Ha, wow I had never seen this before and it is very similar.

I suppose the main difference is

- As far as I can see, Stubby doesn't provide CDCs-like functionality and MJ does. The idea of this is you can make sure your fake endpoints are valid. A common problem with mocks is that they go out of sync with a real server so your build is green, but it shouldn't be

- No flaky functionality

- Doesn't require any particular system dependencies (npm, maven or anything like that)

Del Norte County California has many houses for less than $250,000, but single family homes do not "pencil out" here - The rents will not pay for the expenses. Multi-family units can, and the more units, the more likely they will.

We also bought in Lee County Florida, where a single family home IS cash flowing. If the employment market stays stong, we will look at picking up more, assuming we find deals that are acceptable to us.

Risk: Insurance (property and landlord's liability), entity (LLC), and strong property management that is tight on screening prospective tenants. Last, watchful management: We keep an eye on the Property Managers, and provide overall management decisions, like where to keep rents, what improvements/repairs to make, etc.

We are new at this, only 5 years in, so we are still most definitely learning.
I do like the idea of Pact, I looked into it a few years ago. I guess what I wanted for this was a zero(ish) amount of code solution.

I think Pact and MJ have different advantages over each other.

Pact gives you more options but I think MJ is simpler to use and gives you options in terms of testing performance which is often neglected.

Well I've only been really fully diversified since 2001 but over 2001 to 2015 it hasn't done 10% year over year, closer to 7.8% :-) And that included the tight clench in 2007 - 2009 which is why 'security' and 'return' are inversely related.

And I see the S&P has done slightly better (8.3% [1]) over 10 years so I should probably kick myself to having anything in a stock or fund other than SPY :-)

Apologies my HN response time drops when I go on holiday.

I was not meaning you should start a "normal" project services company - more that most such companies just grab semi-random contractors and throw them into the latest contract, meaning a company that made experimentation the basis of its allocation may have a both a commercial attraction and greater scale than ordinary lab-scale experiments.

Not that I know what you are planning so it's likely to be off target. (Well actually your second sentence suggests taking existing teams in existing company)

To get the water from Louisiana to California, which are on opposite sides of the Continental Divide[1], you'd have to pump it uphill over the Rocky Mountains. That would take a lot of energy. You can see this by looking at this topographical map of the U.S.:

Any stream of cashflow that has a reasonable amount of predictability will try to be and can be securitized given demand from end buyers.

Things that have been securitized include your credit card payments, mortgage payments, auto payments etc...

The risks outlined by the article is not specific to rent checks alone- it applies to all forms of securitization.

Unless- Mother Jones is claiming that all forms of securitization bad.
Yes. And even if you did happen to be sharing a 2048 bit prime number with every other server in the world, it would still be essentially impossible for the NSA to crack in our lifetime (without massive advancements in quantum computing at least). 1024 bit is feasible for a powerful nation-state; 2048 bit is not.
Perhaps what they need most is for the politics to get out of the way. There are bigger political forces at work preventing the fight from reaching ISIS. For example, American forces have ordered pesh merga to pull American citizen volunteers from the fight. When there are so many different forces at work, each with its own opinion on how things should be run, it forms this kind of stalemate that needs to come down before progress can be made. For example, Sunni militias in Tikrit stopped fighting because Western air strike command was not cooperating with those forces on the ground. This kind of thing.

Also, from my understanding, what I've heard from people that are there is that small arms and especially antiarmor weapons are what is needed (some volunteer fighters are having to trade cash for weapons). ISIS has a hell of a lot of American equipment via IA (Iraqi Army) forces. IA is fighting, but they have had to withdraw from some areas against the quick offense of ISIS, which has resulted in powerful equipment captured. The Jordanian pilot they recently murdered was shot down with a MANPADS from a stockpile they captured some months before. ISIS has M1 Abrams. As an (American) infantry veteran, this is the fact that concerns me the most: There are not a lot of things that can kill an Abrams. We are going to need a lot more air support, and it's going to take a committed ground force to stop their advance, let alone push them into retreat and defeat.

Probably what they need most is a committed ground force. We need another Iraq War, with hundreds of thousands or millions of people on the ground, fighting ISIS in the streets. Unfortunately, Dubya already blew through the Iraq War we need. I saw earlier today that 57% of Americans support ground forces in Iraq to fight ISIS. 1) ISIS almost certainly wouldn't exist if Saddam was still around (i.e. it's our fault). 2) So many people are so tired of war, that even in the face of this pure fucking evil, it will be hard to convince the public to start another one.

That being said, if we don't destroy ISIS, it will be a defining force of evil in the 21st century. They will not stop in Syria or Iraq. They will move into and attack Europe and the Americas. It is a global problem that needs to be destroyed.
Nowhere. I would say he was using hyperbole, but since he said "literally", he's straight out lying.
Speaking as an above average engineer, but not one of the super spectacular, I envy the work-life balance that many of these get to achieve, avoiding a lot of the slavish work tech startups often put them through. Even if they funded out of pocket, it would be a long hours, market pressured situation, where enough VC or big company money can still bury you despite brilliance.

I'm honestly not surprised some choose the good life at a big company - the world often doesn't treat such skilled people well.

Hong Lei, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, warned that the American flights, which he called “very irresponsible and dangerous,” were “likely to cause an accident.”

Oh really? What are the Chinese going to do in international waters to "cause an accident".

Maybe the U.S. should build their own island next door to the Chinese island.
I wasn't very clear, I think. Yes, you can make higher density biodiesels and there are even denser biofuels on the horizon. What I mean to say was that you can't compare the accumulated energy of a few millions of years of biomass with what you can extract from what is growing on the planet right now, even if you could turn it all into fuel. The world is currently consuming around 100 million barrels of petroleum per day. http://www.eia.gov/cfapps/ipdbproject/IEDIndex3.cfm?tid=5&pi...

It's too late for that. They are here to stay just like the mollahs in Iran or the Talibans in Afghanistan. Most people in the west are fed up with western military involvement in the middle east anyway, rightfully so.
Thanks for pointing this out, I agree it's tacky. Unfortunately this sort of thing seems to be part of nerd culture. I know it's gotten bad when I have a serious urge to sidetrack PostgreSQL threads with MySQL related trolling, but participating will only make things worse.

I'm sure PHP (and to a lesser extent GNU Screen) enthusiasts know what this feels like. It's as easy as painting a bike shed to point out ways that these tools suck, they all have some historical baggage and warts.
Lot of people think tech crowd in Bay area is driving up housing, but that's not true - at least not entirely. Tech crowd is actually small fraction of population even in Bay area and housing is on similar steep incline rate pretty much everywhere.

My theory was that much of the demand for housing is from investors. I've read tons of reports that wealthy people from China had been descending on US soil and gobbling up pretty much everything on their way with entire deals in cash. My real estate agent told me she is completely stunned how many deals are coming from foreign investors in cash. On a typical house that comes in market, it gets viewed by 200 buyers and gets about 10 offers within 1 week involving bidding wars more often than not. I also show these giant investing funds sweeping entire areas with their billions (my area was gobbled up by Berkshire, for example). I also have few colleges who are now owning as many as half dozen real estate properties - all bought from mortgage then rented out through agencies. They are saying business has never been better and I suspect they might soon leave their jobs to retirement. Many other people I know overseas are putting larger and larger savings in buying real estate. In most big cities, you can find buildings upon building with super expensive apartments that only gets bought and sold but no one lives there.

I think what has happened is 2008 crash actually made real estate more stronger then any other time in history because of the way it has bounced back. In essence, real estate is a new cow. You can milk it forever by renting it out and are thus guaranteed certain % of return. Plus it goes up in value on pretty much any long stretch of time. Plus you can actually use it unlike gold or stock. Plus it's virtually inflation protected. The biggest advantage, however, is that you are almost guaranteed never to loose your entire principal - even in the tough times. Even if 2008 repeats, you might lose 5-25% of value unlike stocks where anything is possible. Traditionally investors thought of real estate as lousy investment because of non-liquidity, auxiliary expenses, less rate of return than stock etc. The modern investor thinks real estate as highest yielding best bet among all other safest bets.

I feel trend is going to continue at least for another 2-3 year if not more. I can easily imagine 10-30% of all urban areas bought out by investors and only available for rent. This would be a really bad thing on many levels. First, money tied up in real estate doesn't go toward economy growth. Second, rental market will get worse and worse because it will be controlled by few players who will dictate prices to make sure they get highest return. Third, owning house would become too distant a dream for pretty much anyone except top 1%.

The funniest thing is that you and me are technically funding above process. All our 401Ks and retirement funds ultimately ends up at groups like Blackstone to buy up real estate and then rent it back to us at highest possible rate :).

It talks about checking the references given by the candidate in the same breath, there's a certain spatial locality there. Also whatever vagueness there is in the article does not open up the door for unqualified bitching.

I bet if you tried that the design of the gearing and transmission systems would be super complicated though.
Can anyone explain to me why some implementations only support 512-bit or 1024-bit parameter? Aren't the algorithms the same for all sizes? Why can't a certain implementation handle arbitrarily large parameters?
It ignores the fact that, for every transaction that was made, the other side also made a profit. Saying that the man is time-shifting the grain is equivalent to saying that the farmer is time-shifting money.
On the average, profit is half of added value. Spending half of added value doesn't "almost perfectly cancel out all the good you did".
I am wondering the mobile strategy is completely abandoned because none of the examples work or look good on the iPhone. They have weird edgy / sharp borders. Didn't feel 60fps at all.

Not the op, but I can give you one important reason for me why Promises aren't as great when compared to callbacks (specifically wrt the ES7 async/await syntax): with callbacks, I have greater flexibility in choosing the best approach for running asynchronous code in parallel.

For example, let's take the wonderful async.js library. There are a variety of different tools at my disposal on picking how to run tasks in parallel. My favorite one is async.auto. With this method, I can define the asynchronous tasks and their dependencies, then async.auto finds the best way to run the tasks in parallel while still ensuring the tasks end up having their dependencies met. This is more in tune to declarative programming's ideal of defining what results you want, rather than specifying how to accomplish getting those results.

Now with ES7's async/await, everything is still sequential. Better than blocking synchronous programming, but it could be better.
Seems petty. Mozilla is one of the most pure open source projects out there in mission, ethos, and product. Addons are user choices, and trying to limit that choice is self defeating in free speech.
My guess is that losing the "patriot" act would actually improve the capabilities of US counterterrorism because they'll be forced to get their shit together and do some real intelligence work rather than wasting huge amounts of time and resources on this panopticon fantasy that they clearly have no idea how to utilize effectively. Constraints provide focus.
I currently rent from an Invitation Homes property in Seattle. I'd dearly love to buy the place from them (sketchy hedge-fund backing aside, it is a gorgeous house that is well-maintained), but they ain't selling and my rent has a 'guaranteed' increase of 5% per year, with the agent telling me to 'expect closer to 10-15%, unless I sign a multi-year lease'. Definitely a drag, but ye gods and little fishies is it difficult to put together a 10% downpayment for a mortgage. Median home prices around here are $300k-$450k, and $30k in cash is quite the chunk of change.

Quality of service would involve various things, but there could be a big taxi company called Toober, for example, with a good reputation, so you could reasonably expect to receive at least decent service from their drivers, and there would be no problem.

If you were feeling more adventurous, you could opt for a small(er) provider without an established reputation, but it would cost a bit less than Toober. Most likely, there would be no problem.

3rded for putting Linux on it. gjvc recommended Debian, and I'll second that. Because Ubuntu is based on Debian and touted as 'user friendly', there's an inference that Debian is not user friendly which is not true. It just works.

Ah, I see this is the Isaac Asimov approach to Islamic historiography.

I don't think even Will Durant would toss around numbers like that. And 50% of Muslims sheltering extremists is a totally indefensible number. Maybe after the whole country had been subjected to sustained modern propaganda techniques of the sort we have not yet seen any Islamist regime deploy.
I often wonder if the demise of Facebook will be from an "empathy famine". There won't be anymore likes for starving children.
It's not hard to imagine how this concept could expand to the web at large. Rather than deciding what ad to display by consulting a user profile built on cross-site history tracking, a site could simply ask the browser for advice on what to show, without the site having to learn anything in particular about the user.

Good for the site because they get better advice; good for the user because they get more privacy and control.

(I've nothing to do with the team behind this at Mozilla, and have no idea what their roadmap actually is. But it's pretty clear that this is just a first step in a broader version of re-inventing advertising on the web, not a stand-alone attempt to generate a bit more revenue).
If you looked at my link and got through it, I congratulate you :-) but we're still talking about only title II of the Patriot Act!

FWIW, I personally don't find anything particularly controversial about title III which deals with money laundering. I don't think concentration accounts should ever be allowed, tightening the rules around identifying foreign beneficial owners and a whole raft of measures were actually very effective and fair.

Title IV had problematic aspects around modifications to the INA, particularly around disallowing the entry of family of designated terrorists from entering the U.S. as I feel that's overly broad and discriminatory. I'm particularly cautious about the mandatory detention provisions, even with the safeguards in place.

Title V was the one that introduced NSLs, but that was deemed unconstitutional do it's a moot point now.

Title VI provided for victims of terrorism, public safety officers and their families. Rolling back these provisions would be pretty bad.

I gotta dash, so can't comment on the other titles, from memory there were some issues, but by and large many of the changes were benign.

That's the problem with the Act - firstly, the name causes suspicion ("Patriotism is the first refuge of a scoundrel"), it was pushed through far too quickly and I doubt any members of Congress read it which is why it has large holes in it, and parts as it was enacted were later deemed unconstitutional.

The good citizens of the United States should really insist on smaller, more focussed bills passed separately in future. And those pushing the bills would be better off skipping cute backronyms like the "USA PATRIOT Act".
Land is special because it can't be made.
Imagine that you land on some planet, with no way to go back. You can work remotely using the intergalactic internet. It turns out you're the second guy there, the first guy now legally owns all the land. He agrees to rent you some land for living, at the maximum price you are capable of paying. Isn't he capturing your labor?

It's still 'beneficial' to both parties, because if you don't pay you will get legally killed for trespassing by police robots.

That's the situation on Earth, except 'the guy' is 'older generations' and the homeless are generally allowed to sleep rough on public land in most countries. Also no intergalactic internet.
