> 1Password is SUPER expensive for what it is.

I don't know about that. LastPass wants $12/yr for their premium service. 1Password charged me $60 for the Windows + Mac bundle back in 2011. Other than the fact that you have to pay up front, the price seems similar.
Hi ge0,

I just wanted to thank you for your kind words.
How are you finding Cloud Foundry? Is it good?

I've looked quickly at it, but unlike (say) Heroku, found it hard to know where to start to host a simple app.
Not sama here, not affiliated with YC, but my guess is that a talented researcher who spent some time on a bad track at YCR could keep working for YC as a scientific advisor or work for one of the YC companies that might need his/her skills, if he/she can't go back to academia.

It might be an issue with the certificate chain not installed in the correct order on their servers. I've had this issue in the past. Mobile browsers sometimes do not "fill in the gaps" for missing/out of order certificates, but desktop browsers are much better at that. Not sure why.

The Secret: How to Write a Perfect Medium Post
Notes from WWDC 2015: Building Watch Apps
> Crypto is all or nothing. You can't have "backdoors" into crypto algorithms that are secret only to the government. It is literally impossible.

You don't backdoor the algorithm. You backdoor the use of the algorithm--except it is more of a front door than a back door. For instance, when the device encrypts data with a symmetric cipher, encrypt a copy of the symmetric key via a public key cipher using the FBI's public key.

Variant: split the symmetric cipher key into N shares using a secret sharing algorithm, and save each share encrypted with a different public key. Include public keys from major law enforcement agencies (FBI, Interpol), and major civil rights or human rights organizations (ACLU, EFF). Design the secret sharing so that to recover the symmetric key, you need key shares from two major law enforcement agencies and from two of the civil rights organizations.

>I walk everywhere because of my medical condition. Your advice to not be different if I want to not stand out is one I am, in some sense, fundamentally incapable of complying with.

You admitted yourself that the behavior is bizarre for the society you reside in - that's enough to stand out. I'm not saying you're in a position to change your behavior or even that you should. But you seem to be aware that it goes against social norms and attracts attention. Yet you turn around and act surprised and disgusted that it does. That seems disconnected to me.

>But I do see something incredibly problematic in the assumptioin, that you apparently agree with, that if I do not comply with the car owning cultural standard, other people have some right to butt into my life on grounds that I deserve it for the crime of being weird.

Putting words in my mouth. What I do agree with is that people have the right to speak to you and it is expected when in a public place within a social culture. I simply disagree with your social expectations and consider it more harmful to promote an isolated society over one where an occasional intrusion is beneficial. They can be irritating to an individual at times, but promoting a standard of isolation and ignoring other's is not something I can agree with.

Yesterday, the power was out in my town for scheduled maintenance. I went over to my neighbor's house to ask if they were busy. Did I have any right to know if they were busy or not? No, how rude of me. They politely told me they had nothing to do and were waiting for the power to come back on. I did the oppressive act of asking them if they would like to play Chess until the power came on. Did I have the right to butt into his life like that? No, but he agreed to pass the time. In the end we enjoyed several hours of Chess until the power came back on.

What I should have done is sat in a pitch-black house for 3 hours because I have absolutely no right to trespass onto private property to commit the revolting act of speaking to someone. I'm a terrible person for asking them to essentially be my entertainment while the power was out. I'm also an asshole for discriminating by age and suggesting Chess of all things, because I assumed a 70 year old man would be more familiar or willing to play Chess than Cards Against Humanity or some other time waster.

Perspective matters. Your story made it seem like you felt you were being grilled because people were even trying to speak to you, you assume, because you are walking and that is bizarre. If you want to give it a narrative or illustrate how they were acting classist - what they say is a lot more important than the mere attempting to speak to you part.

I don't agree that we would live in a better society if we ignored one another because we don't have explicit or implicit (ie: being at a social place like a bar or club) permission to speak with someone. Sometimes both parties benefit from unsolicited discussion. Other times one party gets annoyed. It's a trade off - and one I see as worth making.

I'm a frequent redditor who loves the idea of AMAs. This is a great idea that would really help broaden the audience that tends to miss the opportunity to talk to these people.

I really look forward to what's next!
I'm going to dumb it down a bit, and say that I like to think of two movies with different visions of a technologically advanced future: WALL-E and Elysium (aka that Matt Damon movie where all the rich people live on the space station). In WALL-E, nobody works and everybody (well, everybody that survived the initial apocalypse anyway) lives the literal fat life while robots serve them all equally. In Elysium, the abundance of health and life that comes from technological advances are hoarded away for exclusive use by the wealthy.

Of the 2 visions, I always found the Elysium model to be much more likely...actually I would argue inevitable. Given human nature, I just can't foresee a world where everyone lounges around in equally-served harmony. No...there will always be an elite, and the elite will find a way to procure and consume a vastly disproportionate amount of resources. Even in the movie Elysium, after the proletariat storm the space castle at the end, any "victory" will be short-lived and will just produce a new elite.

So I guess I'm suggesting that the proclaimed political/economic system is irrelevant. The reality ends up looking pretty much the same in either case. And that reality will probably not be pretty once human labor is fully commoditized through technology.
Elon Musk Swiping at Apple Means Apple Really Is Building a Car, No?
Urbit looks cool, but it will not magically make things distributed. What causes centralization are business factors. It's just a lot easier to build a great product if you have a revenue source, which is most easily acquired if you can lock people into paying for your proprietary thing.

Also, it's a lot easier to make good protocol decisions if you don't have to get them published into a standard and deal with the beauracracy etc. If you look at the level of polish in slack vs one of the many previous open source irc clients, the difference is clear. It helps to have money.

That's not correct. 18F predates USDS by about a year, and we are (and always have been) independent of each other, though there is a lot of cross-pollination in our work.
Putting plain text "Curated from hackernews and genius.com" is a shitty way of attributing where you've copied every piece of content from. Every piece of copied text has a source and context and likely discussion etc so you're really making all those answers a bit worse by not linking to them properly.

Attributing the content to the person who copy/pasted it is also unhelpful, who wrote the content is usually more valuable to know.
Like I said before, Cuba has been closed to a number of things for 50 years, including internet. However, things are starting to change for good, including internet access.

A few years back, only people from universities or other "privileged" entities, had access to it. Recently there have been changes that allow other sectors of the population to get internet access.

Is there broadband? No.
Is it in every home or mobile device? No.
But that is where the country that has been closed for 50 years to technology is headed finally.

This on its own constitutes a great business opportunity for any company that leverages that change, for instance.

"Living in a part of the US that skews VERY heavily towards one party, I especially vote in primary elections, which are where it's actually determined which congresscritter or senator we'll be sending to Washington or the state capital."

This is exactly the case in NYC, which is heavily Democratic: the winner of the Democratic primary is the most likely winner of the general election (where they sometimes even run unopposed). In the recent primary in my district, the vote for City Council member was won by a margin of a few hundred votes, since the voter turnouts for primaries are pretty sparse compared with the general election. One person's vote really makes a difference in this situation.
There are good arguments to be made against gentrification, and there are good arguments to be made that people don't deserve to have special privileges just because they got here first. It makes me sad that a lot of the public debate in places like Seattle comes down to "fuck you, go home."

Indeed. I see positive, fact based and data driven policy advocacy as most productive.

Fear, worry, shame based advocacy does more harm than good. Generally, of course. Sometimes we need those things, but not as norms in the political dialog.

When we are FOR things, it seems easier to work together on them to expected outcomes. Being AGAINST things is much easier, but so often leaves a hole we hope will be filled by market forces and that outcome will be better, or worthy.

Sometimes it is. I believe in markets, but they do come with inherent conflicts of interest that can be difficult to manage.

On this issue, it seems necessary to have a plan and a just and reasonable outcome goal.

This is a huge validation of everything we've been saying and working on at Pivotal. In order to be successful at running software at scale you need your operations to get out of your way as a developer, and you need tools and architecture that make being an operator painless.

The final TPP text includes similar ex-officio language to a TPP draft reviewed in a 2013 analysis of fanzine impact, by a Japanese lawyer, http://japanitlaw.blogspot.com/2013/01/tpps-effect-on-fanzin..., "in practice, it is rare for the police to commence an investigation without a complaint by the rights holder. However, this situation may change. The draft of the request of the US on Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) 15.5(g) stipulates, "its authorities may initiate legal action ex officio with respect to the offenses described in this Chapter, without the need for a formal complaint by a private party or rights holder."

We need these texts in a git repo with diffs. In QQ.H.7 below, the text is modified:

2011: its authorities may initiate legal action ex-officio
with respect to the offenses described in this Chapter

2015: its competent authorities may act upon their
own initiative to initiate a legal action

The final text:

QQ.H.6 Special Requirements related to Border Measures

6. Each Party shall provide that its competent
authorities may initiate border measures
ex officio with respect to goods under customs
control that are:

(a) imported;
(b) destined for export; or
(c) in-transit

and that are suspected of being counterfeit
trademark goods, or pirated copyright goods.

... A Party may exclude from the application
of this Article small quantities of goods of a
non-commercial nature contained in travelers'
personal luggage.

QQ.H.7 Criminal Procedures and Penalties

6. (g) that its competent authorities may act upon
their own initiative to initiate a legal action
without the need for a formal complaint by a
private party or right holder

"Parsing through the language here, it sounds like if the government chooses to, they may elect to make an exception for your cell phone, but the agreement does not prohibit this kind of activity. Even then, even if the government thinks that seizing and destroying your cell phone on the basis of copyright infringement is absurd, they can only say that your cell phone has to be in your luggage. For many travelers, they would prefer to have their cell phone on their person as opposed to buried in their luggage in, say, the undercarriage of a plane. When they land on the other side, it’s not unreasonable for them to want to call someone to let them know that they have arrived. If a traveler is driving across a border, it is definitely a common thing for passengers to be carrying a cell phone on their person as well. So, the risk of authorities seizing and destroying your cellphone on the basis of copyright infringement still stands here."
yes, what you are describing is not reality.

Just to add some anecdata as a pile, I run about 1200 miles a year (half pavement, one third trail, the rest track). I regularly get a sort of runner's high after covering 5+ miles at a hard (7 min) pace, or 10+ miles at a moderate (8-9 min) pace. The intensity varies, but it usually sets in after this considerable distance and lasts for 2-4 hours afterwards.

> The magic happens when an infrastructure team encapsulates their expertise, and then exposes that expertise as a service which can be used directly by developers.

I like this statement - how do you deal with educating team members on areas that require deep expertise? (e.g.., security, accessibility, localization).

Do you offer training, brown-bags, educational videos, or do you say "don't worry about it - if you do this in $x way, magic[1] will take care of you".

[1] Magic being defined as the compiler, automated tests, etc., feeding into a central feedback system (bugs, tickets, email, or whatever you use) telling you what you did wrong, and hopefully how to fix it.

I think that people who signed up for YCR are looking for alternatives, and who will themselves be part of a biased group. In other words, it might be people who have struggled to find tenure-track positions in academia.

I think I'm mainly echoing the opinion that it's a little quick to say Academia is "fucked up", since with all it's flaws, there are still great virtues, and a more thoughtful response would probably be more appreciated. I also see the tendency for people to quickly judge academia when they haven't been in academia.

Your stock options expire 10 years after they were issued or 30 days after you stop working with Clef

This market standard provision in startup employee equity agreements is probably the single biggest obstacle to realizing a gain from employee equity.

What it means is that when you leave your job, if you want to capture any potential upside from your options, you're required to execute them, paying your own money for actual shares. Depending on the amount of equity you have, this may or may not be a meaningful amount of money, but it is in any case a painful decision to have to make.

Companies like Pinterest have done things to address this flaw; they allow employees who no longer work at the firm to retain their vested options without executing them for several years.
One the one hand, it's pretty clear that "Weev"'s reaction is emotional, ethically questionable, and not an effective way to build sympathy toward reform.

"The lower the exercise price for Common Stock, the more money your options will earn you, so it’s in our best interest to make this price really low." - technically, while it's in the employee's interest to have the price be as low as possible, isn't it in the company's interest to have the price be as close to the 409A valuation as possible?
