I notice that there's an inherent conflict between the democratic approach found at Debian, Mozilla, W3C, etc versus the dictatorial approach of Apple and so on.

In a way, it mirrors the difference between free markets and command economies. Free markets tend to be resilient, offer individuals the most power, and tend to favor those with skill at the expense of lots of market fragmentation and inefficiency. Command economies, by contrast, can have everything working together towards one common goal, and allow for every individual to have some measure of equality and security. They can operate with either far more efficiency than a free market, or far less... and the fortunes can rapidly change.

Democracies respond by then copying the innovation of the risky dictatorial/command experiments.

Ubuntu is trying to do a little of both. It tries to be like Apple, and thus doesn't try to conform to the general FOSS community initiatives if it thinks they aren't innovating correctly or quickly enough. That is why they created Unity, Mir, and many other in-house projects. Tightly integrating branding into the products is just par for the course.

By not trying to go along with the program, they annoy everyone else. But since the Debian Technical Committee, X Foundation, Linux Foundation, and W3C committees are not like the Comintern or the Apple board of directors, they have no power to enforce that program. Hence the fragmentation.

Mr. Money Mustache is pretty awesome but the guy had a very highly paid job that allowed him to retire early. Some of us are fiscally responsible and don't make all that much cash - I find that a lot of his advice is fairly useless unless you have some money to begin with.
I think the answer to your question depends on how much free will we actually have. There is strong evidence that we, speaking in terms of averages over the whole population, are successfully manipulated into purchasing unnecessary things. Even though it appears to each individual that each purchasing decision is an exercise in free will.
You lost me on your opener LOL ..."I don't have kids..."

I have three.

You can't "shelter them" from drugs or guns? Should we give them those as well?

That's just what the world needs.
The whole article was fun. I loved it. Also to take it a step further, I wouldn't apt-get install npm, I'd first use ruby to install homebrew, then brew install nodejs, then npm install bower, then bower install. Because linux doesn't have enough package managers to manage my package managers to manage packages managed my package managers.

Can my employer sue me over IP if I rewrite my side project from scratch?
So, I'm in this company, and I've been developing a side project for a while, and the day I left saying "I want to start a company", my employer responded with "no you can't because the IP is ours".

The product in itself is in this very gray area where it cannot be considered as something completely related to my employer's business, but that would be a valuable tool for them to use. Now I don't believe the idea behind the product is neither patentable, nor particularly inventive. It's mostly a blend of existing features in other tools that are mixed in to one.

Now as I understand it, what they own then is the copyright on the code, pretty much, and perhaps the way the application looks. But If I was to rewrite the tool, in a different language for example, and if I made it look different enough, they would have no grounds to bas this IP claim upon. Am I correct in saying that?

Sure it would be painful because it would involve lawsuits and everything, but how big would be the risk of losing in court?

You didn't read the article did you.
Didn't you read the article at all? It's only a few paragraphs:

"So how did Daily Mail embed the visualization without the word “poop” popping up on an empty page? They downloaded all the files from my server on to their own server and deleted the snippet that brought up a poop alert. That way they didn't have to deal with those pesky safeguards I setup.

In other words, The Daily Mail deliberately stole my work."
> At the moment the problem in the US is labor scarcity. Robots haven't replaced these jobs, these jobs just don't get done.

Labor scarcity is another word for "there aren't enough people who want to work for less," and you describe it as if it's a good thing for society as a whole.

We have minimum wage for a reason, because with wages low enough to make a neighborhood chai-seller a possibility, it means that the lower limit of a societal standard of living plummets.

The fact that you present India, with its extreme income inequality, as an example of a country that provides an ideal lifestyle for you is indicative.

I'm not well versed in the history of consumer debt, but 34% carrying month-to-month debt seems historically high, since consumer credit cards were only widely introduced in the mid-20th century[1], and took a few decades to reach mass penetration.

The page you linked to shows that even the events of 2008-2009 didn't set people back from expanding their personal debt, which is surprising to me. Given our fairly short history with widespread revolving debt, we might be setting ourselves up for another, bigger, debt crash that the government won't be able to bail out.

Of course, revolving debt does have a longer history than that, but it was often used as a "barely-there" facade for stealing money from the poor, e.g. coal miners living in a company town weren't paid enough to buy food at the company store, so they ended up in life-debt to their supposed employer. Of course, in that scenario, the company made money even if the coal miner died without paying them back the full amount they owed. These days, companies trade consumer debt like it's real money, and get in actual trouble when the music stops.

- Devalue Yuan by 50%. Don't like it, Apple? tough

Actually, I think Apple would love that. Decreases their manufacturing costs. :)
Downloading all files and re-uploading them without attribution is pretty akin to digital IP theft however.
Two reasons come to mind:

1. Tarsnap isn't VC-backed, so it can't play the "sell dollar bills for 80 cents each" game to expand its customer base. (On the flip side, this means that you don't have to worry about Tarsnap shutting down if it can't get any more VC money.)

2. "Consumer grade" backup services save a lot of money thanks to the fact that their customers skew heavily towards using only a small fraction of the storage space they are paying for. I think that approach to pricing is borderline dishonest; with Tarsnap you'll pay for exactly what you use (which means that a lot of people are paying a few cents per month).
One wrinkle here is that some debts have variable rates. For instance, if you have a balance with a 3% variable rate and one with a 5% fixed rate, but you are in a rising interest rate environment, the 5% fixed rate loan is effectively a hedge on the 3% loan. It drags up your effective loan rate while interest rates are lower than 5% but it lowers your effective rate if rates rise above 5%. You can determine whether this is a valuable hedge by estimating the likelihood of rates exceeding 5% long enough to make exceed the cost of the hedge.
It's worse! You still route traffic to the site and don't even pay for your own bandwidth, while reaping the benefits of their content.

Also, they didn't just embed an iframe - read the whole article.
I think it's peer pressure, every small things that urge them to be the best in their job of consumers and that trick who is: actually paycheck is only valuable when (and not how) you use it (for most people).
He had, shall we say, "protections" in place to prevent his page from being embedded.

Daily Mail downloaded his source files, removed the protections, and then embedded their own iframe referencing the copied files with the protections removed.

I'd say that counts as stealing.
They're difficult to use for two reasons:

1} The ones being sold where I live have a release--a sliding thumb lever--that you have to slide and hold down to release fuel...it's part of the neck of the spout...this ties up one hand which would normally be used to either hold the can by the handle, or support it from the bottom...one hand on the handle and one supporting the bottom provide better control when tipping and pouring...

2} The release on the neck is positioned so that there are only a few inches of "free spout" at the end...this makes it awkward to insert it deeply enough into a car fuel tank filler neck...

The larger and heavier the can the greater the difficulty...
the next thing you know, your political opinion became filtered like ads.
And I think this is the key. Debt is a weight on people and it wears them down. You need to build that person back up even if that means not taking the absolute most efficient means to pay off the total debt.
Dodgy as hell though, if you do it without attribution. And you are sticking the true owner with the bandwidth costs.

Also: "So how did Daily Mail embed the visualization without the word “poop” popping up on an empty page? They downloaded all the files from my server on to their own server and deleted the snippet that brought up a poop alert. That way they didn't have to deal with those pesky safeguards I setup."
Tread loans to family and friends as gifts. Treat any payments you receive in return as gifts of gratitude. If you're not comfortable with this idea then you are not comfortable with loaning money to your friends and family.
Downloading someone's website and re-hosting it one your own server without permission is surely a copyright infringement?
You can remove 'pretty akin to digital'. But also it's copyright infringement, not theft.
I can't help but think that it would make sense for Mr. Yau to either (a) Change the server setting to emit the X-Frame-Options: DENY header or (b) monetize views on his graphic.

In general, you can't assume people won't deep-link your content, and that includes embedding. Taking steps to protect against or take advantage of traffic spikes is the responsibility of a content provider.

This, of course, wouldn't protect against DM just straight yanking all his assets and hosting them itself, which should be clearly immoral (and possibly illegal, depending on jurisdiction). But "framers gonna frame" is a fair thing to assume about the nature of web content, along the lines of "<img> tags are cheap and if people see something funny on your site, they're gonna use 'em to share it."

I've been a big fan of ipvlan since it was added to the kernel[1] mainly for the reasons you've outlined and the overall reduction in complexity compared to bridges and overlay networks. It should also be noted that ipvlan offers a bit of an improvement over macvlan because ipvlan also works in places where L2 is not an option (i.e cloud providers).

In the post you mentioned one of the drawbacks to adopting ipvlan was the lack of tooling to manage it. To address this issue, and a few others[2], Kubernetes has recently adopted the Container Network Interface(CNI)[3] standard as the solution for managing network plugins in Kubernetes. CNI ships with a few plugins including ipvlan and, maybe more importantly, the ability to allocate and manage IP addresses[4]. Over time CNI should give Kubernetes the flexibility to work well with multiple container runtimes including Docker and rkt, while allowing third party solutions to fill in the gaps around networking.

Sure. But if the other providers don't have an API, it may take hiring a bunch of fax machine runners for a few years. Doesn't mean that was the end game plan... especially if they could automate as much of the fax machine running as possible.
Governments have seized servers, governments have hacked servers, governments have had colocation companies provide them with access to servers, governments have gotten warrents to enter private residence fuck with computer and then leave without target ever knowing. The NSA has probably gotten backdoors/vulnerabilities built into server chipsets / motherboards.

You are naive if you think any device is secure against a determined and well funded actor.
Sure but at least the security of the system is proportional to the strength of your password.

>At the moment the problem in the US is labor scarcity. Robots haven't replaced these jobs, these jobs just don't get done.

Labor scarcity in the sense that there's not enough people who need work, or in the sense that there is not enough people who have the necessary skills? I would have to assume the latter. If that is the case, aren't most of these scarce skills the type which are used to service and maintain the very automation which would be used to implement a UBI?

>When robots provide the same level of services to the US middle class, that would be a signal that we might need to think about something like a BI.

Automation already provides a much higher level of services than human workers in many areas. Do we really want to wait to the very end of this process to begin the transition?
I've used this strategy, and it's pretty awesome if you have a lot of smaller debts that snowball pretty quickly.

I have only one site where I have access to server logs, (I think). I am using Smugmug to host my photos. Their stats exclude my logged in sessions.

So I have about 1700 pageviews under SmugMug stats whereas only 63 pageviews on Google Analytics this month. GA shows only 24 sessions. Smugmug doesn't have sessions info. It is kind of hard to believe that so many people are using AdBlockers but I guess that is the future.

But since Smugmug doesn't provide sessions info, it is possible that there were a few people with AdBlocker are responsible for most of the views under Smugmug stats.
My take is prove if it works and gets enough traction before you fuss over how well you scaled. If that meant you had to hire 100 people to fax things for a year or two, that seems reasonable (especially if you aren't losing massive money because of it). I suspect you could still be profitable without automating 100% of selling insurance. Source: Every other insurance agency out there.
This whole idea that "oh you have multiple creditors obviously you've made bad decisions" is misguided and naive in the extreme.

People have medical bills. People need the counsel of attorneys. You generally need a reliable car to get to work and a roof over your head. You can have huge mountains of debt and be forced to dig your way out by the skin of your teeth through no fault of your own.

Paying hundreds a month in credit card interest is not reserved for shopaholics.

> Devalue Yuan by 50%. Don't like it, Apple? tough

Why wouldn't Apple like this? Their manufacturing costs would become much lower, and they would rack up even more billions in profits.
I don't think they'd go that far. They're mainly interested in controlling information. Nationalization, that would only accelerate the decline of the economy by spooking foreign companies who would soon high tail it leaving behind tons of idle machinery and idle workers, something the PLA would rather avoid.
Browser-integrated adblockers can do better, because they have access to the page content. Host-based blacklists don't work as well; they can only handle hosts that serve ads and nothing else, not hosts that serve both ads and non-ads.

But yeah, host-based blacklisting is the only approach with a hope of working outside the browser. Transparently proxying web traffic wouldn't (and shouldn't) work with HTTPS, and is an incredibly bad idea even with HTTP.

The article states that the Daily Mail scraped the files and uploaded them separately, to avoid his iframe detecting JS.

And "just monetize it" feels like a... simplistic approach. Even if the Daily Mail did a normal iframe embed, how would the author monetize, exactly?
