I can't see how the US was founded on that idea of "freedom unless it impedes others freedoms," since, at its most basic level, the US government has always restricted people's movements.

If you "own" property, I can't freely walk onto that property. Your "ownership" places a severe limitation on my ability to exercise the freedom to move about freely.

It seems specious to claim retroactively that the US somehow cares about freedom at all, when some of the most basic were stripped from us at its founding.
This is because European companies aren't good enough to get to "monopoly" status, much to the commissions chagrin.

I used Common Lisp from the mid 1980s until about 5 years ago when my customers wanted Clojure, if they wanted Lisp development done. I have never seriously used CL as a scripting language but for a while I was using Gambit-C Scheme for small compiled apps and command line tools. Gambit-C is very good for this purpose.

BTW, Clojure is "out" for command line tools because of the JVM startup time but I have thought about Clojurescript + node.

One caution that this document does not mention is that the new formatting is available only in recent versions of Python. One of my projects runs on a CentOS 5.x server, which has Python 2.4, so I had to convert all of the new style formatting to old in order to get it to run there.
This does not read to me like good advice from an experienced programmer.
What you've brought up is precisely where relational databases excel -- it's a tradeoff (as anything else, you have to decide when to use one or the other). How many relationships do you have/expect? How intermingled/related is your data? If the answer is "not much" , then maybe you should go with documents, if it's high maybe you should go with RDBMS.

Also, the lines are blurred, like I previously stated:
- RethinkDB does joins
- Postgres has good support for storing JSON documents
I think it only sorts the characters in each word, not the list of all words.
Nice work! I think this could definitely be expanded and sold as a standalone component
The individual words are being sorted rather than the list of words, and N here would correspond to the number of words. The sorting of each word would traditionally be O(M log M) where M is the number of characters in the word.

Note that under certain assumptions it's probably possible to sort a word faster than that because we know extra information about the elements being sorted (that is, the letters of the alphabet form a totally ordered set of small cardinality). Specifically, there exist algorithms like counting sort which exploit this extra information.
I can't help but feel bad for that one poor little RCS thruster doing its level best to keep the first stage upright, but ultimately running out of fuel.

Classic blog from 2010. The idea didn't catch on however, and no one uses these terms. PNUTS is still completely closed source inside Yahoo -- this is because PNUTS depends on an internal queuing system.

As for YCSB, it's commonly references and is easily available on github. It hasn't changed much lately, and now with tools like jepsen that focus on correctness as well as performance, YCSB is no longer the preferred testing tool.

I wonder if we will need to have a license to operate a self-driving car. Certainly we will need a driver's license in the short-term, but after some time when people trust that self-driving cars work, will we decide that it is no longer necessary for the person using the car to know how to drive? If so, then that seems like it would open up a pretty anonymous way to travel. Of course, the vehicle will probably be licensed, but if you rent it from a company, then they company will know who is using the car, but the government will not. Will the government require rental companies to check ID's and provide them with the information? Maybe, but they already do that, and the government would need a warrant to get the information.

So glad you wrote this, it is so amazing to me to see people trying to feed on start-ups. I find that good deals get better and bad deals get worse, when there are all these added costs of getting the chance to present or involved in certain meetings, the level of enthusiasm seems to drop on all sides.
Fair enough, I didn't think about that. I guess if you were using a RPi for a quarantine job like this, you would consider the SD cards as one time use devices and destroy them after use. The RPi itself shouldn't be affected though.

Having been one of the people who built Thumbtack (and a shareholder), this would have been much more of a concern 2 or 3 years ago. At this point Thumbtack (and other companies like Homejoy) are big enough to be able to compete against huge companies.

It isn't like the big guys can just jump into the market and undercut everybody on price. Most people who hire service professionals are looking for a high quality experience at a good value. Actually finding those high quality professionals and facilitating the experience with a customer is really really hard. You can't just underprice everybody, you can't just find the cheapest service providers.

And having previously worked at Google, local services is like 10x higher touch than any other business Google has. Maybe they bite the bullet and try to do it, but this isn't a very Google-like business.
Map and zip were builtins in 2.x as well, just not the itertools.imap/itertools.izip variants.
Those who don't currently have internet access will be hurt by this in absolute terms but the opposite outcome would be that a dangerous precedence is set that will have a larger impact on competition.

Foursquare has build a solid data business, also its data team is one of the best out there. Go on youtube and watch some of their presentations to see what is possible with their data. The issue is that they are stuck in a strategy and a founders vision, this makes it hard to totally change their business, branding etc. I still think apple should have bought them a long time ago, but it is a solid buy for Yahoo, not the foursquare part but the data side, which is worth more.
Sorry, but that is BS.

Traveling on trains does not require an ID. You are not stopped randomly in Germany to show your ID. It never happened to me in the 40 years I am living in Estern Germany and Western Germany.

In Germany it is required that you own an ID (or Passport). But you are not required to have it on you.

That said, if police has a reason to identify you, because of suspicious behavior, police can have a hold of you until your identity is proven. That will happen when you are speeding for example.

I see the argument for competition, but I don't think that freedom is as important as the freedom of communication and education.

Imagine someone in the slums of India (there are tens of millions in these conditions) wanting to learn more about irrigation. Is it more important that they have no limited internet for the sake for competition, or limited internet?
In my country everyone has a right to an ID card and not even the police can confiscate them.

> This has nothing to do with anti-trust

It has everything to do with anti-trust. Google's near-monopoly on search is dangerous, and they've abused it multiple times. Google News and Yelp are good examples: they would steal content (not just link to it as they'd have you believe), then threaten to delist the victim's sites if they complained.
HTML is not computer science.

Neat idea. When I read Ulysses two years ago, I didn't really follow the whole plot but I did enjoy Joyce's writing a lot.

Different things.

1) "Have your passport on your person": Yes, unfortunately this country requires you to be able to provide some ID. No, you don't need to carry it with you. If you DON'T have one though, it might cause issues/trouble/cost money. [1]
I assume the Germans were misinformed and scared, the anecdote was probably not true.

2) You have to show your ID or passport at the border (aka. the airport in this case). You don't need to do that if you move in the Schengen area: Travelling from Germany to the Netherlands won't require an ID.
That said, maybe you talk about braindead boarding procedures only. Those exist. People like to make sure that you're the one that checked in and all and .. yeah.. Please provide your boarding pass and ID. Useless. Enforced randomly. Utterly insane. Consider it a nuisance if it happens, but .. it doesn't, most of the time.

3) You never need to show an ID in a train. Except:
a) you cross a border and leave the Schengen area. Normal procedures, people will check your passport/ID
b) you bought a ticket that says 'can be used in a train (as paper or digital), but requires an ID'. That's the DB (German Railway company) being insane, stupid, annoying, crap, (insert-more-expletives-here). You can buy a ticket at a counter and no one is ever going to ask you for your ID. And I guess no one knows why they consider it a reasonable thing to do for most online tickets/digital tickets.

So:

1) Wrong
2) Maybe
3) DB is run by idiots, is crap, sucks - and there is a workaround

I'd be great if you could list down the provider you currently use or have used in the past (with price and specs if possible) along with your experience.

But, do you see that checking even your ID means the police can deny travel based on who you are? The 'travel papers' are then in the government computer.

No, its essential you do not even present ID to travel, for personal freedom to be ensured.

My team snagged tickets to the web summit in Dublin last year, not to present but just as attendees. We actually had a great time at it, got to see some good talks, some not so good, and met a huge amount of really cool and interesting people at the eating/drinking events held afterward.

I can see how there would be a huge amount of opportunities there for startups. There is a vast amount of money people, lots of technical talent and lots of ideas all brought together for a few days and I think that if you're socially savvy you could make a lot from it.

What I did not like is how the organisers conduct themselves. Their approach to getting speakers is, I believe, totally offensive. I understand that they're running a business but they spam and bait-and-switch like no company I can recall in recent memory. I believe, or read somewhere, that their hiring practices for their volunteers/staff are pretty awful also.

I suppose it is what you make of it. Would I go to it again as an attendee? If the tickets were given to me and I was in or around Dublin at the time, certainly. Would I pay to attend myself? Probably not. If I were running a startup and wanted to get it in front of people, and to meet people who might be interested in it? I'd probably pay €1500 for the opportunity. It's not very expensive compared to the opportunities it may present. Worst case scenario is you have a few fun days in an interesting city.

Debian Jessie and Fedora 21 both ship Python 3.4, so that problem is going away.

In the meantime, it's always possible to install a self-contained Python 3.4 interpreter and a virtualenv. It's pretty straight-forward, actually. The only thing you'll miss is distribution-provided binary packages (like lxml), but pip/setuptools compiles them for you.

As someone new to Go, and very happy with it - I am somewhat skeptical from past experiences in other languages of doing something like this. (Although it is very nice!). I remember generating JS code in Rails in ERB's, and I always felt handicapped by it, and would usually just figure out what I needed in JS (and my JS sucked at the time). I also would spend more time debugging the issues from Rails --> JS, which I didn't feel gave me any useful skills besides dealing with the beast of Rails. Thoughts?

Are there historical examples of conjectures widely believed to be true and then proven to be false?

I suppose Gödel's incompleteness theorems and Hilbert's second problem is along those lines, but I'm not sure Hilbert's problem was regarded as a conjecture.
This is really an ABI issue, more than a language one. I'm not sure anything in C requires a combined stack. Plus, processor arches like ARM and POWER use link registers rather than a stack to store the return address. Its the ABI that then chooses to put the LR on the parameter stack. Even on x86 SP could be dedicated as a function stack and separated from BP (or pick another x86_64 register) as the parameter stack.

Of course being an ABI issue, probably makes it really hard to solve, and hence hacky solutions abound. (actually its probably pretty easy to solve given LLVM, just impossible to get anyone to accept).
Ask HN: Is it possible that FB and Google are sharing user data?
Paging through my friend suggestions on Facebook today I saw many familiar faces. I corresponded with all of them on GMail but we never had contact on Facebook. We have no mutual friends, I've never looked at their profiles, I'm pretty sure some of them don't even know my real name so they couldn't have looked at mine. I never gave FB access to my GMail account so I'm struggling to understand how this could be. I realize that network analysis can sometimes be effective but this looks a little too good to be true.

Any ideas?
I guess it depends what point you're trying to make. There's a big debate in several states around voting and whether it should require proof of identity and whether that's specifically an ID or something else.

I personally think there's a difference between "you must have one of these specific documents to travel" vs "you must be an identifiable person to travel"
I suspect your statements around this are at the heart of our disagreement.

Your position on this implies that a) we all know our preference around in-kind benefits b) our use of in-kind benefits is static, predetermined, or correlated job moves c) the provision of in kind benefits is zero sum and/or d) in-kind benefit decisions can be optimally designed.

My position is the opposite on all of these cases. There are many in-kind benefits that I didn't realize were great until I received them because someone else wanted them, the utility of these benefits varies over time and is not correlated from employee to employee (and the homogenity required to correlate them would be hugely detrimental in other resource allocation ways), and that the optimal benefit strategy is often emergent rather than designed, and that the more inputs into the system we have the better the emergent behavior is.

Finally, being polite and showing empathy would also follow your rules about zero sum behavior and workplace homogeneity. I'm curious what that implies about your position on general civility and empathetic behavior in the workplace.
Oh poor you, all these people providing you with free tools. If it solves your problem, use it, if it doesn't don't.

If you don't want to take the time to figure out if it will actually be useful for you, wait for early adopters to kick the tires, write blog posts, etc. Then if it gains enough critical mass, and it seems to solve your problem much better than how you previously did things, use it.
Perhaps it's a small thing, but I remember as a young boy, probably in the early 70s and the Cold War, my mother telling me about the USSR. I specifically recall her saying "over there you need to have papers to travel, so we couldn't just go visit your grandparents like we're doing today".

For whatever reason, that stuck with me for 40-odd years, so the differences today really do resonate with me.
