The "nonsense" I was referring to was the inability to dictate the terms of the sale. If a chef takes 2 months to develop a special dish for a very wealthy customer, you can be pretty sure that the price is going to be very high, and only the person paying the price will be enjoying the dish. Likewise, if the chef spends the same amount of time developing a special dish for general consumption, you can also be pretty sure that he/she plans on recouping those costs by distributing them across many customers' meals, the price of which is determined by the chef based upon how much the original cost was, and how fast he/she wishes to recoup the costs.

I'm speaking from complete ignorance here, but why couldn't the airline industry standardize a bit more? It seems that a pilot has to have special high-intensity training on each individual aircraft model, whereas I can jump in pretty much any car from here to Hong Kong and be able to control the machine safely after a ~60 second glance at the dash and steering column. Yes, I understand that adding that extra third-dimension of travel (up and down, in addition to forward-back and left-right) adds complexity, but I have a hard time believing that a standardized control interface for aircraft of X-class engine size wouldn't increase safety.

But anyway, Tumblr has a reputation for really, really soapboxy stuff. It's not all like that, but soapboxing is encouraged there. This might lead people to denounce Tumblr; the real issue is the people on Tumblr, and really only a subset of them cause trouble.

The same can be said of many websites.
Actually, in PIV mode it's my understanding that you can have the Yubikey generate the private key if you want it to.

Note that the key is intended to be difficult to extract from the device and there is not intended to be an interface for doing so.

If you are using it with RSA key, you need to decide if you trust that it is generating the key properly. Keep in mind Yubikeys are built on GlobalPlatform/JavaCard which is an extremely high value target. There would definitely be the economic incentive for a well-funded adversary to backdoor the RNG system.

If you are using a Yubikey with EC cryptography, the security analysis gets even more complicated. The curve used need to be a safe one.

And, if the RNG has been tampered with or incorrectly designed, EC signatures can actually leak the private key.

Which is to say that if there is a flaw in the Yubikey, JavaCard, GlobalPlatform, or the specific chips they are using, and you are either (A) having it generate the private RSA keys, or (B) using it with elliptic curves, then there is the potential that the device is not at all secure.

Note that backdooring crypto-specific chips is a thing. TPM and other special-purpose crypto chips have been discovered to have been both backdoored and vulnerable to implementation issues.

Which is completely unacceptable - "you had one job".
Without patents, companies use trade secrets more. That's worse. Then you never find out how they do it. Note how secretive Google and Apple have become. For a while, things could be reverse-engineered. That's getting harder; if important parts are in the cloud, you have no access to how they work and no right to reverse engineer.

Business method patents are pretty much gone, after the last revision of patent law. Uber can't patent their version of a taxi service. There are still old business method patents, but nobody is winning infringement cases with them.

What file? Be specific. Facebook pages, Twitter pages, the all depend on who's asking, and they literally change every time they're polled. So you would be pulling pages all the time, and most of those changes will be irrelevant, because yours friends won't be looking at the time.

How do you know that? You have no coding experience - how do you know it will be easy?

It's not the question of the connection being trusted, it's other people trusting that the service you are providing won't snoop on their data. If I use your service, my data would be passed through your server. Why should I trust you not to copy my data?

Why do you think existing video streams can be further compressed? Why do you think images can be further compressed? They form the bulk of existing data streams, so you would need a strategy to deal with them, otherwise you're not gaining anything.

In short, and in summary, basically nothing that you are writing makes any sense at all. Sorry if that sounds harsh.

I was more concerned about entering and staying in the country (I've always believed that Switzerland sounded like a great country to live in). My information may be out of date, but I thought that permanent immigration to Switzerland was nearly impossible. From looking online I don't really see any evidence to the contrary but it's hard to tell. Settling down and starting a family implies a level of stability where said family can stick around for 10+ years and won't get kicked out due to, say, me losing a job.

According to Werner Koch: [0]

"8192 bit keys are horrible insane from all POVs: There is no extra security because the security is based on the weakest link and this is definitely not the length of the RSA modulus, they make encryption really slow and thereby reducing the likeliness of widespread encryption use, they only help spreading FUD about the security of the RSA or other algorithms."

That's pretty much political though. Nuclear powered cargo ships have already worked, and Russia says they're putting theirs back into service in a bit.

Although if foreseeable future means obvious stuff, then yes, the huge number of non-nuclear ships means it'll take a long time even if everyone liked the idea tomorrow.
OK, here's the question: Who will buy all those supposedly worthless assets and provide that "tsunami of cash" to the shareholders of oil companies?

A fire sale of assets of questionable value is only going to prove their worthlessness and they will have to be marked down very quickly on the balance sheets of oil companies.

The result will not be a tsunami of cash but a tsunami of bankruptcies.
Great Infographs on Startups and entrepreneurship
This article is as bland as it gets. How does Jack Dorsey run both Twitter and Square? By managing his time. Of course, we know he manages time, which is the biggest constraint in accomplishing the task of managing two companies. How exactly does he manage time? Said that, I believe the only reason this is in news is because some investors are worried that Jack Dorsey being a CEO of two companies will affect the company's performance, and this article is sharing Twitter/Square's view that Jack Dorsey isn't alone and that there are other CEO's who did that.

Big Dig comparisons are common with respect to this project, but it's worth noting that the Big Dig improved traffic flow.

Yes, but all these JavaScript transpilers ultimately make for a healthy ecosystem. Arguably, we'd all be using the Erlang VM instead of Node if the Erlang community had more than just Elixir as a transpiled launguage. But it is a challenge for the JS community to sort through the tools explosion of the past 2 years.
It is not either/or.

I think there is simply a miscommunication happening here, where folks unfamiliar with iPython are assuming it is a simple REPL (like the Perl debugger in REPL mode. I'm not talking about a dumb thing that executes one line of code and returns. iPython (and, again, I imagine the better Lisp and SmallTalk REPLs) is a full shell with your programming environment available, including the ability to use the debugger interactively, explore your data structures, etc. But, you can also create new functions, modify existing ones, and it has command history, etc. All the stuff you'd expect of a good shell, but in Python and with a complete picture of your program's execution environment.

I've simply never felt like I was able to get inside of a program like when working with iPython, and I'm not at all a good Python programmer.
> ... examiners are rewarded only for issuing patents...

This is incorrect. They are "rewarded" for any kind of action on a pending patent, whether it's an allowance or a rejection. Last I checked, a majority of them gets rejected at least once. In some art units (i.e. field of technology) the rejection rates are actually pretty high.

The author's position is less about predicting markets than it is about "if you're operating a horse & buggy business in 1885, you're best off winding it up". The debate here seems to be about whether 'today' is 1885 or 1855 or 1825, so to speak.
I do like the Basic Income Guarantee, but have yet to do any math on how efficient it is compared to the US's welfare system.

Ideally, the money would come in the form of a standardized cheque, to be handed out once a month to anybody who is 18 or older and can come to the local DMV and provide proof of citizenship. Unclaimed money goes toward funding the program, getting more workers into DMVs to handle traffic, and (again, ideally) could be sent to a charity of the recipient's choice.
One of the stark realities of climate change is that as the effects get worse, there will be increasing oil and fossil fuel divestment. Makes no sense at all to me to be investing mid/long term in a source of energy that everyone ultimately wants to see removed. Short term, until we create a credible alternative, oil is still a good investment to work with.

From TFA:

> If a consortium of private-equity investors raised the $118 billion needed to buy BP at its current share price, it could immediately start to liquidate 10.5 billion barrels of proven reserves worth over $360 billion, even at today’s “depressed” price of $36 a barrel.

Their oil reserves alone are worth nearly 3 times the market value of the company. The other assets you talk of could even have a negative value of $100b and the equation still works.
Yes, but chefs have absolute control over the ingredients in any "special recipes" and can restrict access in ways that those that produce works like literature and software cannot. Unlike digital goods, the resultant dishes cannot be copied indefinitely at zero cost.

I also do not really care for the super-long copyright terms, and my posts here should not be confused as a defense of the likes of Disney, etc. Most software is obsolete within a year. The unauthorized copying of newly-released software is my primary issue, having been directly affected by it for so long.
Also, they make a lot in Thailand.
You should put some effort on designing the key schema, especially the hash key. Don't do timestamp, or sequence. I had to do a 'encrypted' key schema on my sequence IDs so sequential records are spread into different partitions. Actually it worked out well as I can exposed these encrypted keys externally too.

It feels like the author hasn't read The Innovator's Dilemma.

In it, the author talks about a number of "stable" industries that had existing product lines with the R&D, customers, and sales processes to back them up. They were so invested in those structures that as innovations in their industry came along, they missed the innovations. It wasn't because those innovations were bad - many were great - but they didn't fulfill their existing customers' requirements. And so instead of trying to develop new markets (hard!), they ignored the innovations.

As a result, new entrants - without the cash cows to worry about - applied those innovations in new areas, building new markets. As those new products caught up with the requirements of the older products, those old customers switched to the new products.

I think the next great innovations in energy aren't going to come from the oil companies.

It's nothing nefarious, just the simple realization that most of their customers can't use [choose: solar, wind, nuclear, etc] for a variety of reasons. As those other energy sources change, improve, and simplify, those customers may be able to change but we should be looking for the new entrants building the new markets first.

The distinction being made is in the technology required for OPEC wells. Conventional oil fields (most OPEC Wells) require the same tech that 19th century wells did. Just because you go a little deeper doesn't change the tech.

I agree oil price played a major role in developing horizontal tech, but it's become more about the cost being driven down and is why the U.S. is still doing it at $35 a barrel (which is, on a relative basis, the same as 10+ years ago). Either way I don't think your point #2 works against anything I've mentioned.
That was the weirdest thing about Western Washington politics that I've observed: we'll keep voting until we get the answer we like. If voters refuse to give us that answer, we'll just go ahead and do it anyway. For history, I refer you to stadiums and the monorail, and I'm sure there are others I've missed.
If you can't trust the community's votes, perhaps the voting system should be viewed as a failed experiment. I'm not being facetious.

After all, if you look at HN's front page five or six years ago, and compare it to the front page today, you'll see that HN used to be a legitimately useful tool for entrepreneurs; whereas now it is primarily a source of frivolous distractions. There's almost nothing on this site that helps entrepreneurs.

I understand that YC gets some benefits from the move to lower common denominator content; but in the long run do you all really want to be associated with a site that destroys more value than it creates? Because that is where HN is now. The true entrepreneurial community is gone. The voting is now useless.
Actually, they picked a narrowly defined behavioral model (that of convention going) to test hypotheses about a sub culture that obviously exists outside that behaviour model.

I'm not sure what else you expected them to do.

While it is far from conclusive (and the paper is very clear about that), the idea of testing out a hypothesis in an artificially defined context is kind of how empirical science is done. As you get more confident in the hypothesis, you make predictions about more and more varied contexts.
Great analysis. Everything there points to realistic challenges that put a renewable energy led future at least 50 years out (imho). This is great for the future and clean energy technology companies but I'd suspect oil executives to be sizing up their slice of the world energy pie. I'd guess the future looks pretty good for oil for a few more decades.
> On the contrary, the presence of patents tend to slow down innovation.

I believe we may have had this exchange before, but they is no empirical evidence of that. At most there have been apocryphal examples that have mostly been debunked.

There are a ton of empirical studies showing the benefits (increased r&d spending, vc investments, etc.) and costs (potential for patent holdup, thickets, etc) of patent systems, but nobody has ever been able to show that innovation itself is harmed or spurred. I'd guess this is mainly because it is almost impossible to define "innovation" precisely enough to measure it.
What is the political agenda? Kickbacks from construction contracts? As a someone not from Seattle, this whole debate is remarkably opaque. The linked article requires that the reader is already well versed in the debate and barely tries to recap or read new people in.
In California I've noticed ads for and against propositions on TV and radio. That makes more sense since voters have direct control over CA propositions on the ballot, but I'm sure if you just have a ton of money you can deal with the abysmal conversion rate of a click sending their congressperson a letter or email
Doesn't it take something like $5 of electricity to "fill up" a Tesla (250 miles or so?) That would be like buying gas at $0.50 a gallon. The other side of the coin is the high cost of the battery pack (something like $30K), but that should come down drastically once the Gigafactory is online.
To be very honest, whenever I see any political group supporting this or that bill, I have to roll my eyes. The thought that change could be wrought by this congress voting on anything when it is the congress that has enacted the least number of laws of any US congress in recent history[0] is one that is rooted in futility. It seems like those votes against obamacare, just political showmanship without the serious hope of getting anything really accomplished. The last major changes to law/goverment in this country have been either by the courts(gay marriage, citizens united) or executive action(draw down of the war on drugs). Has anything been done through congress in the last few years where it is supposed to originate? None I can think of other than a couple of standouts.

We need to fix the election finance system. That is the first problem before we can think that anything can really be effected through congress, as it is supposed to be.
