The other possibility is that if every company starts doing this (using open source!), the majority of software will be written and maintained by employees of said companies.

This is already the case for many projects, isn't it? In the case of OpenBSD, several of the core developers are either owners or employees of companies that use OpenBSD in their operations.

Rather than direct chemical triggers that stimulate the brains reward system ("tiny darts of cocaine"), they typically use other triggers to the reward system, like music. Same effect, less additional machinery.

The difference between online dating sites and co-founder matching sites is that with dating, there is a well defined process to gauge mutual attraction over time with minimal investment.

You go on a date for an hour, get to know the other person and if there's a connection, do it again. Eventually, after a few dates, you might decide to become exclusive, after a few more, it might be a real relationship. And after a few years, it might lead to marriage.

Co-founder matching sites always seemed to me like you're skipping the whole 'dating' process and jumping straight to marriage.

I'd be interested in a site that had some way for me to get to know the other potential founder's work ethic, intelligence, integrity, and sociability without jumping straight into a legal business relationship right away. I don't mind if the process takes months to find the right one.

Co-founder matching sites should set a goal of finding the perfect co-founder 3-6 months from now. Now, their job should be to help qualified candidates go through the 'dating' process in the interim. THAT would be real value and I'd sign up and pay if I came across something like this.

Of course things are more nuanced, when it comes down to the matter of lifestyle and individual choice.

But it's kind of beside the main point. Which is: when it comes to their tireless efforts to tear down nearly any reasonable safeguards (whether in the form of health warnings on packaging, or access to minors) -- and especially the extent to which they resort to FUD and blatant anti-intellectualism to achieve these ends -- the tobacco lobby simply has no case.

I'm still not clear on the process they're describing. According to the article, a Supernova was "powered by the decaying super-strong magnetic fields around an exotic object called a magnetar". This is what caused the ultra-long GRB.

What I'm wondering is, was the object a Magnetar, prior to the Supernova? In which case, the prospect of a Magnetar going nova is pretty novel in and of itself. Or, was the Magnetar created during the nova? In which case, the ultra-long GRB was the result of creating a magnetar.

your GoT frame-by-frame analysis will certainly be delayed
Both sides cannot lose money simultaneously, by construction of the financial markets. +1 - 1 will always equal zero. Not -2.

If your point is that "it always goes back to the fundamentals" and therefore fundamentally-driven investors will always win in the long run, I put to you that there is so much accumulated capital over centuries in Europe, that the ECB can wield this to fight the fundamentals for far longer than you can stay solvent.

Consequently:

When we're in a regime-shift scenario, as now, fast decision making is a much better value-adding skill than weeks of fundamental analysis which can be swept aside at the whim of a policy maker.

Therefore I completely disagree with you. Those who are currently holding on to fundamental analysis are losing money hand over fist in a market which values connections and reading of policy maker tea leaves. I give you as evidence, the EURUSD exchange rate. Here is the most liquid series on earth, and one which is barely moving on fundamentals, namely the existential crisis which the euro itself is facing. It is manipulated and no amount of conscientous fundamental analysis will help. Instead fundamentals will just bog you down in irrelevant detail and a false identification of the drivers. Techs, positioning, and fast moving gut feel is what matters in this market.

Basically: there is no definitive winning formula in finance. You have to use your instinct and flit between strategies as the state of the world requires. Sometimes that's fundamentals. Right now it isn't.

So far so good - but it's only been a few weeks!

Summer in Oregon is wonderful, no two ways about it. What we'll have to see is how the winter is over here. I grew up in Eugene and lived in Portland, and just can't handle that endless gray.
I wasn't so annoyed that the flight got delayed and I got stranded in the wrong city, it was the way they handled it. United's response was:

1. Do nothing. You're stuck here. We'll get you on the next flight. Oh, the next available flight isn't for over a week. Sorry. No, we can't pay for your rental car.

2. Upon renting my own car, and writing to customer service to complain I got a $125 voucher for United. Great. Not enough to buy an entire ticket, so it just ensures I'll have to continue giving money to this airline that failed to deliver what I gave them money for in the first place.

3. After several weeks of emails back-and-forth with customer service finally a manager agrees to issue a reimbursement for the rental car as a one-time exception to their policy of never doing that. (but not the $7 worth of gas. I guess they just have to draw a line somewhere? Oh, and they also rescinded the voucher. No big deal since I'm not too keen to fly with them again anyway)

So, yeah. Sometimes shit goes wrong when you travel. Everybody knows that. How airlines act to fix it makes all the difference. If you hamstring all your customer service reps so they can't actually solve someone's problem, it makes something that's already annoying way more frustrating.
So, the TLDR is that the author wasn't getting documented data from APNS, and this was verified by digging through GDB and OpenSSL.

While digging through everything is fun and worthwhile, this could have been checked much quicker with wireshark. tcpdump -w packets_from_apns.pcap -n -s 0 -i whatever src port 2195; wait for the problem to happen, check it out in wireshark -- if the circumstances are as the author describes, APNS will only send a TLS Alert packet, and not any TLS Application Data packets, so it should be obvious they're not sending any data.

Also, re "I'm now pretty familiar with the OpenSSL source (it gets a bad rap, IMO C is more at fault)": I disagree, since I'm more familiar with the OpenSSL source than I'd like.

Many things are way more obtuse than they should be: if you want to support TLS 1.0 and up, you need to disable SSL 2 and 3, and call SSLv23_server..; if you call TLSv1_server..., you get TLS 1.0 only (this seems to have been changed recently, there's now a TLS_server... , but a neutral name should have been chosen, and earlier)

Also, if you want to support an extension OpenSSL doesn't, the only way to do it is to register for a debug callback.
That's what existing reinsurance companies do, if I understand correctly. They insure the insurance companies.
Gradle tip #3: Tasks ordering
So I did the same when I was an employee, but I'll point out that this introduces a pretty strong adverse-selection effect. Time spent managing up is time not spent doing your job or building value for users. If managers rely simply on what their reports tell them, they select for people that can navigate internal politics well, not ones who do their job well. Over time the organization is filled with people whose attention is always focused upwards, not outwards, and then the company becomes bait for a startup.

A skilled executive makes sure they have a pulse on what's going on inside their organization beyond what they're told. Relatively few executives are that skilled.

Also, it didn't say anything about the effects of the strains. I personally know very little about pot, but when you say things like "It’s smooth on the tongue and nose, while giving a delicate blend of sativa and indica qualities that make for a well balanced hybrid." it basically means nothing to me as a total novice. I think it would make a lot more sense to list the effects of the strain and what an intended user might experience. I'd make your listing much more geared to newbies, who would likely benefit the most from a sampler style offering.
i kind of understand why people here frequently against high-density - the way it is done in US ends up with pretty unlivable space of towering boxes surrounded by concrete and asphalt (which is just obvious result of profit maximization while obeying height limits, etc..

I played around with this on my own, and the shared library system will only work with Linux binaries for now. I wasn't able to get it working with OS X or Windows, with the very clear message from Go telling me the "platform target is not supported."

I think it is mostly a getting started point, and not generally useful unless your only target is Linux (which very likely may be the case unless you're working on desktop apps).
Funny... I remember when Linode first became really popular, it was right around the time Slicehost got bought (and subsequently shut down by) Rackspace. A lot of people moved over to Linode because Slicehost was no more (or when the writing was on the wall that it would soon become no more).

So perhaps you're correct that lack of funding is making Linode lazy now, but that doesn't mean that getting bought or accepting a bunch of money would solve the problem.

Side note: the original slicehost founders grew to regret their decision of selling to Rackspace, see: http://37signals.com/founderstories/slicehost
Totally agree. It's easy to understand the implications but as a New Yorker it's hard not to be proud of your city in some ways. The UES being worth more than six states, it just boggles the mind to try to do the comparisons in your head.

I want to live someplace that's not too big in area, actually. Padova (where I've spent most of the past 15 years) is actually about the same size as Boulder, and has more than twice as many people, and I liked it just fine.

What I want is to live within biking distance of where I work (10 minutes today - yay!), as well as be able to ride my road and mountain bikes, and have other outdoor stuff close by. In Boulder, to get something affordable, you need to live in one of the nearby towns, which means either an hour by bike, or a drive. Thus - for me - defeating the entire purpose of not living in a big city.

I like density in other words, as long as the total population is not too high.

I guess the only concern I can think of is that if the majority of content submitters are angry, they may become less involved, switch to being commenters/lurkers, or move on to another site entirely. If the content diminishes, then the users might frequent the site less or look elsewhere.

How to Handle Fear of Rejection

Most people try to start a company by forcing an idea they think is good. Just like one of my college friends, who doesn't understand the market, industry, or even the target audience for his idea. Like I said, you don't just start a company. You start a company when you realize that this is a product that can sell, until then, it's a side project.

I can't tell you the countless times my college friend came up with a "great" idea. Even went as far as registering an LLC. I quickly dismiss most of his "great" ideas with 5 minutes of googling.

Starting a company means you need to invest ALL of your free time into building the company, product, acquiring customers, etc.

Most people register an LLC with their crappy idea and think they are running a company. Unless you are willing to drop out of school and invest 80 hours a week building this company, it's probably not worth it.

The reason PG suggests to build things that don't scale, is because getting experience building applications is far more valuable than trying to force a stupid idea into a business. Building applications that already exist just for fun, will open your mind. Once you start connecting different ideas together, organically, an idea worth becoming a business will come to mind.

You can sit and brainstorm ideas all day, but the best ideas, the ones that can turn into a business, they just come to you out of the ordinary.

This is very true. In order to be collaborative, we must use the same tools, or compatible tools. You could of course have a reasonable, constructive debate about the merits of different source code management systems, for example. However, it would be strange to feel personally attacked if someone doesn't like your preference, or to think you're better than someone else because of their preference. It would be about compromising.

Confluent Raises a Series B
If you don't know what your direct reports are doing, why the heck are you their manager? If she's spending so much of her time dealing with AMAs, surely it's worth sitting down and going over her process regularly and how it's changed over time. If her management didn't take an interest in how the system worked, that's on them.

That said, it honestly seems like they didn't know or care. No one told any of the subs she helped moderate (not even one of the largest on the site) that Victoria had been let go. If they had any idea what she did at all, and had any interest whatsoever in keeping the community together, they would have at least tried to get that information to the people who would be affected. Instead, they shoved her out the door and called it done until a celebrity showed up at their door with an appointment and no one knew what to do.

Anyone taking over her role should have immediately checked to see what was happening. Even if she left no notes or schedule whatsoever, they could have checked the AMA schedule, talked to the mods, and gotten some kind of temporary plan in place. Instead, they just let the whole thing collapse and then tried to sweep it under the rug later. It wasn't that they didn't know what she did, it's that they didn't care and didn't think it needed doing.
> "The stubborn unwillingness of incumbent homeowners in highly productive places—namely San Francisco and New York City, which are barely visible on the land-area map, but dominate the housing value map—is a huge drain on the nation’s economy."

Not quite fair. Usually the xkcd syndrome is caused by plotting density of something that is intrinsic to people e.g. red hair. You end up with a heatmap of population.

Here, land prices may be higher because more people are there bidding up the prices. But its not a direct property of the individuals. So the heatmap effect is indirect.

Maybe not big point, but there it is.
