but right now every county should have a piece of land reserved for homeless individuals. Just a place you can pitch a tent, access to out house, and portable washing facilities

There is no way in hell I would camp there.

FWIW, I was working on becoming an urban planner when life got in the way. My incomplete bachelor's is in Environmental Resource Management with a concentration in Housing and I took a class on Homelessness and Public Policy as part of that. I was a subforum moderator and active participant for a time on the world's foremost planning forum.

I will reiterate that changing a lot of government policies will have to happen so that housing costs can come down. Right now, we have a lot of really crappy policies that actively inflate housing sizes and prices and create a growing divide between the haves and have nots.

To the person I am replying to--apply to section 8 housing.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. I will suggest that people like you are part of the problem. The only thing you know about me is that I am homeless, so you think a one off suggestion from you can solve significant and complicated problems. You are doing exactly what I described above: Assuming I am inept. That will not help me. It will not help anyone. It only deepens the problem.

We do care!

There are people who genuinely do care. You aren't exactly coming across as one of them.
Startup Lessons from Max Levchin (PayPal)
So they create a new Twitter account, wait for a discount code for Twitter ads, spend pennies on the dollar for an offensive tweet to promote it and end up trolling the users.

It didn't use any racist words, so it passed a word filter. It just said that white people are being discriminated against and had to protect themselves from discrimination and violence. Change the white word to black and it could have been from Ferguson or Baltimore protesters. I've seen a lot worse on Twitter than this troll wrote. I think he made his point that the system can be exploited to troll people in certain groups. I hope Twitter makes some adjustments and lets a human being read the promoted tweet before it is promoted.
haha he made me look kinda stupid now!!!

Counting the capital cost of the inventory in transit is not a way I'd sure to determine it, as the inventory is not counted to the purchasers book in most cases until its received, not when it enters transit.

That said, there are many other reasons why apple wouldn't want to ship by sea, mostly the longer lead time to correct problems, and the potential for a large amount of defective inventory in the chain, not the mention the vagaries of market demand, and other factors.
I just stumbled upon this little JS Framework by w3schools. I never heard of it before and it isn't hosted on github as it seems. Anyway it looks like fun. Has anyone used this lib in production? Seems they released it in February 2015 as version 2.

Our need for a low-density or high-density environment apparently change during our life:

- Childhood: kids need space, safety/freedom and some friends to explore the world. Countryside and suburbs are the best option.

- Social years: humans are social and hierarchical. We need a place with plenty of opportunities to experience the world and prove our value in the different hierarchies. Cities are the best option.

- Maturity: after we had experienced the world and/or when our place in hierarchy gets stagnant, we want to slow down. Countryside is the best option.

The idea of environmentally friendly, non-food wasting burgers sounds good but I'm not sure if it's possible. Meat is so phenomenally resource intensive[0][1] that reducing waste at the restaurant to zero still leaves you with a pound of beef that required up to 1,800 gallons of water to make. That number gets smaller if the animal eats wild grass or what would otherwise be waste products but a cow is a an inefficient way of getting nutrients to your plate.

Livestock in general eat large amounts of corn and oats, and with their feed conversion ratios[3] that's a 40-95% food loss of food humans are perfectly capable of eating.

Apple also likely wouldn't move that inventory onto its book, until its received, not when its shipped.
Believe it or not, I actually did this years ago, and I have the Makefile somewhere. [... search ...] Found the rules!

%: %.ct
cpp -P $(shell env | sed -e "s/.*/-D_ENV_'&'/") $< > $@

%: %.st
( export __FILE__=$< ; echo "cat <<!" ; cat $< ; echo "!" ) | bash > $@

%: %.mt
rm -f $@.err
m4 -D__FILE__=$< $(shell env | sed -e "s/\([^=]*\)=\(.*\)/-D'_ENV_\\1=\\2'/") $< > $@
if [ -s $@.err ] ; then cat $@.err ; exit 1 ; fi
rm -f $@.err

Explanation: this gives you three "flavors" of preprocessing. ".ct" files are "C preprocessor templates"; they are put through cpp. ".mt" files are M4 templates: M4 is used. And ".st" are shell templates; they use shell here-doc syntax.

The shell templates do not have to have any "cat <<" or "!"; this wrapping is added by the Makefile. Of course, you can't have a line consisting of ! in these files; you have to escape such a thing if it occurs.

Additionally, for .ct and .mt files, all environment variables are turned into macros in that language, with their names mapped to the the _ENV_* namespace. For .st and .mt files, the __FILE__ macro is established which expands to the file name (the C preprocessor has this built-in).

I used this in an embedded Linux distro that I build from scratch (targetting MIPS embedded hardware). It was used for generating some of the textual materials in the target file system tree. For instance /etc/hosts was generated from a .st template, and populated using a $(for ...) loop.

Hey - I recognize you from Stripe IRC

This is the interpretation I'm hoping for. I am indeed using "the old connect way" (assuming you mean charging directly instead of through the platform). I wonder if taking a fee has an effect, though.

I pushed a question through to Stripe support. Will update here when I find out.
Sadly, a requirement of the application is that it needs to be backward compatible with the previous system.

I'm sure many of you know, this leads to quite a few issues.

This is not camping. It's dishonest and offensive to call sitting around with every amenity programming camping. I can't understand where you get off having the audacity to say people need nature when you're flying around and driving hours to spend time in tacky family camp grounds and playing on your computer. I'm so disgusted that you think not taking a smartphone with you is an act of daring revolution. So, what, you own two phones? And the smart one can't be made to stop vibrating over every reply to your dumb tweets? Regarding everything else you wrote, there's a book about how to buck gullibility that might suit your little maverick wilderness adventures.
colorForth adds at least the color dimension to a programming language. Words have different meaning depending on the color used. This reduces the amount of punctuation and the need for "reserved" words as we see in traditional languages.
> just like people like to "stay" in cash, now (in fact, just today a contractor offered me no tax if I paid him cash...)

I might be nitpicking, but people don't like to "stay in cash". They just like tax evasion. It's not about staying in cash or not, it's about the ability to underreport revenue without an auditable paper trail.

You know, if a contractor gives you an invoice, and you pay in cash, nothing actually prevents them from burning their copy of the invoice and saying it never happened if the IRS asks.

There's a lot of people that will be truthful about evidence, but lie about motivation. And gunfire is a lot harder to lie about.

Hell look at parallel construction.
The whole point of money laundering is that permanent "staying" isn't very appealing: cash and BTC will get you a pizza delivered but they won't buy you a house, hence money launderers - generally dealing with larger sums than the average "cash discount" - being very keen to get the proceeds of their crime into the banking system.

And government regulators will be quite happy to make life more difficult for vendors as well as money transmission businesses if they start to worry that criminals are finding it too easy to spend their Bitcoins.

Organised criminals staying in BTC is not going to make the average person want to flee to it, it's going to increase their suspicion that Bitcoin's days of being a surprisingly friction free way of buying goods and services in their own country are numbered.

Rust macros are more powerful than CPP in many ways, e.g. pattern matching and nice variadics. Much easier to write, use and document than either a C macro or C++ templates (although the later is definitely improving in the newest standards).

These sorts of macros work very well for large classes of things one would do in with those C/C++, and more beyond that too. Syntax extensions are particularly good at things that not possible without massive hacks in either (although, again, this is somewhat changing with constexpr in C++14 etc).

On the point of being inline, yes, it would be helpful sometimes, but often syntax extensions are "standalone": useful functionality that makes sense to be in its own crate (e.g. for publishing to crates.io), especially while they are unstable. And cargo makes it so easy to use other crates (even local ones, even plugins) that it barely matters where it is defined in terms of tooling/infrastructure.
Court: warrantless cellphone tracking not illegal search
Great seeing Paribus on HN! I really appreciate the feedback. This is definitely the biggest challenge that we're facing but we hope that as the user base grows we will gain legitimacy and convince people that we're out there to defend their interests. Obviously, we're taking all the precautions necessary, following security best practices, and collaborating with Context.io to keep everyone's mailbox secure.

On your second point, we could (and probably will) enable the feature of forwarding receipts eventually and but the reason we haven't done it is to keep the whole experience as seamless as possible - We want our users to do ZERO work - and we would still need to send the automated claims on their behalf. Sending users price drop alerts is just like giving them work to do (camelcamelcamel.com and plenty of other services do this).
Very strange. I've never encountered something like that with any database or cache. Wonder if it's somehow related to the way that your cluster is setup?

How big is this cluster? Are you writing and reading to the entire cluster, or do you have certain nodes that you write to and others that you read from?

Don't forget that "they chose freedom" for a population of 2.5 million people[1]. That's less than Chicago or Nevada, today. The original thirteen colonies had a population density slightly lower than Wyoming.

The whole idea that the Founding Fathers had some perfect vision has always struck me as absurd. Even ignoring technological advances, the country now has more than 100x the population crammed into 9x the space. They made decisions for a country that is vastly different from what we have today.

Great outdoor activities (saltwater & freshwater fishing, myakka river, camping, pretty awesome parks, beach obviously). I personally hate the beach--sand, salt, and sunburn are three of my least favorite things.

Venice YMCA has a ton of offerings--rock wall, skate park, basketball gym, adult leagues, etc.

You have pretty much every other normal amenity, like theaters & community college.

Tampa isn't far for theme parks, concerts, etc.

You're missing having a hometown bar scene, but those aren't too far anyway (and the 20-somethings make do with what's available, anyway).

Yep - plus a specialised password dictionary and bunch of heuristics to permute or mutate that dictionary.

OCLHashcat can top a billion hashes a second for poorly chosen password hash algorithms - attackers just keep lists of every password exposure they coma across (starting with the 32 million passwords RockYou exposed to the world) - then combine that and a regular "common word/name/petname" dictionary, and try adding leading or trailing numbers, swapping numbers for letters l337-5p3ak style. One PC with some fairly recent video cards in it could blast through every dictionary word, a few thousand common names - and mutate all of those with common capitalisation and punctuation (you _did_ capitalise the first letter and add a fullstop or exclamation point at the end when the site forced you to use upper/lower and "special characters" right?), then they can add every combo of up to 4 training digits, anything that looks like a date, and they'll probably try using the domain name or bits of it if they know where the list came from (is your email password fluffycat-gmail or GoKitehawks2015-hotmail ?). If you're unlucky enough to be in a password list disclosure from a site still using MD5 (salted or not) that's literally a few _seconds_ work. Salted SHA might up that to minutes per password. Unless the site used bcrypt/scrypt/pbkdf2, if your password was in any way "predictable", someone with a box with 4 modern video cards (or stolen AWS credentials) will have found all the "low hanging fruit" passwords in hours or days.

I'm going to get downvoted into the abyss.

The only languages I would consider for an enterprise system in the most loved technologies would be C# and Python. The rest look good for startups, open source or hobby projects. When you build systems for the enterprise that need to be robust and live for years on end. It's hard to justify taking a risk with a newer language for which there is less expertise and less libraries.
Weirdly enough, I have never stopped to think about what I think when I am coding. I actually am not thinking of anything, at least not subconsciously anyway. I find I talk to myself out loud quite frequently, more in the form of questions and expressions, "Why are you not working?", "Line 38, line 38", "Hmm interesting" and "WTF?"

When I am not coding, I like to play guitar. I find the two are quite similar in that I don't think about what strings I want to play or think about the chords, it just happens thanks to my muscle memory. I actually don't think at all when I play guitar and the times I am aware of this fact, it actually throws me off and messes up my playing when I attempt to think. This is how I code, I don't think about what I am going to write, I just know like it is embedded in my muscle memory.
Easing Diabetes Risk, One Beverage at a Time
What constitutes an 'extraordinary claim' is a subjective judgement.

I don't find it at all impossible that governments would resort to tactics like false flags. I don't find it to be an 'extraordinary' claim, just... a claim. I'd consider it if I saw at least some credible evidence. But in this case I just don't see much evidence at all beyond suspicion and innuendo.

That and false flags really aren't necessary. There are enough fanatics out there. Governments just have to wait for one of them to do something and then take advantage of it to push the agenda. No need to take the immense risk of forcing it when independent actors will do it for you if given enough time.
An investor should be willing to make a "10% chance for a 100X return" type investment, but no, I wouldn't usually suggest that to my friends and family unless the amount of money was not significant to them. I don't think that's a red flag; investors have different risk tolerances for good reasons.
Hi calcsam!

Eric w/ Paribus here. Slice does some similar things (track purchases via email, promise to send price drop alerts, etc.).

I wanted to love their product when I first used it, but found myself dissatisfied for a few reasons:
1. I personally have never actually received a price drop alert. (Could just be me, but many items that I've bought since being a member have dropped in price)
2. Just receiving a price drop alert leaves a lot of user pain. You still have to take the time to go back/forth with customer service for unclear benefit (not all price drop claims work), and for most price drops it simply isn't worth the hassle.
3. Most importantly, their actual revenue-driving business is fundamentally different: http://intelligence.slice.com/ Your data is the product that they sell to advertisers (and likely use for Rakuten, a major Asian eCommerce player and owner of Buy.com).

We designed our business to make money only when we make you money first. Its a small but important difference, but we think that aligning our interests fully with our users will make all the difference in making our product far more useful for consumers in the long run.

This was a big reason for me to do a coding bootcamp. I was switching majors out of engineering and into CS. I didn't want to spend 2 years slowly learning CS to find out if I liked it. It was faster and cheaper for me to do one of these schools to see if I really did want to do this for a living. Now I'm employed and do do it for a living and love it. I still push myself everyday to learn and do more learning outside of work.
Unfortunately this style of teaching just doesn't fit the mould of traditional universities, but I think it's a great way to find out if you really want to pursue a career in this field.
I can't see how you'd interpret "Boys' Toys" and "Girls' Toys" in a non-normative way (unless we're talking about the set of toys that are actually in the possession of those groups right now, which is plainly not the case here). Surely the meaning is something like "Toys that it is normal for boys to play with."
