Good point. He should call the CIA instead.
In this context, pretty much all "fridges" have the capability to "make coffee" built in. Most owners aren't aware of this, but that doesn't change that the features are still there.

I know, right? Those fig trees are such scumbags; they totally deserve to wither and die.

We do track those numbers. They've been dropping.
I like the way you put this. well done.
In terms of velocity and trifty syntax F# is almost as nice as these dynamic languages. It can even be used for scripting.
> The sigil-based graphics are part of what make the complexity possible

I don't think that is relevant, I have played the GUI version for many years, and it's perfectly usable.
Explore one of space travel’s biggest ideas: the Dyson sphere
Includes an interesting account of Robert Jesse's (former Oracle VP, software engineer) efforts to resurrect this research:

When the history of second-wave psychedelic research is written, Bob Jesse will be remembered as one of two scientific outsiders who worked for years, mostly behind the scenes, to get it off the ground.
>And I find that regardless of how bad things were beforehand, or how light the resulting regulation, the response from AnCaps is always "You touched it, you bought it!"

I'm not even sure what that means.

>Nonetheless, the history of Standard Oil is a pretty compelling example of a natural monopoly.

I'd wager that what you think you know about Standard Oil is probably mythical and not based on historical fact.

>For the first company, the entry cost may be high, but since there'll be no competition, there's potential for decent profits.
>The second company faces the same entry cost, but they also have to compete with the first company, so their potential profits are much lower.

And yet I know of cities which have half a dozen ISPs (none of them publicly owned). As I said previously if the existing company/ies are not satisfying customers, then there is room for competition. The second [or third, or fourth...] need not even compete on the same scale as the existing ISP[s]. A local entrepreneur seeing the need, could just wire up his neighborhood. I know of cases where this has happened.
Or any huge number of variations, the more the better because people can learn patterns very easily.
Costco will print arbitrary images up to 36x24 (their largest size here) for under $10.

$40 for running a shell script and sending the file to the printer seems a bit excessive.
Looks nice. How can I use this in my content marketing strategy?

Ask HN: Professional Job from Starting an OS Project
I'm looking to start my own Open Source project that will be built on the BSD's. I'm going to be looking at this as a portfolio and hobby since I will not be getting any income from it. How many people have gotten a job from their work on a hobby project? (Instead of professional work at x company)

And how much time have people been still been able to dedicate to their project after land a new job?

Has anyone got a job that allowed them to continue working on their project or is anyone now getting paid to work on there?
Thanks for the input on this question, very useful. It would be great to talk with programmers on this thread in more depth about the issue. The story is about the Bay Area, so unfortunately it is a bit limited. I am interested in anyone who is looking to buy a house and settle down. What has that process been like? What class do you see yourself in? Do you worry that there will be a flood of programmers that will drive down your wage?
For me I work in the same building as the laboratory, therefore I use a collection container and deliver it "fresh" to the lab. I'm lucky because I'm fairly regular and donate around the same time everyday (9am) therefore I just walk down to the lab. A fellow donor is more of a night person, so they store it overnight in a container and bring it in the next day.

The containers are just plastic containers (like a margarine container)m, single use. You place it in a trapezoid shape holder. Then place it on the toilet. If you place it one direction it collects stool, if you place it the other direction it collects urine. So yes, we do keep them separate.

If I have a bout of diarrhea, I stop donating and wait for it to clear. I then collect samples and send to the lab for testing (ova and parasite, regular fecal culture, norovirus, hepatitis and some other viral testing). If I'm clear, I can continue to donate. This same process happens if I go on antibiotics or if I travel out of country. So anything goes, minus liquid stool.

As for diet, I'm actually encouraged not to change my diet. My flora has shown to work well for recipients, and therefore if I change my diet I might change my flora.
Am I the only person that things the sheer number of people that have had scaling issues with mongo is a GOOD thing? I think it speaks to changing technology landscape and attitude towards data.

Many more people are collecting and working on larger data sets than they would have ever dreamed of years ago. I credit MongoDB, in part, to allowing developers to do this and encourage them to try. Sure it has it's limitations and may not be as great in areas as other databases, but, wow have a lot of people tried and succeeded.

tl;dr, If reverse survivor-ship bias is a thing, I think mongodb has it.
Yes. It is arguably larger news for io.js.

However, that io.js ships with v8 4.1 is quite a large step ahead for dependants, not just for language features, but also under-the-hood stability and performance.

Of course, there is also everything that node 0.11.x has, plus a release schedule to match Atom's own release cadence. :)

Rent doubled at their old location. It's why they moved, back in 2000.
Just a quick plug then for my own project: https://github.com/grokys/Perspex/
The .com would probably cost them 20x more. Not worth the price, especially for a startup.
Probably the same way Google is now shifting to https://github.com/google instead of its own Google Code!
"The company recognizes that the minimum wage employment costs will be equal for all cafes in the area, as they will pass costs onto customers"

The elasticity of demand for cafes is not zero. Claiming that businesses can "pass costs onto their consumers" without losing sales is assuming that decidedly unrealistic fact.
I work for a Fortune 10 company and when we are hiring young professionals, a degree signifies the individual has a certain level of commitment, dedication, and has the ability to achieve goals (aka win!).

Additionally, I have always noticed that taking a single individual's experience can lead me to taking their experience out of context. That situation is typically compounded especially when a understand very little about the person as an individual.

I would argue that Cory's experience does not reflect the average (to be fair I only began to understand the value of statistics while pursuing my college degree). In fact, check this chart out... seems like a no-brainer to me: http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_chart_001.htm

Why we decided to do a full rebranding, one week before launching our product
You just enumerated their main selling points: "run wires if that doesn't work" and "make sure to replace the default firmware".

I don't think this product is the right one for you, but it is for someone my parents' age or for my non-technical peers. If my parents / in-laws have WiFi trouble I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that they get a couple of these.
There's not.
> Minimum wage increases directly affect the purchasing power of all through price inflation

You're economically savvy enough to realize that increased purchasing power causes inflated costs with more money chasing goods/services, and you're zeroing in on a minimum wage increase from $11 => $15/hr instead of, I don't know, tech worker salaries?

Maybe you know something I don't, because I'd guess the effect from the former isn't even close to keeping the class of people it benefits at purchasing parity.
I don't donate for OpenBiome so I don't know about their process, but for me they take my normal stool. I don't change my diet (you can see my other comment for that reasoning). As for preparation, there isn't much that changes from what I give them and what the patient takes (we mostly do pills). They want it as close to my flora as possible.
Exactly. It's an INDICATOR. It's not a terribly useful metric in and of itself, but it signals the state of many other metrics in one neat package. U1-U6 all pretty much move in lockstep with each other.
The issue here is the famous dangling modifier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_modifier

Even your implied "it is my opinion that" would still leave a dangling modifier (now the erroneous parse indicates that your opinion is a linguist, rather than the original erroneous parse suggesting that the usage is a linguist).

Dangling modifiers are an interesting issue because one often has to go all the way up to the pragmatics level in order to resolve the indended meaning (in this case, who or what could be a linguist?). Of course, speakers are usually quite good at that, so the ambiguity is usually only noticed in writing (and then people disagree about how significant the ambiguity is).
No, in it's current form it probably won't be ported to a non-windows platform. This isn't to say there never will be an IDE called Visual Studio that looks like a current Visual Studio that runs on more platforms in the future.
Problem? Drugs are interesting because the brain is interesting. As a community that probably collectively spends a lot of time thinking, an interest in the brain makes sense.

I worked on this Android application which automatically uses your location and weather to find ultra-high-res images from Flickr to use as your background. Everything is handled automatically, and we have a curated and blocked list to ensure quality stays high.

Thanks for your opinions and feedback!
A good point. I'd say it's more that the relationship expressed by the verb may go either from subject to object or object to subject, depending on context, and with a subtly different meaning depending on which direction it goes. I certainly don't see it as its own antonym—either way, it means some sort of inclusivity.

It's a really useful and economical word, which is why I'd hate to see it fall (even farther) out of use owing to fears that it will confuse the "to be comprised of" crowd.
One of the founders of Leada here, any and all feedback would be appreciated but especially UX and if any part of the on-boarding process is confusing would be great!
I'm surprised they didn't just use openssl_seal() with a public key, instead of risking the decryption key being forensically recoverable by the victims.

Maybe they didn't think it that far through?

Pharmaceutical research is part of science, and there's a lot of science on here. I haven't felt that drugs are an unusually prominent topic.
Sell your circles on the idea. Show them why its cheaper than the alternatives. Show them all the benefits . Put a sticker on your laptop, wear a t-shirt, write a politician, go on TV. Start giving away your money to someone (implement your own "basic income" to someone really really poor) and (b/v)log/write a book about it . As soon as it becomes "How could we not do this" in people's minds, it will happen.
The reason his analogy is more accurate then yours is because adding exits has a meaningful additional cost. Providing preferable service to certain sites is not building better networking infrastructure to those places, it is just worsening the existing service to everywhere else.

Sales leadership – The Bitter Business
Some easy numbers:
1k/month is ~12k/year, which is ~15-18k of pre-tax salary.

To re-emphasize, 1k/month in lower rent is worth 15-18k of salary.

I have friends paying more than $2k/month more than me, which is around a negative 40k raise (I live in San Francisco, but share).

It's very easy for humans to misinterpret recurring costs.
It would be nice to have a dedicated bathroom. I work in a large public building and therefore donate in a public bathroom. Can be awkward carrying a bag into the stall with me. I get some weird looks, but then I remember why I donate and it's all ok.
To be fair, I get a proper LOL from Onion maybe once in 15 days (not counting their videos, which are always hilarious). Onion's stories are always smart though and the satire biting.

I see that many upvotes and comments--can anyone summarize in few bullets why this tool is superior to the hundreds of other project management tools?

The landing page and product though very nice and stylish seem not offer any outstanding feature or did I miss something?

Edit: this comment was downranked in the thread in less than 50 seconds, anyone has an idea why?
I don't want to live in a world where people aren't educated. One less desperate person in the world saves us all a lot of pain. And contributing people mean more societal benefits. Small but meaningful. People are a big mix of desires. College is a great place to learn where you can learn where to direct your energies and passions instead of being a fledgling heap of empty want susceptible to predators in every field.
Angular is popular and anything that's popular gets criticized heavily.

Most of its criticisms are from people who don't fully understand angular and that's to be expected. Usually you can find issues with anti-angular rants that would apply to any javascript framework or large library.

Angular provides a very broad set of tools that takes a while to fully appreciate and learn. Of course React or Flux or something else will be "better" than angular at something or other because Flux and React are very specialized frameworks that do one thing very well.

I'm aware that bridge-dwelling, toll-collecting trolls do not exist. I was referring to an internet-style troll, "a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people... with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. ... Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment." [1]

If one person is only happy when things change, and someone else is only happen when they don't change, I don't see how there is any way to resolve the difference. I'm curious what solution you see for this, and especially in how a virtual reality would help.

tl;dr -> It's a no brainer that a solid shell of matter to enclose the Sun is a terrible and infeasible idea. However, like many other sci fi ideas, it has been inspiring the search for more down to earth (no pun intended) solutions.
As a practical matter, I doubt that they can. There's probably quite a lot of third-party code intertwined with Windows itself (especially in the device drivers that ship with it) that's subject to strict redistribution and publication restrictions.

UK to allow babies from three people
Honest question:

Do the cafe workers get paid the same hourly wage as the bookstore employees, or are they classified as restaurant personnel and make $2.13/hour + tips like I did when working in a restaurant / cafe setting? Does SF/CA have different rules in place? I'm genuinely curious and some brief searching alludes to the $2.13 going up to $7.07.

That's not $15/hour. It's interesting to use the "prices go up everywhere" argument when not directly addressing the economics. IMO the $2.13 isn't really a viable discussion point for business owners. Tips are the accounting and tax responsibility of the employee / earner...hmmm...
Even more reason to port all of your C/C++ code to CMake. I'm excited to see upstream contribution from MS.
It won't help much there as the number is static for a particular build.
The perhaps hidden point was that it is ludicrous that the best value of a degree is it lands you an interview/job, and not that it gives you as much skill otherwise.

Barnes & Noble has a huge digital library and their own e-reader.

...which loses tons of money, while the physical bookstores are profitable. The Nook unit is doing so bad that the long-discussed plans to split it off from the profitable physical bookstores into separate companies are now being widely discussed as in jeopardy because there is no credible business case to make to investors for the Nook unit as a separate business.

B&N is a profitable physical bookstore chain tied to failed e-book effort that is swallowing all the profits (and more), which if it can't be sold off or turned around soon is likely going to have a stake driven through its heart.
I am sorry, this article takes 37 PageDowns on my screen. Exactly what results there are exciting?
They cleared $3k in profit for 2013 (read down a couple posts on the blog) while paying themselves next-to-nothing - and that out of the cafe profits and not the bookstore. I think the term "successful" is very questionable here.
