 Readers: please only email these addresses to discuss work opportunities. <comment> NYC-dev REVERSE JOB SEARCH: I will pay to work at your company

Location: NYC

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: open for discussion

Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React

Email: email@example.com

I am a coding bootcamp graduate who is having a hard time finding my first dev job.

PROBLEM:

Most internships want students who are in college (I'm not) and most junior positions want people with at least 2 years of experience. I'm looking for my first front-end development job.

ABOUT ME:

\- I changed careers from the medical field.

\- I graduated from a good coding bootcamp, so I know basic HTML, CSS, and JS.

\- I briefly helped a friend with a React / Redux app, so I know the fundamentals of React.

Because I've had a hard time finding my first job, I was thinking about going back to take more web development classes to build up my portfolio. The school I was looking into is about $10K and it lasts 7 months.

So instead of that, I wanted to see if there are any companies out there that I can pay who is willing to let me learn on the job. I know it's a rather crazy idea, but you never know, right?

JOB REQUIREMENTS:

\- I want to be treated like any other dev in the company (work with PMs, designers, other devs, and be assigned tasks).

\- I'm interested in front-end development particularly.

\- Since I have started learning React, I would prefer to work on a React app.

\- I would like to work with someone who is patient and is good at mentoring beginners.

\- The company should be located in NYC ideally (but open to remote if you think it can work).

\- The job should last full-time, 7 months at least (ideally).

\- Since I'm paying and the whole point is to learn on the job, I'd expect the interview process to be more lenient.

PAYMENT / "TUITION":

\- Up to $10K

Looking for a great team focused on building a product (or products) users love, with minimal red tape.

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm a full-stack analyst developer with over two decades of experience of a wide range of full life-cycle software projects.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET framework, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions that produce genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've built web, desktop, server and embedded software and am just as accomplished at designing and developing a single use website for a dozen local users as I am a global microservices infrastructure supporting millions. I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

\+ Successfully lead, developed and delivered complete greenfield and bespoke web site and back-end web platform for a leading UK children's charity, forming a core component of a complete brand refresh and redesign.

\+ Successfully lead project to develop industry leading anti-motor fraud website, web service, OLAP & OLTP system and data warehouse including one of Europe's largest anti-fraud databases for a Top 40 UK law firm.

\+ Successfully designed and delivered market-leading, best-of-breed corporate travel management web & desktop-based product suite for a company who, largely as a result of the technology, were later acquired in a multi-million pound deal.

Ask YC: Project Management? - <AUTHOR>

I never deliver any custom software that I develop on time. The clients never complain about the result, though. But they are unhappy because I miss the deadline.<p>Do you guys always meet your deadline? Any suggestions, advice, or pointers? Thanks! <comment><USER2> I work on DoD projects with varying project reporting requirements. There are many methodologies and processes one can follow. I've experiences success with Capability Maturity Model Integration and Agile (others here have mentioned agile too). There's an ongoing "meeting of the minds" of merging CMMI with Agile in the defense space.

For estimation, learning a bit of earned value management system (EVMS) can be useful. There is COCOMO II for estimation, but I don't think you need to go there for small projects.

A book I've found useful is "Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art" by Steve McConnell. Its helped me.

The secret sauce is to find that knife's edge balance of infrastructure (accountability and management) versus flexible productivity.

Then there is always the Scotty Principle.

</comment><comment><USER3> I have a similar problem. A lot of the time I merely find myself developing infrastructure instead of developing features. Part of the problem is writing in PHP without a framework (or, rather, a semblance of my own); a more significant part, I believe, is that I just really, really like building architecture. In that way, I'm probably being an architecture astronaut.

The key, as you've said already, is managing client expectations. At some point you must have given a timeline, given a prediction for how long you _thought_ something would take you. At some point you must also have deviated from that timeline/prediction; mine, as far as I've identified it to, is being an architecture astronaut. Hence, the first step, I think, is to narrow the problem down to those deviations, and question why you're deviating so. The deviations may even be something useful or necessary. Rather, figure out what is breaking, then step back and look at the whole picture to see what needs to change.

Agile might be the answer here. At the very least, there are several very good ideas you can steal from agile to build your own approach to engineering.

</comment><comment><USER4> Break each part of a project down to what you can do in one sitting. If any item on your list is longer than 8 hrs, you're probably going to miss it. Also, figure out how many of THOSE thing you can do in a week (unlikely to get 40 billable hours / week for me)

As a general rule, if I'm unsure of exactly how long something will take, I double it, and I'm usually very close, or over the high end. (I'm down currently to only adding 40% more time per each unsure item, which has been very close lately..not that I'm getting faster, I'm just getting better at estimating)

Plan time to make their edits (10-20% or more of the project, depending on the quality and robustness of the original spec).

Don't take on a project with a hard deadline you can't meet, you will make yourself crazy.

</comment><comment><USER5> Usually, but that is because I have learnt to...

a). add a little extra time to projects to buffer myself.

b). not take on projects I cannot do (beyond my skillset).

c). interact with clients regularly with updates so they are in the loop, know what is going on, and constantly happy.

<comment><USER6> Seconded.

On a): More than a little. Plan to be "90% done" by halfway through the schedule. Remember that "the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time". This is entirely true, and its due to unknowns. When this 90% at halfway approach becomes instinct, you will miss very few deadlines. This has become my internal Golden Rule for non-trivial projects.

On b): My business would never have launched if I didn't constantly stretch my skillset past what I thought I could do. But there is still a limit.

On c): Clients never like unexpected surprises. But they hate them even more if they appear late in the game. Keep expectations in line with reality.

<comment><USER5> on b): yes, but do you do it on client time? I try not to, as it causes uncertainty in deliverables, unless the client is happy with experimenting. I learn/expand in my own time on "fun" projects :)

<comment><USER2> In my experience, it is normal practice to factor time into the estimate (call it risk factor if you want) to push your skills. You factor a profit margin into your estimate right?

As long as the customer is satisfied with the overall quality, cost and timeliness of the product, you've met your obligations as a business. Why does the "profit" always have to be only cash? learned skills are a form of capital reinvestment that the customers pay for just like they pay you a profit margin to do the work.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER7> I've found that since moving to an agile approach with weekly/fortnightly deliverables, my estimates have become better and clients expectations are managed nicely. Clients can constantly see progress and can easily see how my time is going to be spent week-by-week. If new features are requested or problems hit, it's easy to communicate how that's going to effect the current timings and next deliverable.

<comment><AUTHOR> Thanks. I guess the key point is to manage clients expectations. Any reference about tools/formats that you use in reporting your progress?

<comment><USER8> One part of Agile that may help here is continual incremental delivery.

If you can deliver new functionality to your client each week, a little each time, then they should be happy to see progress, and each week you could re- evaluate how many weeks there are to go?

Just a thought.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER9> Extreme programming offers a number of tools to manage your projects. Some important points: imply the customer by giving him access to the project state and to let him change priorities whenever he wants, focus on completing and testing the most important use-cases ("stories"), frequent "micro-releases", do regular demoes and acceptance tests to avoid bad surprises and integration issues at the end.</comment>


Ask HN: Why did Google make Reader ugly? - <AUTHOR>

I'm a frequent Google Reader user (one of very few apps that get an app tab in Firefox)...
But what happened? I'd ask Google, but they don't particularly want user feed back.

Pricing Car Repairs, Before the Repairs - <AUTHOR> http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/11/pricing-out-car-repairs-before-the-repairs/?partner=rss&emc=rss

<comment><USER2> Anything that keeps mechanics honest is a great idea in my book. However, I think this misses the crux of the problem: diagnosis.

It's easy enough for me to call a mechanic or two to find out how much they would charge to replace my transmission, but how do I know that my car _actually needs_ a new transmission? My primary fear when going to the mechanic is that they'll claim that my car's problems are much more serious than they actually are, so they can charge me for the more expensive repair.

They can easily get away with this, because I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to second guess them. Oddly enough, the situation isn't much different with doctors and dentists. Every time my dentist decides to drill into my teeth, I can't help but wonder if they just see it as an opportunity to make a large sum of money.

If anything, the situation is worse in the medical industry. They almost never give price quotes up front. What's up with that? And there's basically no way of knowing how much your insurance will cover. Generally I just do what the doctor/dentist says and save my pennies while I wait for a huge, seemingly arbitrary bill to arrive in the mail. This system is obviously broken.

Now, one of you HN readers looking to start a company: go fix it! :)

<comment><USER3> I agree. What would prevent something like 20q.net? Compile a database of make/model/year, symptoms, and eventual repairs... People enter their car type then answer questions like "Did the car start? Yes/No/Sometimes?" "Does it make a grinding noise when you turn the key? Yes/No"... then using past results it tells you it's 85% likely to be the alternator, etc...

<comment><USER4> I used to work for a car manufacturer where we made such a diagnostic database for mechanics. At the end of all the decision trees was "hmm. call factory." Instead of following the suggestions, the mechanics routinely skipped to the bottom. Several dozen of my field trips to dealerships were resolved with a $2 part that they skipped over because reading was hard.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> This site is actually really interesting. I haven't brought my car to a mechanic since I was 18 and I'm 32 now. I've had to fix just about everything and doing a quick spot check on some of the work I've personally done in the past the site looks pretty accurate.

For example over the years I've replaced several water pumps on vehicles that I have owned. Most of the time it's pretty straight forward but on my 88 Toyota pickup the water pump was burried and I had to remove the timing belt to get at it. Long story short it took a lot longer then the other water pumps I've replaced in the past.

When I plugged it into RepairPal, they accurately reflected the difference in labor and as a result the price quoted to change the water pump on the yota was about 2x as much as the one that I replaced on a chevy.

</comment><comment><USER6> Dare we address the fact that anyone waving an iPhone in a mechanic's face has by almost by definition signalled that he has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to auto repair?

</comment><comment><USER7> Really interesting concept.

I'm curious how a mechanic would react when confronted with an iPhone that showed their estimate to be much higher than the "average."

<comment><AUTHOR> Yeah probably trouble for dishonest mechanics. But maybe an asset for legit ones? I think some customers feel they are being ripped off, even when they aren't. So this could be used positively by both sides.

<comment><USER8> I think it is an asset for legit ones. Just this morning my battery light came on, and when I went to the repair shop I was told I needed a new alternator, and it would cost $400. I thought that was high, but didn't have any data to back it up (and was stuck at the shop without a working car), so I went ahead with the repair. I initially felt like I was taken, but this site says a new alternator for my car should cost $400 - $600, so now I actually feel good about the purchase (and the garage).

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER9> Just a data point: I got an estimate for an alignment that I recently had done at a chain for $85 and they gave an estimate of $120 to $153.

What keeps the repair shops that they surveyed from giving them a higher price quote in an effort to skew their estimates?

</comment><comment><USER10> Many hackers would probably find car maintenance/repair a very satisfying hobby. I find working on cars/motorcycles to be very similar to writing applications, only with the added bonus of being tangible and real.

You don't necessarily have to do all of your own work (tools and time dependent), but once you learn how to do a lot of it, and have gotten your hands greasy enough, you can talk to mechanics intelligently and straight, and can tell BS when you hear it.

</comment><comment><USER11> So, when I bought my car I did research on the owners forums to find the common problems, tips, etc. I was impressed that this website already had those things nailed down in the "common problems" section.

I'm impressed, and made an account. The service cost estimation is slightly useful to me, but it's the other information they have (and future feature potential) that has me hooked.

</comment><comment><USER12> This is pretty useless since the price point can vary widely based on where you go to. You can go to a dealer, you can go to a national chain, you can go to a hole in the wall garage.

Ask HN: What's the best book/way to learn Scala? - <AUTHOR>

I intend to start hacking with Scala sometime in the near future.<p>Any pointers regarding how to best learn it? Any books you recommend I get and/or shy away from?<p>(Also note I have done almost no functional programming, so books that really teach how to think that way are also appreciated.) <comment><USER2> I have all the books currently out now on Scala and I think "Programming Scala" by Wampler and Payne is the best one for learning the language: [http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Scala-Scalability- Function...](http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Scala-Scalability-Functional- Objects/dp/0596155956/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273795120&sr=8-2)

Steer clear of the Artima book: its huge, out of date and not written particularly well.

<comment><USER3> I disagree with this to the point of saying that the Artima book is one of the most well written technical books I've ever read and the O'Reilly book is rather a mess. The Artima book is written by the creator of the language and while it is a couple of years old the information is still 95% relevant to the latest language changes.

I would recommend getting a copy of both of them, but you might want to check out the online version of the O'Reilly book before buying it:

<http://programming-scala.labs.oreilly.com/>

The Pragmatic Programmers book is not bad either, but it's only a short introduction to the language compared to the other two books mentioned.

All three books have nearly identical titles: Programming (in) Scala

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> I've read most of the OReilly, Artima and Pragmatic books, and read Pollak's book a long time ago (you can read 1/2(?) on google books).

The Pragmatic book is a _very_ gentle intro which makes the type and object systems seem like a ruby- or python-learning exercise. It's not. The Oreilly has the most comprehensive info, and is also quite blunt about 2.7's shortcomings (the animal-trap icons). It's a very dense read but I think it's definitely on the path of least resistance (i.e. not reading it will make learning the language more difficult. Course there's no reason not to read it free, online.

The Artima book, IMHO is really a nice introduction, explains clearly but keeps going at a good pace. It's just a lot to read. The Artima book is also one of the only well-indexed software books I've ever countered, kudo's to authors and production people for that, that's a huge time-saver.

</comment><comment><USER5> No matter what book you read - the Scala syntax will be your biggest problem. I finally 'got it' when I realized or rather made room for the fact that Scala has two sets of syntax - one for OOP and another for functional programming. And it seamlessly mixes the two styles - this creates a lot of confusion for the first time scala programmer. It also makes it diffcult to maintain code within a team of programmers using Scala unless they come to some agreement on style.

On a side note - Scala is not my fav. JVM language because, personally, its in the same class as Perl and C++. Where syntax is concerned Clojure is much cleaner.</comment>

We Regulate the Wrong Things - <AUTHOR> https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/10/31/we-regulate-the-wrong-things <comment><USER2> > "It's too tall" is a common refrain in public hearings to approve new > construction, but I'm honestly puzzled by the obsession with the notion of a > building's height as a measure of compatibility with its surroundings.

That is true, height is often a bad proxy for some other quality you're looking for and which could be solved in original ways besides height e.g. in the north east you'd want enough light to reach the street and avoid gloomy alleys, besides height you could manage it by removing wedges of the building (from a basic cuboid shape), or having a front courtyard or a large atrium, or yes height. Height also becomes a factor of the street width, narrower streets would tend to get shorter buildings.

Furthermore regulating height can be counter-productive: while you want to avoid excessive shade in the north-east, in the south-west you want to do the exact opposite, much like cities of northern africa or the middle east, for an arizonan or texan city to be walkable it needs shade and air flow rather than light: you need buildings tall enough that they protect pedestrians from the sun (without falling into gloom), but you also want them to guide and amplify the slightest breeze.

Many places segregate by _maximum nuisance_ rather than specific land use: plots are give an maximum nuisance level, and businesses are charted according to the expected nuisance they produce. Anything below the plot's MNL is allowed and thus your small corner shop or barbershop (low-nuisance businesses) can live in a "residential" area, but a nightclub or a machine shop probably can't.

This is actually why Manhattan's older buildings look the way they do, with a distinctive 'cake tower' look, but the actual fight for sunlight has been a lot more complicated: [https://www.citylab.com/equity/2016/12/how-the-battle- for-su...](https://www.citylab.com/equity/2016/12/how-the-battle-for-sunlight- shaped-new-york-city/510917/)

Most Americans these days live in suburbs, and I can't really think of many that don't adopt rigid single-use zoning.

<comment><USER4> >> The biggest factor that predicts walkability is the presence of actual destinations in walking distance of where people live.

Refrigeration. In days past people needed to make regular trips to buy food. We needed lots of stores, butchers, bakers and such within walking distance. (Think a metal shop is a nuisance? Imagine living downwind of an open-air butcher's yard.) Today, largely thanks to refrigeration, we can purchase larger volumes and keep them safely in our homes. So we don't need to go to the store every day, and when we do we purchase more than we can easily carry. This isn't a bad thing. It has freed up countless man-hours increased our dietary options. Not every urbanization problem is about cars.

<comment><USER5> I actually hate the fact that in USA you can only shop for groceries in a supermarket that is 5 miles away.

Problem with that is that if you happen to run out of milk,or salt, etc., you have to plan the whole trip, instead just quickly coming downstairs and buying it in the grocery store that is in the same building as your apartment.

Another problem is that instead of buying fresh bread everyday in your local bakery you have to buy this packaged, loaded with chemical conservants shit that supermarkets sell.

Grocery store within walking distance should be considered a human right :)

<comment><USER6> In normal American suburban traffic, 5 miles is only 7 minutes. A typical person can walk only 1900 feet in that time.

Getting that for everybody would pretty much require paving America with supermarkets. Consider the sizes of some supermarkets near me, roughly estimated in feet: 250x200, 250x250, 250x300. All of these have lots that are nearly 1000x1000, though shared with other stores.

So for walking to be equally fast, ignoring the need to carry groceries, we'd need 50% of the land to be supermarkets.

The benefit of the normal supermarket gets even bigger if there are people in the household who can't reasonably walk to a store on their own. Kids need to be watched. Elderly and obese people have trouble carrying groceries for 1900 feet. Shopping would mean taking trips all day long, one for each bag of groceries, so 1900 feet is really way too far. Cut that down to compensate though, and then there physically isn't enough room for all the required supermarkets!

<comment><USER7> 7 minutes is disingenuous when you consider the time spent getting into your car at one end, finding a park at the other, walking between the car park and the shop, navigating the (large) shop and waiting at a checkout. All these things are simpler and quicker if you can pop out, walk a few blocks to a (much smaller) corner store and grab the things you need.

For me walking a 2.5km round trip to my nearest local store vs driving the 8km return to my supermarket both take about half an hour if I'm grabbing a couple of things.

In terms of space - no one is suggesting these grocery stores should be the same size as a supermarket - if they are less centralised they need to hold less stock and can be smaller. If you can walk there, you don't need enormous car parks.

It may not be as ~efficient~ but it sure makes for a nicer existence.

<comment><USER6> I used the 5-mile example, but usually it is less. Parking is plentiful right at the door of the supermarket; there is no need to find it.

I've never seen a good answer for how walking is supposed to work for the less-able-bodied. My knee isn't getting better with age.

It's odd to even think of a grocery store that isn't a supermarket. I guess that would be like a Wawa, 7-11, Circle-K, or Walgreens. Those exist in suburbia, but they are nothing like what I expect for normal food shopping.

I can count on being able to buy artichokes, fresh and frozen whole turkey, fresh and dried apricots, asparagus, Bartlett pears, frozen rabbit, fresh cilantro, fresh and dried figs, bean sprouts, and alfalfa sprouts. I can almost count on quinces, dragonfruit (pitaya), and fresh beef heart. Other people can count on what they like, somehow choosing Muenster and rice cakes and tofu.

<comment><USER7> My examples were less than 5 miles, too. 2.5mi each way to drive vs 0.8mi each way to walk.

I like having both options - I stop at the supermarket on my way home from work for a bigger shop. But when I just need one thing it's great to be able to walk and get it.

Plentiful parking is available at my supermarket door too - but it's a different experience. The need to navigate other cars, the busy intersections which inevitably exist around shopping centres, the larger store with more people - it all creates a larger and more frustrating/stressful experience than a quick walk in the sunshine when I only need a couple of things.

None of those products seem extraordinary for a small grocery store to stock they all sound like staples of any shop - especially the fresh food. If they don't exist in your local stores then that is of course an issue - but it is an issue by design where you live.

I imagine part of the cost if that to achieve the kind of stock levels I have you need a certain population density (I live on the urban/suburban fringe of my city) - and if you live in the suburbs with everyone on a 600m2 block then of course it will be difficult to maintain fresh stock and a large enough customer base. But this article is talking about making cities walkable areas so it doesn't really apply to suburbs anyway.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER8> It's sad but some people are so immensely lazy, they'd rather circle the block in an SUV 10 times than walk 5 steps. So, when such people are asked to produce regulations: the results are predictable.

<comment><USER9> Not sure the regulators are part of the group you describe. That sounds more like teenagers.

<comment><USER10> Plenty of adults do it too. I'm reminded of this every time I go shopping with someone who objects that I did not find a closer parking space. And I have to point out that it would take more time and fuel to go to the closer space than it would be to walk from where I parked to that space.

These are just people who don't walk enough outside to know how long it takes to walk places. They're trying to maximize efficiency in a rather horrible way.

<comment><USER9> Oh that is a whole another issue. Which is nonetheless true.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER11> We shouldn't forget aesthetic and culture.

Those things 'don't compute' into our secular views of productivity and equations ... but they are essential.

All the little mouldings, trimmings, foliage, gardens, window sills, the brick, the cobblestone, the dishes, the wine.

And I would add 'local people'. Expats and immigrants are good folk, but when everyone is a transplant, there's no rooted culture, and there's something missing. Nobody can agree on what should be what, and you end up with bland everything. Take for example many European cities have strong limits on building height etc. because to the locals, it's imperative, but in the new world, it's generally the opposite. The land in Stockholm is worth a lot, economically, it would make sense to just bulldoze everything and put up skyscrapers. Thank goodness that won't happen.

<comment><USER12> In my experience places in the US that have strict aesthetic zoning rules end up with bland cookie-cutter buildings that look like a disneyfied facsimile of the aesthetic they are are trying to enforce. I don't know if the problem is in the details of their regulations or if the entire idea fundamentally failed, but I'll take unregulated variety over forced aesthetics anyday.

<comment><USER11> "but I'll take unregulated variety over forced aesthetics anyday"

I doubt it really.

The 'enforced aesthetic' in North American regions generally are very poorly conceived in the first place and are usually utilitarian, not actually aesthetic.

Typically 'forced aesthetic' only happens in places wherein there is a strong and obvious history in the area.

Vienna, Stockholm, Zurich as easy and obvious examples.

This 'forced aesthetic' is also culturally impinged, meaning that it's kind of what people would do anyhow.

Would you seriously consider knocking down and old building in Zurich and putting up a McMansion? I doubt it.

It might be an impossible thing to do from scratch, wherein there are no obvious references either. A 'new development' in Switzerland could easily have it. A suburb of Chicago ... probably not.

It would take an enormous degree of thoughtfulness and careful consideration to do in most places in North America, but it might be possible, particularly in places like New England. I could see a village in Maine saying 'no new development within the township unless it meets colonial era criteria' or something like that.

Without it, you get a deluge a true kind of blandness of hyper mediocrity. A lack of critical mass around cultural ideals, meaning corporate developments rule: a shopping mall on every corner.

Every city council and local government official wants to 'increase the GDP', and a few new Wallmarts and a 'Starbucks on Every Corner of our Community' would do just that - so it takes quite a lot of cultural momentum to keep those things in check.

And I'm just scratching the surface: how we design our living spaces goes a long way to defining who we are as a people as well.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER13> The one thing that this seems to miss, and for me what defines the "character" of a neighborhood as "walkable" or not, is how much of the space between buildings is for people vs. for cars.

So many of the photos here have skinny sidewalks for people and fat roads for cars, and a space like that is never going to be full of people -- the sidewalk is a place "to get from here to there", not a place to be.

Probably the best rule of thumb I've found is "Would I jaywalk here"? If an area is people-first, you have a lot of pedestrian traffic, little car traffic (because folks drive alternate routes), and what traffic there is travels at low speed. For car-first areas, it's a losing game of Frogger.

<comment><USER14> Totally agreed. Even in Manhattan, where pedestrians vastly outnumber motorists, way more space is given over to driving and parking lanes than to sidewalk lanes. There are entire areas of the city that are known for severe sidewalk overcrowding during every single rush hour.

Many European cities do a much better job of giving space to people instead of cars. We should do a better job of it here too.

<comment><USER13> Yep — I'm a Manhattanite as well. It's telling that when you intersect pedestrian-friendly with transit accessibility you end up with a list of the most expensive places to live in the US, even when the housing stock is mostly shit.

<comment><USER15> AKA, you end up with one of the most desirable living locations in the world and people are willing to pay a fortune to live there.

</comment><comment><USER17> I'm pretty sure that having no zoning regulations in addition to allowing business and residence in the same building would improve a lot. Who doesn't want to live above a grocery store?

<comment><USER18> Mixed use is precisely what zoning regulations are pushing for these days. If there were no zoning laws developers would only build whatever makes them the most money (from what I gather this may be mini-storage in all honesty). Edit: also elder care. I see developers do all sorts of less than honest things to win the approval to make an elder care facility.

<comment><USER19> I used to live in a new mixed-use development. The builders built as much of the residential parts as the county would allow, and then basically quit. It's been the better part of a decade now and the place still doesn't include a single office or retail unit. A huge chunk of land just sits empty. I'm certain that if the county stepped out and allowed the developers do what they wanted, that land would instantly be filled with even more residential units and that would be it. (And given the demand for housing, that may not be a bad thing, but the result isn't mixed-use.)

<comment><USER18> That is definitely true. I work on the infrastructure/engineering side of municipal government but I have worked on the private side in companies that also do land planning. Developers always promise anything the city wants in order to get approval for a tentative map, then phase the construction. Phase 1 residential goes in and gets certificate of occupancy, next day "phase 1 went way over budget, we just cant do it right now." Not all developments go this way but a lot do. I am always very careful to structure conditions in such a way that they at are obliged to construct all public infrastructure and as much of the development as I possibly can prior to giving them public works signoff.

<comment><USER20> >>Phase 1 residential goes in and gets certificate of occupancy, next day "phase 1 went way over budget, we just cant do it right now." Not all developments go this way but a lot do.

Sounds like a great reason to blacklist that developer for, say, 5 years.

<comment><USER22> I have read a bunch of things from this website and they have some really great ideas. They aren't even that radical, just really well thought out.

</comment></comment><comment><USER23> We regulate everything.

</comment><comment><USER24> People circle the block in there SUV 10 times, rather than walking, is because there main stream fear media is reminding them all the time that they are at risk of being knifed, or shot or beaten by random criminals all the time. And if there are police patrolling the streets, they are also likely to get harassed and questioned, or even suicided by cop. Sheesh, even security guards have the right to kill you with a choke hold. Drive your SUV to the end of the street, it's safer.

<comment><USER25> Where in the USA do people think like this? I don't know anyone who does.

<comment><USER26> Most people I've been around think like this. So in Lynchburg and the very western suburban part of Richmond Virginia at least they do.

Younger people who aren't in (have graduated) college seem to be a little more reasonable.

<comment><USER27> I'm not sure if you have a very strange friend group, but I've never heard someone express a similar opinion.

<comment><USER26> I definitely do, it's not really a location thing.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER28> Central planning is awesome! Everyone should be regulated to build things which are good in my opinion!

<comment><USER29> I feel like your sarcasm is missing the point. Nobody really believes that regulations are all good or all bad. There are, however, more or less effective regulations. Trying to find effective regulations like what Strong Towns are doing, is a good thing!

<comment><USER28> The point of my sarcasm is different: the word "effective" implies that some goal is being achieved. Who sets the goal? Why do they have the authority to tell people what to do on their property?</comment></comment></comment>


Who are all these successful companies developing this great software in India? - <AUTHOR>

I've read all the same blog posts as everybody else, read all the end-of-the-world-is-nigh newspaper columns telling us how the high tech, software-development jobs are being outsourced to India. So my question is, where are all these great products designed by Indian developers? Honest to God, I want to know. Why is Y-Combinator not relocating to Bangalore? Why is this news site and the JOS boards not populated by hot shot Indian developers?<p>I would really, honest-to-God, love to see someone start naming names, and naming products. Where is all this great Indian software? Is it real? Are these guys just shy? Or is it all a media fantasy, like so much of the online world these days? <comment><USER2> Zoho.com has been quite impressive in executing on a strong vision and taking on Silicon Valley directly.</comment>


Twitter down - <AUTHOR> http://twitter.com <comment><USER2> Some idiot moderator is censoring Twitter is down stories from the front page. Probably the biggest tech story of the morning.

<comment><USER3> I agree. I think it's fine when it's less than 30 minutes, but this is a significant bit of downtime.

<comment><USER4> ...and considering the epic failure message.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> I thought it was interesting that it was down in a way that I was receiving raw ERB.

(At least, I think it's erb; twitter still uses rails for the front-end, I think.)

</comment><comment><USER6> Yeah, and with a pretty epic error message: <http://cl.ly/image/0e423k050x1T>

</comment><comment><USER7> <http://i.imgur.com/RWugz.png>

<comment><USER8> Their API is also down... maybe a cascading effect (probably from API to frontend, but maybe a lower level failure)?

</comment></comment><comment><USER9> How much you wanna bet it has something to do with Mountain Lion?</comment>
