Sorry, there is nothing about equal opportunity in Libertarianism. If anything, it is against it.

Libertarianism does nothing to equate chances of new born human. All that he is and will be is mostly determined by family he is born into. Example: HN entrepreneurs were mostly born into rich families.

Egalitarianism is about equality of opportunity. I.e. you will not be prevented from becoming rich as fuck, but expect that passing all that wealth of money onto your children will be a bit harder and other children's education will be paid from your taxes.

And the third beast: communism. Equality of opportunity and outcomes.
>often people ostensibly work with the team, but actually want to see the team fail

I've definitely seen this as a very common proclivity of small, poorly structured teams, over 30+ years of software development experience.

"Buy-in", or .. the phenomenon of staff actually buying into the project, and investing themselves in the effort required to realize a particular vision, actually requires them to agree with the project policies and strategy. If people in the team do not agree - like, actively, not just saying 'I agree' - not much work ever really gets done.

People who feel they have to covertly work to make a team fail need to realize where the failure really starts: in the decision to do so, without communicating about it.

Whereas, on the other hand, teams who really like each other - enjoy the project - use the technology well - and are open about the things they do not like about their daily/weekly work load - often accomplish amazing things.

It all starts with the decision to make something happen. If that decision is made for you by someone else, either buy the decision or don't. Loitering around to 'do the right thing and destroy the project/be there when it "inevitably fails"' is quite a disastrous contribution, in my opinion. I encourage everyone I work for - subordinate or superior, or otherwise - to keep things clean. Work, or leave.
I totally agree. Lead developers write code, also remove real, tangible and hard roadblocks in the code for the team... this sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare. I think he was turned into a manager without him realizing it.
9th grader arrested after bringing a home-built clock to school
The sentence before that is important:

> They looked up to me for leadership and that also meant defining what was and what was not allowed.

I'm guessing he's just paraphrasing what went on. People judging the person who came late and left early. The leader might know what is going on, but maybe the person itself keeps it for themselves. Then others might wonder why just one person gets so much leeway. This is basically lack of understanding and trust.

Secondly, he seems to indicate that sometimes people might come in late and leave early while he doesn't know at all why it is happening.

He's from the Netherlands so can relate a bit more (though I don't work in IT). There are loads of people who just do their time. Meaning, come in on time, follow their lunch time exactly, leave on time. This because their value their personal life and work is just something you do. If you have lots of such people, they won't understand why the rest doesn't do the same. Leading to resentment, etc.

Where I work someone has been taking loads of personal time for the last 3 years. Think of a minimum of 0.5 day/week and this excludes taking days off. Everyone understands why, and there's no issue. However understanding a manager might be, you also have to deal with the entire team as well as other teams. That you know why you did something or that your manager knows still might not be enough.
There are existing algorithms that do that. E.g. Paxos, Raft, 2PC.

Real breakthrough of Nakamoto is devising a scheme where whole network is protected against Sybil attack. I.e. there is no need to don't trust or register parties who participate in the network.

All elements of Bitcoin, such as proof of work, crypto ledger, merkle trees, etc were already known. Nakamoto combined them in a way which solves an unsolved problem.

Why Remote Software Development Works? The Story of a Startup from London
Although I agree with your points, there is something about this that bothers me every time I start on a project and think of making a landing page. My concern is, what if I take too long to launch from the day the landing page goes online? Won't that mean I lose any of the potential customers that found my product idea interesting in the first place?

Is this a joke? Poland has a larger population than chile, better per capita GDP, and is a power house in the middle of Europe. They do still have some internal problems but this is nothing compared to the (low key) international conflicts Chile still is involved in.

I love both countries though.
One perspective is that bringing up children is in the interest of society as a whole. In giving a bit more leeway to parents, it's really all of us who benefit. Or more to the point - it is reasonable to assume that all (or most) the single people will eventually become parents hem selves, and they will then get the same benefits, since it's an ingrained part of the culture.

Sure, my point was that open source doesn't matter anything for this attack vector. I have yet to see anyone with reproducible builds being used and cared about in production. It's too expensive, and impractical. How are you going to verify that a system you just installed is OK? An attacker would've patched the md5sum (or other hashing) utility as well, so you'd need to mount you whole filesystem from another (trusted) machine, run the checksum on each file from that other machine, and compare with a known-good (through a reputation network) list.

And in the mean time, a million monkeys have social-engineered your secretary's machine through a Farmville js trick and pwned your network 3 ways from Sunday.

> given the same chemical concentration the net half-life of the remaining nuclear waste would be on the same timescale as the of uranium ore.

I dropped a few words there. It should read:

given the same chemical concentration and demanding the radioactivite density (decays per time per mass) of the remaining nuclear waste to be on a similar level as of that of uranium ore it has to have either a similar net half-life or be appropriately diluted (and uranium ore already is quite diluted by itself)
I've been assuming that green usernames indicated some kind of super user. That's because the green usernames stands out so much compared to all other usernames.
You are right that conflicts may last decades. But that does not mean we can accept anyone, give them housing and leave it to magical integration. We absolutely need a "staging environment" where these people can stay safe, warm and fed and more importantly show willingness to both work and integrate. I'm not against accepting fleeing people that are willing to settle and accept new culture. But I think it is a bad idea to just take all these people, dump somewhere inside EU with documents and call it a day.

> Why is there so much resistance to implementing authenticated encryption?

We already stated that we are going to implement authenticated encryption. But when we do it we have to do it right. We have to keep everything backwards compatible and we can't enable one client to use the new implementation until all supported clients (JS, .NET (Outlook), Android and iOS) are upgraded. Implementing this kind of backward compatibility will not take only 10 minutes.

Please submit a pull request that keeps everything backwards compatible and works for all platforms. We are happy about everyone who wants to contribute.

Right, so that UI (which I presume is the admin backend), did you do the design yourself there? I'm having a hard time getting something coherent together for my own projects, and templates (also paid ones) only get you so far.

As long as it is also socially acceptable that non-smokers take various 15min breaks during the day and talk about nothing.

I once worked at a place where smokers took various breaks but it was not acceptable to just idle around. IMO nowadays I just see it as weak management, not being able to determine and/or say to a person that they're taking way too many breaks.

There are 2 perspectives to be aware of: theirs & yours.

You are replacing something they wrote. That in a way is saying what they wrote is obsolete.

Ask yourself why are you and other new members are working on this project; for your own advancement or for the good of the company. If the reason is the former, there's going to be a big ego-clash.

Look for win-win:
* The original team wrote the system and have learned valuable lessons from it over time. Ask them if they could write it now using current tools, how would they improve. Sell them the vision that the success of the project depends on their knowledge, and they can learn new tools, language, patterns, from the new members.
* The newer members can bring new ideas (backend, UI, etc). Sell them the vision that the success of the project depends on the new skill set that they bring.

Since you cannot change the original team composition, balance it by choosing the new team carefully, e.g., choose people who are goal-driven, and result-oriented; they care more about getting things done then throwing their weight around.
Crownstone, the smart power outlet that recognizes you and your devices
"Never mistake activity for achievement." - John Wooden
From the description on Kickstarter: The Crownstone is a power outlet for both the European and the American market, that uses Bluetooth Low-Energy to establish your presence through your smartphone. Moreover, it recognizes devices by very accurate current and voltage measurements.

The Crowstone is a multifunctional product that simultaneously brings you comfort and reduces your energy bills.

There is no need to turn off every device or lamp when you are going for groceries! The Crownstones are nice gadgets. However, they are more than just nifty products, they are a first step to make your home aware of you and your presence. The Crownstones become the eyes and ears of your home to optimally cater to your needs.

Was there complete transparency on salary there? I mean - that person might have made a deal with your employer to take a lower salary in return for that privilege. Either explicitly or simply by not getting the same raise as they would otherwise. I find it a bit peculiar that people concern themselves with these things, but have no problem with differential in pay.
Yes, that's the UI I did.

My tip to improving your design skills: Try to replicate designs you like. Pick one and analyze every pixel (literally!) of it and try to build it yourself. The techniques you learn in the process make it easier to come up with a nice design of your own eventually.

It's a great exercise and helped me a lot in the past.

Its a private blockchain, their is a usecase. The its enougth for the banks to trust each other, it might not be to prove to 'the public' but within the private agreements of the banks it counts as trused.

The problem is that you want a revolution and this is evolution.

> However if that token is only controlled by the banks are we not back right where we started?

They never wanted to change it.

For them it might just be about improving the verifiabilty compared to the current system. They need not have broader aims then that and a blockchain between banks can help with that.

> nonexistent border protection from southern countries like Italy, Greece. Never have I heard of them employing border patrols to veer off illegal boats

Big fallacy here: Italy is forced to take on all migrants that even come close to Italian soil. We cannot respond with force (of course) and we cannot catch them all. We also are forced to evaluate all their asylum request fairly and we have to deal with loads of them that just refuse self identification making the process long and costly.

> I am by no means denying the need for help for actual war victims
'War victims' is used by every single one of them because it's the only way in. Problem is, how do you grant asylum and which resource do you use for it? Current international agreements afaik puts all the costs on the landing nation. Problem is, they want southern country to have higher safety and better controls and all that, but noone wants to pay for it.

> Fourteen-year-old Ahmed Mohamed...

> “They took me to a room filled with five officers in which they interrogated me and searched through my stuff and took my tablet and my invention,” the teen said. “They were like, ‘So you tried to make a bomb?’ I told them no, I was trying to make a clock.”

Yep.
I believe the title of this article originally included the word "Muslim," which has since been removed by a mod or the OP. This is unfortunate as it's highly relevant as evinced by these passages from the article:

During questioning, officers repeatedly brought
up his last name, Mohamed said.

[...]

Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed blamed
the incident on Islamophobia.

“He just wants to invent good things for mankind,”
said the elder Mohamed, who immigrated from Sudan.
“But because his name is Mohamed and because of
Sept. 11, I think my son got mistreated.”

Lastly, this quote from Ahmed at the very end of the article just galls me:

“[The handcuffs] made me feel like I wasn’t human,”
he said in a video interview. “It made me feel like
a criminal.”
It bothers me when people suggest unrealistic possibilities to people being layed off like starting their own businesses.

There's 10% unemployment. Is that really a legit solution?

Capitalism is built on the idea of everyone 'working' and 'having a job' and theres lots of people like his dad who really want work, and are loyal and hardworking.

But there's not enough jobs to go around and the amount keeps decreasing due to automation.

So what happens next?
This is genius.
He was interrogated without the presence of his parents or presumably a lawyer. Now, I'm not all that au fait with left-pondian legal stuff, but isn't that what Tommy Lee Jones kind of got in trouble for doing in The Client?

Really interesting research. I definitely felt something similar when I came to the end of a job recently, after three years in post. I didn't sabotage anything but I did relax a little more and maybe I wasn't as productive as I had been previously, which you could say was 'cheating' slightly.

WebGL is being utilized in Google Maps which has massive adoption. There are even whole browser based game engines like PlayCanvas - see https://playcanvas.com - that rely on WebGL.

To me it indicates that you don't have a good facilitator in discussions. IMO one of the nicest things I've ever learned is the "silent thinking" bit. Basically: don't say anything, people write post-its, then people present that. This avoids usual influential people from speaking up early and everyone just focussing on one or two ideas. I've often been surprised what some people come up with.

If above is not enough to get an agreement, let the two people work it out on their own with a limit on how much time they can spend on it (and really limit this time). No need to have an entire team listen in or extend an existing meeting for ages (meetings should be brief).

Aside from that, sometimes you just need to do. So something like "it's not a perfect decision, but what you're saying is known and now it is time to do".

I'm from the Netherlands btw, though 50% of my colleagues are foreign.

Yes, I should pay more attention to things I like and clarify for myself why I like them. I tend to only notice things when I don't like them, a great design tends to do its magic in the background.

Did you design it from scratch, or did you use a framework that you customized? And do you design in Photoshop first or straight away in code? I have one project in mind right now where I basically started with bootstrap, put all the components for the functionality in, and now it looks like such a mess that I don't even know where to begin in cleaning it up any more.
