what do you define as significant? 1M 10M or 100M plus
I have realised this is the best course of action for me. I've always wanted to do a startup, do something significant or meaningful. But I also yearn for freedom, like being able to go someplace warm for the worst 3 months of the year. Or just travel for a while. Saving 60% of me and my wife's income and working on side projects will allow me to do exactly that. If none of my side projects take off, we'll still be able to retire by 40. If something takes off then even better, I can keep that going through retirement.

> I have relatives making choices between feeding themselves or their pet for the day [..]

Really? And why do they have a pet? If they are disabled (e.g. blind) then I understand the inherent value of a pet (a god that helps you walk through). If not, then I think owning a pet is a poor choice for someone who can't feed himself.
Awesome game!

If someone finds the post as a boring "PR" job, then it probably wasn't meant to be read by that someone. Agreed, it's not the best of the introductions one typically reads on a TechCrunch or a Vogue cover, but it really hits the eye for someone looking for a job in his dream company, and is deciding to try the service out, having been really exhausted with all the other unsatisfying 'resources' already out there that promise you more than what they can seemingly offer, under the garb of all the "PR" they display on the surface.

A more detailed explanation of the cause:

http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~dusko/cs63/fdiv.html

5 entries out of the 1066-entry lookup table were wrong. They probably didn't use test vectors that exercised all the entries.

But in general, testing complex ICs is hard. There are analogue effects too - if an instruction happens to make the right set of transistors switch in a certain way, going past the estimated margins, power supply fluctuations and crosstalk could flip a bit or two. Sometimes these bit-flips don't cause any problems since it happens in an unused part of the logic, but sometimes they do. As the enthusiasts who like to overclock have shown, it's easy to get something that looks like it works most of the time, but then completely crashes when executing just the right instructions.
What I don't understand is: If Apple allows people to visualise OS X, why do they make doing so such a pain in the ass?

I looked into virtualising OS X so I could test an installer on a clean machine image, but the instructions always involve downloading patched ISOs from torrent sites. Seemed to me testing like that would make me less professional, not more professional :)

Give it for free to all your existing users. Going forward, any user who has the feature can also gift it (at zero cost) to new users. Otherwise paid purchase.

> Good guy me says put it in the free app, evil me says make em pay...

I'd say this is generously evil, or avariciously good ...

P.S.
I'd suggest making the app produce use-once gift codes (say up to three at a time) that people could post.

Ask HN: Domain name registration service for supplemental income?
Hi,

I work in a company but I feel that I have run out of passion for the company.

I intend to start my own product and consulting business, but before I can leave job, I am looking at ways to supplement my income so leaving hefty paying job is little easier :).

Target customers for my consulting is small/medium/startup companies. I was thinking if I can build a good interface for domain name registration and web hosting and direct my future customers to that. However I can only start consulting after leaving my job. So Question is in the meantime, can I run a domain name registration and web hosting business solely relying on SEO/SEM/PPC skills (I am pretty good at it).

I intend to generate ~$1500/month to help me quit job. I am looking for any other ideas you have too. This domain name service will offer good name suggestions/very end-user friendly interface for eg, to shift to Google Apps etc.

Later on I intend to tie into sell web hosting as well as ssl certificates on it.

I have 9+ years experience in web development(.NET/PHP/Angular),DevOps,SEO/SEM etc with quiet successful track record.
I agree, but with one caveat. It's only about greed if the patent / stake-holders make it about greed.

The parent comment I was replying to seems to imply it would be a good / welcome idea for patent / stake-holders to be greedy and make billions in profits.
I managed to install OS X Yosemite on Windows VMWare Workstation 10 using a commonly available VMWare patch and a USB stick for the installation, created using the standard createinstallmedia command.
I'm thinking about getting a MBP (have one at work) because the hardware is shiny and OSX is useful/needed for some things (iOS development, Unity development).
However I'd much rather run Linux as the base OS. That setup wouldn't violate the EULA. I guess I'll spin up a VB-image on this OSX-MBP and see how it goes :)
Useful.
Frankly if your compiler can't optimize this it's not worth using.

I live in Vancouver Canada, married with 2 kids. We own our house.

We save 48% of our take home pay, so spend 52%. We live the extreme early retire lifestyle, not for everyone. Some extreme early retire people would laugh at our savings rate (only 48%!).

The breakdown of the 52% spend is

- 27% goes to housing (mortgage, property taxes, house insurance)

- 5% goes to fixed costs (car insurance, life insurance, internet, cell phones, utilities, Skype phone, Netflix, VPN service, etc.)

- 20% goes to variable costs (groceries, gasoline, supplies like toilet paper, light bulbs, entertainment like restaurants, bars, movies, sport league fees, etc.).

I know variable costs are big, but we only loosely keep track of this. We control it by only allowing ourselves so much spend cash per month for these variable things and we stick to it, if we get low, we don’t do it or we have a serious discussion. We’ve tried to lower it more, but this seems the right level for our lifestyle.

I know I know, we own a house in Vancouver. Hey, we bought fixer upper years ago and got lucky with the market. I don’t count house equity in our extreme retirement plan, as far as I am concerned, it will be icing on top of the cake. Our only debt is mortgage (student loans paid off, 1 car that we paid cash for).

This is kinda great; I've thought about having something like it for "running" (simulating) embedded code on a PC, where the compiler just ignores (or asks the user for a value) when hitting anything that isn't available on the host pc (registers, etc).
In today's world it's hard to believe there are approval processes built to take > 10 years and > $2 billion.

I would bet if these processes were carried out "transparently" we would find alot of waste and inefficiencies.

EULA is a different thing from copyright.
Apple is not like that at all. Their software is excellent. My guess is that a large percentage of their customers keep buying their hardware because of iOS or OS X not because it's thinner.
Because we should all talk to lawyers before we do anything.
I would guess you'll probably get at best mediocre battery life not running OS X as the host OS.

If you happen to have any issues with hardware (that are actually hardware issues) it will also most likely be a lot harder (i.e. more involved) to get support from an Apple Store.

Also, from reading the quoted text about the "virtualisation" clause in the EULA - it may only be "acceptable" (by Apple's terms) to virtualise OS X on top of OS X (emphasis mine):

> to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software

I'd really like OSX but I suppose I wouldn't be really upset with Linux because of my price range. I haven't looked at Mac prices in a while but I'm assuming it would probably be a core 2 duo MacBook at best for around 200.
As stated before in this thread, there _will_ be nil Checks in the future which will result in NilErrors or you can just annotate it with `not nil` right now and it will never be nil. You can also use -fsanitize flags with the clang backend to trap the null dereferences.
copyright is different from software licensing.
Wind energy economics favor: fewer blades (though the three bladed design has some mechanical properties that make them the default choice), larger swept area, horizontal axis turbine (even though you need to aim those at the wind nobody has been able to produce a very large VAT that survived for even a short amount of time), direct drive (because gearboxes are very much prone to failure).

1000 small windmills would not be commercially competitive with a single large machine, would not extract as much power from the same amount of wind and would not be as safe. Small machines have to make a lot more RPMs so are inherently higher maintenance (bearing wear), harder to operate when connected to the grid and so on.

I'd love it if that weren't the case (which is why I built my own 5 meter/16' machine) but ultimately wind power will be dominated by several MW behemoths.

Indeed. Software licenses exist because copyright on its own is insufficient to define the relationship between vendors and customers.

I'm not saying that EULAs are good. But they're not obviously invalid just because common sense suggests you should be able to run some software on some hardware.

If Apple's EULA is unenforceable, how about Oracle's licensing agreements? Or the GPL? These are complicated questions.
I think that refers to Gamesa.

I would be really grateful if every engineer who ever complained about San Francisco being dirty and full of homeless people would move to Singapore, because it's pretty crass to complain about poor people in a city you don't want to live in, whose lives are made harder by you being there. By all accounts, Singapore is "clean", so, by any means, go there.

However from the top of my head I can give you one example that is likely used in very security-critical applications that also uses goto:

The linux kernel.

The kernel coding conventions actually state that this is because over-zealous nesting is more harmful than using goto statements.

>The rationale for using gotos is:
- unconditional statements are easier to understand and follow
- nesting is reduced
- errors by not updating individual exit points when making
modifications are prevented
- saves the compiler work to optimize redundant code away ;)

Ask HN: How do I hear capitalists who are a-venturing?
By comparison with the "normal HN reader" I live in "the arse end of nowhere". Well, in a very rural part of Kerry, in a very modern Ireland. Coming in over the Atlantic is a lot of rain, and a goodly amount of Silicon Valley capital.

I'm on a couple of weeks holidays, and spent the first one hacking a garden from the abundant (practically cancerous!) greenery. I took the Bank Holiday to step back and admire the rainbows, and now have the second week to hack a better startup in the local Technology Park.

Bumped into an old mate on the weekend, with whom I helped build (one of) the world-leading companies in that Park. Being the serial entrepreneur that he is, he's out starting again and I'd be surprised if you don't hear the new company's name next year or so. And hear that I'd built yet another solid successful software team for it.

He has my number, but I have an idea.

I've been polishing that idea since graduation, and you will all repeat that it cannot be done, but I know that in a few decades it will have been done. From here and now Google are most likely to have done it, although it also depends on who takes it seriously enough first. So it is still up for grabs.

So, the question: should I spend a few months / years with my old mate learning how he listens to investors, or is there a better way to learn how to get enough capital behind a different team and try to take over the world?

Even if you are all right that my idea is impossible, there'll be more ideas along next month, and we'll still need more entrepreneurs in Kerry then.

> The next step is an Indiegogo campaign in late June, and then delivery in late September.

If they already have a working product and a price set and they're going to ship in September they should be well into mass production right now and such a campaign would not make much sense.

If made cheap enough the circuitry could possibly be internalized in the battery sleeve.
Domain registration and re-sold basic web hosting are generally razor thin on margins - that's why most companies in those spaces try to "value-add" the fuck out of every customer.

Personally, I would instead focus on finding small (read: less demanding/time sensitive) clients you can take on part-time - this gives you a client base to start from when you go full time on it, and some extra income until that time.
They aren't the same thing. One is something that is done to you, the other is something you choose to do to yourself (or not, if you find it more useful).
