Why Socialism? [by Einstein, 1949]
Another article on this actually mentions a bit more detail about the tax break, and the hilarity that ensued. They built the tax break specifically for Google, so Google would build there. Problem is... the law they wrote excluded Google.

So they had to go back and REWRITE the law, to ensure Google, the company they made the break for, qualified for it. And then they're getting upset another provider is trying to get the advantage they wrote for Google to use.

When tax laws are being written specifically for a company, our government has a problem.

Well, that's an easy fix - view the page in the Tor browser too. Or better yet, run the whole rig inside a VM which is forcibly routed over Tor transproxy. Of course - this is sort of Tor abuse and freenet is the better solution for this purpose, but if you need to view something over this in (relative) anonymity, it is still possible.

And I'm curious, where does it "define" him? he posted a Hillsong song.

No respect for your comment I'm afraid, as it shows your own personal biases very clearly.
Really sorry to hear this. Standby, I'm looking into it.
Right, but you can't really anticipate all the ways that people might technically comply with a law while eviscerating the purpose of it. So let's say they specified a minimum price. And then Comcast "complies" by offering the cheap gigabit service, but in order for it to work more than just on Tuesday and Thursday, you have to pay a huge premium.

Okay, so you say it has to be available 24/7 to comply, but then even Google can't meet that so you add another requirement. Or maybe you have to anticipate legitimate cases of hyperinflation...

At some point you have to just step back and say, "stop being a dick, that's pretty clear not what the law meant and you're just abusing it".
> Exotic quote types and being paid for making the cross is where this explanation seems to hit market realities.

What exactly is an "Exotic quote type"?

Do you mean order type because there is a huge difference. If you don't understand the difference it makes it hard to take your assertion seriously.
I was under the impression this agreement, at least initially, was to prevent anticompetitive poaching.

Suppose Apple wants to dominate search. One way to do so is to poach every Google search engineer by offering to triple their salaries. These companies agreed not to do that.

Yeah, it's illegal, but what options did these executive have? California effectively bans noncompete clauses. And there's enough money in the system and teams are typically small enough that dismantling a competitor is feasible.

Google Engineer Sarah shouldn't be paid triple Google Engineer Jessie just because she works on a product that's valuable to Competitor X.

Edit: original post not clear enough. Reproducing a reply below:

>The problem was with using money to prevent your competitors from doing business. Doing so subverts the free market.

Suppose every time a competitor rented office space, you bought the building and evicted them.

Suppose Walmart opens a store in SoMa that sells groceries at a tenth of what surrounding stores sell, then jacks prices when those stores fold.

To ELI5: you run a lemonade stand. Your neighbor Susie also has a lemonade stand. Susie's mom doesn't like your parents and wants you to fail, so she pays the store $500 to not sell you lemonades. Yeah, the market price of exclusive lemonade rights is now $500, but unreasonable sums are being spent to prevent competition. Something's wrong.

There are laws against most anticompetitive practices, but not all.

Part of the motivation behind the poaching agreement was filling a gap. You could dismantle a competitor by paying everyone and anyone in their product's critical path to simply not work there anymore.

The solution, an antipoaching agreement, was illegal.

I am one of the 1Password developers.

If you only want to pair it once then you will need to store the pairing secrets somewhere. Since both server and the client are running on the same machine, it is going to be trivial to obtain this information.

Re: other password managers did something. It must have something to do with the disdain for obfuscation that we had for a long time. Encryption is good, obfuscation is a lie. We always felt if we obfuscate something then we will be lying to everyone. I am not blaming anyone and concede that our position might be a bit naive in this case.

Curl vs. Wget
It's to encourage Google to build their gigabit service in that area first, rather than elsewhere in the US.
Well, to use the current example, the monopoly can be broken with buildouts of wireless mesh networking.

By contrast, government intervention might well make wireless mesh networking, as a methodology for reconstructing the internet, far less plausible.
But even if they could, UNIX domain sockets aren't immune to attacks. That sort of the problem with "First, assume your machine has been pwn'd".
I'm all for process and I think it's really important, but putting so much extra emphases and importance on numbers that don't aways give good estimates doesn't help anyone.
Because then some construction company would lay fiber and not hook it up. Or hook it up, but put a 10/100 switch on the other end. Or hook it up, but throttle everything coming through it. Or ...

They're incentivizing "offering a service", and it's better for that to come as a discount on existing revenue rather than free money.
Governments were plenty able to monopolize math when computing power was scarce and expensive. That monopoly slipped as computer power got cheaper and more widely accessible. Now everybody has a computer in their pocket that's as fast as the world's fastest supercomputers were in 1990, so the monopoly is well and truly dead.
Principles of null-free programming
comcast doesn't always deploy gigabit even to people willing to pay the $300 / month (like me). Don't know anyone in houston who has been able to get it successfully. Does anyone actually have comcast gigabit anywhere ?
I'm not joking: much of the light gray text on your site and your screenshot becomes literally unreadable when my LCD monitor is viewed at certain angles, not far off perpendicular; it becomes the same color as the background. My monitor may not be expensive, but it's not a cheapo, no-name one either.

I absolutely detest this current fad of thin, light gray text on white backgrounds. Instead of using high-contrast, easy-to-read text, people are using gray-on-white, white-on-gray, even gray-on-gray, and always with thin, narrow-stroke fonts and enormous amounts of whitespace.

And if it's hard to read indoors with no glare on a full-size screen, imagine trying to read it on a mobile device, outdoors, with sun/sky glare, or indoors on a reflective, glossy screen with fluorescent lights' glare.

I mean, look at the bottom of your page. One of the most important links on the page, the "Contact" link, is very light gray, thin text on white. When the cursor hovers over the bottom of the page, the links become slightly darker gray. And when the cursor hovers over a link, it becomes an even darker--wait for it--gray. You've effectively made the "Contact Us" link invisible.

And the screenshot of your product exhibits the same problems: the UI fades into the background to such a degree that it is difficult to see. This is bad enough when talking about a web page whose primary purpose is to look stylish, but your product's primary purpose is to be a usable tool. Are you trying to make the wiki equivalent of Das Keyboard?

Where do these fads come from?

For a good illustration of the problem, I just discovered this web site (which also lists HN as an example of the problem): http://contrastrebellion.com/
I, personally, have thought about buying this exact same model, because having a thing on my wrist that I can use to quickly see my notifications and respond to them seems appealing to me. Plus, it is fairly cheap, so in my head while I was considering this, I had nothing to lose (notice that I was not aware of it requesting the installation of an app over HTTP etc.).

Resellers here (Bosnia & Herzegovina) are selling it for a slightly higher price (~19.5 USD, which I would accept because it does not require me waiting for the thing to be delivered across the world).

I'm in the same situation as you, never had a smart-thing in my life (unless you count Raspberry Pi and Google Cardboard, which I personally don't). I have never realized the appeal of a smart watch until a colleague of mine just clicked on its iWatch once, said something like "remind me that I have a meeting tonight at 8 PM with XX at YY", and had the event created for him on his iPhone. Seems way more convenient than actually getting my phone out of my pocket, unlocking it, finding the app, and inputing the event details.
You've asked multiple questions. I'd like to give you a separate reply for each.

I really really don't like talking about how our competitors might do things. (I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password). But I can talk about why we picked one security design over a plausible alternative. So here goes.

One way such a system could work is that the browser extension could talk to a process on the provider’s server. Because the server is remote, the TLS secret key would be stored on that remote server, and so would not be accessible to a root process running on the user’s system. This would, indeed, solve the IPC issue as there wouldn’t be any IPC.

There are a few reasons why we don’t operate that way. To operate that we we would end up knowing when and where our customers log into things. But we don’t want to be in a position to learn our customer’s shopping habits or whether they log into ISecretlyLoveNickelback.org. But with the client server model of that way of doing such things, we would be getting lots of that kind of information and holding on to some of it unencrypted.

Similarly, we don’t want to store any information that if stolen from us would enable such a thief to try to make cracking attempts at people’s Master Passwords. Sure PBKDF2 is good, but it only provides temporary protection should the data be stolen.
We also don’t want “big” secrets in the browser. Our browser extension never sees your Master Password and only ever has the password for site it is filling for (or learning from). We see the browser as a very hostile environment.

Now there are certain ways around some of those things. And again, I’m not making any claim about how any other product does things. I’m only discussing how a service with the properties you describe might work.

Different security designs expose different sorts of threats. Nobody can really defend against an attacker running as root on their own system, but our more obvious exposure to to running on a rooted machine in this particular scenario is something that we think is worth the security and privacy benefits of our design.

Tiqr predates it and does the same thing. However, U2F and UAF from FIDO alliance are the new protocols that are being standardized, and they're looking good too.

It is even designed to inherently resist tracking across services by using unique keypairs per service in a clever way. No device identifier is ever shared.
I'm actually quite surprised to read that Comcast's offering is symmetrical: 2Gps upstream and downstream. According to http://www.xfinity.com/multi-gig-offers: "Will this be a symmetrical 2 Gbps service? Yes it will be symmetrical: Up to 2 gig download and up to 2 gig upload speeds."
I think you've made a mistake in how you're marketing this. Who is your target customer? Someone who already uses a smorgasbord of tools? I suspect that they're going to find something to complain about every single feature of yours. "I like the way A does B. You should do that too otherwise I can't use it". You're setting yourself up for a huge support pain as well as possibly demoralizing complaints.

So what are your killer features?

0. All this stuff
1. E2E encryption
2. Cloud sync (presumably I could just store the DB on Dropbox)
3. Ad-hoc organization via hashtags

You're going to have to market yourself as a project management system like all the other project management systems.
You're confusing trolls with midgets! That's not funny.
Looking at the static picture is somewhat misleading. The lines of code you see in the current baseline snapshots are not all the lines that were ever written for that project.

A fairly large and extensive commit affecting many lines can have a small impact on the absolute number of lines (which can even shrink). We change as well as delete existing lines, not only add new ones.

The lines which are replaced by new lines should be regarded as deleted lines, and so the figure of how many lines there are now should be supplemented with how many lines were deleted since the beginning of the project: how many additional lines of code exist in the repo's history, which no longer appear in the current baseline.

The invisible lines that disappeared in the history are the underpinning for the current lines; they enabled the new lines to be figured out, which took work. Someone had to write each line, and it has to be counted in the LOC output.

It is not entirely clear cut. If you make a trivial change in some existing line, it's not the same thing as a brand new line. Yet, according to the line-based diff tools, it looks like a deletion and addition of an entire line. Minus this, plus that.

The government could've pursued the alternative: build out municipal broadband, and allow anyone to provide you service (competitively) at the CO/meetup room. But that's "socialism!"

The problem is not government. The problem is apathetic, uneducated, uninvolved knee jerk voters. And voters get what that deserve for being so.

> grossly expensive

I'm not one to defend Comcast, but $300/month for 2Gbps fiber is NOT "grossly expensive." It's the exact same product (minus SLA) they sell business customers for thousands. I'm paying $210 a month for gigabit-that-isn't from a WISP, and would jump at the chance to pay Comcast instead.

I do not know the name of the shop, but there is a traditional silk woodcut shop in Tokyo. It's in Akasuka or Akasuka (these are both locations, but it's the tourist shopping area one).

The sell furniture from small boxes to large drawers and chests, with silk patterns embroidered on them. Super light wood. If what they claim as traditional is true, it's definitely something only in Japan, and not for long at that.

If you go to the shop, all I ask is that you tell me the name of the shop so I can try to look them up again.

They understand English there, kind of, and take credit card as well.
