No one can prevail that a successful lasting violation of law worth recognition of it as an accepted legal usage.

I do agree that the ToS are shit. They were since the beginning. What new brands are doing is called : claiming rights on the second creation.

They give you proprietary shovels with open API to rush for gold, and once you have taken the risks and you can make money they can decide to let you live or not.

People laughed at me 10 years ago with this topic.

Entrepreunariat is about being a jake of all trades. You cannot be weak neither in coding, nor economy, nor business, nor accounting, nor legal contracts. You skipped "the leg days" of business. Reading the contracts and evaluating the risks, assessing the uncertainties. And you failed.

Well. Blame it on you and your blindness. Don't appeal to my pity.

Vae Victis. That is the way of business, and you should take responsibility for your own bad choices and understand that with great power comes more painful arrows in the knees.

All people supporting your claims should rather also think of the consequences of sustaining unsound business practices. If you would win, it would be yet another loss for all of a fair competition on the market.

I actually love your idea and have a lot of respect for your realization. Building is great. Making lasting products and risk management is even more important.

So, please shutdown your site and share the depressing conclusions you will come to. Learn like a true entrepreneur, and go back to work with your newly acquired knowledge, and think of whether or not you can rebuild your product on better foundations.

Success is not what make business man. It is overcoming your failure. The only true capital of a business man is fortitude.
But the big problem of today's society isn't an asteroid threatening to blow us all, it's people being forced to work more and more to make a living.

It's better for a growth business to use profits to grow, not as compensation. Plans like you describe are what typical profit-sharing bonuses look like in more mature companies (or ones that aren't planning to ever exit).

The easiest fix is to set the expiry after you leave the company to ~10 years rather than 90 days. In that case, you have your entire tenure + 10 years for the company to have some kind of exit.

If that were the case, you could simply exercise at the point when the stock was liquid and you would never have to pay tax before then. There would still be reasons to early-exercise (to get the clock ticking on capital gains), but that's something that incurs risk -- you never need to do it if you don't want to (and you don't lose the options if you don't)

Ben Rich, while he was head of Lockheed's Skunk Works, looked at the proposal, and decided they would not bid. He'd worked on the SR-71, which was the highest performance aircraft ever built. His comment: "We used titanium. You know something stronger?"

Getting rid of the heat was the biggest problem. Rockets which launch vertically don't spend much time in the atmosphere. Aircraft which accelerate horizontally do. Hypersonic in-atmosphere travel means having to get rid of huge amounts of heat with no place to dump it. Running liquid hydrogen fuel over the vehicle exterior for cooling was considered and rejected for the SR-71. (Many rocket engines run the cryogenic fuel and oxidizer through cooling channels in the engine bell before using it as propellant. That's not a totally unreasonable idea.)

The X-30 was supposed to have a big cabin, which would have to be kept cool. Only a small part of the SR-71 is kept cool; the pilot is in a space suit. Even cooling the pilot was hard. Remember, at hypersonic speeds in atmosphere, there's no place to dump the heat; you have to bring your cold with you.

The only real advantage of this approach over rockets which get out of the atmosphere as soon as possible is that you don't have to carry oxidizer. That improves the mass fraction (rockets to orbit are > 90% fuel). Not enough to be a win, though.
Does this not count as "fertile offspring"?

When Larry Page became CEO, basically.
I am not going to defend Challenger. IMO, it was more an issue with NASA than the shuttles design.

Still, the point is they did not need to wait over a year reusing launches from design constraints. Instead, NASA simply did not need that many manned launches per year.

Now, I am not saying it was a great or even that good of a design. It was simply a poor fit for what they used it for. NASA would have been better off with either a much smaller shuttle that only sent crew up, or an unmanned system for hauling cargo. Instead, they tried to do both which caused a lot of problems.
I agree - I thought the reason this was posted to HN was the fact this is a fairly significant update with its own announcement page, which doesn't appear to have been the case with .1 releases in the past. Perhaps iOS is moving to a faster update cycle?

I hope Safari gets more meaningful updates as well - the once-a-year updates sometimes with not much new (looking at you Safari 9) is real slow progress for web developers, especially compared to Chrome and Firefox.
Ahhhhh... interesting. I read so many stories and comments on HN about how it's bad to be too rich. But apparently well like companies can have an exception.

I hate people calling normal parenting a "free range parenting movement." It's not. When I was a little kid in the early 1990's, even my overprotective asian parents let me walk to and from school. And I think even today the majority of parents would think nothing of it. Legislation like this is a response to a vocal minority of psychotic millenials. Because few of their peers have kids, and they've moved far from home in pursuit of their careers, they have no frame of reference for normal parenting.
Constantly being interrupted to answer simple questions is a thankless task that has negative consequences to your own productivity. You ultimately have to do their work and have less time for your own, which can be stressful when on projects with tight deadlines (aren't they all?). At some point I realized that being overly helpful makes you an enabler of this rude behavior - why bother spending a few minutes researching something when the guy across from you can answer it immediately? Often it's better to say no and encourage more self reliance.
OT but this reminds me of the Mythbusters episode on the U2 plane. Well worth watching if you haven't, and it also nicely displays how amazingly powerful these are for surveillance.

It is "free" if you squint, but they kind of screw with you when you don't pay them, to the point where I ditched jOOQ entirely because I didn't feel like I could trust them to deal straight with me. They spam your application output like nagware unless you dig into the code for an undocumented flag (which has a really godawful guilt-trip comment next to it begging you to allow them to continue littering your logs with unparseable garbage that can't even be bothered to go through logback to be piped correctly) and they hide their unit tests (and are real jerks about them, calling them "an enterprise feature", when in reality they're both documentation and verification that the stuff they say works actually does work). It's their prerogative to do that, of course, but it's not behavior I'd support. Team's kind of shitty on Twitter, too, trolling around keyword searches and looking for a fight.

I don't recommend its use, both from a "can I trust this" perspective as well as a "do I want to support these guys" one. If you can use Slick, I recommend it, as its developers have in my experience been uniformly solid people; I haven't needed either recently, as I've switched stacks for the project I was going to use one or the other for, but Slick's developers don't make me feel icky to support.
Just a question, what does he _need_ email for?
The premise that coauthors on papers make equal contributions is in itself grossly biased. They don't. I'm coauthor on papers I've never even read. If you were looking at the class of Scott Locklin on papers I'm named on, assuming everyone is supposed to get equal credit, using the methods they did, I'd be considered to be unfairly not getting enough credit, because there are less of me than everyone else and most of the papers I'm in, I do not deserve equal credit. The proper comparison class is, do principal authors get equal credit for their contributions, normalized to their proportion in the population.

No, it doesn't break the promises in any way. If all your code does potentially dangerous memory manipulation, then there's very little hope that there will ever be an automatic checker for the safety of your program.

The promise of Rust rests on the assumption that most code is not like that. There are a few fundamental data structures that do crazy stuff, and okay, we have to use `unsafe` there - and if we want to have any formal guarantees, we have to do a formal proof. If are happy with less, we just manually audit that data structure extra carefully. We also put every such data structure in its own module, which carefully limits the amount of code that is exposed to this unsafety.

However, most of the code will just use those data structures, and that's where Rust gives you a safety guarantee. Combing `Vec` and `HashMap` and all the other types from the standard library in any way you want, hammer them from multiple threads, send stuff across channels, whatever - you can do all of that safely, and if your code crashes, you don't have to look at all this code because you did not write `unsafe`, only the standard library did - and you are in a separate module.

> Now its that you have to just make sure all your code is correct, not just the unsafe blocks.

This is not correct. As I wrote in the post, you have to check all code within a module that contains `unsafe`. Most of the modules people write do not contain `unsafe`, and hence are not checked.

I'd be curious to learn why you think this is the case.

I think the biggest complaint is that the improvement in quality of life and agency, is not even slightly evenly distributed. I'm not knowledgeable enough to posit good arguments, so you'll have to research this on your own. I'm sure with a modest bit of effort and investigation you'll come to a more balanced position.
Reminds me exactly of the intro from „Person of interest“ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOnQ8CD3v4g
I think you may have missed the core of the notion. It's not about who "deserves" what at all. It's about providing value. Techies and other white collar types generally provide value by doing bespoke work. Demanding payment to copy non-custom bits because they have a certain color is not providing value in any readily apparent way.

What you've also missed is how sick and tired techies are of artists and musicians seeking to "deserve a good living" by controlling techies. To express contempt for our work while expecting unlimited cringing subservience.

Why is it that so-called "artists" are so quick to demand creative control over the work of others who work in different mediums? I have a few guesses.

I'm so happy to see Notes getting attention and new features. Since the update to support attachments and basic text formatting, it has become my digital notebook of choice. I basically use it for everything, from todo and shopping list, to collecting images about a topic, planning trips, work notes, and many more.

Notes has many features that I considered well implemented: a simple interface, native integration with the OS including sharing from and to the app, seamless iOS & OSX syncing over iCloud, decent search, PDF export.

I hope Apple keeps investing in it adding relevant, useful features, but without allowing it to become too big, like it happened to Evernote.
There's another version of this duality: small step versus big step operational semantics.
This can be approached the same way as shared binaries. Just load the relevant libraries once, then cache.

Back in 2006 a bunch of us were building OSM precisely so this wouldn't be a problem in the future. But I take your point.
The popup text says "use your fingerprint or notes password to protect this note" though.

So to my reading it's showing passwords which are about to be protected, not something that already has been locked.

OP wants a violation exception? Hardly seems like a worthwhile enough service though at least in my opinion.

> Apps do not continue to exist in perpetuity without maintenance. If he can't afford the maintenance cost (understandable) then the app is going to eventually stop working anyways.

Not really. If the API version he's using doesn't stop working there is no real reason why it couldn't just continue to work for a very long time (maybe even forever depending on how browsers evolve). It's not like software just randomly stops working forever after a certain period...well maybe in 2038 but in general simple applications (like this one) are not a big deal to keep up and running for seemingly forever.

Reading the text on the screen this appears to be in the action of 'encrypting'. i.e. they just hit a button to say 'hide this data behind my fingerprint' and you just have to authenticate and then it will be encrypted. A poor choice though perhaps. I think they wanted to demonstrate the type of data you would want to store.

Preventing kids from walking down a public street is nearly as stupid as preventing mature women from doing so. Reminds me of Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.
No, the "deep Web" is things like friends-of-friends Facebook posts, Twitter posts to locked accounts, and friends-locked LiveJournal posts — things that are in some sense "on the web" but that a standard search engine can't find. You're thinking of the "dark Web", which includes things like onion sites. Your confusion is not unusual; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_web says, "The dark web has often been confused with the deep web, the parts of the web not searched by search engines. This confusion dates to at least 2009."
Emulation is never going to be fast.
Unfortunately no, but i'm not aware of any major feature that is not supported in comparision to Pixi.js. If you find something missing in StageXL i'm happy to receive a feature request :)
Another one I like very much is how OS/400 works.

Written originally in PL/I and Assembly, it contains a kernel level JIT.

All user space applications target a general purpose abstract Assembly and they are AOT to native either at installation time or on-demand.

Other mainframes had similar approaches to code portability.

Sounds familiar?

Another cool thing are the catalog based filesystem and OO Assembly.
I'm sure there are more direct examples, but I watched a video about Sesame Credit recently and it paints a rather dystopian picture of what's possible when you mix surveillance and gamification. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHcTKWiZ8sI
Why shouldn't we use statistical inference to deliver information that enables responders to be better prepared to deal with a situation? I would hate to be a false positive, but I'd rather have the chance of being flagged as "green" when police are headed my way, rather than always being presumed to be a "red" as seems to be the case now. This seems like it would be the opposite of being presumed guilty until proven innocent, for most people.

And this isn't surveillance: they aren't collecting new information, just putting available data sources together. Unless deducing things from existing data is somehow surveillance?
> Its an extremely well maintained and documented library.

I find its documentation coverage to be good but its quality to be lacking, being mostly written by non-native English speakers. Which is fine, if there are good examples and tests to use--but jOOQ actually deleted unit tests from the open-source release of the library (declaring them "an enterprise feature") to remove the easiest and best way to investigate the library, as well as the only unambiguous documentation the project has. ("Ask a question on our Google Group" was suggested with a straight face. Because in 2015, it's better to wait on an email than look at code, I guess.)
I got myself a Revolut account, talked to support and they say they make money as part of a deal with Mastercard, IIUC they get a % off the merchant fee.
Wow... they really shrank the size of a data center!

Of course I know what this actually means: your phone is now an even dumber dumb terminal for accessing the cloud.

I personally gave up when I saw no references at all to encryption, security, or privacy. I assume this thing promiscuously mirrors everything unencrypted (at rest) to someone else's server, or if data is encrypted at rest it's done with someone else's key (server-side "encryption"). That's not only a privacy nightmare but also a security nightmare. What happens if I store a valuable credential, card number, etc. on my phone? Barrels of fun.

For example someone with access to this data could:

find /path-to-cache | grep id_rsa ...

... then see how many machines on the Internet they can ssh into using Android SSH client certificates. Blamo, instant botnet.

This sounds a lot like "640k ought to be enough for everyone" :)

Also, it only addressed my first point.
Types are irrelevant to this discussion (the fact that Haskell is typed is a historical accident; the important factor is that it is lazy), and almost everything is useless when it comes to reasoning about large and complex dynamic systems. Except breaking them into smaller, simpler systems.
>"That said, it's only little off."

It's off by orders of magnitude. KH-11 had/has a 2.4m primary mirror. Wikipedia (correctly) says the following:

>"Assuming a 2.4-meter mirror, the theoretical ground resolution with no atmospheric degradation and 50% MTF would be roughly 15 cm (6 inches). Operational resolution would be worse due to effects of the atmosphere"

16-point typeface is 5.8mm tall, so you probably need at least 0.58mm resolution to read it, and 2mm resolution to separate the characters.

2mm/150mm = 1/75 = 0.013

You need 75x better resolution than KH-11 to resolve characters.

0.58mm/150mm = 0.0038

You need (1/0.0038) 259x better resolution than KH-11 to read 16 point text.

You need ~2-2.5 orders of magnitude better resolution than the largest known earth-imaging satellite can provide, and that is assuming the phone is perpendicular to the satellite with no atmospheric distortion.
I've been looking at Perl6 over the last couple of weeks. The most recent O'Reilly books are about a decade old. A lot of the other material, and there is a surprising amount (e.g. the Advent Calendars) also was written during Perl6's long gestation.

My conclusions:

1. There's relatively little that doesn't assume familiarity with Perl5, and most of what doesn't tends to take the "an array is..." level as a jumping off point.

2. There's no way to know if a Perl6 article from 2009 is going to be a world of hurt via deprecation over six years of development...and 2009 is on the more recent half of the gestation period.

The upshot is that I don't have a good sense of alignment with the language community versus something like Clojure or Python, and it's mostly due to a lack of clarity about the Perl6 community.
git-time-machine is a very interesting find. Thanks!
Right, but the OP is likely questioning why HN, which is supposedly a medium at least slightly immune to the vagaries of normal celebrity worship, is covering it.
This isn't a realistic consideration in any short-term future. That assumes 100% of cars on the road are self-driving cars which are talking to each other. That is decades away at the absolute best speed scenario. But self-driving cars won't make it to that point if they can't cope with the world we live in now.
