Love the idea.

But, please, if you do a demo video please include an alternative way to learn about your product. I recommend either a list of features and/or screenshots.

I can't always watch video:

1. Sometimes I don't have the time

2. Sometimes I don't have audio

2a. My headphones are packed away

2b. I'm using my cell phone in a public place

3. You have 30 seconds to sell me or at least get me to learn more. If your video is 2 minutes make sure you don't burry the lead. I have no idea if this is the case here because I couldn't watch the video (see: 2a) :(

I'm using "I" and "my" here but I'm sure I'm not alone. Same goes for the trend in news sites now to only have a video on their website and no summary.
Because said comments have a reach of millions, and said comment has a picture of yourself and a link to your personal profile.

Probably because Tesla has had tons of bad news already: the Model S has had many recalls and reliability issues and the X still hasn't hit its stride in terms of units shipped despite the large backlog. Yet the stock still goes up in periods of obvious trouble.
At a few places I've worked, I asked for average salary figures for the engineering team by function so that I could produce weekly reports that tallied up the cost of various projects based on the time people reported they'd actually spend.

What I found bizarre was that each time I've had to explain why I needed the numbers, and people were surprised at receiving a report of what the staff budget went. You'd think that would be expected, not something unusual. But permanent staff is not treated as a cost during day to day work, even though their time is a limited resource.

It's quite fascinating to see how quickly priorities change when the cost breakdowns make the rounds and someone higher up starts asking critical questions about why we spent $50k of staff time on feature X that no customer had asked for.
This comment is irrelevant to the topic at hand. Not only is this app (or any other torrent streaming app, including uTorrent and qBittorrent and PopcornTime) not have any DRM, you can use the fully downloaded file after you stream it. [1]

For non-torrent sources, streaming is not tied to DRM either. Most youtube videos are not flash based, but streamed MP4 files that aren't DRM'd in any way; you can get the MP4 file if you want. Service disruption is a problem, but there is always a trade off- and honestly, I'm more likely to lose a hard drive full of video files than Youtube is likely to disappear in the next 10 years.

There's the difference: you seem to be getting something out of the ads. For me it's 100% irrelevant. If I need something I will go look for it. If what I need is so special that it can't be found by an internet search, rest assured no-one would make an ad for it.

I am not sure why you use the term "cognitive dissonance" for referring to a situation where I consume without paying for something, and I don't feel entitled either. It feels very sonant to read clean websites.

If someone chooses to provide a resource it's their issue to figure out how to make it profitable. Trying to set up a fake moral pressure which requires me to listen to/watch mundane, uninspiring bullshit that I do not care about, that wouldn't make them any money from me anyhow, is kind of a strange way to go through life. If I went to your website for it's great content, why do you want to force me to look at something else instead? My brain resources are too valuable to be used to process to hear someone's lies about their products.

In essence you want me to pay for your things by quite literally wasting my time.

How did that become a thing, I wonder ...

I am confused by the entire premise of this piece. That agile is some sort of developer-empowering methodology of the people is entirely a new concept to me, and I have run multiple agile and waterfall projects.

Agile is a bottom-up strategy for project management, whereas waterfall is top-down. That's really about it. I'm glad you had a revelation that they are both project management methodologies and that the stakeholders remain the same, but I'm sorry to say I think everyone else already knew that...

There's a big difference between "currently known lithium reserves" and "worldwide lithium reserves". There's not much incentive to find additional reserves when you can essentially just pick it up off the ground in Bolivia, but if prices start to go up you can bet people will find other ways to get it.

If all else fails, you can extract an essentially limitless amount from seawater, but that would be much more difficult and expensive that current methods, so nobody's bothering to find out how to do it cheaply at scale (yet?).

In any case, elemental lithium is a very small part of the cost of a lithium-ion cell, so this shouldn't impact the EV market much. And you can already recycle the lithium from batteries, so once you have enough to support the world's transport needs, you're pretty much set.

Tax avoidance in the UK is a big problem. We can't pay for our infrastructure because of these guys avoiding tax.

But it's not just working people in the UK - working people all over the world are being denied services thanks to UK tax havens.

I'm the OP. For the record, people on my team do review PRs. And we typically do assign PRs to people in github. It's just that we don't have a very structured process beyond that, which leads to some mildly annoying ambiguity at times. I'd say the situation is basically what sethammons described in a sibling reply.

That said, I really appreciate your comment. It seems like a lot of other people have faced similar issues with CR, and I'm sure some people are facing a situation where teammates resist reviewing PRs. Also, game theory is a great lens through which to look at the situation. We probably could incentivise communication around CR better.
People question how we'll support content without ads, but I have to take a step back and wonder - is content that needs to be supported really that valuable? Might the world be a better place without it?

People who are passionate about the subject they are writing on are going to publish regardless of ad revenue, assuming they get hits (writing stuff nobody reads is a fast track to burnout). Right now, in many cases these people are being crowded out by well SEO'd content mills. If the advertising dollars dry up, the content mills will die off, and that ecological niche will be freed up to be filled by people with passion.

I for one welcome the idea of a return to a genuine internet, where everything isn't about monetization. The amount of content may go down, but the quality will almost certainly go way up, and there will be that much less garbage to wade through.

Toyota is the one that really baffles me. I can sorta understand car companies ignoring electric and just continuing to plod along with fossil fuels. I don't think it's wise, but it's what they know. But Toyota seems to be ignoring electric and instead focusing on hydrogen, which just makes no sense whatsoever. It's like they read a collection of EV myths (there's nowhere to charge, you can't take road trips, it's worse for the environment than a normal car) and decided to build a car that made them come true.
I'm under no such impression. Thanks for the image, though.

I'm really afraid of the not too distant future when drones are cheap and autonomous enough so that they are able to be controlled by a small crazy group and used to harm lots of people. I don't think we as a society are prepared for it.
I'm in a similar boat, I paid cash for a 2003 Mazda hatch with a manual. When I bought it I did the math, and figured that compared to the lease payment and insurance on a new Mazda I would break even in 10 months. I've been driving it for over two years. :-) Why would I want a new car? Then I'd just have to worry about scratching the paint, or even (heaven forbid) drive it nicely. Ug. However, I will say that a Model 3 is the one new car I might consider.
The i3 is a nice small car, but warranty of the battery is horrible

The battery on the i3 is warrantied for 8 years or 100,000 miles, with a drop below 70% of the original capacity considered to be a battery failure.

Tesla also have an 8-year battery warranty, with unlimited miles, but (afaik) they do not explicitly specify what level of capacity loss would be a warranty failure.

Considering most people are unlikely to exceed 100,000 miles in 8 years in a "city car" like the i3, is this really a horrible warranty?

First: The FSF just uses copyright as a means to an end. They would rather wish that their four freedoms were part of the law.

Second: I'm no advocate of the FSF way. For some reasons I think that the idea that one has to share the source code is dubious (among these reasons: what, for example, if I share the source code but obfuscate it; or if I change the source code so that it from now on is generated from some metacode: Do I have to share source code that is on the same level as the original one or do I have to share the metacode?). Instead in my opinion the community should develop much better methods of reverse engineering so that sharing the source code will not make much of a difference anymore. So in this sense the way to go is some kind of BSD-like license which also allows universal reverse engineering of built binaries. Such a license would also work if there were no/very weak copyright laws (since one can always do this, it just might be that the laws disallow it) in opposite the the GPL/AGPL.

In theory the person who leaked to the press could be prosecuted for leaking information. But press has the right to protect their sources, which prevents that from happening, so you get a balance between information and privacy. That wouldn't be the case if it was leaked to the general public. You'd also leak passports, SSN etc. to the general public.
In conclusion the stock market is up because there's lots of easy money and companies are buying back stock.
Fair enough. There was a decent amount of social back and forth at that company also, and we went to lunches a couple times a week, so I had a pretty good feeling for their abilities.

We mostly stayed on top of things and never really had a crisis moment, though, because we had a boss that would talk to the client and "manage his expectations" since he made so many ridiculous claims and demands anyway (inventing features he never discussed with us and wondering why it wasn't in the builds yet, asking for things that were pretty much impossible and thinking it could be done in a couple of weeks, changing the entire direction of the project based on an article he read the night before, etc.)
No. You are basically saying that people should work for free if they are passionate about it. Professional writers cannot pay their bills with passion. Same with artists, musicians etc, and every other underpaid profession. Just because they (hopefully) like what they do, does not mean it is not work or does not have value.

This is something I often thought about, for the purposes of tree pruning. What if you could point a laser-like LED beam to the location you want cut on a 55ft-high pine tree, and have the drone-chainsaw cut that exact location? That would beat using cranes or bucket lifts to hoist a person with their chainsaw way up in the air.

(Of course the ground would still have to be cleared of people, as a branch would be falling down and in case the chainsaw/drone combo malfunctions.)
San Francisco has a really big push to improving its civic tech. They actually have a CIO for the city itself. They're working on fast wifi available in all public areas, technology to connect people through mesh networks, and tech solutions to basic human problems.

Are you an employee or investor? If you're receiving equity then you're an investor (even if your only investment is theoretically lost wages). If you are only receiving wages (and or bonuses/benefits) then you're just an employee.

As an investor you need to come at it like an investor: Is this business a good investment of those lost wages? Are they growing? Does the business model make sense?

As an employee: You'll never be rewarded for your "loyalty." They won't make it up to you later. If you are being chronically underpaid you should consider finding another job. A lot of startups churn through tons of inexpensive employees, and few if any are later rewarded.

I suspect this will end up fizzling out and not resulting in very much.

From the Guardian articles it's becoming clearer that Mossack Fonseca is not some sort of mafioso outfit. Even the Guardian's own coverage has to admit that they do have compliance staff, do perform due diligence and do report things to the authorities. And they did close down operations when they got wind of illegal doings. So any stories have to become arguments about specific cases and debates about whether they could have done more in those cases, rather than the more juicy story they clearly want, implying that MF is some sort of criminal nexus that is being taken down by the journalistic establishment.

If we look at the Swiss banking leak from a few years ago, there were thousands of account details leaked to the UK government which assigned hundreds of tax officers to investigate them. And it turned out that about two thirds of them had paid exactly the right amount of tax all along. Of the rest, actually proving criminal intent turned out to be impossible, so of the original 1000+ account holders, only one case was ever actually taken to court. The others were cleared up through fines. The resulting amount of revenue was trivial at only £135 million, probably the costs of the investigation itself consumed most of that. This wasn't UK specific, other countries also ended up finding the data was useless for prosecutions.

The same was true of another case, when the Swiss authorities agreed to start sending tax information to the UK. The government thought it was in for a windfall and wrote the expected amounts into the budget. Red faces followed when the actual amount of unpaid tax turned out to be much lower than hoped for.

Maybe the Iceland angle will result in a few heads rolling, who knows, but I'm willing to bet that most of these revelations end up having very little impact: the worst cases are all in places where the local law enforcement is too weak to prosecute presidents and other heads of state for corruption.

"he is the taxman and the hangman. He doesn't have to hide anything."

I bet that the last Tsar followed the same logic..
Anyone know how this tax sheltering works? The article mentioned "One leaked memorandum from a partner of Mossack Fonseca said: 'Ninety-five per cent of our work coincidentally consists in selling vehicles to avoid taxes.'" That would lead me to believe the "vehicle" for transferring wealth offshore might be selling vehicles - like selling yachts? Just a guess though.
This is not true. You are ignoring the most important factor of all, which is whether the company's share price is above or below its "intrinsic value". Of course, intrinsic value is a fundamentally fuzzy concept, but in some cases the share price is obviously out of line relative to historical measures of valuation (price to tangible book value, TEV/EBITDA, price to sales ratio, etc.). If there is no good fundamental reason for the lowered valuation (loss of patent protection, entrance of new competition, secular changes in technology, etc.), then it could create value for remaining shareholders if the number of shares is reduced and that capital is replaced with debt (or simply spending excess cash on the balance sheet). If the share price is above a conservative estimate of intrinsic value, then a company can easily destroy shareholder value by buying back shares. In that case, they might be better off issuing more shares or doing an acquisition for stock to take advantage of their overvalued currency. This sort of capital management is one of the most important ways a management team and board of directors can create value over time. For a good historical example, look at the case of Teledyne ( http://www.capitalideasonline.com/articles/index.php?id=2725 )
