Several big name tech companies are against net neutrality rules: Intel, Qualcomm, Cisco, IBM, Juniper Networks, Corning, Panasonic, dLink, Broadcom, Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, among many other notable tech companies.

It's ignorant to assume only those who support this bill benefit from political contributions. It almost seems as if the people who are most knowledgeable about networks (ie companies that actually build the darn thing) are against net neutrality rules.
The Petrodollar standard set by Nixon helps for sure.
The two Olds papers both use clever triple difference designs (e.g. you're using change in entrepreneurship amongst those who've just become eligible for food stamps in one state relative to those who were already eligible as the treatment group, and the change in entrepreneurship amongst those same types of people in another state that didn't have a change in eligibility laws as the control group) which are hard to find fault in. It seems like a lot of people are arguing "other countries have strong welfare states, but less entrepreneurship", but that's a different question - most of the papers cited are arguing that in the United States, a strengthening of the welfare state leads to increased entrepreneurship. That does not mean that this would be true in other countries, nor that moving to a proper guaranteed minimum income would increase entrepreneurship, nor that entrepreneurship is the best measure of dynamism in the economy. But it is pretty convincing evidence that giving potential entrepreneurs the ability to fail at starting a business without too severe of consequences increases the rate at which they'll start businesses.
If it's a trade off, the question is, what are we trading?

This thread so far has been entirely about what's the "right amount" of crime to prevent. But if you ask the police how much crime they should prevent and solve, the answer will be "all of it." That's their mission, after all.

The police understand how this technology can help them do that. You say 30 days will help solve more crime than 24 hours. Well, they'll say "forever" will solve even more crime than 30 days. End of discussion?

If the subject is "preventing crime," the privacy argument is already lost. So what is the counterbalance?

There has to be a reason we would make it harder for police to do their jobs. What is that reason? To me, that's the hard question, but a lot of people here on HN seem to take it for granted that there is an answer.
French don't even have a word for 'enrepreneur.'
The other question is what percentage of the time a camera in the cockpit actually adds useful information beyond the conversations and control positions already being recorded?

A camera is pretty trivially disabled or obstructed in the event of foul play; the exception to the rule of communications and black box data being enough to establish what the pilots were trying to do.
Great news!
One question: since FB just announced React+Parse, I wonder how's support for Parse in React Native? Or put it a better way, if I want to write an multi-platform app based on Parse, should I consider using React Native? or it's still better to developer separate apps for each platform to get the best of Parse (especially for features like push notification)?
Oh, I'm just saying that the 50s were "the glory days" because there was no shortage of jobs, relatively low inflation (IIRC?), high housing demand, etc. College degrees (up until maybe as late as the early 90s) used to guarantee you a good job, and student debt was far lower, and overall there are many factors that you can't necessarily correlate directly to economic policy (IMHO). A lot of our jobs are going overseas (but they are jobs we don't particularly want, I suppose). That goes as well for current economic policy I think - for example, we see a lot of growth in Silicon Valley even though California is no haven for businesses (albeit many of those get registered in Nevada).
I'd actually like something more like thunderbird/gmail for multiple accounts, where the storage/client is mine, but the imap accounts it connects to are on other services, with multiple account support...
The Apache version is:

> If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

This seems equivalent to me, is the Facebook one broader?
I don't have a screenshot handy, but I definitely got this error last year when I tried to open a picture of some bank notes in Photoshop. GIMP had no such qualms :-)
I think there's an interesting opportunity here to replace logos rather than simply blur them. For example, you could replace the logo with:

- the name of the brand in plain text

- the parent company of the brand

- the parent company's stock symbol, market cap, and percentage change in the last week

- political campaigns the parent company has contributed to recently

- consumer reports / better business bureau ratings for the brand / company
Constraints != interruptions.
Good idea, but make the workdays of everyday shorter so you still get same amount of hours of work done each day. I much prefer this method since whatever you were working on is still fresh in your head.
Collocated: A wall, some blue tape, sticky notes, index cards, and flip chart paper.

apparently people can tell what she means.

Nope, but I think this change might call for someone to write an open thank you letter to Google.
Sadly Safari 5 inhibits SafariTabs which is a SIMBL based plugin (http://stuconnolly.com/projects/safaritabs/).

Any idea on how a similar feature can be made available on Safari 5 (which I love for his "reader" feature).

There's real multitasking for Native apps (since 1.0) and
a limited multitasking for 3rd party apps (since 4.0)

Edit: Downvoted? Am I wrong? Just curious
30% is a big number.
Reducing number of silient carriers would be great.

I am also wondering if, in general, our societies would benefit from a periodic self-quarantine, as a prophylactic measure.

I guess, if, after this pandemic is over -- we see fewer cases of H1N1 and other upper-respiratory transmittable viruses -- we could conclude that periodic, world-wide self quarantine should be written into laws of public health.

May be every 5 years or so, for 1.5 months stop all non-essential travel, work commute, public gatherings and so on.

Do not know if the above idea has any historical precedent, but, clearly our world has developed into very inter-connected, redundant, essentially unbreakable pathogen re-transmission network. So we need to respond to this.
Yes, that's a common belief, but what's really freeing up your mind to think and type simultaneously is the muscle memory, which doesn't actually require touch-typing.

It's similar for players of instruments. Proper posture and hand position will greatly help in playing the more difficult passages, but it's the muscle memory that allows you to play without thinking (regardless of posture or hand position).

While hand position does matter for playing an instrument well, it's far less important on a keyboard you spend 10% of your time typing on.
> It's as if google owns a newspaper store, that they allow any person to just browse for free. In a real world newsagents you'd be told to buy or GTFO because the newsagent makes money from selling the papers. But because google already made their money, they sell the land, they gleefully give it away for free.

I've never tried this at a newsagent, but on multiple visits to bookstores I've just read different books without a transaction.

Newsagents do have the power to tell google to GTFO by editing their robots.txt though
that's really clever... too bad I can't afford a TLD
It's possible to rotate all this.

"Princess" is a great job to have. It's 100% monarchical privilege and zero responsibility. There's nothing disempowering about it. The shiny "baubles" are symbolic gemstones. A little girl drawn to "being a princess" is like a little boy drawn to "being a rich guy" with a monocle and a top-hat.

(We have even met the man that little boy grows into: Donald Trump.)

Behold I have just set up a totally different complex of associations.
"For me (EU) [..]"

You are probably not the right person to ask then, but I always wondered: How prevalent are these consent popups outside of the EU?
People. Just. Delete. Your. Cookies. Regularly.
I am baffled about the crazy amount of debate and technical solutions to a problem that was solved the moment Cookies were invented. In the 1990s I suppose.
Why Canonical? Isn't this a Microsoft feature?
After being required to get the vaccination in order to receive hospital treatment. I'm still told that I have to quarantine wear a mask and try to be as safe as possible which tells me that the vaccine didn't do jack and nobody has confidence in it.
A shame to see this downvoted. I presume its because of the "Very few people are capable of this" bit?

I can't stress this point enough. Learn to write product plans. Documentation that delights people being onboarded to new systems is always appreciated, often by yourself months -- or years -- later. Well written bug reports, feature request, and such can easily cut developer turn-around time in half.

And to add one more thing: humility. Be the type of person nobody >needs< to listen to because they can so clearly follow you by example.

It's seems like qualifying exams seem to mirror tech interviews in structure and purpose.
I think it's fair. For me, the penalties and rewards you talk about are outweighed by some countervailing factors outside the realm of career development. Even if your current team isn't honest, the ultimate structure of integrity is your very own.
Your first option is way more devious than anything I had imagined, that's true, but I'm not convinced it would warrant toe to toe nuclear combat with the Ruskies, to quote Dr. Strangelove (or rather Major Kong in that movie). I'd expect something along the line of strict economic embargo, with all sorts of shady people making a lucrative business out of it.

Coding a good solution is necessary but not sufficient to pass an interview. Maybe you asked too many questions or not enough, maybe you solved the problem too slowly. Interviewers for better or worse look for specific signals that clue them into your being a good coworker. It's why even if you're a good programmer you may need to apply multiple times before the right set of interviewers grant you admission into their club.
> It seems all this tool does is some kind of version matching (i.e. "a CVE has been reported for version x.y.z of software A, so a server running x.y.z is vulnerable"). This is a poor proxy for the actual existence of a vulnerability

It sounds as though it's illustrative of a problem with either the index the scanner software is referring to or the update methodology the distro relies on. Debian don't really fix the software without incrementing the version number in some fashion, do they?
This was the most compelling explanation of the visuals. They are saying that Telsa put function radically over form to reduce manufacturing complexity and efficiency. This is a purely utilitarian approach that is not self-evident.

I hope Telsa will put together a better presentation to explain this to the public. This is the sort of technical progress you'd like to see in other domains.
Huh. Claiming that there are no valid outer narrative is postmodern.
What are some other solutions for securing the network connections between computer and printer?

Are there any good and reasonably-inexpensive network-enabled printers with e.g. LetsEncrypt SSL/TLS certs and SSO/LDAP/AD/WebID/DID authentication and authorization support in actively maintained firmware?

Could Cloud Print support (with private servers) just be merged into CUPS now?
OTOH, the SSR had a foot bed? Its not like it was just a great truck that looked bad, it wasn't actually a good truck.
Beyond the camper, like the other person said, it won't function for contractors. Drywall and plywood are sold in standardized 4'x8' sheets, which won't fit in the bed of this thing.
Ah damn, I know what you mean..!
Next time maybe ;)
I thought that service was part of the Google Enterprise suite (i.e. a paid service)
The more I look at it the more I like it.

Even if you don't like it you have to applaud the vision here. The vast majority of car companies are too afraid of getting out of the conformist design taste of the majority of people.
There are far more restrictions on dollars if you want to transfer them electronically, because ultimately you need to route them through large financial institutions.
Registrations, of course.
It has been an interesting few months looking at Scott Adams. I think he has been failing at presenting a PR facade to the internet and has actually been saying his thoughts and feelings. It is refreshing to see a real person, who is imperfect, who harbors opinions I think crazy mixed with those I think intelligent. It reminds me of learning about Orison Scott Card's political views after reading and loving his books, but I think Scoot Adams is a lot less crazy and more real of a person.

Welcome internet, to a real person, who normally you like, but occasionally does things you do not. This is normal. I know you have been spoon fed PR facades of people for most of your lives when consuming media, welcome to a brave new world. I like it.
Ugh, try to double-click to highlight text on his blog. Some terrible 'helper' sharing app by meebo.
Possibly. But there might also be people that dont put work above all, still enjoy what they are doing and keep going on with it when it makes them happy.

I do not think he would still be doing it after 9 years if he would totally hate it. I know people that do relativly mediocre jobs with mediocre pay but they still enjoy life and dont really want or need to improve their job situation.
This post reminds me of Paul Buchheit's definition of startup advice:

Limited Life Experience + Overgeneralization = ADVICE

The argument posed by the author looks good so long as he selectively chooses his examples (dropbox in this case). There's far too much chaos in startups to ever know what the best possible outcome is, so a founder can never come to the proposed conclusion of mediocrity (in fact, there's so much gray area that any conclusion is really just a reflection of founder confidence).
"I am 19 years old. You could say that my generation is the first to have grown up with the internet."

I remember when I was 19 and felt like nothing in the world had existed before me. I'm 31 and was using the internet before this guy was born.

To whoever the fellow is that wrote this, become a little less inwardly focused. Shit changes fast, and your "generation" is being ruined as much as mine was by Nintendo in the 80's or my parent's with that "rock and roll". That's to say, not at all.
If there were a good measurement for that, I'm sure that entrepreneurship would be a much easier business.
So where did commenter come up with the idea that many religious folks were looking for different models of the universe at the time?
The cult of over-analyzing it all and coming out as being right in the end. Also, dreams of membership in the club of not-just-knowing-everything-but-knowing-everything-better.
Individually, you have a choice. But not using e.g. WhatsApp needs to be a collective decision or it won't work because everybody else is still stuck in there.
Yeah, but you write api_key all over your code.

The point were you define it is sensitive, but the place where you use it are not.
Maybe they use Gulp. I don't even know anymore...
As a European, I hate the false friendliness you get from waiters and shop staff in the States. Give me a grumpy Spanish waiter any day.
If you take the time to read, they're not asking for deplatforming or censorship, they're asking for more transparency in ads and content origin.
It's like instant on demand video and voice calls. Science ficiton had been dreaming of it since the end of 19th century. Then suddenly... Skype. It will happen in the most obscure place.
Do you think Poland is a good place to relocate to for person from the Middle East? I'm Polish and the country never struck me as particularly tolerant for foreign cultures, although I have some anecdotal evidence of Indian people who relocated here and they do quite well from what I understand. I don't have any first hand account, but there is a sizable group of doctors and civil engineers from the Middle East / North Africa who I believe migrated here during the communist period (as our government back then had good relationships with some of their governments, they've often arrived on students exchanges and stayed).

Note, I don't want to discourage anyone, I hope Dalia and people in the similar situation have a great career in front of here. I'm curios about the outside perspective and why you've indicated Poland as a potential destination to relocate to the EU.
Some folks have mentioned that this can't be compared to Apple because as a Shopify app creator you have the option to distribute the app on your own platform to avoid the 20% fee.

But in an eco-system driven platform I don't think having a choice matters in the end.

If users are trained that the best place to install apps is through the app store and there's a huge marketing effort put in place by the app store that you can only trust apps from that store, etc., etc. then it almost doesn't matter if there's an alternative because users immediately associate non-app store apps as being very bad and should be avoided at all costs.

I don't use Shopify currently but I imagine the work flow for adding a new app to your store starts with you searching the app store for whatever type of app you want because it's built into the platform. Then you start narrowing down results based on demo videos, features and reviews until you find something you're happy with.

Going outside of the app store doesn't even come up because most app types probably have dozens of decent choices on the app store. Even if you decided to Google around most of the top hits will be apps from the app store because Shopify's SEO is very likely going to be better than yours.

The only way someone will discover and use your app outside of the app store is you have already have a massive following and trust that you're not a bad actor looking to do something shady by avoiding the app store (because this is what users are trained to think) and your app is leaps and bounds better than anything that exists on the app store so that users are willing to take the risk to go with your non-official app. That doesn't seem like it would happen very often.

Does anyone have a wildly successful Shopify app that's not on the app store?

To me this feels like an illusion of choice because yes technically you have the option but realistically the outcome is the same as having no option.
I would do A. If I in the future still want to work on B, I hopefully have the money and skills to do so.

One thing that I've realized as a procrastinator, is that being an ideas person is very overrated and it's very easy to inflate the future value (financial, emotional, social) of ideas.
I put all my 401k into treasury bonds about a year and a half ago, for one simple reason: the market was no longer offering me rational prices for stocks. The market is trying to sell me a Ford Fiesta for 100k, and I’m not buying it. You can stand there and say, the value of a Ford Fiesta has gone up 10% a year for ten years, or whatever, and I’m glad that makes you happy but I don’t care. I’m still not buying a Ford Fiesta for 100k because if I’m not pulling my money out for 30 years, it doesn’t matter much what the year to year fluctuations in value are. I’m not speculating on market movements. I just want to get fair value for my money, and if nobody’s going to give it to me then I’m happy to put my money on a pile and sit on it. Eventually the market will turn and someone will offer me a fair deal, I don’t care how long it takes. I’ll take a nap and wait.

I know there’s a quote out there that says “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent” but that doesn’t apply in this case. I don’t need this money. It’s for later. I can stay solvent indefinitely. The market can go suck eggs. If it stays at this inflated level forever, I still haven’t really lost anything. If the cost of a Ford Fiesta goes to a million, well c’est la vie. But everyone knows that it isn’t actually worth that much so it seems like a dumb assumption to make that that will happen. Why would you just assume there’s always going to be a bigger idiot? You eventually run out of idiots and someone will come to me hat in hand and say, “...what about 15k?” and then I’ll get off my pile of money.
No, I'm right there with you. I'm young enough (which is saying increasingly less) to have encountered vim and then vi, rather than the other way around. Vee came as the most natural way of pronouncing vim without the M.
If you upvoted it, you can find it in upvoted submissions in your profile.
Yeah I was a bit confused by this as well. I haven't looked at the rails code in vcap yet but you're right in stating that this is a solved problem. I think they were going for something a little more generic for code reuse reasons? I plan on sitting down with the code in earnest and helping flush out the rack/sinatra stuff to be better tuned for that use case.
I have a sneaking suspicion that people overestimate their own intelligence and the rigor of their education. I'm skeptical that education has truly gotten worse, and suspect that people like this lady have forgotten how dumb they used to be.
Hah. I was wondering that myself. I think it's sort of a sacred cow that higher education is good and beyond reproach, and that obtaining more formal education is usually a good idea.

That criticism is very valid, and if I do find that happening - then I will definitely have to re-evaluate my value proposition.

The main issue was that I know in my mind, what my revenue targets are - and I figure it might be easier/better to reach those with fewer users (mainly because it is just me right now, and I can't support TOO many users) and be better able to support those, than to try and get more users and everybody's support suffers.

I also thought what would be fair for me to pay - in my previous jobs, for this service and that is reflected in the price. Had I been doing what I used to do, I would pay these rates.

However, if the feedback is overwhelming that the price is too high, then I will definitely re-evaluate it.

Thanks.
Ireland has a low corporation tax 12½%, to avail of that you need to incorporate an Irish company. This has nothing to do with Ireland's VAT rate (of about 21%)
