Ask HN: Renting house in SF / Bay area?
Arriving from Canada, having job offer and monthly budget around $4-4.5k - need to rent 3 bedroom something within 40 minutes of driving to SF downtown.

What do I need to have (paperwork?) and whats the best way to proceed?
Reproducibility is already a huge issue in modern psychological research, and this type of presumptive analysis of self-reported anecdotes isn't helping.
Ask HN: Teacher puts video of kids' activity online. What license is best?
Imagine a teacher/educator does a computer lab with kids and wants to film some of the activities and put them on youtube; little boys and girls would appear in the video saying they're having fun etc.

What agreement/license with kids and parents is best to have?

You can assume the video has no lucrative purpose, but the internet being what it is, things can happen like virality, links and references out of the original context and whatnot. Just asking "are you okay with this being online?" seems a little shallow, given you're dealing with minors. And besides, a proper license looks like a more sound approach. I know you're probably not a lawyer, I am just looking for a general advice.

EDIT: spelling
I'm not saying there's a conspiracy or covert political agenda. There is no allegation to set forth they're aligned with anything.

The organization is reactive to the whims of external political / social pressures, namely that of social media, and they cave to them. They're not engaging in self-introspection, responding based upon core values we would expect, namely, the hacker ethic.

The hacker ethic is about merit. It's about protecting ideas and valuing curiosity, wit and cleverness to spur innovation. Ideas and opinions, especially if unpopular, would be tolerated - which is in essence is diversity. On twitter, Eich's out of work donation for a political cause, in the eyes of mobs, was juicy bait for professional agitators.

Are we to just let every organization get bullied into submission until all expression, down to how you want to raise your family, puts great engineers homeless and on the street?

If they could do it to Eich - they could do it to everyone.
Yes, I see how you could take my comment in that way.

Zapcc: A faster C++ compiler
The original context in which Dijkstra wrote that was very different; he was primarily referring to old versions of Fortran and BASIC, where gotos where more or less the only (or the predominant) form of branching. In other words, something like

if (foo() || bar())
xyzzy();
else
idkfa();

would have often been written something like

100 F = FOO()
200 B = BAR()
300 IF F OR B
400 GOTO 4840
500 ELSE
600 GOTO 8000
700 ....

and whatever was happening at 4840 would GOTO back to 700 (with predictable catastrophic results if anything before 700 changed) and so on.

Local use of goto in the context of e.g. bailing out of an ini function if something failed early in the initialization sequence is useful and not frowned upon by people whose daily work consists of something other than writing coding standards. There are a few (well-meant!) exceptions that have to do with e.g. static analysis, but those tend not be so important outside the field of high-reliability systems.
I spent more than an hour and a half yesterday trying to get a sticky footer working in a non-hacky way. This morning, using the technique described here, it took me less than five minutes and it involved no hacks or trickery. Thank you.
> What has happened instead is application developers have learned that it is much easier to program the users to suit the needs of the computer than it is to program the computer to suit the needs of the user.

Apologies for going off on a tangent, but I feel this 'fact' (which strikes me as plausible) is one of the reasons that interfaces such as Siri, Cortana and Google Now are not used to their full potential by many people. In fact, most people with smartphones that I know consider the voice interface just a toy; a party trick.

A few months ago I decided to try and use Siri more regularly. At first it was primarily setting timers for cooking or a pomodoro-ish approach to my day. Then I started creating reminders (which on my phone are automatically sent to my OmniFocus / GTD inbox). Then I started creating one-off reminders for specific times ("siri, remember to bring my drawing notebook at 9:45" for a meeting at 10:00). Then I started using the geolocation feature. On top of all that I use siri for the simple requests like searches, the current time, whether it's going to rain, etc.

Having done this for a while, it baffles me to watch people around me set their alarms manually, install special egg timer apps, create manual tasks all the time, and so on, where a simple siri command would suffice.

While I do understand that many people might feel self-conscious using voice-commands in public, nobody I know uses them in private either, where they're plenty useful.

The only explanation I can think of is that the user is not properly programmed to use Siri, and Siri is not 'complete' enough (yet) to be used without some basic instructions.

(in a broader sense I notice this with all computer functions as well. Many people I know have no clue of what simple things they can do to vastly speed up their computer use. And that's largely because nobody taught them, and they're just not the type of person that constantly tries to find the optimal workflow.)

Yes, how does he go from DUAL_EC_DBRG being backdoored to using the same few elliptic curves being an issue? It's not accurate or productive to lump e.g. Curve25519 or Goldilocks448 in with DUAL_EC_DBRG and issues with 1024-bit DH primes.

Not only a hypervisor-generic, just generic. Whoever said that unikernels required the cloud wasn't thinking too much </friendlyjab>.

I share avsm's excitement, and think we're on the verge of a transition away from the world where the OS is some arbitrary black box that you must have for anything to work. In the future world the components included in software stacks are determined per application need instead of the OS author('s ego). That transition is partly motivated by the cloud, but also partly by more and more smaller and smaller special-purpose devices.

I think the keyword for what you are looking for is "model release". There are a lot of examples out there, hopefully also one that can be adapted for this purpose.
1. I still prefer the FireFox UI since it works better with lot of tabs, in Chrome the tabs are becoming smaller and smaller until the point that you can't see them. And Firefox's preference screen is so much nicer, so no it's not a verbatim copy, they improved a lot the interface. The history autocomplete is also one of the strong features of Firefox and still does not exist on Chrome.

2. The servers are only use to find clients, the data is transiting directly between the computers with WebRTC.

3. The ad tiles are there until the screen is full (which happens very fast). In practice, almost half of the ads are for Mozilla itself (Firefox for Android, Marketplace ...).

4. And so ? What's the problem by having Yahoo instead of Google in some countries ? It provides some diversity and competition in the search market which really needs it.

5. I agree on this but it's not like Mozilla had a choice, they tried to resist up to the last minute. And their implementation unlike Chrome's one (if I remember) is going to be strictly sandboxed. So they tried to do what they could. This is really Chrome's fault here.

6. I think they did not have a choice either on this one, unlike what Google is advertising, Android is much less open than they say. A lot of proprietary binaries are needed to run the OS and the stock Android is just the bare minimum. Maybe in the future they could provide an open-source replacement to it but I think they did not have enough resources.
Work as few or as many hours as you like. That's a pretty big benefit of contractors.
The article may have made this unclear, but just being happy about good news for you isn't self-promotion.

The article quite clearly states that such self-promotion is what is often termed "humble bragging" (and in case the article might have misunderstood the study, the actual study itself uses very neutral language, like "sharing accomplishments"), which unfortunately is essentially just sharing any good news at all -- the examples given are new car, promotion, but the gist of the pretty limited study was sharing accomplishments.

From which I have to say that nostrademons is somewhat on the mark. It is unfortunate that many people project their own negative feelings (jealousy, resentment) onto other people's statements, to the point where our lives have to be presented as a shit sandwich if we ever really want to share good news without "bragging" --- "Pretty surprised that a dumb jerk like me got a promotion. I'll probably end up getting myself fired.". It's easy enough to do, but ultimately it's usually lying to yourself and the audience just to pander to other people's insecurities and just adding noise to the whole world.

And one of the best examples of this is the infamous Facebook baby updates: To people who care about the person, those are wonderful bits of news about something that is the one of most important events in the person you care abouts lives. To other people it's some asshole trying to lord over them just because they can procreate...I mean any asshole can go and have a kid and really do you need three pictures of a little shit and noise machine in a whole week? Who do they think they are...

"Bragging" is in the eye of the beholder more often than not, and generally is a case where people have to start to increasingly filter facts about their lives lest they pass the "bragging" line in the sand of the listener. Many people love to hear your bad news, but they resent your good news.

The logo copyright licensing was fixed years ago. The reason Debian still ships Iceweasel is that they do not have permission to use the Firefox trademarks. IIRC, to get permission, they would either have to use unmodified binaries as shipped by Mozilla or submit every build to Mozilla for approval. Something like that. In fact I was surprised that F-Droid was able to ship something called "Firefox".

You seem to be implying that Debian's Iceweasel package contains binary blobs. That shouldn't be the case, could you clarify that please? It's true though that Debian doesn't have policies about software using non-free network services and user tracking.
I agree. Even when scientific journalism is responsible, there's a concerning trend on social media, esp. reddit, where a study appears to be judged by how interesting the headline is, and its rigor is seldom discussed (e.g. an unreviewed paper by researchers working with limited data will likely overshadow more thorough but less exciting studies).

But this isn't even responsible science journalism.

I was being kind of loose in my technical description. Perl is similar to true bytecode-based languages in that it gets compiled into a lower-level representation that is not native machine code, and then that representation gets executed by a program that behaves like a cpu whose native machine code is the symbols used in the representation.

But you're right, Perl's implementation of this strategy isn't like classic Pascal or modern Java's implementations. But that doesn't alter my point; writing idiomatic Perl gives you a smaller AST with symbols that execute optimized code.

You're also right about Perl not having C-like performance for anything computational, because there you're dealing with Perl's data types, which are powerful and flexible but not efficient, as the article describes. My point was more about looping, set operations, string manipulation, conditional statements, and data structures. Perl has both efficient and inefficent ways to handle all of those, and it pays to learn to use the efficient expressions.
Some of those sites are used by the addons service to keep addons up to date, and by blocking them you potentially prevent updates.
Imagine the opposite extreme. No one is allowed to own a dwelling they don't live in. Graduate college, get a job, and want to live someplace? Pony up to buy a place, hope you have the 10-20% downpayment bucko...because there's no housing for rent. Every time you move, you're on the hook for 5-8% of the total value of the house in commissions and fees. You think that UHaul truck was expensive? Wait until the moving costs are that plus $15K each time. (which comes out of/delays your next downpayment savings)

Suddenly, the availability of short and mid-term rentals seems like an economic good compared to a world where there were none of those dastardly "foot soldiers for the banks".

We've talked about prosecutorial misconduct, trumped up charges, classification of computer hobbyists as terrorists, 7 felonies a day, hyper-aggressive (and borderline illegal) pushes to force settlements pre-trial, and so on, and so on, innumerable times here on HN.

It's no surprise that unchecked power to ruin individual lives no matter the severity of supposed crimes would lead to things like this. Either we should be surprised this doesn't happen more often, or shouldn't be surprised when it continues to happen.

And I certainly have zero faith that we'll see federal prosecutors reigned in any time soon.
Right - the parent / painter job is going to fail on the "ongoing relationship" part of being an employee - once the painter has painted the room they go off to another job.

I don't think the examination of either bragging or lying for individual benefits and group cost are just "so what."

There are at least two named categories for people with that combination of traits: nouveau riche (people who've metaphorically won the lottery due to what they perceive to be their superior number-picking abilities) and trust fund babies (people who've had no input into the building of their wealth, but who belive it's something they deserve rather than just something they have).

Is MacBook Pro powerful enough for Xcode development?
I am thinking to get a MBP for iOS / OS X development. I wanted know, following machine is powerful enough for Xcode and also for general development (running multiple apps, vagrant, VMs etc). I will be using this machine for developing/learning Python, C++ and Go.

Specs:
2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, 8GB 1866MHz LPDDR3 memory, 256GB PCIe-based flash storage, Intel Iris Graphics 6100

Or do I need even more powerful Mac? I won't be doing any graphics related processing like editing videos or animation, so I think onboard graphics would suffice. Appreciate any help.
>Uber on the other hand, definitely has an ongoing relationship with their drivers,

But Uber drivers can also have simultaneous business relationships with Lyft, and be a NY taxicab driver, and offer driving services on Craigslist, etc.

Employers such as Apple Inc or Microsoft would not tolerate an employee working simultaneously for Google Inc.

The folks contending Uber drivers are employees have valid points. However, Uber also has valid bullet points that the drivers are contractors. I don't know which way the scales tip. I guess all this dialogue in the media, the local governments, and maybe the IRS is trying to sort it out.

>core values we would expect
Who are the "we" you are speaking for?

>the hacker ethic.
You are trying to impose your own, personal values, a subset of vaguely defined hacker ethic, on Mozilla. However, Mozilla's stated "mission is to promote openness, innovation & opportunity on the Web."

>The hacker ethic is about merit. It's about protecting ideas and valuing curiosity, wit and cleverness to spur innovation. Ideas and opinions, especially if unpopular, would be tolerated - which is in essence is diversity.

This is your personal interpretation. Let's compare your interpretation with the opinion of a person who is an epitome of hackers.

Richard Stallman describes:

"The hacker ethic refers to the feelings of right and wrong, to the ethical ideas this community of people had—that knowledge should be shared with other people who can benefit from it, and that important resources should be utilized rather than wasted."

"...Some hackers care about ethics—I do, for instance—but that is not part of being a hacker, it is a separate trait... "

You don't get to define hacker ethic and attack Mozilla from your personal ideological platform.

>...down to how you want to raise your family...

The whole controversy originated from the fact that Eich donated funds to the campaign designed to reduce freedom of expression(marriage) of particular group of people(LGBT). No-one challenged his opinions on raising his family.

>puts great engineers homeless and on the street? If they could do it to Eich - they could do it to everyone.

It's not always easy. I was a bad fit for my last gig (FP/OOP culture clash, mostly), but it took 4 months for them (and me!) to see that. It could have been much quicker (a month), but neither my elder colleague nor me had the gut to tell our hierarchy we probably can't work together: I was still on probation, and my colleague approved my being hired.

Besides, if they did let me go after a month, I'd have resented them for not giving me a fair chance.
