Theoretically, nvidia.ko never comes in the same dvd / usb-stick / download as the kernel, it's always a separate piece installed by the user later (even if with a helper program). "Super Easy" derivatives of mainstream distros may include nvidia.ko (and libdvdcss etc) in the initial install, but mainstream distros including ubuntu do not. So they could say, if there was some violation of license going on, it wasn't them doing it, because they were not distributing something derived from the linux kernel. They may separately offer some "shim" code and binary under a separate license that the user then combines with the linux kernel headers on their own machine, and does not distribute the combination.

That's one of the attempted justifications anyway. So what's more "audacious" here is Ubuntu distributing zfs.ko included in the initial install, and not requiring a dkms-like setup.

There's disagreement, even among core kernel developers, about whether nvidia's binary kernel module is OK. The fact that they've gotten away with it for a long time doesn't mean that it's OK, just that it's somewhere between hard and impossible to enforce copyleft (for various reasons worth of a separate post). ref: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/1/411
It doesn't, and I'm not saying that it is.

However, the perception of some naive entrepreneurs is that being on Product Hunt is a one-way ticket to success, which is why there are tons of blog posts on Reddit and Medium about success stories: https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/search?q=Product+hunt&rest...

Another trend in those stories is "I had a strong network upvote my product!" which entrepreneurs think is a good thing (the hustle!) and obviously does not matter in the real world.

> Do you really think that keeping stuff on your phone is more secure than keeping it elsewhere?

I think it certainly could be and probably is. Apple seems to be taking phone security pretty darn seriously with combined hardware/software approaches.

Furthermore, my servers sit in a datacenter or my apartment that I rely on somebody else to look after. Really though, you could probably bribe/threaten/warrant your way into those places easily enough and just pull RAM/HDDs to your heart's content. On the flip side, my phone stays in my pocket or next to my bed. If you want my phone, you have to arrest me/steal it from me/whatever.

During a lawful arrest, and the search has to be documented and relevant to the arrest. Furthermore, that assumes that they know my password (Which I'm not currently obligated to give to them).

I use an ergodox and recommend it highly. Massdrop has drops of the "ergodox infinity" from time to time, which is assembled except for the keys (you'll need to solder them in yourself, but that's a lot less work than building the original design)

There's a difference between streamlining useless micromanagement and removing gameplay mechanics.

To use XCOM as an example:

The 1994 game featured a time unit stat. You would have to measure out, manually, the number of tiles you would move past, multiply that by four (the amount of TU moving one tile would take), add two if you were kneeling at the start of the turn, subtract two from the available total if you wanted to kneel at the end of the turn, and subtract from the available total the number of TU necessary for the number of shots (or reaction shots) you wanted to take. On top of that, there were three different shot types (an aimed shot that would take up almost all TUs, an auto shot that would take up about half of the available TUs, and a snap shot that'd only take up about a quarter but also maxed out at a 20% chance to hit, making it mostly useless). This process and complexity was not fun, especially since the UI didn't make it easy to count the tiles you'd be moving.

The 2012 removed TU and replaced it with a few systems. For moving, you have a pair of lines that marked a move or a dash. A basic move allows for a shot (either on-command or as a reaction), while the dash would extend range (and could be coupled with a shot based on a class-specific ability). A single character move takes seconds instead of minutes, regardless of the platform. It took an overly-complex mechanic, simplified it, and made it more fun.

Civ 4 vs Civ Revolution. Civ Rev combat is simplified in a bad way -- it's build a giant stack of combined "army" units and whittle away at your opponent, with combat resolved by die rolls and modifiers rather than unit attributes.

It's worth noting that the new XCOM was developed by creating a board game; measuring distance is common in tabletop war games (think Warhammer and its ilk).

In my mind, it's a suitable like-for-like replacement of TUs (you still have to balance movement, exposing the map, etc., with firepower) with an implementation that requires less fiddling with the UI.

I found the discussion of the culture of Tumblr interesting, but I was left wondering more about the broken business model of Tumblr. They really don't seem to want to share with their influential users the value they generate. The lack of transparency into Tumblr's actions would also be worrying to me if I was involved in the platform. Watching Twitter drop the ball in similar ways makes me think there is a market opportunity for a social network that gives its users basic rights that we demand in our offline world. I'm growing more to like the "social network at a utility" model that I believe some in Twitter unsuccessfully argued for in its earlier days.

For me, this is one of the main reasons I want to try to take up meditation (I still haven't). It just seems so absurd that simply sitting down and doing nothing would feel so uncomfortable. So, why not do it and maybe discover what is going on.
> A) Opt out of "overage fees and bounced-check insurance" which would be the problem here, not debit cards. Keep track of your own finances.

How would that work? With banks in the UK, you can either say (1) let the charge through, in which case they will charge you "unapproved overdraft fee" or something, or (2) reject the charges, in which case they will charge you "unpaid transaction fee" and not pay the bill (which I think is a crime, because they're literally charging you for nothing - as they didn't deliver the service (pay the charge)), in addition the company that issued the request will charge you a fee as well.

I can only hope that elsewhere, regulations are a bit more sensible so that there is no potential for this kind of abuse.

> They are not making it impossible to create "yet another Linux flavour" but they are not making it easy.

In 2004, the entire Ubuntu distribution team fit into a small conference room and still managed to produce a new distribution that was significantly more compelling than any other available at the time. They were able to do this because Debian provided a convenient base and was released under a license that made this possible. If Canonical had been forced to modify every package in order to remove every reference to Debian, there would be no Ubuntu.

The same might happen again. There's no reason to believe that Ubuntu is the final stage in the evolution of desktop Linux, but right now it's probably the most credible. If someone wants to be able to experiment then they should be able to do so. We don't produce better software by stifling creativity for no reason other than brand protection.

> would you suggest that everyone build their own car?

Not sure where are you going with that. There are several hundred different models of car for sale around the world. And still several hundred that count.

There are some tens of Linux distros that count. That is indeed evidence that people mostly don't care about them, and that's what the GP was arguing.
Producthunt tends to attract the same sort of 'undergrad CS major with a business minor' types that has contributed to the valley's reputation a status circle-jerk since the 90's. I think producthunt is also the natural result of hackathon culture---a culture where how you dress up a project and sell it matters infinitely more than the technical prowess or understanding that building it took.

For anyone in the know---have they fixed their issues regarding product submission? IIRC, they have some weird, draconian rules regarding multiple submissions, so if someone happens to submit your side-project and you weren't really ready for the traffic they just tell you 'too bad' (that is unless you have some well connected VC pulling strings for you).

Ask HN: How do I evaluate different opportunities?
I'm in unexplored territory in my life. After teaching myself web development for a couple months I finally got a contract-to-hire gig with a startup. I love the company and believe in the product, but they're not currently in a position to make any promises about employment.

However, I recently had the opportunity to meet with the founders of a consulting agency that is expanding really quickly. They're interested in hiring me full time.

Being new to the work force, especially the startup scene, how do I evaluate these two opportunities? What questions should I ask, in terms of compensation (both monetary and otherwise) to influence my decision?

Thanks!

Once the networks are trained it's probably very cheap to run the service.

But I guess that's my point, the pricing puts it out of reach of free or cheaper subscription products. Even the robot example they give in the video to achieve that functionality it would have to be taking a picture every couple of seconds or so and uploading them to the cloud - at that rate it would cost almost $5 for 15mins of use!

Careful: The law in this area isn't necessarily the same in all jurisdictions. Even within the EU there have been relatively few test cases so far and unless I've missed something recent the position with temporary copies is still not entirely clear.

Sadly, the past few years have seen lawyers argue the minutiae of EU directives and national IP laws to the extent that any original intention or moral or economic justification for copyright has long been forgotten. Basically, this has become exactly the kind of area that gets lawyers and legal systems a bad reputation, where sometimes quite significant amounts of power are being assigned based on obscure technicalities in how laws at different levels of government have been drafted.

> While Conrad had planned to hire 20 sales reps by the end of 2014, Dalgaard said the target should be five times that. “You guys gotta get your heads out of your asses, start focusing on going big here,” Dalgaard said, according to Conrad. Conrad and Dalgaard would later clash, with the investor pushing the CEO to stop hiring altogether in the summer of 2015, a person familiar with the matter said. Dalgaard also urged Conrad to run audits, conduct an employee survey, hire more top executives, and expand the board — all things that Conrad resisted, this person said.

Hmmmm, "a person familiar with the matter" sure makes it sound like Dalgaard was doing everything in his power to encourage Conrad to act responsibly. I wonder who this person could possibly be and whether they have a personal agenda of some sort.

Does it strike anyone else as maybe a little bit irresponsible that a partner at one of the world's preeminent VC firms would pressure a founder-CEO to hire as aggressively as possible and shortly thereafter castigate said founder-CEO for their company exhibiting all the telltale signs of hiring too quickly?

Author ONLY of "to kill a mockingbird" (seriously, she only ever wrote one book, weirdness)
Are you sure you tested with a 301 redirect (with no caching headers) and not 302 or one of the others? I've been bit by 301s personally.
If you want to understand the process she went through to get to Mockingbird, read Watchman.

She wrote it whilst being urged on by several friends and when she took it to her agent was told that she had some good ideas, but it was stronger in some parts than others. She should focus entirely on Scout's youth, and to deal with Atticus' battle with racial tensions in that town.

She went away, produced Mockingbird, the rest is history. You can see the process right there in Watchman.

If you try and read them as a pair, you will get annoyed: anecdotes repeated in both have key facts changed that change their meaning and the characters involved in them.

It's not as polished, tuned or as well paced as Mockingbird. It's a piece of work that pays testament to a talented writer finding her voice, but hasn't quite found it yet.

And for that, it's fine. But don't read it if you aren't interested in the writing process and just want a good story: just re-read Mockingbird instead.
> If the shipped source doesn't contain enough information to actually perform a build surely that's a straight-up GPL violation

Package A's source code contains some undefined behaviour that gcc 4.4 tolerates. The distribution upgrades to gcc 5.1 and the build now breaks, but nobody notices because no new version of Package A has been uploaded and so no new build has been performed. Is your position that it was in compliance with the GPL before the gcc transition, and in violation afterwards?
Sure, it's hard. In your list, you forgot the E visa, which is extremely relevant to the HN crowd. Assuming you have a startup that is starting to take off in Europe, you will be able to move to the US to establish its US branch. It makes complete business sense (for a successful startup to expand to the US), and the visa is very easy to get (provided you use an experienced lawyer).

The E visa may not work for you today, but two years from now, who knows where your European startup will be.
