White boxes with black letters? Used to great effect in the movie "Repo Man".
"Bankers" is obviously a broad term, but I'd point out that just about everyone employed in the financial industry in a role where they are giving advice or soliciting/executing transactions have very strict licensing and continuing education requirements. Just look at the list of FINRA licensing exams: http://www.finra.org/industry/qualification-exams

(Of course, even licensed persons may choose to make poor choices. That said, I've taken a few of those exams, and they are no joke.)
No thanks. I shouldn't have to sign an NDA just to see the source code of something running on hardware I own...

That's also why I run gnu/linux and only use windows when forced to (for work or gamedev).
You could probably get a prosthetic and/or active device of some sort that would eventually teach you a consistent new way of walking.

People also claim to have learned new ways of walking through posture exercise like Alexander Technique or Irene Dowd's work, although I don't know if those are big enough changes to be visibly different.

Regardless, Roundup is not safe.

Glyphosate probably is safe, by itself.

After college I did landscaping. Once I cleared brush that had been treated with Roundup, and broke into an itchy rash from head to toe. After that experience, I quite landscaping forever.

The biggest lie is that Roundup IS glyphosate. This false. Roundup is a chemical slurry of byproducts that happens to contain some glyphosate. Otherwise it would not be so cheap.

But many of us learned electricity with the understanding that doing it wrong can kill us either during the fix or some later time during the usage. With that in mind we tend to respect it and do the right thing. I can't tell you how much of what was done on my house by "licensed" electricians and plumbers is absolute crap. I take pride in what I do and if I'm going to take a short cut I make sure it's not a dangerous one.

You are making a psychological argument not a moral one. Actual evidence suggests things like violent video games actually reduce violent crime in society. So, your going to need actually evidence to support that line of thinking and I don't think it exists.

Also, very possible that the measures that were take to keep people "safe" were a factor. Anyone know if there was a control group given the same treatment (double blind) - but with a placebo?

Have you guys thought about becoming a reseller as another line of business? In the post it says you need about 1200 drives a month (if read that right) so you could buy 10,000 from the manufacturer, and then sell the extra as Backblaze Approved(tm) or some such. I'd much rather buy a drive I know you guys have put through its paces, especially if I knew that purchase would help fund more data and research, by supporting your business.

The population of midwest states totals nearly 68 million people. According to the Census Bureau 84% of the US population lives in suburban and urban areas. That gives an estimate of nearly 11 million people living in the rural midwest.
I don't know whether that's true or not (it's certainly a libertarian talking point I'm familiar with), but most criminal statutes are not strict liability.

This argument is besides the point, though. I'm not saying that contempt rules are OK because the underlying crimes require the state to prove mens rea. I'm saying, the court has for centuries been charged with ascertaining truths that are in some sense unknowable, because they depend on determining what someone was thinking. This isn't a new challenge for the court.
This can't be the whole story. Consider math books. Publishers have coordinated math curriculums, perhaps a dozen different ones used across the country. I feel that the people picking these books are persuaded by the different book publishers to buy expensive, colorful math books that fundamentally are inferior to simpler, less costly math curriculum/books, like the math program and books used in Singapore (which are in English).

>Regardless, Roundup is not safe.

PROVE IT.

All studies thus far point to roundup/glyphosate being incredibly safe. Far safer than any alternative, including many "natural" ones. The LD50 for glyphosate is like a fucking kilogram for humans.

After college I did a Phd in genetics.

> But if my neighbor miswires a light switch and it starts a fire that burns my house down because they're close together, that would suck. In that situation, I would have wanted a say in whether my neighbor chose to do that themselves or hire someone who knows what they're doing.

I'm more or less in the same boat, but leaning towards "not licensing."

Here's how I look at it: in your scenario, would licensing have really prevented any of that from happening? It might give us grounds to sue for damages, but I don't think it would deter idiots from doing what idiots are going to do. Seems more likely to hinder conscious people who can be bothered to look up "the right way" to do something in the first place.

In industrial cases though I absolutely see the need for licensing where safety is concerned - I don't want an untrained person working on the aircraft that's about to transport me across 3000 miles of land mass.

The distinction I would make is a matter of scale and significance I suppose.
I've been considering building something like this for a while. We live by a busy highway and a TON of cars pass on a daily basis. I'm really just interested in counting the number of them though I love data so anything that I could get I'd love to get. That said, I did the typical "hit a wall" thing and just performed it all in my head until I realized that I'd have trouble when this or that happened and stalled. Guess I probably should've just started. This still has some bugs to work out for my situation but seems like an awesome start!

The feds could also do some easy, central infrastructure things that would reduce school and local govt funding needs in the first place. If the schools or localities want to buy their own, great. Three examples:

1. It seems every school uses a mishmash of Moodle, Schoology, and some Sharepoint abortion. If the feds would spend around the cost of 3 or 4 F-35 helmets ($1.6M) they could build and offer a decent school site. You know, homeworks, attendance. It could be the same software everywhere, even if you changed schools. Teachers wouldn't need retraining and kids would have their stuff follow them.

2. Fund a decent central, unbiased curriculum with open source text books. Kansas can suck an egg. Localities really _don't_ need their own curricula. The 3 R's don't need to vary with district.

3. Same as 1 but for local government operations software. Do they really all need their own?
Given how much more NYC pays in taxes than it gets back from the federal gov't and how much less many midwestern states pay than they get back (and how much more the latter tends to be the case for rural areas), it seems pretty unlikely that rural midwesterners are subsidizing the NYC subway.
This is a good point, and someone should appeal this type of punishment without jury trial.
The blockchain could just contain the .torrent file and not the actual content.
You wait until sometime violates the patent, then threaten to sue them. If they don't settle or license, then you actually sue them. If the court decides in your favor you can get damages and they have to stop making the infringing thing. Same as any other patent really!
SpaceX received uncounted billions' of dollars worth of R&D for free thanks to the existence of government-funded space programs, which already solved many of the difficult fundamental problems in the field of rocketry so SpaceX wouldn't have to. And while it's neat to watch the stuff they do, there's very little SpaceX is doing that's revolutionary as opposed to evolutionary. So of course now SpaceX can come in and reduce the costs by building on the existing base of work in the field.

Hyperloop doesn't have anywhere near that amount of free R&D or established, easy-to-increment-to-get-there technologies to draw on.

Infections, chemical burns, lice transferrals.

But if you're very lucky, the chemicals will kill the lice, and you'll be too worried about your new disease to be concerned about your hair!
You have the freedom to do what you like to your own head, which is why the gloop is sold in shops.

But when you set up in business the people paying you money need to know you're not incompetant and that you're not going to cause them chemical burns.

Some of the chemicals - (EG sodium hydroxide) - can be pretty harsh.

(I'm not sure the expensive US method of regulating hair dressers is correct, but it's not totally stupid to regulate people putting sodium hydroxide on your head)
I think you need to learn more about property rights and the availability of public rights of way.

Property rights extend below ground, and it is generally necessary to either acquire the land, or an easement to the underlying "subsurface". For example, in NYC, the transit authority needs to acquire "subsurface transit" easements to build subway lines, though in most cases today most deeds are already burdened by such easements as a result of historical eminent domain actions by the transit authority.

Public rights of way that are adequate for a rail line, for the most part, are historical remnants of earlier railroads and rail lines. A well-developed city without those historical remnants, like Seattle, generally doesn't have existing rights of way *on which to build a rail line." A relatively undeveloped city like SLC, with plenty of open space, doesn't have to restrict itself to using public rights of way.

What if your neighbour puts a large pot of oil on the stove and drops some water in the boiling oil and the whole thing catches on fire (and the house burns down and your house is near)? Or candles? Or cigarettes in bed?

I don't have numbers, but I would be fairly confident in a guess that many, many more houses burn down because of a combination of open flames and carelessness, than do because of low-level DIY electrical work.
They were probably easier problems at a younger age...
But it is absolute insanity that it had to get to that point. How many other people don't even bother to open shop because of this? How many shut down because it's not worth the fight?

The good news is: a judge can't hold you in contempt for relying on your Constitutional rights. So either it's going to be Constitutional for the state to demand encryption to be unlocked, or "indefinite" contempt detentions will be overturned by a superior court.
I don't think that qualifies as 'HyperLoop' even if they keep the name. It's like building an airplane except you use it underwater, sorry that's a sub.

That said, it suggests that the HyperLoop concept is not viable which is not that surprising IMO. However, it might also just be a case of lower R&D costs.
>Maybe the business plan for passenger planes and trains was also that hazy back then?

I've used Roundup a little bit (not anywhere close to what would happen occupationally) and have always been more concerned with exposure to the solvent during application than any later exposure.

I'm not sure what the OSHA thing entails, I'm sure it means that employers would have to make information available to employees, but it isn't clear that it would require them to do anything more.
A good portion of which can do serious harm to life. Therefore "unknown" is the issue.

Brian from Backblaze here. Our new B2 product is priced at half a penny per GByte per month which accurately reflects how much it costs for us to store your data including a small profit for us.

So the $5/month is profitable for us up to a 1 TByte backup. We have about 25 customers with more than 50 TBytes in a $5/month backup, and yes, we lose money on them (which is FINE - they often recommend us to friends with less data). On the opposite end, we have about 20,000 customers with less than 20 GBytes backed up where we are massively profitable on those particular customers. Interestingly enough, my 84 year old father is in that demographic - no digital music, no digital movies, a few digital photos and a Quicken file. Last year he lost a hard drive, we restored his files from Backblaze. :-)

In between the 50 TByte and 10 GByte customers is a big bell curve with the bulk of our customers basically paying for their own backups.

A different way to think about it is the vast majority of people store files inside their laptops and are happy. The maximum size hard drive you can configure in a laptop today is probably about 1 TByte (the 2 TByte laptop size drives are just starting to appear), so by definition we're profitable on people like this. Technical people think everybody is like them and has a 16 TByte RAID array filled with all the Linux ISOs and movies. :-) But really most people have less than a TByte of personal data.
What makes you think they've been fully isolated for 60,000 years?

I think you are hitting the real point. Governments have less and less experts who can oversee such a project. Instead they rely on bidders who manage the project. If you ever have dealt with contractors working on your house our outsourced an IT project to a company you quickly learn that you need to stay on top of things all the time otherwise you'll get ripped off.
From reading the end of the story, it is clear that they did not have reasonable suspicion. They had a responsive seller on Craigslist who was selling the same computer as the supposed buyer had lost. Do you believe owning the same model computer is reasonable suspicion? Does use of Craigslist meet your threshold of reasonable suspicion? Their reasonable suspicion was predicated on the signaling of the person inspecting the laptop, and that signal never came.

I haven't looked into it, but I have always been curious about it. I would imagine that many chemical processes from industry have byproducts that are recycled and used in different ways. Putting them into cheap products like Roundup makes sense, from a pure business perspective.

My point is people expect privacy even when sharing information with third parties. Just because your xbox kinect is always watching and amazon echo listening - doesn't mean the average consumer doesn't expect privacy.

My question is, why limit dragnet surveillance to only metadata? It seems arbitrary to not also record full transcripts -- if we really don't have any expectation to privacy.
This is a very old legal debate. It can be resolved politically by passing statutes limiting the application of contempt rules, but that seems unlikely to happen soon.
"license" is too loosey goosey a term. It could be related to insurance/safety regulations, or it could be in relation to a trade group's attempt to limit competition. An article that fails to clearly say what they mean by "license" isn't going to make any clear point.
It's great to see the advances in research that are being done around Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine as the results that are coming out look incredibly promising.

That being said, godDAMN how in the hell is anyone ever going to take studies like this seriously when they're being reported as "Magic Mushrooms" in Scientific American of all places? This isn't raver kiddies eating dried who-knows-what out of ziplock bags at raves, this is a controlled dosing of psilocybin in a medical setting for treatment of a serious illness. The stigma around researching these drugs is never going to go away unless the language itself changes.
There are a ton of start ups here in Boulder, Denver and the outlaying suburbs. Even Fort Collins (FOCO). If you are physically in Colorado, there are ton of meetups. I would recommend New Tech Denver, New Tech Boulder. (These are are great networking events, usually 100 people.) I host the CoFounder Lab in Denver.

Denver startup week is in the fall, and Boulder is I think right now? I have found these weeks to be best for networking and maybe partying.

I don't know much about product manager positions, but you try talking to a recruiter, at least to get the lay of the land.

Lots of cannabis start ups as well. I would also check http://angel.co
