As a landlord I want 1) to rent out my place at the best price the quickest to the best tenant 2) to deal with the least amount of people possible. So I give my place to 1 broker only and let them handle that. Since I am also a renter the broker cuts me a deal on the broker fee when I rent, basically making it free when possible. That's another advantage of being a landlord.

Usually fees in NYC are 15%. The exclusive broker is going to make 7.5% no matter what. If another broker gets in, they might make 7.5%. If you're dealing with an exclusive broker you might be able to get a better deal, maybe 12% instead of 15%, they are more flexible on the price.

Ask HN: How do we solve problems?
I am a strong believer that if we have a skill in one area of our life, that skill spills over into other areas of our life…. and developers solve problems all day long. I’m working on a series of articles that explores how developers solve problems, outside of code.

I'm interested in your thoughts... I know a lot of you have a development background or work closely with people who do, would you be willing to take a short survey that might lead to a deeper discussion?

> Nobody wants Hillary

No polling data supports that; certainly, early polls aren't guarantees of final results, but they are a pretty good indicator of what people want now.

> Sanders will never get in running as a 'socialist'

Perhaps. Certainly he's rightly perceived as an underdog in the Democratic race.

> All of the polls show the GOP ahead.

While early polls aren't particularly useful, that's simply not true. Every 2016 head-to-head poll shows Clinton beating every GOP candidate she is polled against (with the wide lead she currently has in Democratic primary polling, very few pollsters is doing head-to-head polls featuring any of the other Democratic nominees.)

> Trump hasn't even effected the Hispanic vote with his crude comments

The one Nevada poll usually cited by Trump and his supporters to make that claim [0][1] just shows that (with a very small Hispanic subsample, so wide margin of error on the figures), Trump is the lead candidate among Hispanic Republicans in Nevada by a slightly larger margin than he is the first choice of Nevada Republicans more generally.

[0] cited on RedState for that claim here: http://www.redstate.com/2015/07/24/polls-indicate-trump-hurt...

[1] cited by Trump also, as this article notes with details about why it doesn't actually support the claim: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/07/23/th...

Hey jMyles,

Rackspace does play in this space! We have ObjectRocket which is a company that Rackspace acquired back in 2013 and their focus is Fast, scalable, reliable, and automated MongoDB & Redis (http://objectrocket.com/)

And then we have our Cloud Databases solution with an open API which allows you to deploy MySQL, Percona Server, or MariaDB pretty easily. Along with it also being HA and containerized (http://www.rackspace.com/en-us/cloud/databases)

But people are conversing about it in browser dev groups and in standards meetings (WAI, WHATWG and whatever) and such; they're just doing it with a focus to their own ends rather than the ends of the more general user population of the web.

I mean more along the lines of closed tech approach (compared to the automotive industry as a whole which has historically been open tech). I don't think the sarcasm is warranted. Given the recent Chrysler hacks it's quite possible that the closed ecosystem approach is what the market wants.
Though I wish there was more innovation happening in real estate, a part of me is pretty happy to have approximately 0 college students building apps in our vertical. That's the perk of building software only older people care about for an industry where you still have to talk to adults all day to get anything done (luckily I have some great adults on my team who do most of the talking).

There was also a time when most people thought they didn't need version control. Back in the 80s and 90s it was a justifiable viewpoint because existing version control systems sucked.

The problem with Docker is not that it doesn't solve (or attempt to solve) widespread problems. At its best, Docker gives you dev/production parity, and dependency isolation which is useful even for solo developers working part-time. The problem is that it's not a well-defined problem that can be solved by thinking really hard and coming up with an elegant model—like, for example, version control—it's messy and the effort to make it work isn't worth it most of the time right now.

That's no reason to write off Docker though. Pushing files to manually configured servers or VPSes is messy and leads to all kinds of long-term pain. You can add Chef / Puppet, but it turns into its own hairy mess. There's no easy solution, but from where I stand, the abstraction that Docker/LXC provide is one that has the most unfulfilled promise in front of it.
Thanks for being interested / opportunity to clarify. The rendering actually looked like I-Beams curved into some kind of egg-like shape. It was mathematically sound, sure, but at first glance coming up with an answer "Where can research go with this?" didn't seem apparent.

I tuned in to every Q&A session provided during the contest and time and again they reiterated certain principles for judging...when the results came in, yeah, pretty infuriating. Oh well...it did motivate me to finally meet with a Patent Attorney on a couple other ideas, so some lemonade did come out of it.
Really interesting article. One important newsworthy note from this article that I think has been missed in some of the broader coverage: Washio, Postmates, and Shyp have been sued by their contractors/employees, joining the same club as Uber, Lyft, and Homejoy. This is an industry-wide issue, not isolated to just a handful of companies, and has the potential to severely damage this budding industry, as the author notes.

Whenever I take an Uber or Lyft these days, I always ask what the drivers think about the issue, and the uniform response so far (obviously this is anecdotal and not at all scientific) is that they like the flexibility of being able to choose when to drive. For many, this is their second job they do on weekends, nights, or early mornings. They are worried that they'll lose this flexible source of income that are helping, for example, save for their children's college education or pay their way through night school.

I'm not saying that this represents the majority view, or that the legal issue should come out any differently, but I do worry that some of these workers, happily employed as contractors, will lose out on this opportunity.

I don't think the seasteaders contend that there is something magic about being alone on the ocean that makes a good society. So in that sense, seasteading would not "create" anything.

Rather, their idea is that the same freedom and informality that allows definitely-horrible things like this, would also allow for controversially horrible things, like libertarian policies.

No need to shoot on location? This is how it was done in the studio system from the early days through about the 1970s. The studios were more dominant then.

I agree some aspects of film are ripe for disruption but many aspects have already been disrupted multiple times over the years.

I'm in the medical industry, which is another field that tech newbies think will be fixed real soon now as hackers turn their attention to it. In both cases there is a lot of hard earned insider knowledge that outsiders (arrogantly) discount.
I'm not sure I'd even go that far. Traditionally the idea behind VLIW is that the instruction format matches the superscalar pipeline setup, so in each cycle you explicitly issue an instruction to each of the available ports in the architecture.

IA64 had wide "bundles" for superscalar issue, but it explicitly avoided exposing the individual instructions as "ports" and instead had a more flexible setup where, really, the bundles contained "just a bunch of independent instructions". There architecture assumed they'd all be issued in parallel (so there were rules about dependencies between instructions in a bundle), but made no promises about whether they actually could be, or even whether or not more than one bundle could be issued simultaneously.

I'm willing to pay for good content. But I also live in a place where a good software developer (net) salary is €14k/year, and that's still much higher than the average national salary, so I'm wary of these subscription services. They usually end up with a single price (since geo restrictions work poorly on the web), which the invisible hand pushes up to accommodate the disposable income of wealthier places.

As bad as advertisement is, it still helped subsidize my reading when I couldn't afford to pay for it, while the subscription model would create a tiered Internet for the more and less well-off.
Tenants never do this, amazingly.

A slightly higher rent is washed away in 1 month of not having the place rented out, it's definitely not worth any risk of not being able to rent a place out for a higher rent, so you charge what the market takes right now in a rush.
I'm pretty disillusioned with docker so far. Haven't put in too much time with it, but the little time I have put into it has produced nothing of value. I'm surprised we're still talking about it to be honest, with so much progress in unikernels like OSv, HalVM, Mirage, and Ling.

In the two hours I've spent with OSv, I've gotten much lighter weight VMs that boot my large scala app extremely quickly (a few seconds, max), with less configuration and more predictable performance.
Why not simply score the motherboard around the port to cut the traces? Epoxy sounds like such an inelegant solution. But I am a neat freak :)
Yep, I think you hit the nail on the head here. Facebook began with an expectation around an account tied to a real-life identity, and Google didn't. Google totally mis-read the cultural implications of integrating G+ into existing Google products.
Microsoft offers prizes at almost every one of these events for teams using Azure. If the team isn't especially invested in one platform or another, the prize availability will decide for them.
Nope. You just flipped one of your caveats: no internet connectivity.

I only specified networking.

Its also how Target was attacked. Their registers are networked yet there was a hole from the internet to their corporate net. That hole was through their HVAC control system.

The Tl;Dr. Is that you design a secure system, so that if one part fails, the whole system doesn't fall like a house of cards. Security through layers.

> is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I hate being passive-aggressive so I'll be directly aggresive here: this mentality is a way to say, "I don't want to revisit the operational aspects of my system because I don't like to do that work. Find someone else."

Like any aspect of your system, your ops and deploy components can rot. Pretending otherwise is outright ignoring a consistent lesson offered by those who came before and have failed over and over.

Docker offers to take over as a project many aspects of the system subject to bit-rot and make an explicit and consistent container abstraction for software to compose. While it has many features we do need (I agree wholeheartedly that it'd be great to parallelize layer creation, less so about secret exposure since the environment & volume tooling already can do that), it has also replaced whole categories of software and devops tooling with simple and extensible metaphors.
There's no need to say that at all. Just address the points and let everyone form their own opinions.
I once had to watch a trailer for a different movie in order to watch the trailer I wanted to watch. I think most people posting trailers disable ads, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I'd suspect Ancient Greece at least. I would not be surprised if a variation of it was sarcastically uttered within the first week of money encountering law.
Yes indeed. I'll trust Docker in production when I can go 6 months without hitting any weird bugs like that, or having to wipe out `/var/lib/docker` and restart the daemon to get it out of some inexplicable state.
> but the notion that C++ is horrible has been around for a long time

Yeah, "C++ is horrible" is as old as C++.

The exact basis has changed -- early on, it was that C++ did OOP poorly, even compared to other contemporary C-based efforts (notably, Objective-C). Now its more that OOP is the wrong solution.

Eh, there is the canvas, and WebAsm. They make for a full blown VM if you don't mind shipping a several MB large interpreter with your page.

Next step should be installing the interpreter on the browser, for everybody to use... Then we can create Flash all over again.

(Now, if somebody gets a way to do that full VM thing in a way that is compatible with the DOM, then we'll have some improvement.)
That's a good point. I can see a progression like: developer finds new feature X that solves problem Y, developer finds that feature X is only supported by 20% of customer browsers, developer adds polyfill in XXX kB, buggy javascript library with other performance-related side-effects.

Maybe the issue is just educating web developers about what's available, and the non-obvious side-effects using feature X.

Here's what I'd like to see: organize a site like caniuse not by feature, but by tiers of support in the entire population of installed browsers. Something like:

Supported by 99.99% of user-agents: image tags, ...
Supported by 95% of user-agents: XHR, ...

(I'm making those numbers up).
The web has no meaningful UI. The entire window is just styled elements.

UI is not always about respecting the OS's guidelines/theme. Firefox, for example pretty much ignores everything since their Australis UI update and it is fine.
The background animation is beautiful though I'm not a fan of scroll hijacking.
"There are some problems with your approach, and it could bite you in the tail when you least expect it. Here's what you should also know: ... (rest of GP's points)"

Because opinions are not the same as facts/best practices (nor is everyone's opinion equal).

If you want to argue "this is the right way", be prepared to bring data and defend your statements.

At my work we use HAProxy, gunicorn/Flask (web apps and APIs) and a PostgreSQL container for development - we aren't planning to migrate the production databases to Docker anytime soon). We are using CoreOS for the host servers, dumping logs to logstash, and connect the containers via HAProxy. The big advantages we have seen are that it's easier to ensure consistency between development/qa/production, our deployment process is cleaner (basically docker pull container:latest, docker rm old-container, and docker create container:latest), and it's easier to resolve the few issues we have had (usually just a deploy vs tinkering on a live server). Our attitude has been to only use Docker for the parts of our stack that make sense (web apps and not production databases). It's been 8 months since we migrated and we haven't had any trouble yet.
A few weeks ago I was sitting 6 feet from the edge of a community pool while many parents and their children were swimming. Out of nowhere one of the lifeguards on the opposite end blows her whistle, jumps in and swims frantically across the pool to rescue a drowning boy 3 feet away from his mother. She was literally looking at him and didn't recognize he was drowning.

The mother and child were only about 10 feet from me and even I didn't recognize it, and I was a lifeguard 15 years ago! That experience frightened me more than most because it showed me how bad I and others are at recognizing drowning.

Glad that this exists so more people understand what drowning really looks like.
I agree in general, but in many parts of Italy they generally fry everything in extra virgin olive oil.

Valgrind will tell you about reading that 100th uninitialized byte.
Regarding quick oscillators, compare Marvin Minsky's method for circles by shifts only:

«Here is an elegant way to draw almost circles on a point-plotting display:

NEW X = OLD X – epsilon * OLD Y

NEW Y = OLD Y + epsilon * NEW(!) X

This makes a very round ellipse centered at the origin with its size determined by the initial point. epsilon determines the angular velocity of the circulating point, and slightly affects the eccentricity. If epsilon is a power of 2, then we don't even need multiplication, let alone square roots, sines, and cosines! The "circle" will be perfectly stable because the points soon become periodic.

The circle algorithm was invented by mistake when I tried to save one register in a display hack! Ben Gurley had an amazing display hack using only about six or seven instructions, and it was a great wonder. But it was basically line-oriented. It occurred to me that it would be exciting to have curves, and I was trying to get a curve display hack with minimal instructions.»

("Item 149 (Minsky): Circle Algorithm" in HAKMEM, Programming Hacks. MIT AI Memo 239, Feb. 29, 1972)

Remarkably, this approach was also used for sine and cosine computations in the Sinclair Scientific pocket calculator (1974): http://files.righto.com/calculator/sinclair_scientific_simul...

For a fun application using oscillators based on this algorithm see the "Minskytron" (by Marvin Minsky, early 1960s), http://www.masswerk.at/minskytron/
It's also very common in older ISAs, especially DSPs. As pointed out elsewhere, it's common in VLIWs (which is generally "older" ISAs).

A good example is the Motorola 56K DSP family. Instructions are 24 bit wide (24 bit wide memory!). They come in a few formats, which can be broken down into two major types: complex instruction, or simple instruction plus up to 2 memory moves and address updates.

It's basically designed around performing a single-cycle 24x24->56b multiple-accumulate with two memory reads and address increments, with zero loop overhead. The rest of the ISA really, really suffers for it :) But it's impressive when it's doing exactly what it was designed to do! It's a great example of a domain-specific ISA.

Also worth noting that in 56K, there is no score-boarding or other dependency tracking to automatically insert pipeline bubbles. That's the job of the hand-writer/assembler/compiler. If you get it wrong, it simply does something undefined. It's "fun" when this happen.
I disagree. It's all about "the evil you know".

And then there's the part where Weave is slow, so you might as well stick to VMs or hardware...
