> Never jump on the new thing. Always lean toward the simple thing. Always prefer tools closer to your core competencies.

You can attack this problem from different angles. You can either refrain from using new tools OR you can widen your core competencies.

I work ~30h a week. The next 50h I spend doing my hobby thing, which is learning and using new - and old, as there are many forgotten tools which give you an edge over whatever is considered mainstream - tools in various areas. I'm a pathological case of a generalist, but even I have one or two things I specialize in.

Now, I did this for the last 10 years. The ratio of work vs. tech exploration was not always that favourable, but I kept doing this basically throughout the last decade. What I ended with is a skill that lets me very easily learn, understand and modify or fix new tools, be it languages, frameworks or libraries (among other things, ofc). So, in principle, I should have a vast choice of tools accessible to me.

But it doesn't work at all, because even if my project is currently being written by me only, it will be maintained by some other person in the future. And that person is almost guaranteed not to know any of the tools I decided to use, despite them being the best tools for the job.

Well, it looks like I'm just venting my frustration here, so please don't mind me. :)

No, the position that I'm taking that taxation drives demand for currency is a core tenet of Modern Monetary Theory which is starkly in opposition to Monetarism on almost all issues[1][2].

Monetarism is the basis of the neoliberal agenda which enjoys near perfect adoption all over the world. It is the mainstream. Austrian economics is mainstream amongst "conservatives" and MMT is on the fringe of everything because it sounds too conservative to be progressive and too progressive to be conservative (and yet contains the most complete description of how currency works out of any of them!)

I don't know enough to have an opinion on whether or not Karen Sandler would be a good or bad community representative for the Linux Foundation.

That being said, if the problem is that she would be a bad representative, the appropriate solution is for someone better to run against her and win the election. Eliminating the position suggests that the Linux Foundation doesn't trust the community to pick the "right" representative... and that says a lot about the situation.

The GP is mixing together SSH agent with agent forwarding, and private keys with key signing by agent.

There is last week's CVE-2016-0777, which is a vulnerability that enables the exploit you are describing, but in a properly patched configuration, without agent forwarding (nb: this feature is off by default), this is not the case. Same with connection multiplexing: off by default (for good reasons). In other words, either a) please explain how that would work, or b) please stop spreading FUD.

I say this as a non-American, but there seem to be two Americas.

The first one is the Norman Rockwell vision of plenty and freedom. It really is like that - for some people, mostly white (or at least not black), in some places. Given how big America is, that means there are tens of millions of people who never see the bad side. Or when they do, assume that those involved deserved it.

The other side of the coin is for the people who end up on the wrong side of the internal colonialism. There's a lot of brutality there, but (like with many 3rd world or marginal countries) it's avoidable as a tourist.

The one thing you do have to make sure as a tourist is not to get in trouble with the border check agents.
Reddit threads are indiscriminate. I'd expect Facebook to filter the content to intelligently include posts from people that you know and correspond with frequently. There will probably be even more activity total across the system, but you'll see messages that you have a greater chance of caring about.

I suspect one of the goals of this product is to help sports fans group together, while also keeping sports-related content off the newsfeeds of non-sports-fans.

You're in good company in your well thought out justification of not tolerating intolerance. Religious groups who themselves benefit from tolerance yet preach intolerance don't need to change their bigoted beliefs -- they are free believe anything they want, right or wrong. They only need to behave as if they were tolerant (by not actively trying to strip away the existing rights of others, like Brendan did), to get along in a tolerant society that has the right self preservation and the right to defend itself from those who would destroy its tolerance and institutions of liberty (like gay marriage).

Paradox of Tolerance [1]:

Philosopher Karl Popper defined the paradox in 1945 in The Open Society and Its Enemies Vol. 1.

"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

He concluded that we are warranted in refusing to tolerate intolerance: "We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."

In 1971, philosopher John Rawls concludes in A Theory of Justice that a just society must tolerate the intolerant, for otherwise, the society would then itself be intolerant, and thus unjust. However, Rawls also insists, like Popper, that society has a reasonable right of self-preservation that supersedes the principle of tolerance: "While an intolerant sect does not itself have title to complain of intolerance, its freedom should be restricted only when the tolerant sincerely and with reason believe that their own security and that of the institutions of liberty are in danger."

In a 1997 work, Michael Walzer asked "Should we tolerate the intolerant?" He notes that most minority religious groups who are the beneficiaries of tolerance are themselves intolerant, at least in some respects. In a tolerant regime, such people may learn to tolerate, or at least to behave "as if they possessed this virtue".

Well, that's excellent news then. Thank you for the clarification.
But how sustainable is it? Patreon is rather simple: Users directly pay the artists, however much they want (and Patreon presumably takes some fee).

Youtube makes artists depend on Youtube's subscription and/or advertisement viability, which are largely outside of the control of both artists and consumers. Consumers cannot control where their money ultimately ends up, artists have little planning security.

I made some companies out of ideas that I had. I told everybody my ideas.

When I created my first company most people thought I was crazy when I told them my idea. It turned out to be a brilliant idea that worked very well but most people did not recognize it at the time, let alone put the resources to copy it...

In fact, because I was young and naive I was enthusiastic about it, but talking to people(specially experienced people) made you doubt in yourself.

Now I have friends that are also successful entrepreneurs, and it is a very common experience among us.

Now I don't talk with lots of people about my ideas, I don't want to argue or convince or whatever.This can make you to hang on on bad ideas by ego before they are tested. I just test them in the real world as fast as I can.

Most of them are not good once you test them, but thanks to them you iterate or discover good ideas.

ad links could be via redirects from the hosting site, intercepted by the web server plugin.

I agree it isn't quite as good but it is possible to make ads indistinguishable from legitimate site content.
The dilution isn't normally that severe. A 900x return at a 7% success rate would be better than a 1000x return at a 5% success rate.
If you have a website online and ask people to support you via patreon and reward them with some kind of extra feature on the site would this be seen as them paying for this feature? Contractually, or legally for example?

A bit like the idea of crowd funded projects could accept money but not delivering anything were looked at negatively in terms of legal contracts and people paying for things and services.

In my case, my hobby website of a few tens of thousands of users could benefit from some extra development time (backups, caching etc) and I was thinking of Patreon rather than a paid service to reward the donors with these new features. Would Patreon be a better fit for "support this and as a side effect get somewhat improved access to new features" rather than "I will give you X in return for your money". Seems like a Patreon donor may consider their donation as a service they have paid for, rather than a gift.

iPhones are even more expensive than flagship Android phones. iPhone users tend to use Macs which are even more expensive than their Windows counterparts.

No matter how you slice it, if your business idea evolves around targeting people willing to spend money on mobile apps you're gonna find a lot more of those on the iOS ecosystem.

Also don't underestimate the fact that on Android you'll have to support more users that cannot be converted to paying customers because they simply don't care enough about apps to spend money on it.

Allevent Is small and diverse group on mission: to help people discover the events happening around them. Hundreds of events happens in our city, but its difficult to find them out. All Events in City helps you do that..!!

Uniquely harnessing the power of the social media, we have created a smarter way to discover and share information regarding events. Started in 2011, All Events in City has 50 million+ events posted, 25 million users from 33,000 cities
all over the world. World’s fastest growing event aggregation platform having such a huge reach has become a platform for event organizers to promote their events at City, Country and/or Global level. We
are the connecting bridge between users who are looking for events and event promoters who are in search of their audience. There’s always a bigger picture. All facets of event marketing needs to be
understood and we cover the gamut.

You'd think, but every bigcorp I've suggested this arrangement to says it would want to put me on the payroll of their Canadian subcorporation, paid out in CAD at a 1:1 conversion of the USD rate. Kind of a lousy bargain, all told (though one I'm currently taking anyway from IBM.)

Is It Safe?
This is good advice. I love Twitter, and find you need to be ruthless in unfollowing anyone who ruins the experience for you. Unlike Facebook, there usually aren't social / real-world consequences for unfollowing someone on Twitter.

For people who are noisy but you still want to follow, shuffle them off into a Twitter list you check occasionally. I love @SwiftOnSecurity, but she's too noisy/frequent for my main feed, so I don't follow her and only include her in my Infosec list (that also includes @troyhunt and @tqbf).

You'll probably enjoy Twitter a lot more if you use 3rd Party clients like Tweetbot (Mac / iPhone) and Fenix (Android). Zero ads and more flexibility with features like Mute Filters (eg muting specific hashtags as well as specific users). The official Twitter experience is terrible.

Don't feel obligated to follow friends. This is often the fastest way to ruin your Twitter experience.

Micropayments have been the holy grail online for which everybody from the core web protocols working groups, to IBM to Ted Nelson's project Xanadu have been searching. It's a tricky one to solve, but with the emergence of cryptocurrency tech, there seems to be new hope.

I'm currently involved with a project called SatoshiPay (https://satoshipay.io/), which tries to solve just this headache by enabling micropayments (down to fractions of cents) from a Bitcoin wallet that's created automatically straight in the browser. Still early days, but I believe this could be a user-friendly solution to the micropayment problem.
I can't believe they wrote so much about what we English call cotton buds. Interesting tale, though.

A RedHat ploy may be, but certainly not to fight Solaris of all systems. Not even Oracle believes in Solaris (they are pushing Linux everywhere, and their own devs always target Linux first), and its community is basically as big as AmigaOS.

Systemd is just the end result of RedHat employing a dominant share of infrastructure-critical Linux developers and making too much money compared to other players.
FlexiHub to share USB over the network
Yeah, I'm suspicious too. The more I read about life in the US, the more I think the law system there is ripe for disruption. Lawyers are the middlemen, introducing huge inefficiencies and taking enormous rents out. Somebody needs to cut them out.
Access USB and serial ports remotely
FlexiHub allows accessing USB or serial devices plugged into network computers listed as nodes. It does not matter where they are located physically - in the next cubicle or across the globe.
Connect and disconnect to USB and serial devices
Not only you can access devices, you can also manage them remotely. Your physical presence is not required. It is totally safe to do it - thanks to use of encrypted communication protocol.

Detect device type automatically
Once you insert a device, FlexiHub automatically detects its type and displays it - a phone, a storage device, a camera, etc. This makes it easier to identify what device you need to access. Serial devices are marked with a special indicator to differ them from USB devices.
You are probably doing it wrong.
Thunderbolt can accomodate many protocoles but can it do them at the same time? I.e. drive a 4k monitor, and an ethernet connection, and power the laptop, and connect an external hard drive and printer through USB? To go the power supply hub way you need simultaneity.

Dove into react and redux and built a couple of small apps. They are amazing not because they add some "fancy" features but because they train you to think with a different, much cleaner and simpler, mindset. Before your brain "clicks" you feel miserable. After it does you think "why on earth isn't everybody using this??" and any problem is solvable by dispatching actions and building reducers (thank you Redux!).

Three days ago I spent a couple of hours on Meteor's simple-todos tutorial, trying to understand how everything was working (that is, at an abstract level). I felt great after finishing it. Two days ago I started building a service we'd like to launch within a couple of months, e-commerce like stuff. I felt miserable. Pushed the first "draft" with a customized sign up and I felt like I had no idea how to proceed.

Yesterday I spent 4 more hours, started using packages like autoform, collection2, something for bootstrap, iron-router etc. and I feel FREAKING GREAT. Again my brain clicked and now I implemented ~70% of the features with validation, defensive checks on the server for security, nice-looking popups, good overall UI... I mean, I intended it to be a prototype, maybe mocking some parts but, damn, we basically already have a MVP! In 3 days (effectively ~12 hours)! And now I already know how to implement the rest, it just feels natural now. Like when you have a solid plan and you think it through in your head and you KNOW how to implement each and every step of it.

You can hit a wall with Meteor as much as you can with any other framework (I mostly use Django). It's all about reading the docs, looking at what the community is doing and try to adhere to some "guidelines" (if there's no standard way of doing something). I will let you know how it scales when we reach a couple million users (bazinga!).
