A rising tide lifts all boats and it's easy to hand-wave away the fact that it raises some boats much more effectively than others as a necessary compromise. A falling tide will be just as uneven but without a placating excuse. The true power dynamics become undeniable.

Perhaps it is one of those things that happen only for your first language?

Whenever I read English, I don't - I read through skipping syllables. But, I read/write two others, of which in Malayalam, I naturally read aloud in my head.

Which is rather odd, because these days I dream in English too (odd way of saying it, but my fears speak English).

A very nice product it seems. But people should be aware that having a US business, bank account and so on makes you a "US person" in the eyes of the US government which comes with downsides. If you recently tried to open a bank account somewhere you might have seen the form you have to fill out which tries to discover if you are indeed such a "US person". I don't know exactly what the result apart from probably the bank refusing to take you as a customer is since I am careful to not become such a "US person".

Nowerdays it's becoming increasingly a better idea to incorporate in a different country than the US if you can, especially for online businesses including privacy, tax and ease of doing business.
Skype is way better than hangouts first of all.

Secondly webrtc requires you to coordinate, it's not like I can just call someone. Just as well we could use TeamSpeak or Ventrilo or any of the old solutions.

Indeed. This already works the other way round: companies selling into China have to comply with their "great firewall" requirements.
I like the assertion that the US has 2 economies that are lumped together for statistical purposes.

I would imagine there should be some supporting artifacts of this in various reports. Where would one look to see data to support this (two clustered groups experience the world significantly differently).

I would imagine that publicizing this data would help people validate their concerns that no, things aren't going as well as I've been told.
Yes, and companies that have worked in that area have left the mobile phone marked (Qualcomm and Philips for example)
I relate totally, but

Just a thought: why is the doctor considered the "normal" one? Just because they're in the majority?

It's certainly possible that the majority is a temporary abberation. Even Homo Sapiens could be considered an abnormal mammal with a pesky, self-defeating, super-sized pre-frontal cortex.

But if there really is a genuine wave of care about the robot welfare sweeping the intertubes, then perhaps we need some ethics drawn up for when the robots have feelings.

It's a step in the right direction.

It would be hypocrisy if they claimed one thing and then did/acted another. Non-US bank accounts are listed in their FAQ and their general policy (not supported, use a US bankaccount as proxy) remains the same.

I hope Stripe changes their policy in the future (though you would have to rename your HN username then).
Nope, we're not looking to make money off the incorporation, though we of course hope the companies become successful Stripe customers!
Fair point! However, I stand by my pessimistic view of how things will develop after the buy-out.
There is also grep and awk which I use for small log files as well. I've written python scripts for very specific time order dependency analysis. Basically throw away python.

The question at hand is whether or not the DOJ can use the AWA to compel a company to weaken its product. It's unclear as yet whether the court will consider this too burdensome for Apple, or too expensive for the FBI to be able to reimburse Apple for any costs.

Apple's argument is that this will set a precedent, and the FBI will ask to unlock many phones in the future, possibly even to the point of preventing Apple from creating a phone that is not unlockable. Further, that the creation of the proposed hack will by its very nature put the whole iPhone ecosystem at risk if and when it gets out into the wild. The more requests that the FBI makes, the more people Apple will need to train to service such requests, and the more risk that there is a leak.

The analogy here, although dramatic, would be the atom bomb. Hillary even alluded to the need for a Manhattan-like project to circumvent encryption, although I don't think she thought that would be received as a bad thing.

The FBI's argument is that they're only asking Apple to unlock a single iPhone. The DOJ is unwilling to comment on how many iPhones law enforcement across the country would like to use this on, and defers to local officials to answer that question. They are pretending to focus on this one phone while knowing full well the value of what they're after. They wouldn't call up the AWA for a single phone.

Obama is unwilling to draw up legislation with congress about this issue given the nature of the public's attitude about mass surveillance, particularly during an election year. They're probably terrified this issue would fracture the public vote and then there's no telling who we will elect as the next President. So, they directed the FBI to use the AWA.

Which proves that GDP forecasts especially on a global scale is bullshit.

Continuous growth is another idiotic concept with contradicts with fluctuating, co-evolutionary nature of vastly complex competitive ecosystems (multi-level host-parasite co-evolution).

The difficulty is the same as with forecasting weather in areas with unique microclimates - each tiny valley in Himalaya has its own. One has to monitor its unique conditions to find recurring patterns and constraints.

Global forecasts of wastly complex processes are bullshit and attempts to use avarages is bullshit too.

There are thousands niche microeconomies witchin every region in the wirld, each controlled by its own unique constraints and variables and influenced by some variables of neighborhooring and related niches, etc. There are also climate, sociological, political, cultural factors, etc.

All such complicated models are wrong. They, like myths and religions, have no connection to actual reality while being taken on faith by corresponding sectarians.
You can totally use CocoaPods to add and update Fabric https://docs.fabric.io/ios/fabric/cocoapods.html. I'm not sure if this still requires the Fabric app but I didn't have issues with it.
the idea of using a backend platform for a frontend task like templating has a big flaw. you can't use any part of the template from javascript. so you might need to write everything twice when you start using ajax. I think it would be better to pass the data from your controller to something like node which then renders the html. then you could reuse this at the front end. of course doing the entire view part by front end javascript is also a possibility (with the disadvantage your site would not work when the user disables javascript). I think non-node web frameworks should address this problem by making it easy to let node do the rendering.
The front-end is the only part of the stack with a clear winner

Not just "I got nothing to hide", but "You shouldn't be able to hide anything", which is scarier.
We've come close to this already (mandated Clipper chip). Which would have been a disaster, in many areas.

IIRC, the ITAR rules even prohibited systems that lacked crypto, but that had pluggable APIs which permitted crypto to be added later (e.g., by the end-user). It's hard to see how legislation to the same effect would pass constitutional muster, but it's a gamble, and the administration has little to lose.

I'm very aware that US citizenship comes with legal hurdles when dealing with foreign banks, especially in Europe - but I'm not aware of any such issues with non-US citizens merely owning a US business entity.
I use Ruby, so I can't help you re: tooling. But if you are parsing a regular grammar with regular expressions, how much tooling do you need? The regexp does all the work. All you have to do is ensure that your data format is sane, that your delimiters can never appear in the data.

With stuff like your problem, I can never be sure the data is clean, so I always default to a format like CSV or JSON and use standard library tools. I would shudder to have to work with that kind of data in C / C++ for the very reason you're asking these questions in this thread. It's low-level code for a high-level task. You're bound to fuck it up eventually and not foresee an edge case.

But it would depend on what you want to do with the data. If you're walking trees, then you're going to want to store them in memory as trees. Whichever memory structure would be the most efficient in the algorithm you've got planned.

Personally, since it's relational, I wouldn't bother with file storage at all and just dump it into a relational database, even if it's just SQLite. That would give you the most flexibility.

I think this begs the question of why people pirate Windows instead of using Linux.

Because they don't know about Linux?

Because it's easier to get a working Windows installation, e.g. from a friend who also pirated Windows instead of using Linux?

Because Windows is (supposedly or really) better?

Because people want to use software (e.g. games) which is not (again, supposedly or really) available for Linux?
Well, after the Snowden reveals, everyone was talking about it every day for more than an year.

Did that actually lead to companies choose EU providers over USA ones? Not sure, but it certainly was a factor that many considered.

Especially in areas where client data is very sensitive (like healthcare), EU companies are extremely paranoid about it.
So it's a study about what a 136 person described on a forum?
hmm... Not sure we can jump on conclusion nor sure the population is big enough to user decimal points in the percentages.
While I applaud the idea, if you don't need to be US based:

1. It's ridiculous to incorporate in the US, due to ridiculous tax policies; and

2. It's a great way to upset local tax authorities + there are probably a ton of nasty side effects (e.g. some countries have "see through" taxation that taxes certain profits arriving in foreign entities at the shareholder level, or require board meetings to be held in the jurisdiction the company is based in, etc etc)

If you do this, make sure to get advice from local counsel, or it could end up being a very expensive exercise
Why did the IMF predict in each and every year that the downturn is over and the economy is going to grow in the next year? Is this perhaps a positive psychology thing?

> Same thing as when the SWAT team breaks down a door, just a digital version.

Not quite the same thing, because the SWAT team is not stealthy when it breaks down a door.

The stealth aspect is what bothers me about this: it's much harder to make ensure a stealthy operation sticks to all the rules than a public one.

In fact, the recent years in Germany have shown that the Parliament doesn't have firm control over what the various secret services do.

What is your method of adding events? Scraping Facebook events? Other random websites that show events, like virtualnights.com or so?

Edit: I see several dublicates for my city today (Bielefeld, Germany). I started checking since I saw that venues I like had two concerts today, and I thought, huh, they only have one stage, and saw it was the same, but labelled differently (Artist vs Tour name or so). So probably scraped from two websites that called it differently? Maybe this could be improved by comparing the venue and checking for similarity in the event name ("Iron Maiden - live" and "Iron Maiden on tour" might be the same event).

Born and raised, and currently still living in a third world country. What you say is true, except for education. At least, I don't see how you lower corruption as a cultural value without increasing the quality and pervasiveness of education. Where 'having a little on the side' is pretty much a cultural norm, how do you change it, if not via long term improvement of the educational system as the base for all other efforts? I'm actually asking this question, because I don't know of anything that is more important than education. Everything else helps, but unless you change the culture of accepting corruption, and of being a little corrupt, it won't do. And yes, I did say 'being a little corrupt', because it pervades the culture. Whereas big shots steal thousands or millions, the average Joe also tries to get away with not paying taxes, tries to not really work when he gets his government job. This all happens in my country, you'd be surprised how corruption is not something that happens just at the top, but everywhere. The person who takes home the school cafeteria lunch out of greed, just because he can and it is paid by the government is just as guilty as the business man who bribes his way out of paying thousands in taxes. How do you change this culture?

"The other major one is rehearsing possible social interactions, or having hypothetical conversations,..."

This week I started to experiment writing dialogs to untangle complicated situations where I don't know where to start from. It helps me to overcome mental blocks, when the situation becomes overwhelming.

One character is more logical, the other one is the one performing the actions. It's like a coach talking to a player. After a while coming back and forth fro the dialog and the code editor, I find myself in a deep flow, and then I don't need to write but I can "imagine" the conversation.

I was wondering if dialogues have a special properties for driving thinking, then I remembered Plato the philosopher, he use to write his "Plato dialogues" although I never read them.
It is of course possible (likely?) that the policy could be expanded at any time... so perhaps maintaining a maximum distance is indeed a prudent policy for those currently outside the grips of the US tax feeders.

Yes, the company will be subject to US taxes but Delaware is a tax haven so it should be lower that wherever you live.

The problem is when you want to get money out of that company, to your home country. You'll have to pay taxes in your home country... Unless you take the plane with a suitcase full of cash once in a while.
Clay Shirky recently tweeted (yeah, that's right) an interesting analysis of this:

Very interesting. It almost reads like it's oriented to first-time businesses, but makes almost no mention that a Delaware company is probably overkill for most people starting out.
Whether or not humans are "more than" machines is a vast subject of debate.

What is interesting right here, however, is the fact that watching this video many people do feel some sense of empathy for the robot.

The editing of the video deliberately and perhaps inexpertly(1) heightens that, but I think we'll be surprised (as a society) at how we "feel" when robots really start walking the Earth.

Citi, HSBC and JPM in certain cases do this.
I can easily imagine taking pride in maintaining a well-written project doing amazing things. I believe most people unhappy with maintaining someone else's work are dealing with neither, and are furthermore discouraged from doing anything to make it better. Just complete the tickets as quickly as possible, and keep your head low.
From my experience the difficult part of a FAQ isn't converting the questions and answers to rendered HTML, it's writing the content itself.
Kudos to the Stripers for continuing to innovate in the payments space! Really enjoying the simplicity and elegance of your btc payment solutions ;)

This definitely isn’t for everyone — and people’s situations will be different — but based on what we’ve seen there are plenty of entrepreneurs who have already (painstakingly) done this or would like to do it. Our goal is to make what people are already doing more understandable and remove roadblocks so this is available to everyone who wants to go this route.
Tox does all of that. XMPP does all of that. WebRTC does all of that. There are tons of shitty proprietary clones of Skype that also do all of that, too. There are plenty of options, people just don't use them because all their friends are on Skype.
I would expect as more of the world becomes automated and work becomes easier, we would see more economic growth.
https://stripe.com/atlas/faq#Who-should-use-Atlas

"We expect Atlas to be most beneficial for entrepreneurs who have a global customer base, plan to raise money from global investors, or who plan to build an operational presence in the U.S.

While incorporating in the U.S. can make many things much easier, it also comes with long-term legal and tax implications. You should think carefully about whether it’s best for your business and consult advisors as necessary.

(Please note that there are a number of business categories that we can’t support in the U.S.)"

Not for foreigners, for people who want to have a US operations, raise money, or have customers in the US. I think ops, raising money, or having us customers is the right order to think of it too.
Why do you think it would be legal to mention the existence of the backdoor?

In the absence of growth the only way for an individual to get more resources is to take it from someone else. Life becomes a zero-sum game. This is a qualitative change. The game stops being who can make the most pie to who can take the most.

I know the feeling... but I'm still at the "Lisp looks like parenthetical line noise, and what even is* ML?" stage, so I haven't yet tackled those.

Forth, to me, seems to be bring out the "mechanicalness" of the computer, in a weird sort of way. Of course it's just another programming language, but the philosophy and mentality behind it seems to lean in that direction. I like it for that, and its minimalism. :D
