting started very simple.
Another technology is PhoneGap which can make your Angular web app into mobile apps using standardized web APIs.
At least with that page I "did not receive X-UIDH header" on T-Mobile. Didn't check for headers with other names.
Even with ad blockers disabled, I only see CPNI settings (which I'd already set to "Don't Share") at https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/accountholder/profi...

http://uidh.crud.net/ also says "did not receive X-UIDH header."

I never, ever give money to panhandlers. When I lived in a city where the most common panhandling request was for bus fare, I used to carry ride vouchers to give out.

I just don't think you should ban panhandling because it punishes the people who need help instead of helping them.

I also don't support the "this behavior creates problems, so ban it" mentality, as it allows people to avoid addressing the underlying issues.

I imagine much of the same will happen. People will live their lives like always, and sometimes escape to a fantasy world, just now using a different new technology. Also like now, some will be addicts. We've had many new entertainment technologies come and go, each one thought to be more engaging than the last, but the fundamental behaviors of human beings seem to be the same.
> Really, Brave New World minus the implausible bits and with a larger dash of individual freedom thrown in is pretty much as far from dystopian as it can get. Radical, certainly, and jarring—very different from our current social order—but fundamentally good.

Exactly. Symptoms of "growing pains" include struggling to meet obligations, disorganized management, etc. A blatant disrespect for others is a symptom of a person lacking in morals and empathy.

Question about Docker and supported ISAs
I am new to computer programming and computer architecture, and have a stupid question on the relationship between Docker and underlying hardware instruction set architecture (ISA). My question is: if Docker (or Linux Container in general) is built on top of OS of Linux, and also if Linux runs on various ISAs (e.g. x86, PowerPC, MIPS, ARM, etc.), why Docker cannot run on those ISAs out-of-box? By reading the post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6709517), my impression is Docker may be able to run on different ISAs in the future, but so far only supports x86_64 and ARM. I wonder why is that, why cannot Docker run on Linux unmodified which runs on many ISAs? I guess my real question is what is the relationship between the layers (hardware <-> OS <-> Docker). Thanks for your comments!
I like the way you think. I'm sure it is not perfect, but it is a good place to start.
This is a necessary facility but I can't see how it will solve Apple's quality problems. Just spot-checking my personal pet peeve, they're still showing a hotel in the middle of Oakland that was torn down several years ago, even though their aerial image, which is also very outdated, shows the site as a vacant lot.

Nobody has incentive to remove their defunct business from Apple's maps using this tool. Apple either needs real crowd sourcing from the public or their own internal quality people prowling around.

Complete and utter nonsense.
We just migrated over to VPC as well, and came across a really weird "bug".

We auto-scale EC2, and randomly when auto-scaling, the new server couldn't connect to memcache (ElastiCache). Note that when you migrate over to VPC you have to migrate everything -- launch new ElastiCache servers in VPC, EC2 servers, RDS servers, etc.

Back to the bug.. I'd ssh into the EC2 server, and when I telnetted to memcache, it wouldn't connect. I terminated the EC2 server, and a new server comes up and can connect fine. I made a forum post in AWS forums and got zero responses. We then bought into AWS support and I submitted a ticket.

The problem: I launched my ElastiCache servers in the same subnet as my EC2 servers. Apparently the ElastiCache servers by default remembers servers in the same subnet by Mac address. Since we were cycling EC2 servers, eventually we'd get one with the same Mac address but new internal IP address, and I'm no networking guy but apparently this caused a routing problem.

Solution: create a new subnet and launch all the ElastiCache servers in that subnet. I did that, and it fixed the problem. The AWS support rep said if the ElastiCache servers are launched in their own subnet it will force them to go by IP instead of Mac address.

Anyway, hope this helps someone out ;)

It's peak usage traffic that's affected. During the day, when nobody is using the network, it should be pretty zippy. In the evening, their connections to the internet will be congested, and I wouldn't be surprised if you had trouble with 1 Mbps streams. It's ludicrous that they charge for 300 Mbps service while actually providing measurably worse service than 20 Mbps Sonic DSL, and they have gotten away with it.
Or even, now that I think about, just some kind of internal cross-checking tool that would fix up problems like this. If they've got a 3-d box model of the alleged thing, and they've got imagery, and there's no way to reconcile the image with the model, someone should look into that.

Xamarin Studio is definitely rough around the edges but for the most part it seems to get the job done. For example, I've had issues where the update dialog steals the modal focus from the source control dialog(s) and that's basically the end of all interaction with the app until I restarted it.
Yeah wow I need to get off Hacker News. These are scary hive-mind hedonistic ideas.
Burned cash no longer exists. (Which, by imputation, slightly raises the value of existing cash.)

This Apple 1 continues to exist (as does the money paid for it), and may be sold again - likely for much more than it cost the current owner. It didn't devalue, being a unique historical artifact (ok, 1 of about a dozen functioning Apple 1s), instead it likely increased value precisely because he won't sell until someone is willing to pay more for it - and with the increasing influence of Apple, and increased prices paid for artifacts, there likely will.

Your grasp of basic economics is...fractured.
I agree, I went to a conference the other weeks where the talks where extremely informative but after a day of presentations it becomes very hard to listen even if you're passionate about the topic.

I enjoy the more casual approach than the dry textbook approach, I don't have an academic background however and that may be the difference.
"Working your ass off" and "being passive" are utterly orthogonal when discussing societal control.

Weed does seem to foster novel insights about longstanding things, but when it wears off the thoughts don't seem so coherent or actionable - imho. Then again I only smoke occasionally and socially, and haven't really tried eg coding while high.

I personally think all laws against drugs are immoral. But I see the present absorption of marijuana into the status quo and can only lament "not like this" - counterculture sucking up to power via taxes, regulatory complexity increasing rather than simply being erased, and persecution of other drugs even stepping up (not that I really want to see anybody putting needles in their arm. but public health, not societal banhammer). Feel good rationalizations like "change is slow" only make sense if you aren't simultaneously taking multiple steps back in other areas, and focusing on one substance seems quite myopic.
I rather like this interpretation, actually. But I'm still going to try disagreeing.

Speaking more broadly, Orwell portrays a world where the freedoms of people are forcibly oppressed, whereas Huxley portrays a world where they are willingly oppressed. The people in Brave New World are more caught up in (what Huxley might call) a shallow culture, disinterested in the real world. This view does not seem so far fetched after all. Looking at the modern world, how easy it is to turn a blind eye to the troubles of far off countries when you are living in relative comfort?

Fahrenheit 451 is interesting novel to consider from this point of view as well, as I think it portrays a middle ground between these two extremes.
What's even more frightening is we're getting both.
