Seriously, there are lots of countries where human beings are treated fairly and humanely and with dignity. The US is not one of them, as we've seen in everything from the pre-trial treatment of Manning by the Feds to the way the local police treat minorities.

There are so many options. Why that one?
well, sure, but we are talking about late stage. A late stage company expecting a 10X increase in value without going public? from the perspective of the investors, they gave up a nearly worthless option on the upside, while protecting their downside quite a bit, while preserving the positive optics for the company and employees

> The drop in inequality has been after liberalization (in china and India, at least), not during communism.

Data (which is widely reported and easy to find) shows China has far more inequality today than before reforms. It's a bit more difficult to find data on India, but the OECD says that inequality has doubled in India during the last 20 years as well: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-16064321

> You are correct that free trade - including remittances - can reduce inequality. Weren't you just disputing this?

Free trade doesn't reduce overall inequality, it just shifts it. It transfers wealth from rich countries to poor countries, although it provides the poor country with far less wealth than it transfers from the rich country, with the difference becoming profit for the industrialist.

Transfer payments are something different altogether in that they are a direct transfer of wealth, but it's a planned action (on the part of those sending the money), not necessarily a market force.

If you look at data, inequality is increasing in most western countries, indeed in most developed and developing countries. https://www.quandl.com/collections/demography/gini-index-by-...

> Serious question: given that he didn't have a snowball's chance, why did you give him money, as opposed to giving money to some other change agent that does have a chance?

@tptacek, I thought of funding Lessig as what an angel investor would describe as exploring the problem space. That is, I believe he has correctly identified a huge problem, I knew he was a smart guy who would adapt to what he learned, and I was happy to support that exploration. I'm also comfortable with him pulling the eject lever once he couldn't see a path to moving his goals forward.

I will admit to seeing a relative dearth of alternative change agents.

I have no idea about the OP's system, but I can see some advantages to breaking components up across a network, at least for vertical scaling. First is that server prices do not scale linearly: four 10-core machines will generally be cheaper than a single 40-core machine. Second is that some programs can hog memory/CPU time; forcing programs to run on their own machine can ease some of that contention.
These gains can seem rather small, but can make a big difference at large scales. If you don't mind the drop in latency it's a perfectly acceptable architecture.
it's a pity this post doesn't have a more descriptive title.
Both this and the GP are tactics I've seen.

EDIT: Look at OED's additions list from June 2015, specifically under 'g': http://public.oed.com/the-oed-today/recent-updates-to-the-oe...

'gunna'. Is it still wrong?

--original comment--

Common usage does eventually lead to validity, though. Language is not static and evolves through usage. Besides, how are you going to measure validity? Is the OED the sole arbiter of what's "correct"? Common usage and mutual understanding is a great way to determine what's "correct" in a language.

I won't debate the legal usage of the word, as there was no mention of legal interpretation by the courts in the previous comments. However you are correct from a legal perspective where words have specific meanings.
So what, in the above "wall of text", is wrong about

Maybe just check the responses from the last fifteen dozen times? It's not that hard.

You're not telling what was incorrect, just that the
author is _always_ incorrect, which strikes me as
hyperbole.

I'm not telling anything. The Scala and Ceylon designers did. They probably know better than me, or him.
Well anyways, I don't think the question of "cheap" vs. "expensive" is really appropriate when talking about market dynamics. Many market participants think explicitly in terms of how much momentum they think is left in the given trend.
Tech companies in general are underated.

One of the things that is going on IMO is that the media in constant need for something to write about started honing in on startups because their growth is much more steep and create a lot of notable events they can write about.

And so when we hear about companies being overvalued it's a specific group of companies who give us that impression.

Eh, I get why my phrasing might make it sound like they had a totally separate collections hierarchy; you're right, they don't. But I'd count the changes you list--especially the extension methods, which basically provide an entire Java 8-streams-like API that runs comfortably on top of even Android's superannuated Java--as a collections library in its own right. (Hell, even the fixes they do at the compiler level to maps makes the entire collections API feel a lot more like .NET, with its reified generics, and a lot less like Java's weird situation.)

Getting into the debate would have had a huge impact? I disbelieve.

I think it reflects poorly on Lessig's judgment that he even considers himself qualified for the Presidency. If he wants to advance a view on a single political issue, running for leader of the free world is kinda overkill, and there's also no evidence that him becoming President would have the slightest impact on the issue Lessig cares about, unless he also plans to magically abolish the Republican House.

He has no political experience, and it sure shows. He should have tried running for the House, or even the open Senate seat in CA.

That's one major difference, the other is the maturity of the industry.

In 2000 the online tech industry was fledgling, and most of it was vapor. The bubble was bigger than the entire industry. Today tech has grown across the board and the web has become a key pillar of that growth. Trillions of dollars in real value has been built and added to the economy of the world. As big as any bubble might be, the industry is so much larger and on such firmer footing today that a collapse wouldn't have nearly the same impact.

Secrecy actually makes it more likely that terms reflect correct valuations, as long as each of the firms have independent decision making power and see a wide variety of deals. See eg. The Wisdom of Crowds, which found that a group makes better decisions than an individual iff each individual relies on their own data and comes to their own decision. If one individual unduly influences others' decision-making (eg. the "YC stamp of approval" which inflates valuations at demo day), then you get information cascades that can lead to exaggerated boom/bust cycles. If the parties left in the dark lack decision-making ability and independent information channels (eg. Theranos), you get information asymmetry and a market for lemons. But a market where each firm sees a continuous stream of deals and independently decides on each one without any regard for its competitors is pretty much the definition of a competitive market, which implies prices should converge toward accuracy very quickly. I'd argue that that's much closer to the situation now than it was in 2000.
Perhaps it has to do with the amount of money that's being invested in these late rounds. When you're doing 10k angel rounds, you spread the money around and hope one of the companies take off. When you're investing tens of millions of dollars at nine and ten figure valuations, you do so more conservatively in a way that is more likely to guarantee a return. They're not saying they don't believe in the companies at this point - in fact, you can almost argue that they're saying these late-stage companies are definitely good for the money - but more so that the companies at this point are less likely to make astronomical gains.

I wouldn't call that a very compelling argument about why nosh is better than launchd. So what if previous attempts to port launchd failed when this port(NextBSD) appears to be working. So far I've seen several people on hacker news say that nosh is a better alternative to launchd, but I haven't seen any specifics, right now it just seems like politics.

> No one seems to fervently believe tech valuations are cheap, so it’d be somewhat surprising if we were in a bubble.

I'm nitpicking a great post here, but I'm not sure this statement is right.

During the real-estate bubble and the dot-com bubble, seemingly few people actually thought houses or internet companies were cheap.

I think people felt that they were expensive, but they bought them anyway on the assumption that they would sell to the greater fool.
I think when in the hot seat most actors gravitate toward a status quo equilibrium. The left presidents will lean a little more right, the right will lean a little more left. Obama took us to Syria, would you have guessed he would do that when he was campaigning?

I think Gore would have been walked into Iraq warring and more by his advisers.
Why doesn't the EPA simply ban the sale of any car manufactured by VW until they start passing the new emissions tests? Even better, begin requiring previously purchased VW cars pass these emissions tests. If the cars don't pass the new emissions tests then VW is required to reimburse the blue book value of the car for false advertising, fraud, and acting in bad faith.
Sure. But that doesn't pardon VW/Porsche of cheating when other vendors did not.

Unless this is the tip of the iceberg and everyone is cheating but hasn't been caught yet...
mostly in the logging, it's hard to get anything truly meaningful when shit hits the fan, I even studied the man pages fairly religiously but because the native application had it's own logging mechanism which was removed by the distro maintainer/packager (fedora) it took a while to realise and reenable. this is the first listed not because it's a big deal but it cost me a day of work, which is hard to explain to my boss.

There are multiple issues in how it handles networking, notably that 802.3a/d bonding is kinda broken and nobody seems to give a crap, which means using it in production is somewhat dangerous for me, the same way that loading modules breaks, gets fixed then rebreaks in odd ways (lsmod/modprobe)

the fact that nobody seems to give a crap about the previous bug, and that bugs get introduced and the developers hostile attitude also rubs me wrong.

FirewallD is a shitshow, and yes it can be disabled, but that doesn't mean that it's -not- going to be the officially supported method of interfacing with netfilter in the kernel.

I've had systems become unbootable because systemd introduced a bug which caused it to segfault and I couldn't "revert" the change like I would with a bad kernel, but this is the cloud era and I should really be adopting ephemeral builds- but if it ever happened on a stageful machine I'd be angry, I can HA all I want but I want to be able to recover and more robustness is significantly better than less.

My problems are fewer because I never wanted to touch systemd, I've been skeptical and rewarded somewhat for my skepticism when i actually started using it out of curiosity or because I really hate being on the previous version of a thing.

Actually, what I really hate most is not the issues I've had, new systems often have warts and we should encourage discussion to get them fixed.. not shut them down when problems are shown because there _are_ problems.. my issue is how under-represented other init systems are, I didn't like systemd and was basically told (by developers, mostly) to "suck it up" and to stop "getting in the way of progress", and while I've never tried to defend sysVinit, I was always keen to have a discussion about a _well engineered_ solution to this would be.. somehow SystemD has taken over and it's more windowsy than we imagined and growing daily.. it even has a bootloader now.

Nosh is a cleaner implemented init system and so is SMF, they fix a problem and do so well..

systemd works great on my laptop though! (arch linux)

SEEKING WORK - Princeton, NJ; Remote

Hi! I'm Julius and I do freelance iOS development and run the agency, JayMobile. We mostly write iOS apps but we also do backend API development.

I'm currently doing bookings for January 2016 and beyond.

Recently I've completed some cool projects, which you can check out here: http://jaymobile.io/portfolio/

P.S. One of the projects I've just completed is the Daily Burn tvOS app, which is currently being demoed inside of Apple Stores! Be sure to check it out the next time you visit one of the stores: https://twitter.com/jparishy/status/660109681826885632

Other than Daily Burn, I've recently completed two iOS apps, On The Regimen & KidsTrade. Earlier this year I wrote the Charlie iOS app, which you may have seen at the top of Product Hunt when it was released. Prior to starting my business, I worked for Fitocracy, where I wrote both of their iOS apps.

In addition to my iOS work, you may also recognize http://www.runswiftlang.com/ and http://testapns.com/ which are two of my side projects.

Here's my contact info: julius@jaymobile.io

Definitely reach out if you're interested in working with me & my team to create an awesome iOS app.

Death Rates Rising for Middle-Aged White Americans
It's the perfect way to capture revenue from a somewhat niche audience that has a strong demand for the content. 72 bucks a year for Star Trek is a no brainer compared to other star trek fan spending.

It's how sports leagues fund their streaming: you pay a lot for the content. Sure not many sign up, but the real fans more than make up for it.

The real problem I foresee is the large overlap in star trek fandom and internet pirates.
> nosh is far with the base system rc scripts, but ports... oh, ports...

I recommend reading the nosh Guide. It has a whole chapter on creating service bundles, and lays out in detail the three-pronged approach to ports that nosh enables. This is just a précis.

* run scripts are short and simple. One can just write one for a port. It can be a shell script, a perl script, a python program, an execline script, a nosh script, or something else.

* You'll find that ports are growing systemd unit files. Indeed, they not only are but have been. The writing has been on the wall about this development for some years, now, and it's well into actually happening. The nosh toolset includes a mechanism that can take the majority of such unit files and generate a native service bundle from them.

* One can just take the stuff that's already out there and that's already supplied. Recently the 157 rc.d scripts part of the project has hit the Russian news. That's only part of the story, though. Read the nosh Guide, and you'll find pointers to four prominent collections of daemontools/runit scripts that have existed for years. Look into the package itself, and you'll find almost four hundred service bundles pre-made and supplied in the box. Which of course feeds into the first approach: One can take an existing service bundle for a similar program and adapt it.
It is sad that this was necessary, and we can just hope that Michael will be able to post a serious answer to this debacle.

If I want to share a diagram with Patrick on our internal Slack --- which we set up in under 10 minutes --- I select the diagram on my desktop and drag it into the window for the Slack channel. Everyone on that channel sees the diagram immediately.

I do not give a shit what Slack's buttons look like. I can't do that with IRC. Even if we're all standardized on a modern OSX IRC client, we're still going to end up "sharing" URLs.
perhaps, but T-Rowe Price needs to match a benchmark. So if benchmark rises 10x and they only get 2x, they will suffer quite a bit. More likely, they expect this company to go public way before hitting the 3x mark.
