Those are all valid reasons and of course it's understandable that you'd need to resort to using credit card debt if you had no other option.

However, had they been more frugal and put more effort into their savings prior to the event, they might not have needed to go into (as much) debt.

In general, early employees come from either your social network (not meaning Facebook et al, just people you know) or from like minded people like you might find here.

For a single employee either your terms need to be good or the person needs to be bought in big time (e.g. basically be a co-founder). Frankly just hiring an engineer isn't a cheap proposition so make sure you are really ready for it. It is possible you are more ready for a part time person or a contractor you can use X hours from monthly. If you hire someone vs contracting them the costs are fairly different, so make sure you have figured that part out too. Payroll taxes, workers compensation, liability insurance etc all add up pretty fast if you hire an "employee" vs use a contractor.

Also, don't feel bad for making legitimate posting on social media for a position. You aren't a recruiter spamming everyone you know daily for different positions, you are looking to find someone for your project, and most likely that person will come from your network of contacts.

I guess another factor is space.

For one thing you can go more 3D with crickets, whereas with chickens you would have to build additional levels if you wanted to 'stack' them.

Also, many people care about the welfare of the animals they eat, such as making sure they have space to roam and live some kind of life before they are slaughtered. I doubt anyone will care if you cram crickets in so tight they can barely move. So at least in terms of space, I imagine you're going to need much less land for a cricket farm.
Didn't Java do a similar thing, where they renamed Java 1.5 to Java 5?
Touche, you're right, but still just further my point.
4 hours is a lot of time out of someone's day, and a near-dealbreaker for anyone gainfully employed and having some semblance of a life. Do you not realize this?

Meanwhile, it really doesn't take long to find out if someone is "worth talking to." Ask them to provide a code sample, and talk to them about for 10 minutes or so. Or if you must use a coding exercise, really, just keep it short and sweet. A good coder can show you a lot about their sensibilities in their solution to even just a slightly non-standard sorting problem.

> If I take a chapter of a textbook, modify it to be a standalone volume in a collection of books and start distributing it, I am distributing a derived work of the original book, not a derived work of the collection of books. The latter constitutes an aggregation and unless there is some license (superseding doctrine of first sale in the case of books) that prevents it from being redistributed with such things, it is perfectly okay to do that.

I should elaborate that you need the original to be under license. Otherwise, you have a problem.

This doesn't sound like it's coming from the perspective of someone looking to archive or preserve these books, but rather someone who is looking to exploit other people to produce something they can monetize with no regard for quality.

They're accepting a container format (PDF) that's just a wrapper around a JPEG, PNG, TIFF or other rasters. Or they'd like a lossy format (JPEG) with no suggested compression settings.

They'd like you to use the enhancement features/filters of your scanner software which is like Instagramming your photos. Presumably because they don't have a processing workflow in place to perform this themselves.

They want you to convert what will natively be captured as RGB to CMYK, something you generally don't leave up to amateurs if you have any interest in maintaining an accurate conversion.

That all tells me they don't care to have quality master scans they can go back to, they just want something passable they can sell to others.

Update: also, read this comment right away. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11136948

I find this update very hard to follow. Can someone tell me if I'm misreading it? I'm going to quote it twice, and then attempt to summarize:

After examining the image from our July investigation, we discovered software capable of generating TOTP codes if provided a TOTP key. We found software implementing the decryption method we use to secure TOTP keys, along with the secret key we use to encrypt them. We also found commands in the bash history that successfully generated a one-time code. Though the credentials found were unrelated to any of the unauthorized Linode Manager logins made in December, the discovery of this information significantly changed the seriousness of our investigation.

and then:

The findings of our security partner’s investigation concluded there was no evidence of abuse or misuse of Linode’s infrastructure that would have resulted in the disclosure of customer credentials. Furthermore, the security partner’s assessment of our infrastructure and applications did not yield a vector that would have provided this level of access.

Linode’s security team did discover a vulnerability in Lish’s SSH gateway that potentially could have been used to obtain information discovered on December 17, although we have no evidence to support this supposition. We immediately fixed the vulnerability.

Here is my read of what this says; I'd like to know if I'm wrong.

"One of our customers got owned up in July, and gave us an attacker source address within Linode. We pickled up the attacker's host. In December, we examined the pickled host, and found secrets related to the way we store 2FA credentials, indicating that our credentials database may have been compromised. In conclusion: we have no idea how that could have happened."

Am I missing something else?

> We badly need a Semver', which is identical to Semver but starts from 1.0.0 and removes the 0.x.x rule. React is basically retro-fitting Semver' into their project.

Wouldn't that discourage releasing experimental code? I think the very first public release of react was 1.0.0 and they incremented the major version for subsequent incompatible changes, the current major version would be ridiculously high. I know if I did this for experimental code I throw up on github, this would be true.
The Cloud Debugger has open API's and plugin model. Anyone can write a Cloud Debugger agent, for any language, and have it integrated seamlessly to the Cloud Debugger experience.

There Cloud Debugger service exposes the clouddebugger API, which actually has two parts. The Debugger (which is intended for the UI) and the Controller (which is intended for the agent to interface).

The definitions are far more vague in this case. They could basically make the case that anything is "undermining social stability"; whereas making the same judgement in Canada would be tougher.

Yes and I'd prefer it if more websites offered it as a way to read their content or at least subscribe to their blogs for updates.

Being able to set up alerts to match certain keywords allows me to more actively consume their media and tends towards me actually supporting the continuation of their site because I noticeably consume and care for their media because I know it is there.

A site without an RSS feed means I need to manually check the site for any updates. Which means I'll never check the site for actual updates. Which means I never consume their media and wouldn't even notice if they closed their doors and shut down.
This is not meant to be purely controversial, but I thought long and hard about WSJ back a few months ago when HN mod (always forget his name) said to stop complaining about HN links being posted because paywalls were ok. I agree paywalls are ok. But some things are not ok.

Take a look, for instance, at the WSJ.com home page with an ad blocker turned on (note all the missing letters and scrambled up titles). They want me to pay, and they want me to see ads, and they want to track my behavior? Should I send them my DNA also?

Organizations like WSJ are exactly the disease that causes ad blockers to proliferate and ruin the web for all the decent publishers. They're at war with my privacy (by breaking their site intentionally when I visit with a blocker on). They want it all, ads, tracking, your private data, and subscription revenue, not to mention...

# Agenda-Driven Content

I mean, we're basically talking about NBC or Fox here, just on the web. Imagine every morning when you woke up you turned on the television and tune to some "news" show. After talking about the weather, they start talking about a lost pickle that is thought to be potentially alive and moving about with free will. Over the next two years, talk about the same pickle extends to every other TV show. Before you know it, everybody in the nation is talking about the same pickle. Years go by, and that pickle has become a part of our society, and that's not because people are born with an innate care the well-being of pickles, but because "news" shows taught them to be.

That's not a good position to be in. I have to believe I'm not the only one in here that doesn't watch any TV. So, why do we all treat the same media giants differently on the web? We crave their content so much that we build browser add-ons to get to their content, etc.

You can build a rather capable SoC with a 32 bit RISC core, DDR controller, Ethernet MAC, a couple of UARTs and a 800x600 colour VGA and an audio DAC on a cheap FPGA board like DE0 nano. It will run on 100mhz and be much more capable than an entire PC AT system, rather more like the Unix workstations of the early 90s.
It's a math problem. You make some assumptions, and then you solve the problem with respect to those assumptions.

Of course all models of the world are flawed. But some are useful. If you're wondering which restaurant you should stop at on your walk from a to b but aren't familiar with the area, you might assume you should pick the next place better than all previous after walking a third of the way home. That would be a reasonable application of this model.

Regarding your last point: I wouldn't base serious life decisions exclusively on an "optimal game theory" move. That would be nuts! This obviously doesn't perfectly model reality, so why act like it does?

They're also asking for users to descreen the images which is basically a blurring feature that gets rid of the halftone that's a result of offset printing.

They're not looking for high quality archival scans, they're asking users to perform some basic workflow tasks necessary to ready the images for distribution.

It all sounds very sketchy to me. That or they're just completely incompetent.

Yeah, I'm with you on this. Apple really does have to help, and they're reluctant purely because they know they made a vulnerable device. Helping would make them look bad because it would bring to light that they have the ability to help.

It sounds like they could have made a device that even a firmware update couldn't break, but they didn't. I really don't see how they can refuse. Your analogy is good.
I get full HD bitrates through pipelight (looking at the hidden menu in pipelight shows it at the highest bitrate).

This is a great move and hopefully inspires people to take a different look at what versioning is. Right now it serves two masters: marketing and engineering. If everyone just used semver as almost build numbers with meaning, and completely put aside the 'hidden meanings' of 1.x.y or 2.z.w, we'd be in a much better place.

The main issue with getting hung up on "what is a 1.0" or "when is this 2.0?" is that even if you finally make sense of it for YOURSELF, everyone outside has such a different interpretation that its meaningless no matter what. However, semver for engineering changes has meaning no matter what. Why hurt your users by introducing a breaking API change in the minor category just because "it doesn't feel like a major change"?

I wish we could just rename version to build, have it be semver and be done with it. Then version can be whatever you want and is completely ignored by computers and engineers. Call it version 1.0, version dog, version whatever "feels" right, while we start moving to a world where we can start maker safer decisions.

I didn't realize Wall Street had to make sense. Is that a new rule?
I absolutely agree that you should be allowed to change your opinion over time, as long as you do it 'honestly'. For example, it bugs me when people lambaste politicians for having a different opinion now as opposed to 20 years ago. But at the same time, by 'honest' I mean being open about the changes and not quietly twisting them or hiding them, which is what Torvalds is complaining about in that video. In the organisations I mention I was part of, the same thing applies - lip service paid to the (sometimes stale) principles, but the behaviour was rationalised very baroquely to fit those principles.

Re: the idealism stuff, my armchair psychology take on it is this: conservatives are passionate about things not changing, so minor differences don't matter so much because the overall goal is the same; progressives are passionate about things changing, so if the cart is going to move at all, it really needs to go in my direction. Add in the human predeliction for not seeing the forest for the trees, and the progressives will squabble over what really are minor differences.

I don't understand this. If the utility of money is roughly logarithmic, then that would imply the most fair tax bracketing would be a logarithmic curve. An example would be the "logarithmic flat tax" I see mentioned sometimes - figure out how many times above the poverty rate you make, log-10 it, and multiply by some flat constant (they usually recommend 9 or 10). If you plug in a middle-class earner's revenue to that formula, their effective tax rate is far lower than it would be under any flat tax I've seen mentioned. Flat tax in comparison is very regressive.

Why would you waste your liquidity on an asset so easy to secure a loan for as a car?

A five year new car loan from a credit union -- no shopping around -- has a cost of something like $58 / $1000 borrowed. So even if you have $20k cash on hand to buy a new car, for a thousand bucks you can maintain an extra $20k of liquidity for expenses that are more annoying or more expensive to finance, like auto repairs.
I expect these are red herrings:

1) As Bruce Schneier poits out, if Apple can write the code to break the security, so can others (especially if they steal Apple's signing key). (He also says the vulnerability is not just in the 5c but in current iPhones too.) [1]

2) Considering #1, and that every system ever designed has many vulnerabilities, I find it hard to believe that the US government hasn't developed exploits. Perhaps they just don't want to reveal that in such a high profile case.

> I also notice you didn't mention spouses, which are treated differently from friends

But not for reasons relevant to your argument. Spousal privilege exists not to protect privacy but to protect marriage. The rationale is that you shouldn't turn spouses on each other. It dates to a time when spouses were considered the same legal person.
