Employer-employee loyalties have also disintegrated during that same time period. I phrase it that way specifically because it is a two-way street, and I haven't done the research to know exactly how it broke down. As an employee, who stay with a company that doesn't invest in my future? As an employer, why invest in an employee that's just going to leave at the first higher offer?

Lack of trust and loyalty is a self-reinforcing pattern that must be broken by someone taking the first step, knowing that they might get burned.

Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years. Further, excessive drinking was responsible for 1 in 10 deaths among working-age adults aged 20-64 years. The economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption in 2010 were estimated at $249 billion, or $2.05 a drink.

So alcohol causes 10x the amount of deaths per year, and when you factor in economic damages caused by people operating machinery, driving, hurting themselves when drunk it seems like heroin abuse is neither a "much more fatal problem" nor a much more widespread problem than alcoholism. Faster growing, yes.

It's far from optimal for deployment, though, as you still occasionally depend on that WP site, and then have the hassle of handling availability etc.

I wish more CMSs would support exporting all changes directly, so that you could e.g. rsync the sites out to edge servers or a CDN and be able to use it for full failover too without suddenly having stuff expire from the caches at the most inconvenient times.

Movable Type used to be able to export everything to flat files, for example (though, I guess more out of necessity back in a world where not everyone would have a host that could/would provide PHP).

I just started redoing my blog to iterate over all the pages and wrapping my Sinatra app to fake requests to generate a full static copy that way. Lets me optionally serve it up dynamically when writing, and then generate a static copy. It's just a few hours dirty hack for now, but I'll be doing this more often - it's so nice to have most of the content completely stateless.

Any chance of not requiring access to the whole contact list? I think there are pickers that allow selecting one contact - or better yet, one could allow adding contacts inside Signal.

Society is not an invention. It is the name we give the emergent dynamics among a group of interacting individuals. It can be said to exist objectively (and is not present when describing a collection of individuals that do not interact).

Also, note that I didn't say that private property is "nothing more" than a social construct. I said it is a social construct, and as a social construct it's a lot, because that's all there is for most if not all our values, and that's plenty. But, being a social construct, it cannot apriori take precedence over other social constructs (like the value of fairness).

Now, in general, the question of "rights" is a hard one, because obviously there is nothing to give anything a right. A right is a common (perhaps universal) shared value, sometimes with extrinsic justifications but most of the time without (in the end, it's hard to ascribe a truly objective value to anything in the universe, as you quickly get to circular dependencies of values). But, it is not a bad starting point to assume that all rights originate in social convention, and those conventions, in turn, are based on human psychology and circumstance. This too is an incomplete description, because we haven't established the boundaries of the fixed/universal portion of human psychology, and much of it is well known to be a product (through a feedback loop) of social convention...

Neuropolitics: Where campaigns try to read your mind
There are two very important things that would need to be factored in before we start to better understand what is going on.

1) We need to understand that we live in a global economy not a national one. One of the key elements to understanding this global economy would probably be to look at something like Supply Chain Management. I.e. the productivity of china should be closely tied with an understand of US economy. They aren't separate anymore than two computers connected via a network is.

2) We need to find a way to factor in technology, digitalization and automatization instead of treating it as the externality it is today, by almost all economic thinkers.

Especially those who advice countries and central banks. It is one of the key components in understanding what is going on. And before we find a way to factor that in, we will keep fighting in the blind.

Until then we will have this fruitless idealistic fight between Keynes and Austerity and not get to the heart of the discussion.

Silly question. When have humans ever really cared about the environment over capitalism? Sure, we saved the whales, but that was only after petroleum mined from the ground removed the main reason we were killing whales. Palm oil is way cheaper than the alternatives, and we have a exceedingly poor history of choosing more expensive, yet more environmentally friendly alternatives.

If we actually managed to preserve the Indonesian rainforests in the face of global capitalism, that would be unprecedented in the history of the human race. The question isn't why we haven't, but how in the world could we?

Hell, the Chinese government can't even stop their own people from wanting rhino horns. And it's not for lack of trying.
Can't we define 'vigilante' to be a response that's not commensurate with the crime? A lack of justice, if you will. In that view, its quite debatable if no justice would not be better.

Thanks for the answer, but if you don't care about this use case, then I think I'll just use a different application that does.

The things I don't like about Signal / Textsecure are:

- Requires Google / Apple services

- No easy way to self host

- Accounts bound to a phone number

- No desktop client ("Being worked on" for months now...)

All these things can be solved for me by using XMPP with Conversations on Android.

So maybe the right thing to do is to stop complaining. Signal / Textsecure is just meant for other people than me.

"I'd love to see services overtake natural resources as a main export because it would be more sustainable" ... this was always something that bothered me with the Harper government, this complacency to rely on the resource sector. But then, another part of me feels like this is also a cultural problem, Canada was funded on exporting its resources and has always evolved like this, from fur trade, to wood, to oil ... There is the MARs initiative in Toronto, but I don't what it will lead to.

I really feel like funding/moving startups that don't require a specific geography could gain in Canada. Maybe the currency needs to stabilize first.

"American money around here if only to teach the crusty old guard what it means to be innovative"...I totally agree, I deal with big vendors, and smaller alternatives would be great.

But it took years for leaded gasoline, asbestos, and freon to be replaced. And that only happened because they were made illegal or regulated out of certain uses, not because a better alternative existed that the market preferred.

No. The error is more subtle; it's wrong to equate "weight" with "health". Humans are well adapted to protect their health, and if put on a diet which will kill them, they'll usually stop following it. You see that they stopped following their diet, and regained weight. What you don't see is the counterfactual, where if they kept following the diet, they would've developed non-weight-related health problems and possibly died.
without government (i.e. socialist, for the greater good of the population) oversight

But the Indonesians have a government that claims to be operating "for the greater good of the population". Clearly, they're not doing so, at least in significant cases.

Political science and economics understands many of the reasons for such failures. And it's not due to the label you put on the government. Whatever *ist you choose to call it, it's operated by people, and they're subject to the very same incentives and motivations. Putting a sainted "socialist" hat on doesn't make the politicians immune to these. Look into the field of "public choice economics" for more understanding of this.

Indeed, the worst crimes against humanity in all of history have been perpetrated by socialist governments claiming to be socialist, and working for the good of their people. Giving the government additional powers to protect you is functionally identical to giving the government additional powers to exploit you. You'll need some way to guard against that, and the good intentions of those believing in an "-ism" aren't sufficient.

Yeah you can't use anything else that Red Hat uses like CentOS (which Red Hat saved) or use Fedora. Heck even Oracle rips off Red Hat and calls it Oracle Linux. I don't see your point.
until recently the market for these exploits was for jailbreaking. Apple didnt need to pay for the exploit, just wait until it was released and then patch it. Buying the exploit does nothing for them and actually allowing jailbreaks means more people buy iPhones (because they can jailbreak) then they have to decide whether they want new features or jailbreak features. Either way the are in Apple's ecosystem and have paid apple some money.

These days the exploits are wanted by companies like Hacking Team or agencies like NSA, I dont see there being too many more free jailbreak exploits being released as a result.

edit: Also if Apple doubled their bug bounty they would be paying 2 * $0.00

Based off of your website, I can't really see the difference between Baqqer and all the other crowdfunding websites. You should definitely explain your idea of engaging your audience through every piece of the pipeline up front. I think that's what makes you different from every other crowdfunding website around.

Also, as a maker, it's not that I want to "Crowdfund my Passion". What I would really love to do as an inventor is to bring "My Idea to Life" and hopefully be successful at it.

The fact that I don't see any projects and I don't know how much I could potentially raise is a red flag to me.

Good luck!
Thoughts on Old Software–Why We Need Documentation
One static site CMS that I know of is:
http://www.webhook.com/

It's open source. Design and content is edited collaboratively and it deploys a static site.

Are there any other CMS systems designed to deploy static sites?
A successful open-source project is also about building a community of third-party contributors. Or at least the possibility of one such community happening. Dual licensing basically kills off that discussion, because in order for dual licensing to work, then contributors need to sign a contributors agreement that licenses their work for whatever purpose the parent company sees fit.

And this is where I've always disagreed with FSF's stance. Many people claim that GPL is inadequate because of the "ASP loophole". But a much bigger loophole is dual licensing. This is because dual licensing happens (and is useful) only when the product is unusable as open-source. For example Gitorious is AGPL licensed and does not need dual licensing because you know, it's meant for people to have an on-premise solution for Git hosting and it's a take it or leave it thing. A Javascript library on the other hand is totally useless as AGPL. Dual licensing is also what made Qt and consequently KDE to be less popular than Gtk+ and Gnome in distributions such as Red Hat's or Ubuntu, or why popular project such as Firefox or LibreOffice are better integrated with Gtk+/Gnome, even though Qt has always been technically superior. Heck, Qt's licensing is why Gtk+/Gnome happened in the first place.

You see, the biggest advantage of open-source, its raison d'être if you will, is the possibility to fork. But if a fork cannot survive because of licensing reasons, maybe because it cannot be applied to the same projects as the original, then that's not really open-source.

Personally I prefer the open core. For example I currently work with Scala and the JVM and I use IntelliJ IDEA as my IDE. It has a community edition with everything I need. Yet I pay for the Ultimate edition anyway. If the community edition gets discontinued, I'll switch in a heartbeat.
There are a few projects that will take a tree of source code and generate HTML, like LXR:

In the teams I worked with, there was thankfully no Perl-generated anything (but I know my boss had to deal with that with a couple of the other teams reporting in to him). We had plenty of Perl on the backend, though, and the US billing team constantly breathing down our neck to do their OneRewriteToBindThemAll in PHP (they had been working on that for a while when I joined in 2003, and were still working on it when I left beginning of 2006; it was a laudable goal - there were something like 8 billing systems worldwide at that point - but it took them a lot of time to figure out how to unify all the international requirements).

The funny thing was that on the instances I heard Rasmus talk, he complained we were taking it too far - he wanted simple PHP templates, not the kind of large PHP applications the US billing team and others were doing. He sounded quite exasperated about it last time I was at one of his talks.
I'll concede the point since "invasion" implies the large ground force and land occupation, and democrats seem to favor death from above. I do think that Iraq would still have been invaded sometime, given that repaving the country was on the bipartisan national agenda. Those rats in W's cabinet would have been waiting in the wings for 4 more years.

Fundamentally I'm not going to support terrible event A in an attempt to stop terrible event B from happening, especially when there is a large contingent
of people with different priorities doing the reverse. That's a setup for manufacturing popular support for a lot of terrible events.

The trick with palm oil is that it is in so many products you might not even know it. Food, beauty products, industrial usage and the majority of names used in the ingredients doesn't even contain 'palm' in it for most cases. The other historic cases you made were easily identified and segregated by product or end-use.
Indonesia and Malaysia, normally at odds with each other on certain subjects, are forming a palm oil cartel to even further push for global usage of the product that has brought them money without regards to the environment.
