The concern I have with DNSSEC is that if it's adopted --- where "adopted" means "by the major email providers and by browsers" --- there's not much you can do to protect yourself from the SIGINT agencies that control the top of the DNS tree.

If there was a significant benefit to users for DNSSEC adoption, I'd be my normal tedious "maybe it's good, maybe it's bad" self. But the benefits aren't there. Instead, DNSSEC will impose immense operational costs and in some ways reduce security:

Firefox on Android is as "proper" as it gets. It uses Gecko, not Webkit.

When I read it, it felt more like it was putting structure around for what already existed in the form of Second Market (which NASDAQ recently bought). Second Market was where FB employees were selling their stock before FB went public, and caused the stock valuation to settle on what would essentially be the public offering price.

Given the different share rights of preferred and common stock in a pre-IPO company, selling common shares does not look anything at all like an "investment round" in the typical sense. It does however impact the 409a valuation and could cause new employees to get a higher strike price on their options when they join.

Reddit basically has the exact same behavior -- with deeply engaged user bases around each external link talking about it and forming rather cohesive "communities" around each topic...

Yet they have a tough time monetizing that.

Why hasn't a twitter or a reddit sought to get rev share from the traffic they drive from the resultant pages? (I don't know enough about adrev/rev-share to know if this would work) -- but reddit and twitter know exactly how many people click on each link.

One thing I would like to know is the diff in % of users that click into a comments session without ever clicking on the actual link. I know that I do this as amajority of the way I read reddit and HN even. I get the gist from the title, some additional details from the comments and sometimes other, better links from users as well as commentary, corrections or what not.

I also upvote an extremely few number of posts and stories. How many times have I clicked a link or read comments about a post without ever upvoting or down voting it? Probably about 90%

what is your most upvoted comment?
Generally there are two approaches:

1) Hourly (most common) - determine what the standard rate is per hour for this kind of work in your area, then charge that, making an allowance (read: discount) for your level of skill. This may or may not be done using a "fixed price" estimate, meaning you will charge for X number of hours no matter how long it actually takes you. I'm not in your area, but my guess is that the fair market value of these services is probably in the $75-$150 range, depending on your level of expertise.

2) Value - determine the fair market value of the final output to the client and base your rate upon that estimate. This is more difficult and prone to be influenced by factors you may not be aware of (ie, if this person's relative implemented the site for free, they may attach an unreasonable expectation of value to the proposed change).

As I have progressed in my freelancing career I have found that one of the first set questions I always ask after having the client explain a request to me are:

1. What is your budget. Making them start off the conversation about cost helps set expectations and allows me to immediately reject the request if their expectations are out of line with both the fair market value and my other active projects.

2. What is your timetable. When a client needs a request done quickly and I have to reschedule already planned work to acommodate their request, I charge a premium for a rush job. This is analogous to the way such requests are handled in other media segments like print, video, and audio production.

I feel like sortition is much closer to direct democracy because the distortion is limited by the law of large numbers and can be exactly calculated. Of course this excludes things like people feeling like participating, which happens in direct democracy but not in sortition.
No.

When I search on google I am getting the results I am looking for and I am only there because I am looking for something. Google uses their knowledge of my intent to give me highly targeted results. It cannot be highlighted enough how big a difference that is from twitter. I am not passively looking at random search results streaming in.

On twitter I am served with a combination of things most of them not really interesting to me and always depending on someone having tweeted them.

The big difference is that google knows your intent at the very moment you are using it. Twitter don't.

They are as different as day and night.

While the OP's tone may have been a bit brash, it is true that this policy smacks of anti-competitive practice. Recall the (often quoted) Ma Bell rhetoric: "You may have any color you like... as long as it's black". The same applies to browsers on iOS: "You may use any browser you want... as long as it's WebkitWebView". When Microsoft did this same exact thing; building IE into the OS, people freaked! And I believe they used the same "It's to protect you" line. You may not care, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have a "run untrusted browser" option.

Also called random sample voting.

http://cdd.stanford.edu/

http://rsvoting.org/

>Random-sample voting can be used locally, nationally, regionally, or even globally, with results that are more irrefutable than with current elections but at less than one-thousandth of the cost.
> The law of large number makes sure the randomness in sortition is limited and predictable. Whereas with elections there is a big number of arbitrary factors that greatly can influence the results.

With elections, there are constraints which make deviations from the preference of the electorate less likely the greater the salience of the issue is. Sortition distributes the issues on which the decisionmakers deviate from the represented population randomly, which means that salience of the issue does not affect the likelihood of deviation between the decisionmakers and the represented population.

This is a significant weakness in sortition compared to elections, that needs to be weighed against whatever advantages are identified for it.

Like I responded to the parallel commenter, I think social issues are driven by technology level, not the other way around. We have privacy issues because computing and the Internet, and we may solve them if the technology allows us, but I have a feeling it won't. All of history and numerous attempts at appealing to force change in people's characters (many of them ending bloody) tells us that, sans brainwashing[0], you can't make people do something else than whatever makes sense for them in their conditions by just asking nicely.

Society seems to be reaching a stable state given a particular technology level it has. As long as giving away privacy means people can get the things they want and need easier, they will give away privacy. Most people won't give up their Facebook or e-mail, or start learning how to do PGP because some vague notion of "privacy". OTOH, if the process reaches the point when giving away privacy actually starts to hurt them in a visible way, they'll start caring.

By the way, secrecy of correspondence is just a courtesy. Your letters don't get opened on the way because you live in a prospering state where people have better things to do than read your mail and couldn't care less about you personally. It wasn't and it isn't always the case; there are still countries in which you'd better not send money in an envelope.

We may, and will, develop some limits around individual privacy that will be similar to the privacy of correspondence - i.e. just courtesy. But it's important to recognize them for what they really are.

[0] - I don't mean that in a pejorative sense, but rather in a technical one. I grew up in a religion that is pretty serious about its beliefs and values. Most of the members were sincerely trying to improve their own characters, and would rather suffer horribly than lie or steal from a stranger. I saw that it's entirely possible to rewrite even scumbags to be like sheep, willing to help and improve lives of others, but it comes at a cost of accepting a particular belief system and joining close-knit communities that frequently remind themselves of their values and reasons for following them.

HN: the title should really be money --> currency which is what Tim is really saying.
I think the author is talking about minor variations on Lisp syntax that include indentation-sensitivity, not about different languages that are homoiconic. Such variant syntaxes include i-expressions (http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-49/srfi-49.html) and sweet-expressions (http://readable.sourceforge.net/), which the author mentions in the Acknowledgements. For example, here are some sweet-expressions:

define factorial(n)
if {n <= 1}
1
* n factorial(- n 1)

This desugars to:

(define (factorial n)
(if (<= n 1)
1
(* n (factorial (- n 1)))))

I think the Lisp power that the author is referring to is homoiconicity, and the corresponding ease of writing macros. For example, i-expressions sacrifice homoiconicity in some contexts.

But the author seems to have overlooked that sweet-expressions, which were developed later, do not sacrifice homoiconicity. A human reader can still easily understand the AST from reading sweet-expression syntax. The real reasons that sweet-expressions have faltered relate more to the increased difficulty of collaborating with other developers, the lack of editor plugins that highlight sweet-expressions correctly, and incompatibility with Clojure syntax.

Lessons from the Rails Rumble
"But rights depend upon 'personal sentiment or arbitrary morals' all the time. Who I rent out my upstairs room to - I'll decide. Which clubs I join; what movie theatres I frequent. And these things have economic/social impact beyond me - the theatre will close if it doesn't show movies acceptable to a large enough population etc."

Economics doesn't factor into law. SCOTUS on the matter of Equal Protection has already spoken so economies adjust to legal realities (not vice versa).

"So we argue about 'privilege' like that can make a difference. Its at root, the majority vs minorities. The game will always be slanted toward the majority, because free market etc."

Privilege in racism is the concept that you and I based on our ethnicity can take certain conditions for granted. For example, I'm white so I rarely feel need to change my behavior when a police patrol car passes me on the road but a person of color is acutely aware of the situation and must act above/beyond what the well adjusted citizen should act (more polite, more timid). Privilege is the freedom to not notice a power disparity since you have all the power or the social norms in your favor to acquire it. Markets don't factor into it either. Markets are the affect of social orders not their cause.

"We have folks making up rules on every side; inventing new words and theories and constructs. And shouting down folks from other viewpoints. Its all designed to impede real dialog."

Okay, I'm not going too mean here but do you realize that POC aren't a position of power, right? If I get caught with a blunt I'm more likely to get a slap on the wrist since I'm white versus a person of color who may get a judge who'll throw the book at them. Just by being white I have a statistically better chance of lesser sentence for just about any crime.

Just because POC say mean things to you on Twitter or to your face doesn't equate being shouted down. They (and you) have a right to not associate nor to consider any ideas if they (and you) so wish. So, please don't assume the "truth is the middle." It's time for people to just accept that the truth in this matter be it racial equality or LGBT (emphasis on the T imo) rights is very clear. The only debate should be on how best to handle the injustices in question.

No, it can't. The likelihood of a particular degree of distortion (sampling error) can be exactly calculated; the actual degree of distortion cannot.

SVG getTransformToElement() polyfill for JointJS/Rappid
The article doesn't define the "open web," and platforms like Facebook and Twitter would seem to mostly follow the dictates set out in Tantek's original definition.[1] So it's hard to guess at what the author means -- Facebook and Twitter aren't "the open web" by tautology, basically. It's really hard to engage with the author's arguments that way.

What is trivial to understand is that the author's proposed remedy doesn't work:

> The answer is simple, but it isn’t easy. We need to stop pretending that content is free. Publications need to ask readers to pay for their content directly, and readers need to be willing to give up money, as opposed to their privacy and attention. This means that publications will have to abandon the rapid-growth business models driven by display ads, which have driven them to rely on Facebook for millions of pageviews a month.

The fundamental problem with this is that siloing content the way the author suggests (publications with strong identities and paywalls to get readers to give money in exchange for content) breaks hyperlinks. It breaks sharing. Paywalls work when there's a marginal benefit to knowing something that someone else doesn't -- say, it helps you pick stocks better than the next guys. Otherwise, all else being equal, the article I can share with my friends, link to in my blog post, that I can engage with and respond to and have other people able to read the same article I am -- that's far more valuable than the article that I can read but can't share. We didn't get here because we're all stupid, or because people are unwilling to pay for anything ever. We got here because we were trying to come up with a model that allows people who make content to be compensated for it without betraying the fundamental thing that made the Web the Web -- the hyperlink. If your proposed alternative business model doesn't even TRY to engage with the question of linking and sharing, it's not going to work.
