This would be a very cheap way of representing cyberspace in a b-movie. It already looks massively better than the Matrix's falling green thingies.
There's a broad spectrum of opinions on this. Personally, I think that founders should draw enough of a salary to live on in the early days - that's going to differ from person to person, but I don't think it's reasonable to ask a startup founder to completely destroy their personal financial situation to extend runway an extra few months.

Once you get past Series A, I think you should be getting paid a fair salary based on your role and level of experience. You can work that out with the board.

As far as paying out equity holders, typically excess cash gets reinvested in the business, since many (most?) startups are optimized for growth rather than profitability. It is not uncommon, however, to have an executive bonus plan for achieving various revenue or other milestone objectives as the company grows.
It'd be nice if this had infinite scrolling.
(c) investigating bitcoin related crimes for a federal agency and selling access to your investigation back to the target
Every morning my dog wakes up full of energy, rushes down the stairs, and anxiously awaits as I get ready to take her on our morning walk. It's a good reminder on how to approach each day, even when I wake up tired and grumpy. Her days are all the same, walk, eat, nap, eat, walk, nap, eat, walk, sleep. If she can be excited about that, I can certainly appreciate the variety I get in my days and make the best of them.
What? You think humans are born fully socialized? Why wouldn't a baby be able to fit in?
I've been getting the feeling american journalism has been slacking off, isn't trustworthy lately.

Or just doesn't care, it could also be the revival of yellow journalism.
I don't know if I've gone under $30 for an Uber ride more than once. So yeah, I agree, I don't see how this becomes viable.
I think your theory might be a tad overly optimistic with regards to the character of these officers.

I think the amount of infrastructure they set up to execute the crime indicates complete understanding of the law. That is very different from committing a crime because one's adherence to social norms makes them think it isn't a "real crime".
Interestingly, that's not the kind of union that the OP has (disregarding the fact that LeBron James is underpaid because of union lobbying). So hypotheticals aren't useful. No one is really proposing any tech workers union that is like the one NBA players are in.

All proposals are the other kind. And none of them encode equal rights for immigrants in their bylaws.
Given that employees only stay for a couple years on average anyway these days

All 8 people on my team have been around longer than that. I've been there 8 years, and the other senior person has been around slightly longer. Our boss has been with the company for I think 17+ years. (And our old boss, who took the other half when the team got split in a reorg, has been with the company for 30+ years.)

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/tenure.nr0.htm says: """The median number of years that wage and salary workers had been with their current employer was 4.6 years in January 2014, unchanged from January 2012"""

"""In January 2014, median employee tenure (the point at which half of all workers had more tenure and half had less tenure) for men was 4.7 years, unchanged from January 2012. For women, median tenure in January 2014 was 4.5 years, about unchanged from January 2012. Among men, 30 percent of wage and salary workers had 10 years or more of tenure with their current employer, compared with 28 percent for women. (See tables 1 and 3.)"""
"No one should keep their coins in any wallet except their own"

That's just not going to fly if Bitcoin becomes mainstream. There's too much dogmatism around this in the Bitcoin community. Sometimes a hosted wallet is the right solution for a particular user.
Please don't do this here. Adding uncivil/unsubstantive comments to a difficult subject just makes things worse for everyone.

Fortunately this thread attracted a wealth of substantive original contributions in addition to some of the usual predictable stuff. I've enjoyed reading many of the comments, which is... not exactly typical for such subject matter.
I read a copy last week that I grabbed while in an airport. It had some good articles on China and its military capabilities, but then had a horribly written, pompous article about Google with factually incorrect information and exaggerations.

Very disappointing. What is happening to the Economist?
They didn't come back and bury those?

I have AT&T Fiber – the installer ran a line from the nearest fiber hut to my home (across several neighbors' yards and a storm water runoff/drainage area), and left it exposed. But a separate truck rolled through about a week later and microtrenched it, so it's buried all the way up to my house.
Because someone on the inside opened the door and let them in, it’s not “storming”? Those Twitter comments are all suggesting this was a setup, but the more likely scenario is that most of those that should be serving as police either were sympathetic to today’s right wing rhetoric or weren’t prepared for a mess of people. What were they supposed to do at the point of this video? Pull out their guns and escalate the situation?

People died anyway.
>Apple's business model boils down to selling mediocre hardware at premium prices

You don't want to qualify that statement to reflect the fact that Apple just become the clear leader in the market segment that cares about battery life, weight and computing performance?
The presentation machines at my workplace (in addition to being desktops in a locked cabinet, because why would they leave the room?) just allow you to remote desktop back to your real workstation or to a VM. They have nothing locally.

I think that's a good solution to avoiding over-granting privileges.
This article itself is marginally different from an ad. What's the point of this article? To inform, or to sway?
> If you build a system that is so technologically perfect that it extinguishes violence from the public space, then you have created a system of slavery.

I intuitively get the point you are trying to make (sovereignty, "government has a monopoly on violence," yadda yadda), but I don't think it reflects the real, both contemporary and historical, systems of slavery.

Chattel slavery in the antebellum South's relied on extrajudicial violence. International sex trafficking is inherently violent. Modern slavery most often occurs in areas with widespread, violent conflict. Why should we be worried about "benevolent AI overlords" going rogue when historically civilizations with high percentages of unfree people were extremely violent?
If I had to bet:

-- someone accidentally stored something

-- that thing is no big deal, perhaps technically a secret

-- people who get ahold of it and read it will make up conspiracy theories about it
Indeed, the hyperbole and conspiracy theories on all sides have lead me to detach myself from politics. There were a few hundred/thousand people who rioted at the Capitol, law enforcement in riot gear fought them with clubs and pepper spray, got overwhelmed, fell back, regrouped, and responded with a lot of force a couple hours later. One of the rioters was shot, dozens were arrested. Not a good scenario, but I've seen a lot of people who I had thought were more measured yelling about how police were assisting with an attempted coup attempt (even supposedly respected news stations were going off the deep end). It feels like the 24/7 news cycle has fried a lot of people's minds and turned everything into a final battle between good and evil.
He regretted going into the Capitol not getting caught.
The idea is to save all messages and have a good search option, so you'll only ever see the good posts when looking back into your history. No need to tag them beforehand.

"One argument is that XML is better than JSON for use cases like XHTML, where you heavily mix tags and content."

Yes, this is true. The point of using XML is when you have data where you know the structure of some parts, but not others. This is true of most things that begin life as prose, and then have some structure added to them later. It is a point between "bag of words" information retrieval, and SQL queries, that requires a different approach.

"I get the feeling XML wasn't really made for this case, though, it was made for the JSON-like case."

No, this is false. XML is awful for the JSON like case. What would make you think that XML was created for it?
No; however, they aren't on the reading list for potentially different reasons. This book (I have not read it) was on the reading list, but has now been stripped from the reading list because someone didn't like it and was vocal about this.

A very contrived example of a similar vein would be:
Cooking with a Microwave isn't on the reading list.
1984 isn't on the reading list because some bureaucrat didn't like how it portrayed the government.

Again, I have not read this book and know nothing of how it portrays individuals in it, except that some person didn't like this portrayal. I know nothing of the accuracy of the portrayal, the intention of the portrayal or anything like that. I am attempting to create two instances of a book "not being on the reading list" and their absence from it being due to two starkly different reasons. Any reading beyond that is a misunderstanding and a misrepresentation of what I said and attempted to say
Really banning it would be a more effective tool to make sure that more students read it.
This treatment was widely used to control epilepsy before the advent of effective seizure drugs. The extreme difficulty of maintaining this diet made drugs the preferred choice. It is still used for epilepsy that resists drug treatment and doesn't really fall under quackery.
Btw wtf is with TSA, mean how did it make its way here? What's hackish in it?

It's a common practice that if you have some hot social topic you come to the pub to talk it over. Not to spam every possible internet place with what's actually the buzz in your country.
This is the soppy romanticized garbage that is so boring to debate with.

Yes, if you want to talk to someone about 1970s era personal computer innovations, the Woz is almost certainly the goto guy. Granted.

Is he important? Sure, he is important to a certain era in Apple's history. The part before the company would have dissolved as an ongoing enterprise if it wasn't for some strategic rescuing by Microsoft.

Are his comments about pretty much anything in the modern era even insightful or of particular relevance, beyond "this guy worked on the Apple I" colour commentary? I don't think so. I suspect that the Woz's primary reason for appearing in Apple lines and giving "grate on Steve Jobs" quotes is so the reporter can bring up that he works for FusionIO.

But yeah, your Dyed in the Wool Woz fanclub membership card is in the mail.
If you not die of hungry or get crazy before, it's OK
I wouldn't mind the discussion if there were something more to it. This is, or should be, a community of driven and "tech-savvy" people. Maybe I'm not paying enough attention but I don't see any "Show HN: GropeStoryShare.com" or whatever.
I use GoDaddy mainly because of cost. Never really had a problem with them.
There's this odd idea that all business models must be protected by the government. I think back to when the American Medical Association went to Congress to protest spending money on social welfare; things like providing uncontaminated milk for the poor, and the other practices that Sara Josephine Baker put into place which cut the infant mortality rate in New York City by 40%. For example, "a petition was signed by more than 30 Brooklyn physicians and sent to the mayor demanding that the bureau be abolished because "it was ruining medical practice by its results in keeping babies well"."

Taking business from doctors by reducing the number of sick babies = theft!
Here is the real problem with desktop Linux: nobody wants to take the only thing that Linux is good at, and make it better. I'm talking about hackability. Ubuntu and similar systems make it worse. There is too much ugly, incomprehensible and plain unedifying kludge between the neat Unix core and the whatever shiny crap is in fashion this year. If a minimal distro is a pool with no shallow end, then Ubuntu is a pool with a shallow end, and barbed wire between it and the deep end. It's hard to make a pool with a shallow end that gradually gets deeper, but as far as I know, nobody is even trying.

Not every potential user is an idiot. There are plenty of people who would learn, if the learning process felt more like lifting weights and less like having drain cleaner poured on your face.
Some micro pc that can run DD-WRT would probably be ideal.
Oh yes. And then there's "release" and "release-final" (because we started putting a few asserts into release after dropping "debug").

And then "release", "release-final", and "release-final-final" because marketing needed some functionality in "release-final" that was went on QA DVDs. :)
To me, e-readers are not about software.

Simply put, for me the Kindle 2 is good enough in the software department, and perfect in the hardware department. All that is left is refinements.

I find myself shaking my head every time someone trumpets a new e-reader or e-reader software. I'm probably a minority in this, but in my opinion none of them get it; the most important part of the e-reader is that e-ink display.

Books that are not pure text and require images and formatting are a different beast, but I would argue that segment of the book industry can be best addressed with a Kindle DX-esque device and color e-ink, whenever that comes about. Of course, they will never be able to fix the most difficult part of reference books. A pure text book is usually read linearly, front to back. Reference books are flipped through, bookmarking pages with dog-ears and fingers. Text search is amazing, but it doesn't make up for that quick-scan, easily-navigated ability of reference books.
Just read the ABI specs. A good start is the SysV ABI (refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/IA64-SysV-psABI.pdf), although it doesn't directly cover C++.

Then, the C++ ABI is defined here - specifically, the Itanium ABI draft, which is in fact used on most GCC-supported systems, as far as I know. The "Itanium": is a misnomer. http://www.codesourcery.com/public/cxx-abi/

The author compares police records, death certificates, and the historical record of well-known massacres to identify inconsistencies regionally and over time. (Looks pretty rough in Juarez.)
To me this just came across as whiny and petty. From my high school experience and the little time I spent in college, the hard-nosed professors who insisted on hard work and punctuality actually contribute more to their students' eventual success than the easy-going, "nice" ones. I strongly suspect this guy was more successful because of what he calls his 'mistreatment' than because of the few "nice" professors.

It basically boils down to a two things, I think:

1. They didn't allow the oil companies to call the shots. With this, they managed to avoid a lot of the corruption we see with MMS in the US.
2. Rather than spend the profits from oil, Norway invested it. So when oil production drops, they don't face a huge budget gap, they just have less to put into the investment fund. Granted, they need to start figuring out what will happen when oil production dries up completely, but they have quite some time before that becomes an issue.
Wow. The cops raided the victim's home in a burglary investigation? Way to completely miss the point, cops.
In the general case, this is true, but in the specific case, not so much.

While a threat doesn't actually do any harm to a person, it does ruin discourse.

Reason being that some people are more sensitive than others, and will not post things that they feel are controversial or personal since they feel they'll be challenged or threatened for it. Even if those threats are completely bunk and amount to nothing but trolling, the chilling effect on discourse is still there.
> They could detain him (and eventually charge) under different law

They might have, but they didn't. They chose to hold him under a terrorism law. Probably due to that law not allowing him to not answer questions.
Thanks for pointing that out. I see it now and the full text has been since added to the repository. I was looking at the source and only saw copyright!
I have heard so many people describing the same exact feelings as you, especially the "overwhelming positive and calm emotions" part. It's so fascinating!

It's almost certainly unrealistic to expect every publication to participate in a single all-you-can-eat digital subscription scheme--though music comes pretty close.
It’s strange that people are dismissing this judge as technically illiterate.

> Koh, 45, has become the de facto face of law in Silicon Valley. "She has an almost peerless reputation for fairness and efficiency in judging the issues of the 21st century," said Tracy Beth Mitrano, director of the Internet Culture, Policy and Law Program at Cornell University. "She gets the Internet in a way that other judges just don't," she said. "Our laws are so out of sync with current social norms and technology. What Koh represents is the hope that somebody gets it."

When fun and camaraderie happens naturally on a project, it's really amazing to be a part of. When an org tries to force "fun", it's awful.

I think you are dreaming of the first kind, and everyone against you in this thread is having nightmares about the second.

But I've also learned something about dealing with "corporate BS" -- if it's at least reasonably well intentioned, one can still decide to make the most of it instead of fighting everything and killing everyone else's motivation.
If this is true, why post a comment about one?
The first computer science degree offered in the US was in 1962. The first in the world was offered in 1953.
Oftentimes, intentionally using superfluous words, particularly obscure words, is important in building mood.

Lovecraft for instance. And Robert Howard (author of Conan).

And, the granddaddy of all: Thomas Carlyle whose “French Revolution” is packed with metaphor, simile, superfluous words, and convoluted sentences... indeed, he made fun of the way he writes in “Sartur Resartus” in a hilarious fashion.
I have never used a Java-based desktop that was not user-hostile and low-performance.

Surely this works both ways though? Remote workers always bring an implied expectation that their coworkers will do a certain amount of extra work in order to bridge the larger communication boundary. This means more documentation, more aggressive status tracking, more time spent on communication (zoom calls and slack simply aren't as high fidelity as in person communication - body language is important), more independent investigation as the activation energy of a remote call is higher, etc.

Now, many of those things are probably good for the business anyway, but they are nevertheless obligations that remote workers force on their colleagues in order to achieve that cleaner, "API-like" working relationship that remote workers often need to succeed independently.

It's even more stressful if some employees are gelling well and some aren't. Many remote workers feel they should be treated like contractors but given fuzzier expectations like salaried workers - I've seen this misalignment of expectations about culture destroy teams, and in an office culture transitioning from full time in office to partially remote, all of this is fundamentally caused by the "benefits" that the remote workers are receiving at the cost of their colleagues. It's absolutely not a win-win.
Based on your posts, I never would have guessed that you wanted to eliminate the rentier class, since everything you propose does little to eliminate their activity, and seems dedicated to maintaining their main source of profits: increased asset values.

In supply-constrained markets, asset appreciation far outpaces the revenue from rents. So if you charge taxes on vacant apartments, the asset owner may try harder to rent out the unit, but that just increases their profits even more.

When profits from asset appreciation eclipse rent revenues, establishing rent caps does little to eliminate rentier profits. Already, loans are predicated on rents not increasing above inflation, so rent caps do nothing to curb asset appreciation, especially as long as rental units can also be owned (for example single unit detached homes).

Limiting the number of properties that somebody can own does little to force "small landlordism," unless you also ban the ownership of property by LLCs or other organizations, which would also ban many better forms of ownership like co-ops.

The core problem is not the profits, even though that is problematic. Rentier profits just a symptom of the real problem: asset price appreciation due to exclusionary practices. That's what must be attacked head on, with socialization of land use so that when lots of people want to live in an area, they are allowed to, and anti democratic landowners are not allowed to exclude new people. Ironically, the pure landlords are less often against such proposals, it's the rentier homeowners that are often the ones who subvert society and in turn force profits to landlords. Though quite often, these exclusionary homeowners have become "small" landlords too, and doubly invested in keeping our new people to maximize their unearned profits.
