It's simple to have a policy of not using unapproved hardware.

What's difficult is to build an organisation with a purchasing and new hardware approval process that's quick and efficient enough that people choose to follow it.

I've worked at places where the official policy said "no unapproved USB sticks" but getting approval was so difficult most of the engineering workforce installed Linux using unofficial USB sticks. As firing the most of the workforce for knowingly breaking policy would have been cutting off their nose to spite their face, the policy went unenforced.

What's the actual long-term impact on the child?
So similarly, potential investors should screen all men to make sure they and their partner aren't expecting children anytime soon? This would maybe be a defensible* position if it were applied equally, but it's not.

*But actually it's not really. In today's world, with varying family types and options for care, it is possible for people to have children and give their all to a company. For many (most?) people that isn't the best option, but it is possible.
I don't think this position qualify as pro-Snowden. The trial facing by Snowden is for "treason", which is by definition false because no third party government was involved.

They are just being taken advantage of by trying to hang out and fit in with a heavily antagonistic culture that is very racist against Asians. The amount violence the US inflicted on those Asians is enormous and unequal.

And, I didn't even mention that the JNippons and Koreanas are genetic cousins to the native Americans, many of which were wiped out by the US.

The long-term trend is just apparent in where the US and Russians are taking the direction of those Asians.
We disagree in opinion. I'm advocating for what I feel to be important in security and privacy and you are advocating for ease of use and features. It's not stupid, just we have different priorities.
Not to mention that one has to wonder what the point of all this is if we're going to deny people one of the most basic aspects of the human experience. I'm all for family planning, smaller families for the sake of the planet, etc. but c'mon, are we going to tell ambitious people they can pretty much _never_ have kids? Aren't these the sort of folks we should be hoping _do_ make copies of themselves?

This is a serious question as a woman who has never been pregnant and perhaps not that knowledgable about pregnancies. Doesn't giving birth render you incapacitated for a certain period of time even if everything goes well and there's no guarantee after giving birth things will return to normal. Even in cases where one's life isn't at risk, there's a high risk of postpartum depression, etc. It seems very unfair to me that women have to deal with such things. I hope one day women won't need to have periods without taking any additional health risks and also that it will be easier for women to have surrogate baby carriers.

Another serious question is wouldn't a nursery at work be disruptive if there is a lot of crying, etc. or how will it be set up so as not to bother people who are working.

> I don't want Yarvin at FP conferences, and I suspect none of the attendees particularly do either.

I'd imagine there's a solid overlap between Hacker News posters and people who might attend a functional programming conference, and judging by this comments section your position is in a distinct minority. So if it's OK to ostracize people based on their unpopular political opinions, you may find yourself in the hot seat you've been preparing for Yarvin.

How about this: perhaps we should instead strive for a system of pluralism and tolerance where we don't bring our political disputes into the professional sphere.
The colors of visible light form a continuous spectrum. "Red" vs. "blue" is a meaningless criterion devoid of all content which invites arbitrary judgement.
In my experience, people tend to seriously underestimate the amount of work a baby takes, and the strain it adds to relationships, work life, and emotional health. I certainly did.

I think it's reasonable for investors to wonder if a person's commitment won't change when they have a baby. I would advise the authors that they really can't forsee what their priorities will be like when the baby comes. It sounds trite, but a baby changes your whole life. It will add an incredible amount of stress that will probably make you reevaluate your priorities.

If I were an investor, I would hold off until they had the baby, and it was at least a few months old. Then both the founders could really know how committed they still were to the company.

Where did you get $50K from? I would guess that's a huge factor above what they exactly make. I'd estimate somewhere a few thousand (and maybe even less than $1000 some months) to $10K at most. If they're making $50K/month, they must be very very good marketers, or they're doing something very shady.

Is it common and expected to give literally all of your time to the boss, with no time left for friends or family? If so, what are they working for?

This whole scenario seems really terrifying! After reading that article I seriously physically felt like I just read a really good existential horror story. My skin is still crawling!
Inhibiting development by providing imports at prices that are difficult to match by local offerings, that's about as colonialistic as it can get. In the case of pirated entertainment on donated bandwidth, the effective price of those imports is zero.

But this is surely not what the article meant by "digital colonialism", so your question remains unanswered.
A relicense is a relicense. When you impose new rules on a product, especially if you weren't the original author, is rude.

I'm a GPL zealot, to the point that I've used the GPL as a weapon and as a shield against others in multiple capacities ("You own all my code when you employ me? Sure, as long as I get to dictate the license"). However, I would never take someone's 2 or 3-clause BSD-licensed product, and relicense. Those of us that value sofware freedom value the rights of other licenses that believe the same.

We all see why it was done in this case, however; In order to ensure software freedom in the cloud (someone else's computer), there isn't another license to use. the BSD license completely breaks down in this use scenario, and the best we have is AGPL.

I'd say cloud usage is to 3-clause BSD what Tivo was to GPLv2.

Understanding the Mobile App Development Process
As someone who has personally been pregnant (several times!) let me assure you that when you see a pregnant woman, you have no idea whatsoever whether she is feeling

- well

- ill

- overwhelmed

- confident

- anything else

because every pregnancy is different, and every woman is different, and every family is different. You cannot safely assume anything about a pregnant woman. So her pregnancy can't help you reliably judge whether she can handle being CEO.

For that matter, you can't safely assume a woman is pregnant even if it seems obvious. I knew a woman with an abdominal tumor who kept getting asked when the baby was due.
I definitely was taught quite a bit about mitochondria in grade 10 (Canadian) high school biology, in the early 90s. We were even told about at-the-time-speculative-now-accepted theories that mitochondria were the result of a primitive "capture" of a prokaryotic cell by the first early proto-eukaryotes.
Yeah, I've been there too. At the company I worked for a few years ago I tried to get everyone using PGP. One or two actually did. The problem is that while it's usually possible to set it up on a mobile device, it's not trivial, and you lose some important features. For example I very often need to search for an old email on my phone. If that email came in encrypted, then I'm not going to be able to find it if it's not stored on the phone. (Right? Was I just doing something wrong?)

The comment was in response to your last question "am I being colonialist?", and my response was intended to point out that the problem isn't really "here's some free stuff", but "here's some stuff that doesn't cost anything (and may well be donated by people who mean well), that comes with other strings attached"

It isn't really classic colonialism of course (we're not talking about enslaving a nation and stealing their goods). But if the basic income internet were not in fact provided by $Government, but instead by $corporation or $otherGovernment, and carried with it strings - "abide by $otherGovernment's laws while using the internet here in this country", then you could argue that's a colonialist approach. It's especially problematic when governments are subverted to transmit corporatist legal frameworks.

In your example in the most basic sense, it's not colonialist - it's just good sense, a government providing a basic level of access to the internet to all.

On the other hand to all of this, I feel like sometimes we're missing the mountain while staring at molehills. Yes, facebook's free basics seem like a naked grab for users and an attempt to stifle homegrown innovation in countries that don't have a lot of network infrastructure. On the other hand, we're still very much dealing with actual colonialism in our global economy. The fact that it's cheaper to ship cotton to Bangladesh to make t-shirts that in turn get shipped back to the US for me to wear (than, say, making the shirt in the US where the cotton is grown) says a lot about the influence of north/western economies on the rest of the world. We (meaning northern and western nations for the most part) still extract tremendous value from the countries we used to explicitly call "colonies". This is probably a much bigger problem (both ethically and in terms of long-term sustainability of our markets)

This article talks about a research project studying the virality of propaganda in social media. The article paints a political picture, the only paper cited by the article (one of at least 30 published by the project) discovered that a viral social media attack/campaign against a democratic senator was the result of about 10 twitter bots. The article then cites the republican congressman who launched the investigation into this study.

No mention of the FBI, and the NSF provided funding but the project has made statements to the effect that the NSF is not involved, as listed in the article.

This title is very misleading...

from the article:
'
“Truth about Truthy.” In a series of bullet points, the department said the project is not a "political watchdog, a government probe of social media, an attempt to suppress free speech, a way to define 'misinformation,' a partisan political effort, [or] a database tracking hate speech."

"There is a good dose of irony in a research project that studies the diffusion of misinformation becoming the target of such a powerful disinformation machine," the research department wrote.

Except it isn't. By this standard, book publishers would have to go pound sand if libraries started giving away infinitely many copies of their book.

It depends on the pregnancy and on the birth. Some women jump right up and get back into the swing of things. Most of us need recovery time. There is no safe assumption.

Speaking of assumptions, there is no reason to assume a CEO mother would have a nursery at work. She might well have a stay-at-home spouse (I do) or a parent or nanny or any number of things.

Well, there are several conditions that would fall under issues with planning: including ADHD and garden variety mental retardation (which are often co-morbid with ODD). What separates ODD from those other conditions is it presents with a lot of hostility and aggression. So a proper name would be more like "Executive Planning Disorder with Aggression."

However, I think that over-diagnosis of ODD is somewhat less of an issue than ADHD or depression. Unlike those conditions, the treatment regiment for ODD is behavioral therapy and anger management training, as opposed to medication.
