So Bush managed to pressure Clinton into believing into Iraqi WMDs even before he was elected? That's a neat trick.
This is true. I have an email account that gets effectively zero email (other than Slack notifications). Don't know if this makes me more productive - IM seems like more of an interruption than email, but it's definitely interesting.

Learning Python was certainly easier for me. I could really hit the ground running. OCaml had a much steeper learning curve. It took me a while to get used to the compiler and the different style of programming.

However, I'm a professional. Some of the powerful tools I use take a serious investment to learn. Here it paid off well.

Now I find that Python programs are easy to start but OCaml programs are easy to finish. The compiler is an invaluable helper that I miss when using other languages. Some syntax is clunkier than others but to me having good types (and a good compiler) makes or breaks a language. I can get my work done in anything but this is an area where the language really helps me out.

Depends on the task and my mood. Classical and prog-rock are the most common for me. Lately, I've found myself not having any music most of the time—I'm better able to concentrate without it. I think that's partially because I am a musician, and I find myself analyzing it (regardless of whether it has words).
I beg to differ. Google may have the strongest native advertising platform. It's called Gmail/Inbox/Now.

Google knows exactly when you're thinking about a major purchase like an automobile because they see your e-mail and search traffic. Nudging you towards that car brand via Now or Inbox may be quite effective.
I'm at a YC startup, and our culture is very much to not have late nights, work people to death, etc. The belief here is that working people to the bone does not build a scalable business, and the only way to grow at a sustainable pace is to maintain regular work hours, have realistic goals in terms of work, and to give people a life outside of work. Sure, we all monitor our emails on our phones, and on occasion we need to work a little extra, this is still Silicon Valley. But many people here have young families, and the office is pretty empty by 6:00pm.
Those are some really foreign concepts to me, but OK. Thanks for explaining!

Given all that the SF rent wars make a lot more sense.
> It is high time for the members of the European Union to wake up and behave as countries indirectly at war. They are better off helping Ukraine to defend itself than having to fight for themselves. One way or another, the internal contradiction between being at war and remaining committed to fiscal austerity has to be eliminated. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Just a way out of the bullshit austerity programs instated in many European countries that helps the globalists instead of people in their respective countries. Yay to being part of the EU!
Yes, it is illegal but also common. (The article also talks about something illegal but that doesn't stop it from happening and is quite common).
I agree. Whatever the issue, this just cannot be the solution. It's also troubling that such a law can even exist in a supposedly free country.
That's the main benefit for us as well. I compare inboxes with friends who don't use Slack at their company and its a stark difference. They'll have tons of giant chain emails about pointless stuff.
>This list connects people who want testers, with people who need them.

I get what you mean, but this doesn't quite make sense.
You did every single one of those things to yourself. In each of those situations, you had a choice, and you made it. "Startup culture" isn't to blame. YC isn't to blame. Investors and sales meetings aren't to blame. You are. You decided your business was more important than your family.

And maybe it was. I wasn't there; I can't say.

Please understand, I'm not moralizing here. I'm not saying you were wrong. I'm aware there are consequences to any of the choices one might make in these situations. I'm merely pointing out the demonstrable fact, by virtue of your self-reported behavior, that you chose your business over your family in each of these cases you're lamenting.

Own it. Don't point at something else, all, "But that thing over there." You made a choice that was unequivocally yours and yours alone to make.

Managing CoreOS with Ansible
CoreOS provides own cloudinit implementation to manage itself.

Recently DigitalOcean introduced CoreOS support as long as it's metadata service. The service allows to set custom user data to provision new droplet.

Unfortunately, user data can't be edited after droplet is created. It reminded me the concept of immutable infrastructure when servers are considered as replaceable resources.

The article in the topic brings Ansible into toolbox for CoreOS cluster management. This approach looks promising.

How do you manage CoreOS machines? Do you use configuration management tools?
You may want to check out the TV adaptation with Keir Dullea, which was quite funny. It showed me the humour that was running under the surface of the novel.
The above plan will have the effect of landlords knowing how much those only on the minimum living allowance can pay. Combine that with the ability to still perform credit checks and it's ripe for abuse. If you have a guaranteed minimum income that is suffcient to qualify you for the apartment, you should probably be able to skip the credit check for it.

Citing Hong Kong struck me as odd. It's probably better being homeless in certain states. I think most people have seen the following, or similar, set of pictures about Hong Kong micro-apartments:

http://inhabitat.com/exhibit-on-the-micro-apartments-of-hong...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cage_home

Real urban planning has low income housing distributed throughout the city. If not, the wage slaves have to be shipped in. Some form of rent control/social housing incentives have to be in place. Otherwise you get situations in the states where welfare mothers have to bus 3 hours each way to get to their minimum wage job.
I think the climate in Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil is heading to a combination of both dystopias.

On one side, Chaves, Evo Morales and Lula assembled fantastic propaganda machines in order to ensure their respective parties continue in power. They claim that those countries are at war against the "imperialists".

On the other, they provide plenty of "soma" in the form of popular sport and music events and public subsidies.

> What principle allows us to restrict smoking on private property that wouldn't also allow us to restrict people feeding the homeless?

Principle of "you have your freedom as long as you do not restrict other's freedom". Smokers restrict freedom of those who want to breath air that is not harmful. Hobos restrict freedom of those who want healthy sanitary environment without drug addicts and asocial behavior in public space.

If you want to allow hobos to live as they live, you also have to allow anyone pull their pants and piss right near you in bus or park, allow anyone to harass anyone else for no reason, also allow your kids to communicate with asocial people that have nothing to lose whatever they would do. If you actually think hobos do nothing bad to people you have not met any hobos.
Yup in theory. In practice you would call up your legal counsel, and they'd ask you how hard would it be to re-engineer your protocol to not break by Verizon. If the answer is anything less than 1 year and tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars then they'd advise you to just fix your protocol.

On the other hand if your spouse is a lawyer and wants to make a name for themself then you'd consider moving forward on failure to deliver service / false advertising / etc.

That's entirely beside the point. They are specifically looking for those rare, billion dollar companies.

See: http://paulgraham.com/swan.html

The fact that most of the companies don't hit $1 billion is not at all relevant. That's to be expected when hunting for companies that are rare by definition (black swans). It speaks nothing to the intent of the investors.

But the costs of running a business are much more than taxes and regulations.

Here is the TL;DR:

Businesses want the benefit of low taxes (lower immediate expenses) with the benefit of high taxes locations (government provide services that the business would otherwise have to pay).

But low tax utopia fails if no one pays high taxes needed to provide the services.

Thanks Rosser. To be clear, I didn't feel I was blaming or lamenting anything. My point with the article was to share "these are my choices and how I made them." Some favored the business, others favored the family.

Thanks for the info.

I'll make sure we file bugs as repro-case-able issues come up, but if we get stuck on a deeper mystery, we may need some more direct help. We've made a lot of progress, and from a logic and speed issue, a lot has been resolved and mostly working, but animations are janky, and from "subjective" speed point of view, it unfairly makes FF look bad. Based on previous experience with Chrome, hitting the sweet spot of 60fps is usually where the JS developers need help from the rendering engine folks.
If I could roll my eyes any harder I might throw an exception.

Thank you for linking to your own opinion on a different website.

Your liberal viewpoint is deeply misinformed. The fear of WMDs was also shared by Bill Clinton when still in power, Hosni Mubarak, the French Intelligence services, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

The WMDs found may not be on a scale with what, say, Russia could produce or even on a scale with what was expected, but they were there.

The notion of psychedelic drugs is a convolution of terms, not very surprisingly, considering the adverse effects drugs have on the users who'd describe the effects. Huxley used LSD for example.

The term you are looking for is trance. Think of those manic church sessions, where people feel all so connected to god and go stark raving mad. Psychedelic trance can be achieved playing music or through meditation, as well.
I like both 1984 and BNW, for different reasons, so my comment is not directly related to those books; I'm simply growing somewhat frustrated of "happiness as an end-goal" being perceived as wrong, and that's certainly not the point either of those books were trying to make.

I agree that there has been a sickening amount of "feel-good" propaganda in the relatively recent past, in no small part thanks to the movie industry, but please note that this "feel-good" tendency and the true pursuit of happiness are two completely different things.

I'm under the impression, possibly wrongly, that a lot of people confuse instant gratification with happiness. Confusing the two is seeing the forest for the trees, like assuming sex is the same as love. Real happiness is deep-rooted, it isn't swayed easily, nor is it a direct consequence of transient events.

No real advocate of the pursuit of happiness has ever believed that life was inherently happy, however most think that life provides the conditions and the tools to make it happen. The subject has evidently been discussed ad nauseam, but I think Buddhism[1] covers the basics really well.

> One of the many paradoxes is that if you accept unhappiness and just get on with the job, greater happiness can follow.

Subsequently (and hopefully not being too pedantic) I don't think there is any paradox here, simply a misunderstanding on your part. I honestly don't think "unhappiness" should even be a word, there is "sadness", but even that is not a direct antonym of "happiness". In your sentence, replacing "unhappiness" with "trouble" (or "problems") shows that there is no paradox, simply a difference in scope(s) of understanding.

I'm not even sure any of this makes sense to anybody, it took a very long time for it to even make sense to myself.

This is a somewhat related question about MetaTrader, which is the most popular FX platform.

It could be considered paranoid and jingoistic, so I apologize in advance to all the great Russian hackers out there.

Does anyone know anything about MetaQuotes (the maker of MetaTrader)? They're a trusted solution provider to many of the biggest banks in the world, and yet in my experience it's difficult to find anything about them online (the company, not the software).

I know it's a broad stereotype, but many Russian companies don't have the best reputations when it comes to business ethics. It's an open secret that many of the top oligarchs formed more or less a kleptocracy with the Putin administration, and that the rule of law is pretty shoddy when it comes to Western companies or individuals seeking justice.

Traders all over the world plug in their algorithms in plain text right into MetaTrader. Realistically, do they have anything to worry about, or am I being completely paranoid?

I don't mean to disparage MetaQuotes. As I said, I don't know anything about them, and they partner with big financial institutions all over the world. Many of these companies provide customized versions of MetaTrader, so I would imagine they might have access to some or all of the MetaTrader source code. I guess I'm just looking to be reassured.

What steps could a trader take on any platform in order to reduce exposure to potential bad actors? Is using an API from a broker the only solution?

Anyway, again my apologies if I offended anyone.

Update: their Wikipedia page has a few more articles on them than I remembered. Also, technically they are registered in Cyprus, but were founded in and are primarily based in Russia. Still, I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this issue:

Intelligence services are currently setting up the ultimate tool for creating a totalitarian state that cannot be overthrown. Every little bit of dissent can be stopped cold with an all-seeing intelligence apparatus. Historically a dictator needed soldiers and police officers to enforce his power. A single human couldn't be a dictator against the will of the army and police. We are building fully automated weapons that need no human pilot. This means that a single person can command an army without depending on anybody else.

If these two developments are allowed to continue, 1984 doesn't sound unlikely at all to me. There just needs to be one point in history where somebody grabs the power, and then it will be impossible to take that power away.

I do not understand why you would hold such a false impression. Anyone can indeed attempt to sue you for anything, however that says nothing about their likelihood to succeed.

Say I am untrained in any rescue or medical procedures. I witness a car collision, and a rider was ejected from a vehicle and lying next to it. I proceed to move them due to perceived fire hazard, however they in fact have a broken neck and die due to my moving them before stabilizing the neck. If it could be reasonably argued [0] that the person would have lived with proper intervention had I not intervened, why should I not be liable for that?

In fact, without a Good Samaritan law in effect, I am potentially liable for the rider's death. I can be successfully sued by the survivors. The whole point of Good Samaritan laws is to reduce or eliminate this liability to me in exactly these scenarios.

Now, if I do nothing, I am likely to only be liable if there is a duty to rescue [1].

> Will Windows run on it? Well... Yeah. Windows runs on everything powered by an x86 processor.

I've tried installing Windows 7 on an old Dell laptop a while ago. I got it working eventually, but had to hunt around for drivers for various things -- rather important things, like network, and video. In the end, I had to persuade some download site to give me the Windows XP drivers for the video card, and it worked with that (which, btw, is pretty awesome).

Of course, this is just anecdote, just like any story about Linux not working immediately on some modern laptop is -- but my experience is that these kinds of issues are much rarer than 10 years ago. Especially with Linux (with which I have most experience), but also with Windows.
If you're specifically looking for a convenient way to use Docker for development, don't use Vagrant. It tries too hard to abstract Docker away, so it's not a good choice if you care about compatibility with the rest of the ecosystem, keeping up with future improvements to Docker, etc.

If you don't care about benefitting from Docker specifically, then it's worth evaluating Vagrant for environment devs, it's a good tool.
