I think that there is just a huge market for risky but non-crooked investments.

Overseas markets are excellent for making money. Less regulation, lower salaries, etc. But the downside to a less overbearing government is that it's fairly easy for people with government connections to run off with your investment money if you're not watching.

Western nations are just safer places to passively invest money.

I agree that it may take time for some people to become acclimated to not shopping for things in person. Since this issue seems to revolve around picking produce, we hope that those people will find a myriad of other craft goods(drinks, snacks, cheeses) from Natch until they become more comfortable with the experience. However the growth in companies like Instacart and Amazon fresh, show that the willingness to shop online for food is increasing, and I think this trend will continue as the prices, technology, and options improve.

In regards to finding out about Natch, we plan to start city by city and reach out individually to the farmers and independent brands in the area to help them sell on Natch. In these areas we would have to target the shoppers that traditionally support establishments like farmer's markets and demonstrate that Natch provides them with an easier and better way to shop locally.

Thanks for the questions :)

Although I believe that you are right, you are jumping here from "this particular mercenaries are criminals" to "the use of mercenaries is treason and should never be allowed", an that is a big jump.

In my opinion, if there are adequate mechanisms for the control of mercenaries (such as not allowing them to have more power than the public army, or the restriction to / of particular capabilities), having mercenaries in particular situations (such as people with a high degree of specialization) could be feasible.

The problem here is that they were given ample independent power with adequate supervision, again imho.

They know you use an ad-blocker and that you want to block ads, they don't know why, but they'll make an assumption. It is a fair guess that you use an ad-blocker because you don't want to see any ads; whether that is for privacy reasons, bandwidth, or because you dislike ads is not really relevant to them. In fact, most people who block ads probably do so for a combination of those reasons, and I am willing to bet that most users of ad-blockers simply don't want to see ads on every page they visit. So their assumption is not that unreasonable.

If you want websites to know exactly why you use an ad-blocker, just mail them and tell them. The answer you'll receive (if any) will probably tell you that they depend on ad income to provide a free service, that they need ad delivery networks to act as brokers for their advertising space (and thus can't host their own ads), and that you are welcome to purchase a premium subscription if you want to use their service without ads.

> ... after administration of 15 micrograms of LSD per kilogram of body weight.

That's a huge amount. 15ug/kg would equate to 1200 ug for a 80kg human, which is a lot.

That goat was tripping balls, no wonder it was painting the infinity symbol (8) with its movement patterns :).

Also, the 7000 pound elephant who died, was injected with 297mg of LSD, which would amount to 297,000ug/3175,15kg = 93.5ug / kg, which is insane.

Did those "scientists" even know what they were testing ?

But anyway, interesting results. I'm curious if they tried dosing an animal and a human at the same time to see how human-animal interaction and communication is affected.
That's why it should only raise a flag rather than totally stop. Perhaps the customer service rep can ask a few more questions.

It's a similar situation to someone who only ever uses their credit card to buy small amounts from their local supermarket. Then suddenly they use it to buy a flight in another country. It might be legit, but it's often not, and should suggest that customer service need to do more investigation before approving.

This is one of those things that only the GooglePlex bubble can come up with.

As a busy person (my wife and I both work, we have a child, and hard time constraints due to teaching obligations, etc.), free time is exactly what I want to schedule as little as possible. I want to spontaneously decide to do a hike with my family, or when my daughter wants to play, I want to be there. There's enough obligations already, free time should be spontaneous and available to family.

It is also a bit annoying that they focus on these features without solving real problems first. Someone already mentioned search, which is (ironically) indeed quite bad. Also, appointment suggestions based on e-mails has very low recall. I especially noticed this since I switched back to Mail.app, which picks up a lot more dates in e-mails.

The Iraq war was a turning point in this area, actually. Stretched between two active conflicts far from each other, and having re-structured the US military as a smaller army of highly-specialised troops, there were not enough boots on the ground to maintain security across the whole country. Enter unregulated mercenary armies.

Sure enough, the US is re-learning why mercenary armies have always been a bad idea throughout history.

[...] they now have complete unmonitored autonomy in how they use it [...] It really seems like the law doesn't know what to do about that category of things, generally.

You can use a hammer to construct something, or to bash someone's skull. That's human nature, and freedom. To not have that choice would mean we have lost a lot more than we'd have gained.

This moral ambivalence makes it (luckily) nearly impossible for any form of authority to make a definite statement or prevent usage. It ensures freedom.

And sometimes bashing someone's skull might be the "positive" action, and using a hammer to construct a building the "negative" result, as when the building is used predominantly to harm people. One could use hacking tools to get around totalitarian governments or locked-down operating systems, or even to get into a former lover's device but at the same time prevent that exploit to be used anywhere else because of the bug's exposure. Even the "criminal" might be the good guy in the long run – morality is highly complex.

IT security really ends up most often in ambivalent, shades of grey territory, and not in the clear black/white contrast preferred by many people and especially law- and policy-makers.

I really don't see why you draw a distinction. War crimes are war crimes, and should be punished regardless of the perpetrators.
This looks like a good frontend to tc. Looks like it's bundled with this other firewall product though, which is a shame as I am very happy with firewalld on CentOS.

The advantages would be that they will have the ability to sell to more people that traditionally do not have access to their goods. Currently it's difficult to shop locally or from independent brands because farmer's markets aren't frequent or nearby for many, and doing consistent shopping from many independent brands on multiple online stores is inconvenient.

The other main advantage I think Natch provides is that it will be an open marketplace where anybody can sell. If you are a startup food brand or grower, there is no common place to market and sell your products to the people around you. Natch will give these independent sellers the ability to sell directly to the consumers and develop their market without needing to get into stores.

So good to see people doing what they like and making a living of it. Gives hope for the rest of us. :)
It's almost as if none of this wealth is "trickling down."

One day there's a deep crisis and China is collapsing and oil will never come back and the honeymoon is over and a week later things are back to normal, growth is good and.. what the heck ?

Of course everything is in a bubble, but doesn't that mean that there's no point in mentioning it, because it's part of normality ?
I agree with most people that calling to reset password should be a service that can be entirely disabled, or at least require 2FA.
But think about this. All of this could have been avoided if they had the simple policy of calling you back. The only thing you would have to do as a user, would be to keep your number up-to-date.

Of course this also requires that you should never be able to add a number using the phone though, but this makes sense, since they can just say: "To do that you just have to sign in and click on..."
Sorry, but selling to corrupt governments for personal profit makes you black, not grey, hat.
New marketplace OpenBazaar isn't like Silk Road
Good point. I was originally going to say 'the SF tech bubble', but I do not want to offend too many people ;).

I still think the point stands, between missing features, adding questionable features, and failed April 1 jokes, I sometimes wonder how much 'market research' there is.
While i do agree that they could exist, is that its really hard to control. Who polices the police? Of course this happens in the government controlled armies as well. However, in small private firms, at least to me it feels like it would be a lot harder to report something, or to refuse something.

So if there is a need for these forces, they need to be a lot more open about their operations with the government. With more oversight then even the regular troops and accountability up to CEO level of the company for actions performed by their armies.

He keeps using the word "better", but then the prime example he cites is "Roon" vis-a-vis iTunes. Go to their site[1], and check the comparison of their superior user experience (...) with a "meh" counter-example.

And you know what? I actually like the "meh" a lot better. iTunes used to look that way in the beginning, before they went all color-crazy and web-like.

There are certain properties of software where you can clearly label a competitor or new version better: Fewer bugs, faster operation, no superfluous user interaction. But beyond that, we quickly enter the areas of taste, not quality. And, y'know, de gustibus...

> Even if you do need to raise money, why is it a necessity to run your company out of the same city that your investors are in?

It's almost never necessary but try telling an investor that. The amount of investors that said no to the start-up I'm currently working at, simply because it was on the East coast (that was literally the only reason given), was simply astonishing. In a world where you can be anywhere in essentially, physically, in less than a day (typically hours domestically) or instantly digitally technology investors would stick their noses up due to physical location.

I love SF but it just didn't make sense at the time and it's still insanely expensive there!

I would like to see you turn a bike with front-wheel chainstays. Straight-only driving, turns are obsolete! :D

Also, the front wheel is connected to the frame in a very different way than the back wheel: single strong tube, only diverging further on; and there is no requirement for the front wheel to be powered - therefore the front wheel can (and does) move WRT the frame, something the back wheel must not do. Yes, they're both wheels, but that's where the similarity ends; the rest of the requirements are very different.
A somewhat similar question: what do you do with frontend assets? If you have JS/CSS/image files with a cache-busting URL, and you have different versions on different servers, you can run into problems.

For example, if most of your web servers are running version 1 and you're in the middle of rolling out version 2. A page request goes to one of the web servers with version 2, which returns HTML containing links to assets with the version 2 cache-busting URLs. The browser requests those assets, perhaps through the CDN, but the load balancer sends the requests to a web server still running version 1, where the assets don't exist yet. This means the browser will get a 404 error.

What are the best options for dealing with this problem?

The thing about Axiom of Choice is that combining it with ZF set theory essentially describe a world with magic [1] allowing to turn any object into another one of arbitrary size just by splitting the object into finite number of parts and reassembling them.

So if one belive in magic, then one should consider ZF+AC as a realistic model of our world.

It depends on the employer. Some large companies may have policies about degrees. Smaller co's may not care. The key is having the necessary skills and experience, which may take years to accumulate. Lacking a degree doesn't mean lacking education. You mention freelance work, so maybe you do have the skills.

Your biggest issue might be getting a proper work visa, which, by the way, even immigrating post-grads struggle with, so good luck to you if this is a factor...

I don't think his argument finds problems with the fact that some software is free. Having a large user base means you have the ability and the responsibility to make an impact an a very large number of people. He speaks to both the user and developer that mediocre de facto applications with large user bases should not lead to complacency nor its acceptance.

I think the US is under a double whammy. Republicans call for trickle down economics but at the same time they have opened the bottom up to unregulated and slave labour. So the money doesn't trickle down. It just flies to the lowest rung of the ladder skipping the middle where the US middle and lower middle class lives and goes abroad.
Though Vaultedge is hosted on cloud, it can support offline data sitting in laptops or usb drives. When connecting a offline device to Vaultedge, Vaultedge will ask user to install a client program. This client program will help in categorization and creation of search index of the offline data. Once categorized and indexed, periodically the client program will redo the operations when there are changes to the data. When user clicks on such a offline file, Vaultedge has the ability to pull the file from the offline storage if the device is connected. Users also have the option of keeping a copy of such offline data within Vaultedge cloud for faster access. Thanks for the question. Please let me know if you have further questions.
