Those a mucky definitions. Roads are excludable in just the same way as trains... you don't have a car, you can't get on roads. That's economic exclusion, and a bigger excluder than transit fares in most urban settings (not to mention requiring a license, no DUIs, etc).

A good transit system has very low fares, as they try to include everyone even the poorest people. A good transit system also has very rarely full trains, and more coming along in 5min if that one's full.

If you're arguing that roads are a public good, then you absolutely must accept that transit is one... and any rational person would agree that they are a far greater good than roads and highways (at least, within the urban centers).

> Worms like Moldbug have a 100% historical record of mutating into terribly destructive individuals when given even the slightest leeway.

You're thinking of all the ones that you know the outcome of, like Hitler. But there are many, many idiots like Moldbug that simply do not succeed in doing anything. Many Hitlers go back to painting after failing at politics, some even after some initial promise.

Statistically, ignoring Moldbug will work. And actually banning him is counterproductive: I only heard about him through these bans, and it led me to read a bunch of his work out of curiosity. I wasn't convinced (I'm not exactly his target audience anyhow for demographic reasons), but others might be.

> not all opinions are equal.

The point is we don't know which are equal. 30 years ago, most people thought the ethical thing was to ban gay people. And 30 years from now, things you and I do now will look bad to people.

Given we might be wrong, just like all past and future generations, it's a good idea to be tolerant.

Of course, we shouldn't tolerate all behavior - if someone sexually harasses someone, we should ban them and report them to the police. But for just having a certain belief, or other personal attribute that is not part of a programming language conference, we should not ban people.

I've spoken to my bank. No clear answer from them. From my research online there is a service called barclays.net but the fees are high and they provide an outdated software platform with a usb pin-entry system. And none was clear enough to explain if it meets my requirements, on customer support.

Regarding Mongo, i've read somewhere that they don't provide business accounts yet. I've signed up for a personal account and i'm in a queue so far. Also their api has not endpoint for sending payments from what i've seen.

The closest thing i could find to meet my requirements is their private api they use under their mobile banking app, but is heavily secured, and there no chance they will ever give access to that, or allow me to use it.

And yes i expect heavy usage.

> who re-invented the wheel and there is already something better out there?

In business school, you are taught how to create business plans, and in that business plan, you have a section that talks about your competition. If you don't know if there is something better or if something like this exists, you are either not looking hard enough or you have stumbled upon something great.

If it is the former, do more research and I guess asking here isn't a bad start, but really, you should be posting in some Cassandra specific newsgroup, if such a thing exists. Or some NoSQL site.

If it is the latter then, hooray and too bad at the same time. Another thing you are taught in business school, is the innovators, are usually not the ones that benefits from their innovation. It's usually those that iterates on the innovative ideas, that benefits. How good of a solution you have, will dictate your market entry strategy.

I guess my answer to your question is, it depends, but I would have to imagine, simple benchmarks would go a long way to further validate your solution.

That's why what?

> You may say that we must spend some more resources to fight cancer but if you say we must curtail on mass surveillance and other anti-terrorism measures to do cancer fight then I don't agree.

But why not? If spending a dollar fighting cancer saves more lives than spending the same dollar fighting terrorism and we don't have unlimited resources then why should we make the choice that causes more loss of life?

> Privacy is important but NOT as important as survival itself.

Privacy is security. The information they're collecting is inherently dangerous. It's much easier to use it to plan an attack than to defend from one. If you're looking for a needle in a haystack, more data is more hay. But if you're trying to burn everything down then it tells you who is vulnerable where and when. The only way to prevent terrorists from breaking in and accessing the data is to not collect it to begin with.

And terrorists aren't even the main threat. Surveillance of innocent people makes them vulnerable to anyone who has the data. Cartel hitmen, sexual predators, Richard Nixon, take your pick.

Congrats to the Gravitational team on teleport! LDAP/RADIUS/etc are often useful only for internal employee access. Teleport brings (among other things) a new level of flexibility for secure remote management (say, by a vendor perhaps), so I don't see it as a replacement for the traditional auth protocols.

In terms of making LDAP/RADIUS easier, well, we're a YC company that does just that! Foxpass (S15) https://www.foxpass.com/.

Google has lost its edge, I don't know any startups that are being built today that are worried about being put out of business by them. While they have been working on a bunch of products that have gotten a lot of PR in the last 3 years nothing they have built has stuck. Google+ and Glass were failures, their foray into hardware and robotics has been a mixed bag, and their core services have been stagnating. If I were to make a bold prediction, I don't think they will ever release another great product internally.
Is this a first when consumer product company releases CAD geometry for their parts?

This is super close to the product that I really really really want. The only thing that's missing for me, is that this requires a checking or savings account. When I purchase something with my credit card (most things), it's because I want the rewards program points. With this, I don't get that. If I can't pay with my credit card, then I'm losing money (~$300/yr).

I really want a product that let's me proxy my credit card (and change it when I get a new card). I want a firewall for my credit card.

On the one hand: I do believe that if a game is basically a movie (a cinematic game), then a let's play of it can kill interest in playing (basically just seeing) it.

On the other, I have this feeling that let's plays are starting to assert themselves as a strong market force. I've already seen games specifically made to target let's players as a way to reach their fans. Let's plays may just simply be a new reality of the market.

Even if you assume policy ends up entirely in favor of cinematic games, without the ability to take advantage of the "let's play pulpit" then cinematic games are going to find themselves very disadvantaged.

I think we're starting to see the effects of this, games that try to sell themselves on their narrative, which simply end up taking the player through a series of corridors and cutscenes, are losing. Games that sell themselves on their gameplay and build narratives around the player are winning.

Not very nice to That Dragon, Cancer. I know. Sorry guys!
Man Arrested 14 Years Later for Not Returning VHS Rental 'Freddie Got Fingered'
It seems like business schools just don't teach how companies that are that big should be run. They teach all this stuff about externalizing costs and internalizing benefits, but when your company owns the entire market (or even half of it), you don't have to worry that much about how to internalize benefits and prevent free riding because you're going to get the bulk of the benefit from anything good that happens regardless.

So you see these hundred billion dollar companies still doing highly inefficient things to internalize benefits as if they have a hundred competitors because that's what people have been taught, when they should be looking to the classic AT&T monopoly's example with Bell Labs.

You have the cash for a hundred moonshots and you're cutting things that could be the future of the company? Why?

48 Management Tips to Enhance Teams Performance
HipChat: An update on this week
I wish this was "country-agnostic"

I am from Brazil, and the government sometimes censor online stores, or is just an ass...

Also many stores have some sort of licensing agreement that exclusive Brazil, sometimes with no other way to get some stuff, for example there is a series of books that I can't legally obtain copies of them after Barnes e Noble closed Fictionwise, anyone on my country wanting one of those books must pirate it (they are digital only, and the stores that sell them are mostly US-only, and a bunch even check your IP or insert DRM that checks your IP).

If this payment service could hid someone country, I am very sure that in some countries piracy would drop a bit.
linux support?
That's always how it works.

They make a service that matches the others in features. That's embrace.

Then they gave a large amount of storage (relative to the other free offerings) to convince people to come over to their service instead of the others. That's extend.

Then once they've weathered the cost of providing so much free storage better than the others and/or gotten a bunch of entrenched customers, they severely reduce the amount of free storage with no warning or grandfathering. That's extinguish.

If you switched over to them from someone else for the extra amount of storage for the free tier, you're fucked. You need to download and store elsewhere (up to) 10 GB, and do it fast before they charge you.
What? You didn't "merely consent" to anything; you agreed to their terms and conditions, which state cancellation criteria. There's no "one could argue" here. Commercial law is well-established. Of course they have recourse: taking you to collections.

Have you... have you ever not paid a bill before? I'm very confused how one could think this.

Heh, not exactly. We have a finite amount of hours in the day, and maintaining a JSX implementation is something we just aren't really interested in. You're more than welcome to implement such a thing yourself though, and I'd be the first to retweet it if you did.
As others pointed out with the % splitting, I'm not sure that I agree.

A credit card company could collect spending information and resell it for all cardholders, not just those holding cards having good rewards.

Perhaps this is naive and instead more valuable customers (based on spending more money annually or having a higher credit score to qualify for the card in the first place) have their information sold more, but privacy and reward programs seem like orthogonal aspects of the business to me.

That might be true. However, suburban living comes at a cost that is highly subsidized. The cost of infrastructure per person in the suburbs is much higher than in a dense city. There is just so much more roads and pipes and cables per person. However, the cost gets carried by everyone evenly. If that cost had to be paid by the people in the suburbs (like me) than living there would all the sudden be quite a bit less attractive. This was covered in a great episode of Econtalk: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/05/charles_marohn.html
As well as denser cities. In LA, it's daily. Each small patch of grass between sidewalk and street cut or weedwhacked and the blower comes out even if a broom would be quieter and only slightly less efficient.
You obviously haven't tried to paginate quickly browsing through thousands of photos.
Living in the suburbs is also highly subsidized since the suburbs have enormous infrastructure costs that are hidden. See http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/05/charles_marohn.html

This kind of rhetoric makes people who aren't depressed feel better, but it's kind of anathema to a depressed person if you tell them essentially that:

1. Their feelings aren't valid, not even a little bit. In other words if they have an objection to what you're telling them they know darn well there's no point in voicing it.

2. You come off as out of touch with reality. Sometimes the world is shitty, and sometimes the world is shitty in ways that make us feel shitty. And yes, sometimes the world is shitty in ways that make people who are predisposed to feeling like shit for no good reason feel even worse.

If you feel like everything is worthless and you have nothing to lose, somebody telling you that everything is happy rainbows is quite the opposite of helping. They're not meeting you where you are so much as coming at you from a place so foreign and distant it seems like they're on drugs. A lot of suicide prevention is deciding not to kill yourself today so you'll live to see tomorrow.
Who Are the Java EE Guardians and Why Should You Care?
Sparkjava is an amazing Java web framework. Do you really need it?
You definitely have a valid point.

The framework I'm operating from includes the time-value component of the fund. If a fund has a target rate of return of 10% per annum, each additional year they wait for a liquidity event requires an additional 11% (1 / 0.9) in returns in order to hit their target.

So a valuation drop of 20% is comparable to ~2 years delay in liquidity. My strong suspicion is that the price volatility is small relative to the time volatility in these startups. There's a lot more knowledge around addressing the pricing volatility issues than the liquidity issues (an unexpected liquidity issue in the short-term markets is what caused both Bear Sterns and Lehman Bros to fail). In the end I believe that delayed liquidity events, in the market we are entering, are going to be strongly correlated with reduced IPO value.

To directly answer you question : the challenges of hedging for the time horizon of liquidity events will also include price volatility issues as well. So essentially if you're worrying about liquidity you still have to worry about price, where in saner times there are vehicles where you only have to worry about price. More hedges means more carry cost and less-profits. So what I meant by the "untenable" is that I don't expect the cost-value to be there in those circumstances.

Definitely possible that I'm wrong here, I just think the odds are against anyone dealing with those types of problems.
