JPGs are also a lot safer as PDFs can ping remote resources using carefully hidden beacon images.

Although that said, I sometimes use this to see who opened my files. I once left hundreds of these on a very popular cloud hosting provider (not naming names), and somebody working there was stupid to open the PDF on a machine connected to the internet, thereby proving abuse by employees and proving any random stranger can access 'your' files in the so called 'cloud'.

I don't think this is exclusively an issue with crowdfunding. For example, this issue exists in the public markets. Both Amazon and Google have never declared nor paid dividends.

As an equity holder in these scenarios, you do own a share of the underlying assets, but are unlikely to see any distributed cash flows.
Reading this, and other comments, makes me realize there is a secret assisted-dying dance in play in the medical system. If you say the magic words "I think he is in pain" repeatedly, then the medical staff can legally administer a coincidentally lethal amount of morphine.

If assisted-dying was legal, regulated, and a well accepted practice there would be none of this "Do you think he is in pain? wink" nonsense and they could directly ask whether or not you would like to have him humanely euthanized.

Then no one else would ever have to begin a comment with "I accidentally euthanized my father" ever again. That is just too tragic. Even if it was honestly the best course of action, I'd want to at least be cognizant of my decision, not to just piece it together years later. :(
When teacher's don't have a union the administration can add uncompensated hours to their work week, assign them uncompensated duties, assign them extra class loads (teach two classes at the same time) and fire the best teachers because they challenge an administrators idea of what good teaching look like.

> but then, how should public sector employees ask for better conditions?

The government already has to compete against the private sector. If wages rise there, whether through union action or labor shortages, then government will have to act accordingly. This works in the opposite direction as well (lowering wages/costs).

The main issue is that the current government does not have an interest in long term planning. The current mayor/governor/steward is more than willing to push the true costs of things down the road because they won't be around to account for them. That's how you end up with massive unfunded pension obligations.

Public sector unions are just one part of this problem albeit a big part.

As a full supporter of cannabis legalization, I'm also a big supporter of a technology that can instantly detect whether someone's reflexes are impaired by cannabis.

Notice that I'm focusing on whether or not they are impaired, as opposed to the amount in their bloodstream. The point being that people that use cannabis regularly for medical reasons don't seem to be impaired by it at all, while newer or more occasional users are certainly impaired.

It would be fascinating to see what kind of technologies could be used to achieve this that folks on HN are aware of.

Canada is liberal but not really socialist. I know this is not a distinction made in the US generally, but it is in much of the world.

There is a significant 20%ish of the population here that could be called social democratic / socialist.

But the majority of the population trends liberal, which I would characterize as very liberal on social / cultural issues, in favour of some social spending here and there (including our public health care system), activist role on environmental issues... but not in favour of social control of industries, not really pro-union, not really in favour of expanding social programs, swinging frequently towards an austerity focus when that's the way the wind is blowing...

I use the NDK a lot because you can kind of ignore the Android nonsense and structure your code properly. My approach is to have it build out the main activity then fire out into my app code. That code is beautifully MVC and for the most part ignores Activities, Fragments and Intents. For me it was faster to develop in than Android Java because I wasn't so strongly tied to the view code.

There's something I find really off-putting about a tool that's going to be managing private keys having dependencies that point to the master branch of various third party git repositories.

It also unconditionally tries to listen on ports 80, 402, 443, 552 and 4402 whenever it completes a challenge, even if you have absolutely no intention of using any of these verification methods, so there's a lot of moving parts most of which you don't want.

> People still disable JS in 2016? I take it that 80%+ of the web is horribly broken for you guys.

Yeah, it is — but it's better to have to enable JavaScript on a one-by-one basis when desired that to travel across the Internet executing random code and impairing one's privacy.

Some websites require JavaScript to display images nowadays. What's wrong with <img>? Others require JavaScript to use the correct font. What's wrong with CSS? Still others require JavaScript to show text. What's wrong with HTML? Still others require JavaScript to build links. What's wrong with <a>?

JavaScript is destroying the Web. What was a powerful technology for disseminating formatted text across the world has become a cobbled-together GUI held together with baling wire and twine.

WP only runs one application at a time. When you switch away from an app, it's "tombstoned" so that the app in focus has all available resources. It is possible to run tasks in the background, but IIRC the OS reserves the right to tell your background task "GFY".
>But what about their propensity to drive really slow?

You mean like a bicycle, moped, a new parent driving extra slow, an elderly driver, or any other street legal slow vehicle does?

I understand that drivers assume the speed LIMIT is a speed suggestion, and experience road rage when driving under the limit, but there is nothing -- nothing -- illegal or unsafe about staying under the speed limit.

If there is something unsafe about it, there should be a minimum posted speed (many places have this).
Alcohol has two synergetic problems for drivers... it reduces reflexes and increases confidence, simultaneously. Less capable, and more aggressive. No wonder it's so awful for drivers.

Marijuana doesn't significantly impair reflexes (as generations of musicians have shown). As for judgment, it tends to make users more cautious, not more aggressive. They're not trying to get around that car in front of them to blow through the used-to-be-yellow light - they're trying to make sure they remember where they're going...
Yes. This, however, isn't it.
> At-will employment is a joke.

I will be the first to admit that I am generally pro-business. Earlier comments make it clear I am generally anti-union, or at best ambivalent. That being said, I can generally understand the argument of the other side, even if I disagree with it.

But I don't understand at all the sentiment that at-will employment is negative. I believe if you're bad at your job, your boss should be able to fire you. That day. The obvious straw man here is "well at-will means you can be fired for anything, so if you wear yellow shoes and your boss doesn't like yellow he can fire you," which just never happens. So that nonsense aside, I honestly do not know what the opposition to at-will employment is.

>With union = No merit based pay.

Unions aren't inherently against merit based pay. They're against merit based pay where managers get to unilaterally decide what counts as merit.

When managers (especially non-specialist managers) are in charge, fealty normally trumps competence anyway.

>So what is the actual right path?

Either come up with an objective standard for merit that unions and management can agree on or go for the closest objective approximation - seniority and accept that some incompetent people are going to take a paycheck (the horror!).
I don't think the extra $0.75 an hour or so compared to the non-union companies was doing us any favors. Not to mention the large percentage of that difference that went to union dues.

I think its something to do with, abuse by employers of vulnerable workers who can't stand up for themselves. Never mind yellow shoes; how about being critical of an abusive new rule by a sadistic manager? Unions were invented because of things like that and a hundred more; and yes I imagine somebody got fired for wearing the wrong color of shoes somewhere, sometime. And before unions, could do nothing about it.
Quite the opposite actually, it's a much better experience. I avoid many of the annoyances one can encounter on a daily basis.

Most of us are likely not outright disabling, we're white-listing, it's a big difference and IMHO the best way to browse.

It's an approach that basically considers the user experience on all websites to be hostile until you decide to grant them some trust. Given that many websites do implement hostile user experiences, it works out perfect.

Case-in-point: You can get incredibly inexpensive service if you use a provider which only serves urban areas. People will complain that they took a road trip and didn't have service for 6 hours though.

This is one of the reasons why CDMA is/was much more popular is the US than elsewhere. CDMA requires fewer towers than GSM for equivalent geographical coverage. This is what allowed Verizon (CDMA) to advertise that they covered so much more of the United States than AT&T (GSM) did.
Android is a messy process. Since you've effectively implied that you're excluding all of the options, you only have message Android.

Web apps don't suck that much as long as each screen does one thing well. Xamarin is for getting a slightly more elegant language (since Java 1.8 isn't supported) into the mix while providing a reasonable cross-system platform. Clojure/Kotlin/Scala do require you to master Android first because they are built on top of it. Each provides is own abstraction, even if it's just a language.

In the end it's about trade offs and acceptance. Raw Android is like working in a better assembly. It's got decade's old abstractions. It's powerful, but annoying. For everything else, there's the complexity of working with the various abstractions over a system that does not want to be abstracted.
That's a really good point. Various articles are spinning it as if they bought AAPL because it's so cheap after the nosedive it's been in lately. That's not what the timeline was, and isn't really Berkshire's MO to time the market like that.

At least in the US you can get a ticket for going under the speed limit if it is deemed to be impeding traffic even if there is no posted minimum limit. Especially if it is a multi-lane road and you are not in the rightmost lane.

The text was a bit small but I could easily read it on my Galaxy.
Some of the things to look for:

1. ACQUISITION: Has the number of new clients that you gain gone down significantly ? If yes, look into your current sales and marketing channels. For example, if you used to get a lot of inbound marketing (through search engine etc), check if your search engine rankings has taken a bit hit suddenly. Has google penalized you suddenly ? Have you lost some key backlinks or referrals that were providing you significant traffic and conversions before ? For outbound marketing, have you lost a key resource on your team ?

2. ATTRITION: If you are losing "current" clients at a significantly higher rate, talk to them directly when they cancel. Has something changed in your SAAS suddenly ? Did you drop a major feature ? Has your customer support changed a lot compared to 3 months ago ? Has a new competitor come up or an existing competitor is getting your current clients to join them instead ?

3. BUSINESS DOMAIN: Do you do business in a specific domain that is perhaps seasonal ? Is it possible that you may have a slower business during certain times of the year ? Just throwing this out as well.

Find answers to these questions above and I am sure you will get an idea of where things are going wrong.

Disable all Javascript? No, that does not work. That's why extensions like NoScript exist, so that you can whitelist safe domains.

This is actually quite usable, but on about 3% of websites, it doesn't work. These site are usually those horrible abomination of bloat-pages that, for no good reason whatsoever, need javascript files from 20 different domains in order to display a static page (I'm looking at you, Wired.com). In these cases, it becomes too tedious to pick the domains that should be whitelisted.

Most times, I simply close the offending website. In the rare case that I actually want to visit the site, I temporarily switch to Chrome.

I still go through the hassle of using NoScript, because it un-breaks pages that would otherwise for no good reason whatsoever decide it's OK to intercept common key combinations (CTRL+t), disable right-clicks, serve pop-ups, pop-overs, or pop-unders, start playing videos or sound without me asking for that thank you very much, or generally try to hijack my browser, my data, or my computer.
> Slowing down is the single most effective thing to reduce traffic accidents and injury. Not good for efficiency or smooth flow, sure. But can't claim its not safer.

Go to any motorcycle riding school and all their instructors will teach you that riding slower than the traffic around you is more dangerous than maintaining the average traffic speed, even when above the legal speed limit.
>At least in the US you can get a ticket

As a US citizen I will tell you this is false. We have basically no national traffic laws.

Your local state, city or other local government may have passed a law like this.

For example, in my area, it was made illegal to stay in the left lane moving more slowly than those behind you -- you must yield to the right if they want to go more quickly.

But some 99% of Americans do not live under this local law I'm discussing.
Sure, I can make that claim. People driving slow, as you state, aren't good for smooth flow. Have you ever been driving at night at the speed limit and suddenly come upon someone going 15mph under? It's really dangerous.

> Marijuana doesn't significantly impair reflexes (as generations of musicians have shown).

As an aside, is music really reliant on reflexes like this? I would assume that the beat of a song gives one plenty of forewarning as to when a melody might change.

And that assumes that the rhythm of a melody doesn't put you in am altered, hypnotic state in other ways.
Is it Verizon-branded? Because they are bastards and will do whatever they want (that is, all the bad things, like disabling all the cool and useful features, and adding unremovable bloatware) on devices that go through their process.
