I know I am not supposed to, but I laughed at this one :p

One of my former colleagues used to put weird error messages (made up words mostly, but really funny to pronounce). One of these messages escaped QA and went to a customer - but this was a nice guy, and he called up and asked what that word means (it was a while ago, can't remember the word now).

We didn't have anything to do one afternoon, so we searched google maps for names of funny places - there is a town called Hell. Imagine going there and reading the sign "Welcome to Hell". Good times were had at that job :p
They actually started out as a wood pulp mill (powered by rapids at a river called Nokia) in 1868. This expanded to a paper factory in 1880 and a cellulose factory in 1885 and later on a rubber factory, and then a cable factory, and the telecoms came up as a spin-off of cable manufacturing (starting with modems).

The pulp mill site looks like this today:

I worked in a Nokia R&D house that was built in Espoo in 1975; it had been constructed with a 10 tons per square meter load rating in three floors so that "if this silly electronics thing doesn't take off, we can always bring in the cable machines."

The name Nokia comes from the name of the river, which in turn supposedly comes from a reference to "noki" (soot) as it is a pre-historic trading site of black skins of fur.
There is an important part of the multisig puzzle missing in the article: the need for an out of band protocol to communicate copayers for joining a wallet and spending bitcoins. This is something that Copay (https://copay.io) does but there is no standard way to do this.

There are other issues. For example, Coinbase doesn't support it fully. See this thread for more info: https://twitter.com/coinfabrik/status/661992065841123328 but other wallet services like Coinkite does: http://blog.coinfabrik.com/independently-generating-your-pri...
That would have been an argument when Babel was still 6to5.

Babel supports all kinds of extensions to ES including ES proposals and extensions like JSX or type annotations.
What are "raptors"?
Yes GNU spends a lot of time improving performance. A couple of examples from the most recent release, which you might think were too simple to optimize significantly:

The yes command (which is generally useful for generating repetitive text):

$ yes-old | pv > /dev/null ^C
... 55.8MiB/s ...
$ yes-new | pv > /dev/null ^C
... 3.44GiB/s ...

Details on that fairly simple change are at http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h...

Also we more than doubled the speed of wc -l (by avoiding function call overhead):

$ yes | pv | wc-old -l ^C
... 230MiB/s ...
$ yes | pv | wc-new -l ^C
... 558MiB/s ...

Also we now generate an infinite stream of integers more efficiently too:

$ seq-old inf | pv > /dev/null ^C
... 13.3MiB/s ...
$ seq-new inf | pv > /dev/null ^C
... 497MiB/s ...

"The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt." This is the point Bertrand was making. Stupid people believe so deeply that it gives them power to act. The intelligent is so obsessed with the minutia of possible difference- like whether increased knowledge is good or bad - That we suffer from permanent analysis paralysis. We're impotent when action is required.

That issue is back from when Babel was still called 6to5.

Babel didn't support JSX, decorators or type annotations. Now it does. Babel 6 is even more modular, lending itself even more to extension than Babel 5 did before.

There's nothing stopping MS from adding TS extensions to Babel.
Here's a similar recommendation from the World Health Organization:

> A new WHO guideline recommends adults and children reduce their daily intake of free sugars to less than 10% of their total energy intake. A further reduction to below 5% or roughly 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day would provide additional health benefits.

> Free sugars refer to monosaccharides (such as glucose, fructose) and disaccharides (such as sucrose or table sugar) added to foods and drinks by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, and sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates.

> The WHO guideline does not refer to the sugars in fresh fruits and vegetables, and sugars naturally present in milk, because there is no reported evidence of adverse effects of consuming these sugars.

> Reducing free sugars intake to less than 10% of total daily energy intake was recommended by the WHO Study Group for the first time in 1989 and was further elaborated by a joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation in 2002. This new updated WHO guideline calls for further reduction of free sugars intake to less than 5% of total energy intake if possible.

Ideas like that are often mentioned here when related topics come up but they are almost surly totally wrong. Computing means doing something in several steps and that is - as far as we can tell - absolutely not what the universe is doing. Even if the universe did something like that it would just mean that there is another layer below evolving in a more fundamental way.

Many people seem pretty confused when physicist talk about things like the black hole information paradox. We think that all physical processes are reversible which means that distinct physical states will always remain distinct. If state A and state B could or would evolve into the same state C this assumption would no longer hold because you could no longer tell whether you arrived at state C from state A or B. The laws of physics would not be time reversible.

And this is the sense in which physicist talk about information, the description of the state space. If you throw something into a black hole the only things that remain visible are things like the mass, the charge or the (angular) momentum but you just lost all the details about the thing you threw into the black hole which is a problem for our understanding of physics.

"not in a rush" -- that's something else worth mentioning. Most reasonable MTM tailors will still take 1mo+ to deliver your suit, and it's frequently more like 2mo. Bespoke isn't really much, if any, slower.

To your point about quality -- I'm actually at a point in my life where I can afford and am willing to spend a bit on American made products (e.g. shoes, suiting) and do where practical. Even though the mills aren't here (Loro Piana, Elgin, Isaia, etc), at least the rest is.
You need a synthesis tool - and there are open source alternatives. You need a cell library - a direct derivative of knowing a bitstream format. You need a place and route tool - as soon as format is known such tools would appear (as it happened with ice40). You need timing analysis, probably the hardest piece for community to produce without having an insider knowledge enjoyed by the vendors.

All this stuff, including the libraries, can be pretty compact. There is no justification whatsoever for the ISE and Vivado bloat. The essential tools should be very compact. There are multiple copies of a microblaze toolchain, for example. WTF? I need none exactly. Zero. Nil. Stop bundling all the crap, please! Put it in a separate package so everybody could happily ignore it.
The general public sees fruit juices and smoothies as healthy. Public Health England had to issue advice asking people to limit their juice consumption and telling them not to count it as more than one of their "five a day".
I was responding particularly to:

> it is probably a warning sign if everyone thinks your idea is good straight away as then it is likely that someone else has had it and is working on it, or there is some fundamental flaw that you have missed.

I can't get to the original at the moment so my comment is specific to this comment thread's context.

I'll just leave my favorite economics joke:

Two economists were walking down the sidewalk discussing their recent research when one looks down and sees a $20 bill.

"Look, a $20!" says one, slowing to bend down and retrieve it.

"Impossible," replied the second, stopping the first mid-bend, "if there was a $20 bill on the ground, someone would have already found it and picked it up."
The irony is that nowadays most spam I get is from @gmail or @yahoo addresses, so all they've accomplished is lock-in.
definitely recommend waveapps.com in that case. Free plan and no limit on number of customers or invoices, does receipts and links to your bank account, pretty much everything you need as a sole trader it seems!
And honestly, a lot of ideas were terrible until they were executed. It was only through the process of exploration & execution that a practical use or market emerged & evolved from the original spark.
Hmm. Maybe. (re: execution being the multiplier) I'm not completely convinced either way, I guess.

if you tell me a truly good idea I will steal it from you

I think perhaps most people don't have a list, like you do (even unofficially in their heads). Most people are too busy with their own ideas to bother with others, even if they really are great. I suppose if you have a criteria for measuring the quality of the idea, as you do, then you can make objective decisions about an idea based on its actual merits (as defined by your criteria) rather than gut feeling or wanting to work on your own stuff.

I suppose what I'm saying is that most ideas are cheap because most people don't have a good way of objectively measuring their value beyond executing and seeing how it goes.

Note though that I've usually heard it as "ideas are cheap", not "ideas have no value" -- despite what I might have said in my previous comments :D
Of course they aren't the same, and all your statements are true, and "Uber for Food" also isn't the same, but the ultimate challenge will be the logistics problem (they admitted that their ultimate problem was logistics), and this problem is equivalent for all three. If you solve this problem for Food, you can beat Uber, beat anything else, just on this one algorithm, or you can offer your algorithm to Uber and other services.

Problem can be defined as pickup and delivery, on the fly, or offline (knowing all of the orders in advance). If you solve the on the fly, you've solved the offline problem. Picking up people, or food, delivering people, or food, problem in its essence ignores the subject and optimizes the pickup/delivery.
Just because it's in the RFC does not mean it will be obeyed.

I tried running postgrey - a system that rejects senders it doesn't recognise, tells them to "try again in a minute", and accepts the second email. The theory being that spammers rarely check for these responses because they operate on a "fire and forget" basis. In reality it didn't work because lots of email services didn't correctly respond to the "try again in a minute" response - which is in the RFC!

Maybe it's an extreme example. You expect an SMTP server not to be up all the time, you don't expect them to randomly reject mail and ask you to try again later, but you get my point. It just adds to the stress/worry. I found myself default to Gmail a lot of the time for this reason.
What you are raising is the important point that most ideas are not that good, but people hold onto them because they are theirs. Just because you think an idea is good does not make it good.

A truly good ideas is valuable in the same way that great team is valuable before they start working. No one says a team of world class developers is worthless before they start on a project and we should take the same approach to world class ideas. Bring them together and you have enormous value.
The Case for Automated ETL Tools
There is so much of do's and don'ts out there for startup advice. Most of them is personal experience that can be applied to only a few. Becoming overtly general takes the point away. This list given by the author is something I have personally realized over the course of last 3 years working on my idea. Its quite good that he could bring this out succinctly. Now I would say go work on your idea and figure your way out rather than looking for advices :-)
Looks kind of horrible.

But before we all emulate facebook, has anybody figured out how effective they are?
I don't know how much "innovation" goes on there or how much actual work they get done. Somehow it feels like you could get by with one tenth of that population. Or maybe I just don't understand all the great features and innovations they must be adding to facebook every day (with thousands of coders etc.). Haven't noticed much change in facebook during the couple of years I have been using it.
Maybe they all spend their time "monetizing" me...
Great, now I've got to run TWO mail servers. That'll decrease my anxiety levels. ;D
Inspiring Side Projects That Drive Growth
Yes, we need a radical change of diet if we want to live healthier, for example to fight type-2 diabetes.

Unfortunately my whole life I see the opposite trend. Everything gets low-fat or even "zero-fat" at the same time being rich with carbs (usually mostly sugar).

Doesn't help that even latest "trendy" eats (e.g. vegan fad) are in general based on carbs as an energy source.

I had a Brazilian group in my previous job, and one of the teams ran global SQA. You could not imagine the frequency with which we talked about testes (= tests in PT).
Average consumption at least. It's still the poorer layers of society who suffer the most obesity problems, so it would be interesting to see a graph of their average consumption.

The highly-refined super-sugary foods are typically the cheap stuff, so intuitively a sugar-tax and advertising ban should help target those most vulnerable to obesity.
I'd like to second this. I had only slight interest in Biology but got completely hooked into the course because the teacher makes things so plausible and exciting. I wish one could do bioinformatics remotely, I'd seriously change careers ;)
Zipnish: open source microservices performance tracker
Ideas are cheap because you can have them lounging your chair doing nothing but thinking. No risk-taking involved. No years of hard work involved.

The reason Silicon Valley (rightfully) values execution so much more than ideas is because it takes guts (putting in own or other people's money) and sweat (hard work, focus, attention to detail) and a whole lot of other things to take an idea to product on the street. This is why most ideas never make it to product.

So compared to ideas, sweat and guts are quite rare, making ideas the cheap good. Easy as that.
That's really sad to hear. It's the best anti-Outlook as far as I know. The best solution imo is to just let the community take over.
Recently read the book "SuperIntelligence" and found it fascinating as it delves into how AI could be catastrophic and what measures we could take to avoid that scenario. Could you give some examples as to how Facebook could do it much before AI? Can it be of the same degree of severity as potential damage that AI could lead to ?

How to get free internet with simple exploit in your ISP
I use Seafile, I've not looked at how secure it is, so I only store non-sensitive stuff on it. Its not a "Dropbox but better", its different with different controls. I use to to selectively sync folders, and preference files. Other than that I can't really say much, the mobile app shat itself last time I tried to back up photos (~2 months ago). Its wobbly, but I still prefer it over Dropbox at the moment.
Maybe your sugar consumption dropped but remember many food companies started to sweeten things with concentrated fruit syrup, HFCS, honey, agave nectar etc. It's still all sugar.
I configured my server once, over two years ago. I logged in on root once again, when I run out of disk space, I made a cron job to remove oldest logs monthly. It's centos6 and it works. Should I care more about it? Anything I should pay attention to?

VC and angels are most defiantly not buyers of ideas, but very few engineers or business people are buyers of ideas either. This is the reason you don’t have to worry about sharing your ideas (in general) since nobody cares about anyone else’s idea even if it is fantastic.

If your idea is no better than everyone else's it is not a truly good idea.

There isn't any need to villainize carbohydrates. In their unadulterated form, derived from whole plant-based foods, it's perfectly reasonable to consume the majority of calories from "carbs". The trouble comes when these sugars are extracted, refined and added to processed foods.

> Carbohydrate provides the majority of energy in the diets of most people. There are many reasons why this is desirable. In addition to providing easily available energy for oxidative metabolism, carbohydrate-containing foods are vehicles for important micronutrients and phytochemicals. Dietary carbohydrate is important to maintain glycemic homeostasis and for gastrointestinal integrity and function. Unlike fat and protein, high levels of dietary carbohydrate, provided it is obtained from a variety of sources, is not associated with adverse health effects. Finally, diets high in carbohydrate as compared to those high in fat, reduce the likelihood of developing obesity and its co-morbid conditions. An optimum diet should consist of at least 55% of total energy coming from carbohydrate obtained from a variety of food sources.

> The bulk of carbohydrate-containing foods consumed [are recommended to] be those rich in non-starch polysaccharides and with a low glycemic index. Appropriately processed cereals, vegetables, legumes, and fruits are particularly good food choices.

"Porting plugins to use GEGL buffers simply means that a filter can operate on whatever image data you throw it at, be it 8bit integer or 32bit per color channel floating point.
Which is great, because e.g. Photoshop CS2 users who tried 32bit mode quickly learnt they couldn't do quite a lot, until at least CS4, released several years later."

I think Eclipse was slow enough before the JS/DOM thing came a long.

Back in the bad old days GNU emacs was written in LISP but it always seemed pretty peppy.

Today there are a lot of editors written in modern scripting languages and/or the JS/DOM environment such as Atom and Light Table and they all seem just a little bit laggy.
I hope someone picks up the reins. I install TB on every OS I have. I prefer it. I damn near require it for its cross platform consistency. Anything but Google or Microsoft (and I like both of those companies).

@bad_user quells my fears.
Pakistani government is being a total dick. It doesn't make sense to get a backdoor to a service like BB except keeping an eye on the business users for the personal advantages of those in the government. They are passing all types of weird cyber crimes law and taking internet in their own hands but internet is free. I applaud the step by BB. Also, There are so many secure alternatives now such as Telegram that exiting of BB won't make any difference for those who still want a secure communication network.
One of the big issues is that councils "fund" public realm changes from the central government grants.

I do a lot of work with my local council to deliver better child safe cycle infrastructure. The Local Sustainable Transport Fund is coming to an end in 2016. Cycle City Ambition Grant money is an ad-hoc grant that only impacts 8 cities and many transport ideas would take years to deliver.

Providing a national "fund" that councils could put together projects and then "bid" for funding with a focus on delivering healthy transport options (walking/cycling/public transport) would enable the delivery of huge long-term health benefits.

One of the reasons London does so well with some of the cycling schemes is that there is a committed 10-year plan to invest in cycling. Without this type of financial commitment you don't get a good safe network. You get little bitty pieces of ad-hoc infrastructure that the council hopes to connect together eventually IF future grants become available.

> after the "ban" they also introduces some leniency in getting an intermediate singing cert for internal domains because in many cases the reason why a company would buy a "CA" cert for an internal domain / host was regulatory and auditors don't care what the cabforum has to say.

Wait, so you're saying that CAs are giving out intermediate roots to customers on the promise that they won't give out the private key? If this is the case, please provide examples of CAs that do this, so I can open bugs in the relevant software to request the root CAs be removed.

TrustWave did this, and got a lot of flack for it. In the end they stated it was a mistake and they'd never do it again, so they got to keep their cert (a mistake in my opinion, as they already demonstrated that they can't be trusted with CA powers).

Or did you mean they provide regular server certs or wildcards for internal domains?
It seems to me that a great idea, like a good idea, is just a thought experiment until you've actually tried to execute on it and proven your theory.
