I'm sorry but it had wayyy more to do with chance than that. He happened to be in California in 1995 when the bubble started. He was of an age where he could take a chance at a startup rather than have a 9-5 job. If Musk were 40 with 3 kids and a mortgage and he had packed everything up to move to California to try to create a startup and make it big, I'd totally agree with you. The fact he was at the right place at the right time at the right age isn't anything that was under his control in the least (outside of perhaps choosing to go to Standford over other options available to him).
Right, except (1) it's your obligation to change the law as a voter and (2) profit-maximizing companies have every obligation to act in their shareholder's best interests, within the bounds of the law. So really, it's up to us as citizens to decide what's fair, and get the appropriate legislation passed to change it.

Uber, Lyft, and the whole "sharing economy" is nothing more than another iteration of line balancing. Retails centers do this during the holiday seasons by hiring temp workers and call centers are always doing this.

I'll agree normal HR is not well tuned for quickly hiring large amounts of people, so the Uber model of deploying an app, and letting people "hire themselves" is interesting case study in ways to quickly ramp up your operations, but the I think enough has been said about how this is essentially exploitation of workers.

Yes, more content adds more value. But past a certain point of saturation, it no longer adds enough additional value to compensate its creators. My argument is that we are long past that point.

Which would be more valuable, doubling the world's content, or doubling the amount of time and money to spend on it?
That may or may not be true, but it doesn't affect that the Linux kernel module interface is a really bad place to put your valuable, proprietary, until ESXi not-ported-elsewhere IP.

>I really wish we as a community just set a date and ported.

The thing is there is no "community". There's a core team, smaller teams around some projects with their own ideas, and a huge number of individuals and companies using Python, each with their own needs, use cases and timelines...
Python 3's asyncio / co-routines is the reason to write any new project in Python 3.

The API is tiny, and the result is beautiful.

If you haven't seriously tried using it to implement something that really benefits from such computer science innovation, then you have simply seen nothing of Python 3 yet. There are many types of logic that are vastly simplified with such a programming paradigm. Faster to code, and far simpler to debug. By orders of magnitude. One example you could try if you cannot envision one is to implement a high performance network protocol. I for instance implemented the SSH protocol from scratch (RFCs) in a matter of weeks. I though it would take months before I tried, especially since I had never programmed in Python before! As I said, the API is tiny. Learning it (Python and Asyncio at once) was so easy and ended up taking such an insignificant amount of time compared to the vast quantities of time and headache saved, that, well, I just had to write this post with all that extra time and energy!

Check it out! You will find that it is beyond worth just addressing whatever fears or problems you have with making the switch.
Who actually owns the domain you build your site on? If ClaimYourName.io gets people to register their own name as a domain but retains ownership that could turn ugly if you wanted to leave the service and keep 'your' domain name, or if ClaimYourName.io goes under.

In the small town where I grew up the One Guy at the biggest web agency quit in anger, and since nobody else at that company had the passwords to liberate the domains, dozens of businesses in my town had to buy new domains and reprint all their material with new URLS on it. What a headache :S
Meh, they can be annoying. but if top nav is static, I find it less annoying. It basically allows you to jump easily to sections independent of position, which is the same as multipage sites.
I understand that... and to be honest, it looks cool... It would be nice if they simply implemented a tiered "todomvc" style application + backend in each of the supported languages/backends ... I know this would be a bit of an effort from them, but would probably better demonstrate what they are trying to accomplish here.

I know that they have PaaS structures, which I actually did a proof of concept hello world against just yesterday, with node.js which was actually pretty cool. It's much better in terms of developing against than it was in the past when I'd looked at it. Apparently it's a similar experience for PHP (not sure on python or ruby though). The github hook integration was pretty damned cool as well... merge to `{BRANCH_NAME} == push` to production/test/qa etc. And definitely more straight forward than setting up your own dokku-alt or other cluster yourself.

Like I said, it just seems to me the terminology and marketing message is very muddled. I don't mean to say that I don't get it... I just think it's more convoluted that it needs to be. As an aside, the more I play with Azure Tables, the more awesome it becomes...

How are you handling the Namecheap API's requirement of an IP address whitelist?
See my other comment re: "encrypted".

In general terms, hashing a combination of a salt and the plaintext password is recommended. The problem with encrypting the password, is that typically an attack that exposes the encrypted password will also expose the encryption key -- allowing the recovery of the plaintext password by simply decrypting the ciphertext password that is stored.

Flying out of Boston was nice the one time I did it. Security was fast and polite. I think I showed up with 35 minutes to spare and I just made it to my flight.
I have no doubt of that, this is for all front-end code ATM (we don't used node except for gulp). It was hard enough to move us to what we are doing now it will be some time before we get nice npm modules :(. I am looking into the options for front-end modules (CommonJS and friends) because I would like to break our stuff up a little better. It's leaps and bounds over what we started with (separation of interests-wise) but I have to be careful not to push the envelope too far and have the other devs throw up their hands and give up. Gulp was a HUGE step and it hasn't even been a full year on that yet. Bower was pretty hard as well but the team seems to have gotten over that now.
Given enough time, software eventually becomes unsupported, and then -- perhaps after more time, but perhaps not -- unusable. In effect, this is the return at the end of the auto lease. It's not a perfect analogy (really nothing ever is), but it's pretty good, especially I think for people not used to thinking about this issue with software and other digital goods.

I think the idea is that the top of the wheel is basically super sonic compared to the ground. This has to be the case: the train is connected to the middle of the wheel at speed, the bottom of the wheel is going 0 so long as it's not slipping, so the top of the wheel is screaming along at near-sonic speeds.

It's an odd diagram to draw out, as that result is pretty counter-intuitive.

I didn't mention them because they're not listed on the bar chart. But including them would skew the analysis for obvious reasons.

Again, your source doesn't show that the Middle East is producing more Islamic extremists on the whole than many other regions of the world. If you agree with that, then we agree. Of course, pretty much every country in the Middle East is producing a non-zero number of Islamic extremists -- as is pretty much every country in the West. If that is your only point, why draw attention to the Middle East specifically?

>Middle Eastern expats (or their children), many of whom hold dual citizenship.

You'll need another source on this. It might be true, but it's important to bear in mind that (i) many Muslims are not from the Middle East and (ii) Islamic extremism is not limited to the Middle East. So I am not sure that e.g. the majority of homegrown Islamic extremists in the UK have Middle Eastern backgrounds. It's possible, but I'd like to see some evidence.
The problem with GMO's is that most people aren't equipped to have a nuanced discussion about them so the conversation devolves to massive generalities and extremes that aren't useful because both polar extremes turn out to be illogical positions to take, but they are the only two positions that are discussed.
It's iPhone's number 1 unknown feature. I've been using computers since I was two and it took me more than a year to find this: just type in the search term in the safari search bar, then scroll down in the autocomplete results (without hitting go or enter). It'll come up after autocomplete and history/bookmark matches - and it's been there since at least iOS 6.

I'd be happy to share my experience as I've been talking with a lot of delivery companies as the founder of http://trackin.co

What I can say is that 70% of the basics regarding E-commerce/local delivery is the same whatever your market is (tour optimization, tracking, driver performances, dispatch, send orders to vendors...).
Then there's often specs, based on what your business is exactly doing.
That's why we decided to have a focus on food delivery at first, because we can answer every need you may have, from online ordering (adding pickup and catering) to customer relationship and promotion(adding yelp or G+ reviews) to what the drivers need to know regarding their delivery for that specific.

Meanwhile we've built our solution in a flexible way, and with an API, because a lot of things that we've built take a lot of time and expertise and we know other delivery businesses need it too. (And it's often hard to realize it before you actually start building it in house...)

So objectively if I had to start a food delivery business, I would use Trackin (obviously), and if it was a different service, I'd still use a (good) E-commerce solution + an API from a trustable 3rd party to help me manage the deliveries. That could be Trackin on something different based on your needs.
A company with a product that will evolve faster that my own product and would save me 2-3+ full time engineers and 6month at least.

You can still do it yourself but in the end you'll be building a dashboard, with a catalog, inventory, delivery management, dispatch, driver app then a customer facing app VS only build a customer facing app, and get the rest from a Saas, customize it so that you can focus on your business.
What I like to consider is the following: Why would I spend $$ and time on something for my business if I can have a competitor doing the same thing as me in just a couple of days/weeks thanks to SaaS solutions? Where will be the value added of your business?

Hope that helps and happy to discuss more if needed!
In other words, no one has a clear picture. It's beyond any one person's understanding, including the would be billionaire. As of yet this makes it impossible to determine between luck and inevitability.

Who ever thought Minecraft would make notch a billionaire? I didn't.

Not necessarily a short-term thing, but Python 2.7.x is set to be unsupported in 2020, IIRC.
I'd shy away from this personally due to SVN issues with renames/moves (yes, yes git is better, I'm working on convincing the people who control that decision) along with the fact that you will have to do it all over again in a year or two unless you plan on always naming your JS that way. My biggest reason for even trying not to run them all through the transpiler was speed.
By hand meaning "pip install -r {file}" or more generally pip with any arguments typed directly at the command line.

Automated meaning pip with any arguments run by another script.
Your complaint is more that all the implementations you've come across are poor and you have decided that because of this, nobody should ever do it.

This argument has been used many times in the past against things that evolved to be common. Complain about the poor implementation, not the concept.
College or the Road Less-Traveled? Deciding What’s Best for You
pretty much agree with sentiments and don't like or use Uber/AirBNB, yet one can't not notice that "sharing" economy rise was caused in most part because of the practically unsolvable problems in "traditional" economy - people do want to stay in normal housing instead of hotel chicken coups in tourist "ghetto"s, people do need reliable transportation from point A to point B - the functionality which existing taxi system has failed spectacularly and it has no way of fixing it (when medallions hit $1M it is become crystal clear that all incumbents are in for continuation of business as usual and nobody is interested in change). Uber/AirBNB are basically classical showcases of dialectic in application to economy (people who had "marxism"/"materialism" in their curriculum would recognize it immediately).
I don't think this is what he means with infinite scrolling. Afaik, infinite scrolling is like Facebook, which loads new (older, actually) posts when you get near the bottom of the page.
>If anything there is TOO MUCH regulation.

If you entertain the possibility that an animal can suffer as much as a human being, then all the regulation in the world is not enough. Consider even the most humane animal experiment, replace the animal with a human being, and see how you feel about it. Animals are living beings that we share the planet with; let them live their lives out in their natural environment. Animal experimentation should not even be contemplated, for exactly the same reason that wartime Nazi medical and eugenic experiments are condemned: for causing needless suffering in other living beings.

Historically speaking, Real estate would come out as the best bet for getting rich. Gold would be the next best thing. Real estate is also a very good vehicle to medium level riches.

And the best part of real estate like every other investment is. Most people don't realize how good it is until more than half their life is spent. At that point, the entry price of that arena is generally quite high and given all the family responsibilities and other expenses(Health, education and your own retirement) the level is prohibitive enough for most people to not even try.

This means people who make these investments early on in their lives(in their 20's) are best positioned to reap rewards from real estate investments.
I agree with gcatalfamo, while infinite scrolling websites seem like, "hey that's cool, I want to be with the in design crowd" they are actually pretty heinous for all the reasons mentioned above. I want a scroll bar that reflects were I actually stand with info contained on the page, not the content that is currently on that page. Refreshs and navigation don't bring you back to where you were. I just think they are obnoxious. I'd rather page through results and be able to predictably get the results from those operations that I expect. Just say NO to infinite scroll!
"Patronage" might be a better word for that...
The only thing I hate more than infinite scrolling is having to click Next Page.

It's easy to call other rail infrastructures "primitive" when your baseline is Berlin to Munich. The US eastern seaboard handles those routes well too. Rail doesn't do so well when you need NYC to Chicago (~800 miles).

Exactly. And those smaller communities are setting their own timelines. For example, Fedora just made Python3 the default for their next version. Arch Linux did this already, and other groups will change over when they're ready.
But then you are spending less money on the cats and if they find out they will crap in your shoes.
There is also one thing to take in count - how many of them were poor before?

You make a fair point about duplicates. There used to be a second-hand clothes store in my home town called "New to You". Similarly, if you haven't seen a story, it isn't a dupe.

The problem is that the HN front page only has 30 slots. Those slots are the scarcest resource on the site. Since we have no way of knowing what you've seen, we have to target overall coverage.

We don't treat stories as dupes just because they've been posted already; they have to have had significant discussion. But I get that you're talking about precisely those stories. I do think we have more work to do here.

In the meantime, one thing thing you can do is look at https://news.ycombinator.com/active and https://news.ycombinator.com/best for major discussions you missed.
> Choosing your own hours, working only on things you want to, setting your own salary

you pretty much described the best case scenario here. On the contrary my dad was an independent contractor most of his life in construction (which was a also in a boom period making some people rich). For him this meant working 6-7 days / week (10-14 hrs), clipping coupons, and saving for a decade to buy a $70k house to avoid getting in debt. This while having sub-contractors working for him. He eventually did well (decades of hard work later) but I believe this situation is not so rosy for an average contractor unless you are at the top of your game in a very in demand industry
Just because people implement them poorly doesn't mean they are inherently bad. Scrolling is easier and more enjoyable than clicking. However, basic features like back/forward remembering your location is vital. And it is probably a good idea to provide some pagination tools even with infinite scrolling.
