These are not binary things. Other things being equal, a high inequality society is going to be less happy than a society with moderate inequality.

The level of inequality is not inevitable: There's a wide spectrum of (in)equality levels in extant human communities, and it's widely accepted that inequality can be regulated by for example redistributing income or universal coverate of services like education and healthcare.
This will be hugely unpopular, but maybe Indonesia would be a little better managed if it were still the Dutch East Indies?

Colonialism is bad, sure, we all have to believe that. But an overwhelming percentage of the hot-spots and problem areas in the world are in places where old European colonial administrations were driven out by nationalists precipitously. In some places, it's taken these countries fifty years to develop institutions that are in the ball-park of the old colonial administrations, and some of them are still corrupt and evil enough to put Leopold II to shame.
Why not, but how? No matter how you want to dance about it, money are strongly related to power. (To most girls this is probably obvious. :-))

It's not just literally true - you can exchange money for raw materials and energy (power), but every time you give money to someone else to do your bidding, you are exercising power over them.

The only time this power is not really being exercised (as in "power over other people") is when you're spending for your own pleasure, buying things like a new car or a spa visit. Investing money is almost always exercising power, depending how much and with what intent you will affect future of others. For example, you can buy a newspaper company to make good PR about you.

So to be able to "destroy the power", in capitalist society, you would have to very tightly control how people spend money. This is not only fiendishly difficult, but also undesirable from a free market perspective.

Reducing inequality is a much simpler way to remove power from too powerful people, because it simply gives more power to other people. And there is in fact not much need to be wealthy in the first place, unless you can have associated power - there is only so much cars one person needs.
Wow. You'd think Singapore could offer enough of a personal reward to make it possible for individuals involved to defect (immunity + $$$$$$$).
Can state courts give immunity? I would assume yes. What happens if a state court grants immunity to get at the evidence or testimony but the evidence or testimony could lead to federal or other jurisdictional (another state?) charges or prosecution? How can one be forced in one court to be exposed in others? It would seem the immunity being granted would have to be universal. How can one court/jurisdiction grant such immunity beyond its jurisdiction?

They want, and are getting, normal users to install the app.

For instance:

Access to the microphone is sort of justified for a voice app, quite a bit of the others are needed for "full featured" messaging.
What I get out of this is that Microsoft Outlook is a bad webmail service that will mark things as spam even though there is no evidence they are spam.

I have recently seen more or less the same thing implied about Gmail.

So the actual issue seems to be that free webmail services are not that great. Historically free services tend to get worse. Perhaps it is just a coincidence that Outlook and Gmail are degrading in the same way at the same time.

Putting everything in one map and naively rendering it is a pattern that comes from the clojurescript subset of the React community and it works because the cljs wrappers assume cljs' immutable datastructures and all implement shouldComponentUpdate for you.

React isn't magically fast, it's just O(n_size_of_diff). Getting it to perform well here requires you to figure out how to prune the size of the diff. You're doing it by splitting the app state into finer grained trees (each tree is pruning the branches it's not listening to) but any gains you're picking up from doing this could be done on the single root solution with appropriate shouldComponentUpdate methods.

The alternative (and easier) way of reducing the diff size is to simply window your data before passing it into the render, which can work for things like grids and lists but doesn't sound like your problem.

You also need to occasionally reshape your data to make the diff smaller. I work on a search app that thrashed for 1.2s every time new search results came in. The problem was that the results were invalidating a recursive menu component which was re-rendering 4 times per update. Avoiding the invalidation fixed the specific delay but the menu was still slow. Switching the menu's data organization from at tree of objects with `open` attrs to a static tree + open path and only rendering the visible nodes solved the perf problems in the app.
Web Recorder
It uses an SMS to register your phone number.
I think the use case is similar to Python's os library. You will probably still need to write specific code for specific systems (for example, Windows' paths vs Unix's paths), however it still makes things easier for the programmer since you can use the same interface between multiple OS.
Not to mention simply searching for common file names would do the trick, too. It is not too hard to come up with an algorithm that can return a boolean (or float) indicating if a file collection looks like TV series. "Game of Thrones - S??E??" is a good start.

I'll leave the article as-is. This isn't the first article to grace HN that stated that Japanese companies tend to be slow adopters. What I want to know is why the highlight on human traffic signalers as an indicator of how "backwards" the culture is technologically.

It seems to me that if the goal is not just public safety, but to put a human face on law enforcement, a human traffic signal is exactly what is required. True, a robot can do the job, but a robot would be ineffective at the task of humanizing the reasons behind the laws and in providing assistance to people who need it.
This discussion has been done so many times. There are advantages and disadvantages to all the major software licences. We don't need another 200 comment flame war about the GPL.
Singapore is advanced and rich, but it is small compared to Indonesia. Singapore has larger GDP and military per capita, but in absolute terms, Indonesia is much larger. Its army has four times as many men as Singapore (300,000 vs. 75,000), and Indonesian GDP is 2840 billion USD while Singapore is 453 billion.

There are a lot of people attributing malice to Microsoft's announcement. I think it is mostly incompetence. I think the underlying Azure storage technology is behind Google's and Amazon's and does not have the same ability to take advantage of decreasing costs due to improved technology. How else do you explain everybody else dropping their prices and/or increasing their quotas while Microsoft reduces their quotas. Google still has unlimited storage for photos up to a certain size and 1080p video. Then again they are not using Azure Storage.

That Microsoft is having problems with scaling Azure also makes sense of the announcement that they are reducing the free tier storage. If you looked at it from just that they are being abuses by people storing 75tb then reducing the free tier storage does not make sense. However, if they are having issues with the underlying Azure Storage and are wanting to relieve pressure on it, then reducing the amount of storage and the number of accounts because of existing users migrating to other cloud storage providers makes sense.

If you are considering Azure for your cloud provider, consider that their halo internal customer OneDrive decided that Azure Storage did not allow them to fulfill what they promised to their customers and they are being forced to cut back at the cost of a huge customer backlash and loss of goodwill. If Azure Storage cannot be relied upon by their internal customer, how can your company rely on it?
Better to have all 0day trading above board than below I think. The genie is out of the bottle, it's senseless to outlaw this kind of behaviour since the people and the skills are already out there.

Even AnglerEK uses 0days sometimes, we'd only be increasing the underground economy if these practices were to be outlawed completely. The only way to go is for companies to offer higher bug-bounty payouts than their offensive competitors. Which is a reasonable thing to do if you look at the damages caused by malware campaigns powered by 0days.
I didn't mean to imply it was binary. All other things being equal, a society where people are less envious is going to be happier than a society where people are more envious.
> Also, Mono is licensed under the LGPL and Xamarin's interpretation of that license precludes using the runtime in a closed-source program without a alternative license from them

Is the RedPhone server component open source?
One of the issues here is that there's no obvious alternative to switch to in most cases. Plus depending on a well-established company like Heroku (Salesforce) or Amazon is different then depending on something brand new.

Not to diminish the work put into this though. It looks great! :)
I wonder if you trying to be sarcastic, or just follow an immensely narrow set of German media?

You need a bit more than "defensive" forces for this.
The same is true of sex partners - inequality there will also make society less happy. I've personally observed far more people unhappy that they can't get laid than that they don't make enough money.

It's also widely accepted that this inequality can be regulated, for example by social norms discouraging female promiscuity.

So I suppose you favor this also, in the interests of not being inconsistent?

Computer games are also video games. That said, I don't think a correction to the original statement was really necessary.
For the purpose of solving serious general programming problems like these on the server, most developers would probably rather want to use something like google app engine because it hosts code as well as static files for free, up to certain quota limits. That way, they can just play around with one of the zillions of open source python libraries, and then integrate it into their projects. Making third-party API calls is honestly something that developers want to avoid if at all possible.

> This used to be called "envy", and seen as a vice to be avoided.

There are two sides to the coin. What you call "envy" has a very good (evolutionary) reason for its existence.

Take a look at ultimatum game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimatum_game). If people didn't have capacity to deny unfair splits, even though they seem irrational, then they would be worse off.

I posit that denying unfair splits in ultimatum game is envy. Think about it, envy is the reason to do it - the other party doesn't deserve the bigger split, so let's kill it for both! The similar game can be for instance used as a model of worker's strike against a capitalist.

(I think in fact most people consider envy a vice only where it's extreme or there are other circumstances that make it unfair. But in general it's just an expression of longing for fairness.)

You would think the Brits would be used to these false pretexts by now but the fear/apathy is strong.

The illegal mass-surveillance, detailed by Snowden, sanctioned by Cameron which required backdoor retroactive legislation didn't seem to help to uncover any of the child abuse happening openly on the streets of many northern UK cities or to stop the 7/7 bombings.

I haven't heard of a single proposal from any UK party to toughen sentencing for torture and rape of children in spite of the recent deluge of these and other cases mostly involving politicians, celebs and clergy.

These kinds of persons will implement their own end-to-end encryption anyway so the only people this really affects is - everybody else!

> $5.2B is too much, but they really do deserve a massive fine.

Apparently it’s just double the annual profits – as a private person, you can easily end up in prison for two years for facilitating the kidnapping of someone, I don’t see why a company shouldn’t “lose out” on two years for facilitating that kidnapping, let alone all the other issues mentioned in the article.

Of course, ideally executives and shareholders would be imprisoned, but one can only wish…

I'm still waiting for the internet RFCs to be coded in Haskell. It seems like Haskell is the perfect language to write a protocol specification in, yet, mysteriously, no implementations that parallel the specs can be found.
I think the above explanation I made with ultimatum game may provide some insight. People have a notion of fairness, which is more subtle; they don't just want to force everyone on the same level.

I'm glad it's not called RedPhone for Android users, they may get it confused with YouRed I mean YouTubeRed I mean RedTube or whatever it's called now. In all seriousness though - what was (is) with the trend of apps with Red in the name? Red to me gives the idea of danger or something that's stopped / blocked.
No idea about device history. Identity to know your number. Contacts for contact discovery (using a privacy protecting protocol). Location for location sharing. SMS because you can send SMS with it. Phone because it can call from it. Media and camera because you can share media. Microphone for calls. WiFi connection for a bit more stable connectivity. Etc...
There are advantages to text, advantages to handwriting, and advantages to analogue. Many of the supposed efficiency improvements of modern technology are overblown, and rushing blindly in that direction has made us subjects of a surveillance state where we're getting ever more powerless against the corporations and governments who have the real control over the tech we use.

There's wisdom in refraining from chasing the new shiny.

My friend and I are developing an app (with an aim to help people with business networking and creating meaningful business relationships)
It's a simple app and I think we should build an MVP. However, everyone seems to obsessed with the LEAN THINKING and they tell me that I have to figure out a way to test the market with a landing page or something similar.

What do you think? Should I really go for it and test the market with a landing page for an app? If so, do you have any ideas on how to 'put it out there'. Since no one downloads an app from a desktop and we are not on Apple Store or Google Play, this will be a challenge. Thanks!
Trading, as in "people crazily trying to profit from a dumber / slower counterpart" is zero sum.

But trading, as in, go to market and exchange money for another thing, can be a positive-sum game. If both participants in the exchange have different risk profiles, the exchange might make both of them happy - that's why they go to market, and expect not to be ripped off.

An easy example are future markets (the risk of high prices is good for the guy that has oranges, bad for the guy that makes juice).

Another example, with stocks, is putting your money in diversified assets. If all I have is stocks from company A, and you have only company B shares, and even if both companies are exposed to the same risks, it's good for both of us to interchange stock. If the CEO gets a heart attack, neither of us gets impacted wholly.

The point being: as you can't predict the future, the fact that one party ended up winning is not sufficient condition for the whole thing being a zero-sum game, unless you restrict "the game" to be something smaller than the intentions of the agent, which is dumb.
Violence Against Women Driving Central American Refugee Crisis, Says UN Report
If you look at the history of Indonesia, in 1965 there was a military coup which largely exterminated the local popular based party, the PKK in an enormous massacre. At least a million people were killed. It was received mainly with applause in the west. Thereafter Indonesian was opened up to western international corporations - essentially neo-colonialisation.
Mario here, libGDX author and part of the RoboVM team. We switched from Xamarin to RoboVM for libGDX because it worked better for our purposes and was free. It being OSS was a plus, but that wasn't really a factor in the decision. We've been happily using Xamarin for a year, even though it was closed. I constantly evaluated other options, including Avian and XMLVM, neither of which came close to either Xamarin or RoboVM in terms of functionality and performance. That is still true today.

The free indie licenses for libGDX and PlayN users will last. It's very easy on our end to prevent abuse automatically. We never considered not making it free for indie game devs. From RoboVM's standpoint, it makes zero sense to 1) try monetizing a community that can't be monetized and 2) alienate the community that helped RoboVM a lot over the past two years. If RoboVM stopped the free indie licenses, it would only hurt RoboVM's bottom line.

The close sourcing was badly communicated, no question about that. But contrary to popular believe, it was not the longest bait and switch in the history of evil plans (RoboVM's been out there for almost 4 years), it was a business decision. A direct competitor exploited the free OSS version, hurting our bottom line.
As someone who went back to BlackBerry when BB10 was launched, I'm not sure I'd buy this phone - in my opinion the Android UX is just so ugly and I'm not convinced that the Blackberry hub will work as well on Android as it does on BB10 (the two things I love most about my phone).

My Z10 is now 2.5 years old and I'm considering replacing it with a brand new one. I'll take a look at the Priv but my thoughts are it's too expensive and won't be as effortless to use as it would have been if it was running BB10.
Thank god.
Here is a video from BBC which gives a lot more information
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xkp2J3D-fM

For instance, the founder mentions that the robot is expected to be remote controlled by a human in about 1% of the conditions which are deemed too difficult.

Also, they talk about the theft/vandalism problem. Like some here have speculated, the plan is to use loud speakers to say something like "What are you doing? The police will be here in 5min and we have you on video."

Personally, I dont know if it will work but anyway I think its a great idea. Maybe obvious in hindsight, but my mind is still blown when thinking about it.
I can't remember the exact number but we used to get something like 300 licenses, then they reduced it to 200, then earlier this year they reduced it to 100. I believe too that a single user can use more than one license depending on their account type. We spend more time dealing with the issues with O365 both on the licensing and stability front than we did with our own hosted exchange which is saying something since that wasn't very well managed TBQH.

I hope you're just trolling.

One of the problems is that Indonesia should have been either a number of independent states or a United States of Indonesia model, but turned into a kind of copy of the Dutch East Indies, except with Jakarta taking the place of the Dutch. In many ways, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Irian Jaya are Javanese colonies and treated that way.
