Also I think there are very intelligent people working to keep people in the dark. As an example:

"Transport for London is spending £1 Billion on improving cycle infrastructure."

Sounds brilliant. However.

"Transport for London is spending 0.7% of their yearly budget for the next 10 years on a transport that accounts for 5% of the travel in the city."

Or

"Transport for London are spending £1Billion out of £110Billion budget on cycle infrastructure."

All three statements are true. However the first statement is a better soundbite.
Evey card in CardPi is the smallest unit of content. It is a mixture of text and imagery. Cards belong to series. Together they form nodes of a structure of showcasing collections of data in a organized and hierarchical way.

Suppose your are a small game studio. You have a single profile card that describes your studio. Then you have a top level series for each of your games, say game A and game B. Then with the series for game A you can have sub series for Items, Characters, Locations. You then have cards that belong to each of those subseries featuring the items, characters, locations. Suppose there is a card for character x. That card can be updated with posts, every update has discussion forums... Best of all someone can quickly find all the characters in your game, all the locations and read information and discuss them.

Your point about a video is important. It has been considered but since there is considerable confusion about what this is for it seems wise to consider making one.

(scientist w/ 15+ years experience in software dev in bioinformatics, with nice results, see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=grosdidier+aur%C3%A... )

I think a decent software development capability is one among the many skills a scientist must be able to be comfortable with in order to provide society with valuable research results.

Professional developers are given a task, or a goal, and are focused on the right way to do it. Some do wonders, but they aren't paid to go beyond the goal they are assigned.

When you're a scientist, the software is not a goal, but only a tool that will be subjected to further iterative refinement.

No one else but you knows about the proper efficiency / flexibility / level of abstraction you need. There's a strong need for scientists combining both scientific and development skills.

Btw, I'm looking for a new position ^^

It sounds like you are being given the opportunity to build someone else's Minimun Viable Product for free! And you would not even be getting founder part of ownership. And who knows if the CTO position is still yours after funding.

My biggest concern would be your boss(s). Do they joke about doing shady things before or in the future? Do they do drugs? Are they pathologically unable to talk about anything other than how much money this app/idea/business will make? Do they occasionally do dumb things like fund the start of the company by giving away 55% of the company in exchange for $300,000 from their soon the be ex-wife and her friends?
I'll second OneNote. I haven't used EverNote since 2011 due to a revamp if their UI which didn't sit well with me. OneNote is pretty simple and basic at it's core, but the ability to have multiple books gives separation between work/personal, multiple tabs allows separation between projects and multiple pages allows separation between tasks. It helps me structure things fairly well.
So you are not getting paid, but they are? Are you getting some substantial equity?

As for surviving without income all I can say is don't take debt lightly. While in my case I can only blame myself I was in debt for the majority of the past 10 years due to supplementing low income. Eventually the loans/overdrafts/cards stop coming and you're dead in the water without a paddle.

If this company does not succeed before that point (where success is defined as the company not only being funded but much more importantly - you actually get paid) you will have gotten into debt for no reason. It's a very risky move, one which I would never advise someone do for another person's company unless they had a really good reason to disagree with me
A decent modern voting system would probably tilt the balance back towards sanity though.

Knowledge of how politics actually works seems to be one of these areas of intentional ignorance.

A popular alternative comedian in the UK tried to argue (correctly) that voting was pointless under our gerrymandered, first-past-the-post, two party system and was broadly ridiculed by the establishment media.

He didn't really argue that well for it, but he's a comedian, the fact that they couldn't really present a valid counterpoint as professional political pundits was depressing.

Personally I think that's not very useful - I don't often find myself looking at older blog posts and if I do I either use Google or the site's own search functionality. Your system seems to require content to be created in it to be searchable.

It's an interesting idea, but I wonder how many people are actually really trying to locate old content.
While I think it is a bad idea to limit which domains can use TLS in an ad hoc style, this issue with stuff like example.co.uk was solved in DNS a long time ago.

One of the main features of DNS is the ability to delegate authority for a zone. You use a NS record on a valid name that where you have authority to indicate that some other server is authoritative for a given subset of your zone.

If you bought example.com, you can create DNS records like

subdomin.example.com. 172800 IN NS ns1.example.com

to indicate that ns1.example.com is the authority for the entire subdomain.example.com zone. This includes all further nesting of .subdomain.example.com.

Instead of guessing* who is responsible for a zone, you should simply ask the nearest upstream zone authority.

Also, relying on lists is almost always the wrong solution - if your security requires you to successfully enumerate something, you are doing it wrong. ( http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/d... )

OTR [1], Axolotl [2] and OMEMO [3] all provide Perfect Forward Secrecy, which in turn means that you can't (or should not be able to) read your archived messages. And with OTR can't send messages to offline contacts. OpenPGP does not provide this property, which allows you to read your encrypted messages in the archive as long as you have access to your OpenPGP secret key and it allows you to send messages to offline contacts.

When democracy wasn't available to everyone because of discrimination, the same discrimination was also in effect in access to education — so those who voted had better education than those who didn't.

Just to clarify, in case this comment will be read by idiots: discrimination is bad. Votings rights are good. Access to education for everyone is good. If you're thinking that I argue for return to "good old times of racism and sexism", you're a moron.

XBox came in when there were very few competition to PS. PS was the platform of choice (for game developers). Microsoft created an alternative platform (it is like someone else creating an alternative to Windows today).

Evernote had all the advantages when they launched, they over took Microsoft's OneNote in no time in terms of mindshare. Infact when Evernote launched there were hardly any cross device note taking app (other than Microsoft's).

Evernote was darling of investors, had the field wide open, but they had to dig their own grave by not paying attention to product management and engineering (the fundamentals).

I'd managed to save about £40,000 GBP by the end of 2012. Then in 2014 I took some months off from Readlang and earned roughly £30,000 GBP doing some contract work. No other sources of income. I've never been close to running out of money, if I did I would certainly ease back on Readlang and look for more freelance work.

BTW: The freelance work I did wasn't using technology I enjoy or want to focus on in future, and was offered to me without having to look for it. I did it because of the money and because I liked the people. I've never actually had to actively look for freelance gigs myself. So I'm still not sure how easy it is to find good clients with interesting work.

No, the problem back then was more often that a small group of people were relatively well informed and voting in their own narrow interests, but not in the interests of those who didn't yet have the vote.

Once people rioted etc. to actually win the vote, more subtle approaches had to be found to continue doing whatever was in the interests of the well connected few. Having lots of uninformed voters distracted by fluff is one of those tactics.

I just finished reading "Why We Get Fat" [1] and was really surprised by it. The research seems quite plausible to me, but the recommendations in terms of not getting fat are not what I have heard as the common advice.

The advice in short is: avoid all carbohydrates as much as possible, and eat protein and fat.

It's an article about nutrition articles, not a nutrition article itself. Russell's types save the day again.

Note that even if it was a "nutrition article", it telling you not to trust those articles doesn't fully invoke the liar's paradox.

Unlike with the liar's paradox, where the case is supposed to always hold ("cretans always lie") and as such the statement doesn't hold (and vice versa), a call to "not trust" doesn't translate to a call for never trusting. It only means do not trust in advance, you can still trust the ones you have verified (which breaks the infinite loop).

I want to like Evernote, but it's a pain to use. I open it up every year or so to see whether it's improved and it never has.

Maybe it's not designed to do what I want, which is to be a simple digital shoebox into which I can constantly shove stuff and have it searchable and available. For all its visual design polish the core functionality is frustrating and I object to being bugged to buy overpriced desk furniture by a notes app.

I call it Skypeification. A simple utility - making calls, taking notes - gets bloated in features and UI until it takes far more space and resources than it should. At it's smallest window size, Skype takes up almost half my laptop screen to display nine interface elements. There's no excuse for that.
I disagree, I always liked Apple's product descriptions. Nowhere near the nonsensical "everything you ever needed" that Evernote uses to market a TODO app. Now compare that to the paragraph below the iPhone 6S image here [1] (The moment you use iPhone 6s...)

I lived half my life in England while the IRA was active, I have a friend who was in a building in London when the IRA threatened to blow it up (it wasn't an empty threat, the device was in place and armed). Neither of us lose any sleep over it.

Did the IRA achieve the restoration of the 32-county republic declared in 1916 and ratified in 1919? No. But they did get a devolved administration, with power-sharing guarantees to prevent the domination of one community by the other and with their political wing holding nearly a third of the seats in its legislature and nearly a third of the positions in its executive.

In 1968, ecologist Garrett Hardin explored this social dilemma in his article "The Tragedy of the Commons", published in the journal Science.

The "prisoner's dilemma" is a quantitative/mathematically rigorous description of the same concept that came out later in 1992.

I would go with "Tragedy of the commons" over the game theory title since it came out earlier and is a much more readable article for the average layman! Also, "Tragedy of the commons" sounds more appropriate. Here's a link to the original article: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/162/3859/1243.full

R is all about data structures. Everything is built from vectors and lists. Arrays are vectors with a 'dimension' attribute. Data-frames are lists of vectors of the same length. And so on. And factors, which again are a kind of vector, are the primary tool for partitioning the data in groups, so you can have 'ragged' arrays. When you understand how all these work together you get the hang of R.

If the US abolished birthright citizenship and a child were born to
Mexican parents in the U.S. isn't that child eligable for Mexican
citizenship? Birthright citizenship isn't a thing in e.g. Europe and
that's how this works there, it doesn't result in stateless children,
it just results in children needing to be registered in their parent's

Well done!

I have a profitable sidebusiness and so I feel I can relate.

You have proven a need for your product and you've done it the best way you can. You built it for yourself and it turns out other people like it too.

If your growth trajectory continues you can be doing 6 figures in a couple of years. If you have the patience and can support yourself I would recommend you do that.

Now here comes the tricky part.

To grow your company into those 6 figures and beyond, you probably now have to stop building for yourself and start building it for other people too.

But good luck it's great to see others out there doing things from scratch.
