The moment when you were sure it should be over will look strange in retrospect, and you will be most grateful for even little things you decided to stay around for: the first day of summer, what happens in the new episode of Empire, etc.

Once you get out of there, you might think you would even want to live your life locked inside an empty room for the rest of your life, because even that might be infinitely better and more worthwhile than not living at all.

Best wishes.

OH man this infuriates me. I spent about three months on the ground in Haiti about 6 months after the earthquake. Ii was both in Port Au Prince and Cap Hatien. I am no expert on how to make donations and aid help in a long term manner, but I have seen two different attempts at this.

1) My time before Haiti and in Haiti, American's were telling Haitians how to fix things. They were thinking without consulting their "customers" and doing so in a very authoritarian way. I saw one project, where they came up with compressed board houses that they could live in permanently. When we showed the result of 100s of man hours to the Haitians you know what they said? We want a permanent house.

2) In Bolivia the nuns were given American teachers to teach the students instead of requiring them to pay Bolivians. But the GOAL of this program was to remove the teachers over time. My sister was at the same site about 2 or 3 years after inception. She taught Biology, Math, Science, Etc to all of the High school age kids. There were 4-6 volunteers. When I went there 10 years later we were teaching middle school kids English and traveling out to the boonies (because Okinawa Numero Uno was no longer the boonies) to teach, and play with the kids to give the parents a break.

2 years later they shut down the program. It was the sadest and happiest moment I've had regarding missionary work. They no longer needed American teachers. This community had grown with a culture of calling white people "Teacher" even the adults and now there were no more Teachers going there.

What was the difference? Customer buy in. Just like a successful company, in Bolivia they worked for and with the nuns(and people), in Haiti they worked on the nuns and people.

It appears that the red cross did the same thing by not hiring Haitians to higher positions of power and giving them control over their own lives. If you read Mountains Beyond Mountains, written about Paul Farmer you'll see someone who went and worked with his customers to an extreme level.

Standards groups tend to attract people who are Right Right Right. Typical make-up of a standards group:

- Two to three professional IT standards people. Haven't written code in years, limited actual influence back in the companies they work for. Usually report in to the "office of the CTO".

- One or two people ruthlessly out to promote their companies point of view because their products depend on it. Often don't even pretend to be diplomatic. Politicians.

- One or two academics representing their personal research whims and interests. They have little to no actual skin in the game. Often derail onto irrelevant topics.

- One to two people who know the area deeply, are actual practitioners with hands on skills in the area, and are reasonably neutral.

> The existing Alienware Alpha (which is basically what the SteamOS box is) benches about the same as an Nvidia GTX 750Ti, which outpowers both the XBox One and the PS4. It should have no problem matching or exceeding either console's performance, just like the existing Alpha.

It's a lot easier to optimize for the Xbox One or the PS4 than it is PC games, because there's only two hardware targets for console games, and so you don't have to code around drivers or corner cases that only affect some users, you can optimize to your heart's content and everyone has hardware identical to what you're testing on. Being more powerful than an Xbox One or PS4 is not the same as being able to run the same games well.

Cost of ownership is a more complicated question than you posit here -- you have to buy new hardware more often, and if you're taking advantage of the in-home streaming feature to fill the massive AAA gap these things have, it's almost impossible to recapture the cost of TWO gaming PCs compared to the cost of one Xbox/PS by saving money on games.
I spent two hours yesterday carefully reading it, and today I'll reread it, it's just perfectly logical and clear.

By which he means "Development on Starfighter's first game continues apace. It's, like every development project ever, slower than we expected it to be, and has involved some going down dead alleys as we explore how to make fun core game systems. We've got some of the core systems built and are firming up the other ones, and starting to build levels on top of them. We optimistically think folks will have a lot of fun with this when it launches, which will be when it launches -- we don't want to jinx ourselves by committing to a ship date."
So the optimizations in zlib-ng enable it to decompress ... more than 4x slower than vanilla zlib? That seems worthy of some further investigation.
Rents tend to be inflation adjusted. Mine adjusts automatically every year based on the inflation figures. So while your pension remains the same, your rent will jump and you suddenly cannot afford it. The end result is the same: You'll have to negotiate with your landlord (cut the price vs. skip the inflation adjustment).
Could it be that actually getting things done in horrible environments requires interacting with, and paying off, some shady people? This is of course a charitable guess, but could it be that the Red Cross has made a decision to make morally questionable choices in the short term in support of the greater good, and they know they can't publish such truths and continue to exist?

Ask HN: Review My Startup: Knock Real Estate
I've been working on creating a better way to discover homes online.

My business partner and I have been looking through real estate listings everyday since about last summer. We've combed through tens of thousands of listings and we have started development on an MVP. Our product aims to take shape to the likes of Pandora for real estate, where home consumers can simply select interests they like about homes and we recommend great homes to them.

Our MVP is set to be ready for testing shortly and in the meanwhile you can learn about the service at www.knockrealestate.com

-Do you think we can recommend homes you'll love simply based on interests you specify?

-Is it viable to beleive people don't buy homes just based on the number of beds, square footage, etc. of a home?

-Why wouldn't you use a site that could understand your home preferences to recommend homes we think could qualify to your taste?

-Is value added to an agent's ability to sell a home by targeting home consumers receptive to the various interests related to that home?

You can help out even more by taking this fun 2 minute survey https://knock.typeform.com/to/UKfdhv

Thank you very much in advance, I greatly appreciate your time. I would love to hear any feedback/questions/concerns and if you're in the market for a home I'd love to drop you a line as well.

Thanks!

> The point of gun control isn't to keep the guns from the hands of real criminals (much less gangs)

Ah, so there we have it.

> it's to keep guns from the average not-really-law-abiding citizen

So guilty until proven innocent.

> Whether that justifies preventing people from arming themselves for self-defense is arguable, of course

I guess it's a great thing we have the Second Amendment and associated judicial proceedings.

Heller v. DC further enshrined the individual right to keep and bear arms. Specifically, semi-automatic handguns.

While it is certainly within your rights to end your own life, the desire to do so often arises from life transients or changes.

Also, not to criticize, but if HN has been a cornerstone, you might want to look into a wider variety of building materials. HN isn't bad, but compared to the wide gamut of life? hardly a comparison.

Anyway, I know it's not so simple, whatever your reasonings. I've been there and I've talked with friends who were where you are.

If you lack a social support network (like I do) I really recommend getting a psychologist you can trust; huge in understanding thoughts and feelings.

But I hope you find that with some better coping mechanisms, life is easier to manage, and you'd be more up for living it than ending it.
Echoing so many others here. Please don't kill yourself. I've felt this way. You will endure this. Call the suicide hotline, a friend, a loved one, or one of the many other resource people have already posted. There are people in your life, both here and IRL, that love and care for you and will help you.

The world is better with you in it.
Encoded messages existed back then, merely in far less efficient mediums.
That's from 5 years ago.

Also: Your database changes should be entirely backwards compatible and should happen in one location (not on its own slice).
It's possible to encode a protobuf as JSON and we do it all the time at Google. In browsers, native JSON parsing is very fast and the data is compressed, so going to a binary format doesn't seem worthwhile. The .proto file is used basically as an IDL from which we generate code.
Maybe is time for them to modernize of close.
I think that Internet make possible new models of charities. A donation can be, at the same time, not local and very personalized.

I would like to recommend watsi:
https://watsi.org/

You can donate to concrete people and, they give you an accurate report, after the fact, of what happened.
I think we need more charities like them. Maybe something with education?

> And the primary cause identified is the effect of mass amounts of hormones, pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers used worldwide by homes, businesses, cities, and the agricultural and farming industries.

I personally am very very afraid for the coming years of food production. We have gotten to the point where very few people are informed or care at all about the sourcing of their food. One of the most poignant little observations of Food, Inc [1] was the branding of food products with images of pastures and green farmlands as if that is what it actually looks like. Greenwashing [2] has become so ubiquitous, the only thing more disturbing than the trend is that people believe they are helping.

Articles of this nature are going to continue coming up more and more frequently as species keep dying out. There have been numerous pieces already about massive honey bee loss, which is going to really suck for North America's biodiversity.

I would encourage HN readers to become acquainted with Industrial Farming and it's issues and surrounding controversy. There are few things that are more important to human civilization than our food, so it's well worth knowing about. If you're already on board, I highly recommend trying to reduce the amount of meat in your diet, as americans eat some of the highest amounts of meat per capita, under the misunderstanding (likely imbued on us by the factory farming industry) that meat is the only place we can get enough protein. I have been vegetarian for almost two years now and my health is just fine, and there's plenty to eat.

I think we all care about our current home and want to see it taken care of. Unfortunately, right now, that requires several major cultural shifts (at least for us US readers).

I would wager that a substantial number (probably majority) of individuals on this site (SF/NYC dwellers, especially) would trade their right (Ok: not really, but everyone elses) to keep and bear arms for a bit of (false) security.

Please don't kill yourself,

I don't know your situation and I don't know what you're going through and I can only imagine the pain you feel right now. The funny thing about life is you never realize how much you were loved until you're laying in your casket. I only say this because I am one of three and both of my siblings have passed at their own hands. My eldest brother battled demons unknown to us and took his own life and my youngest brother was bipolar and self-medicated to deal with it and accidentally overdosed. I know this may not seem important at the time but so many people loved them and they probably never realized and I'm sure their are a lot of people that love you.

It is your choice and like I said I don't know what you're going through, suicide isn't right or wrong, it just is, but it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Please don't do this. I'm listing my email below, If you see this and would be up for talking I would love to. I can give you my phone number as well if you'd prefer the phone or if you're close to me we can go get some coffee.

So then the brain must have some kind of weighting algorithm to decide what memory of equal value to jettison. Surely learning a few new URLs poses no risk to remembering which kind of car you drive?

And on the subject of memories, are all memories information? If you learn something new in mathematics, do you risk losing the memory of the cake at your fourth birthday party, or only something technical you learned about archery?

Also, if what you are saying is true, you are vulnerable to a DoS attack on your brain. I could flood you with new information right now and, if you read it, you might not remember your mother's name by the end of it.
In their response, the Red Cross pushes back fairly hard on the idea that they claimed to build shelters for 130,000 people:

http://www.redcross.org/news/press-release/13-Facts-about-th...

Specifically:

The Red Cross has provided more than 132,000 people with safe and durable housing, through a variety of methods.

In no place has the Red Cross called a t-shelter a permanent home. We consistently refer to the range of housing solutions that the Red Cross has offered in Haiti to provide people safe housing.

This January press release refers to "shelter programs":

http://www.redcross.org/news/press-release/American-Red-Cros...

Which doesn't seem like an attempt to claim built houses. It's a pain to find earlier stuff with search being clogged with this story.
Been there myself in the past. Still struggling with depression.

The only advice I can give you is to give yourself some time. Really think about if you want to do this for another 24 hours, or a week, or a month, depends you how long you can bear it. Play a videogame or do whatever you like, get your mind off your problems for a bit (preferably not with alcohol or similar things) and let your subconscious mind work. When the timeframe you set yourself has elapsed, reconsider. Is it worth doing it just now? Is there stuff you might still want to do in your life?

Keep in mind, you can always kill yourself when the pain gets too heavy, it's not a decision you need to rush.

I don't know if that works for you, but I'd say this has saved my life in the past, just knowing that you can always end it.
Are you a real person or just a troll? Your other comment today insults feminists as "femtards", and now you call people who interact with cloud platforms "devtards." There are many respected "cloud" companies with employees who've worked on a large variety of difficult problems and contributed to both open-source communities and the field of computing as a whole.

Grow up and actually write something that's more than a paragraph-long ad hominem attack. It might be a good exercise to get rid of that insecurity that's probably causing this need to call others some form of "tards."

WRT the actual post: This is a neat idea. If nothing else it might help expose more people to Haskell.
My wife and I worked in some Red Cross shelters in Lake Charles, LA in the immediate aftermath of Katrina. I wrote a bit about what I was doing here: http://arstechnica.com/security/2005/10/disaster-livecd/

My take-away from that is that I would never, ever donate a dime to that organization. The people in the local chapters who were the first to respond immediately after the disaster were fantastic. But when the national org eventually came in (and brought layers of on-site bureaucracy with them) it was a train wreck, and they started throwing their weight around cluelessly and got in the way of everyone and everything. If the full-time, paid staff of the Red Cross had just left things entirely in the hands of the local volunteers and had stayed out of the area entirely, things would have gone much more smoothly.

Private companies did so much more than many of the relief orgs. Sprint, for instance, gave us free event phones for the shelter residents to use to try to contact family. No worries about billing, or even if they'd get the phones back. Home Depot's efforts in the aftermath have been well-documented. And I believe it was IBM (my memory may be faulty) who donated thousands in computer equipment to the shelters where I was working, which the shelter residents used to track down friends and family who they'd been separated from by the storm.

I don't know if I'll ever have another experience like talking to some lower-level person at a big company, telling them that I'm there from a Katrina shelter where I just showed up to volunteer and have no formal association with any org, then immediately being escalated all the way up the chain to someone who makes decisions and that person says, "just tell us what you need from us and we'll do it. Don't worry about any cost or billing issues. Tell us what and when and where." That was awesome.

It was also a stark contrast, to be totally empowered by the likes of Sprint and IBM on the one hand, and then ignored and pushed aside by the Red Cross on the other. Pretty crazy.

The Salvation Army was maybe the one aid org that had their act together. Red Cross national staff and FEMA were worthless. Anyway, I regret that I didn't write all this down after it happened. Between my wife and I there's a great book -- or at least a really long magazine article -- in there somewhere.
Tips, presumably.

I didn't consider tipping culture. A scourge.
I won't presume to tell you that you've evaluated your situation fundamentally incorrectly. If you've come to this point, I doubt that hearing "there is always hope" is going to sway you. Personally, I think you have the right to make whatever decision you like about your own life.

BUT: I know from my own life that it is easy to forget about the value of keeping your options open. Death really is permanent, and always available, so there is rarely a need to rush it. All kinds of unexpected good things really can happen... and if not... you can still kill yourself later.

SO: I'd suggest you make sure you adjust your thinking for the likely bias that you are undervaluing the option-value in all the unexpected good things you can't specifically imagine right now. If you have even a little uncertainty on this point... better to wait a bit and see, no?
