Sarcasm is difficult to convey over the text so I'm not sure if you're serious, but you should be if you aren't. Forget about morality, ethics, or any of that think of the children bullshit, paying the cost of about $2.50-$5/student/day is downright cheap for the returns we get down the line: from not having to pay to fix the medical problems they acquired as kids from malnourishment or shitty TV dinners, the welfare they wont be collecting because their grades are better, the reduction in crime, the increase in GDP, etc..

It's a really small thing, but it really does keep poor kids from getting stuck on the C student/underachiever track when their parent's get a break an don't have to worry about food.

I wish they were better at it. For 15 years now, people have promised that relevant ads will be useful rather than annoying. So far, it seems like the pinnacle of that is to show me the last pair of shoes I looked at on Zappos every where I go.

Ad-tech seems laughably bad. Now I just run with uBlock Origin. Maybe I'll block ads for the next 15 years and see how things are looking in 2030.
It is free market. You're free to find another town to set up shop in.

I erred on the side of too thick walls instead of too thin, as I was a bit worried about durability. They're thicker than they need to be, though. It would definitely drop costs to make them thinner.

As far as clipping along an arbitrary border, it shouldn't be difficult. I haven't actually made a model with a non-square border yet, but I've been meaning to for awhile. I probably won't have time to in the next few months, though. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

I wish a good, solid, but flexible founder agreement template existed. I have not found any that wasn't overly opinionated.

Palo Alto is one of the most desirable areas to live in ... why? It's because of smart zoning rules.
Ah, yes, of course. I guess at some point you're supposed to develop soil testing and stop putting the toxins in to the soil. And the air. And the water. It's not looking too good is it.

That's correct. Netflix can do 1080p in IE and Edge (because they use unsandboxed PlayReady) and in Safari (which uses Apple's FairPlay).

It's not just a tax problem. It also works out differently for the people who don't work at those tech companies. A downtown that houses mostly businesses that feed their employees will become less "porous" over time, and less amendable to people who live downtown vs. those who work downtown. A downtown without restaurants and bars and corner shops is not a downtown worth speaking of.

I spent several years living in Houston, which, at the time, had among the least pleasant downtowns I'd ever seen, or have seen since. It was completely bereft of good food, small shops, etc. There was no reason to go downtown unless you worked there, and no way to live there, and it showed. At night, it was a total dead zone; the fourth largest city in the nation, and its downtown population at night approached zero.
Article seems to fail to mention that the majority of apartments in Stockholm (55% in 2014, more now) are in housing cooperatives ("bostadsrätt" -- in practice like a condo but not quite [Swedish compromise]).

For a lot of people it's the normal - and indeed only - way to get an apartment in Stockholm. And it's actually not difficult to get one in the city if you're a Swede with a decent salary (meaning you can get a mortgage loan). (I.e., just about any IT salary.)

"Like many foreigners, she’s reluctant to buy, following a price rise of 14% in the city in last year alone" -- another way of seeing it is of course that prices will probably continue to go up (they've certainly been doing that for the last decades, this is no temporary bubble), meaning buying your apartment can be a good investment.

People having been worrying about rising prices since... a long time.

If you were unlucky enough to buy your apartment in Stockholm city at the "peak" in 2007, right before the prices went down slightly during the financial meltdown of 2008, it'd still have increased in value with about 60% by now. Meaning if you sold it today, you would have essentially lived for free and quite possibly earned some money on top. Whereas had you rented, you would've paid say 864000 SEK (~92000 EUR) during those years for an 8000 SEK per month rental.

Apartments in the city have historically not been a a risky investment; I know which one of renting vs. buying that I'd choose.

Not saying that all is fine. There are many good reasons why one might not want to (or can't) buy an apartment, and in those cases the situation can be very tough indeed.

He, as a developer, poses a way to do something, and I refute it as a person on the other side of the wire, i.e. the user/hacker. Where else than Hacker News is more apt for this sort of discussion?

The issue is that his ownership only existed as a technicality and he only received a favorable outcome due to to the inflexible nature of the legal system. He was not a 50% owner or anything near that. However, due to a lack of evidence otherwise, he was able to convince the court he was.
I'm inclined to say that it's on-topic. I've never been to SF or Silicon Valley, certainly never worked there, but it's the region that Hacker News and the startup world in general (the computing world in general?) is centered on; call it future-historical-interest as much as anything else.
Tally is more like a self driving car for your credit cards. It helps optimizes all your payments, balances, stops late fees, and helps you avoid obscure penalties.

Unless you have a detailed requirements document, documented Test plan and a full Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM), the client cannot really argue this. A lot of clients will not be able to tell the different between a "bug" and an "enhancement". If I had a penny for every time a client said "System does not work. This is an issue".....Well it is not an "issue". It is a functionality that doesn't exist as per the project scope and now needs to be implemented as a "Change Request" or "enhancement".

Behind the Scenes at Itch.io: An Interview with Amos Wenger
There is a recent inclination among designers to write JS and take part in writing front-end code. Youtube is full of their talks.

JS/Hypertext was not initially meant for engineering anyting, so it's not analogous to a combination of UI toolkit & proper programming language & a compiler.
What's in a name? What you call "social media surveillance," others might call "open source intelligence." Interestingly, the same people might call the same thing by different words, depending on whether they profit from it.

For fairness, here's a blog post by Brightplanet, one of the subjects of the OP, called "What is OSINT and how can your organization use it? [0]

Many of the same issues that came up in discussion of the recent OKCupid study [1] apply to this piece. I liked what AnhonyMuse wrote in reply to my comment: "people want to create a binary distinction between 'public' (meaning public domain, can be used for anything by anyone) and 'private' (meaning something known solely to a single individual), with no intermediary steps between them."

This point applies especially to people's feelings on "social media surveillance." To those most concerned about it, an easy argument exists: if you didn't want to be surveilled, why did you post it "publicly" on the Internet? The problem with this argument is that, as AnthonyMuse pointed out, people have different definitions, and therefore expectations, of what is public.

Personally, I think that "open source intelligence" or "social media surveillance," or whatever you want to call it, needs to become as mainstream as Google. Its power is only "creepy" or corruptible so long as only a few entities can wield it. Surveillance in the hands of a few is dangerous; surveillance in the hands of many is powerful. When everyone has the power to spy on everybody else, then everyone must correctly calibrate their "expectations" for what is public and what is not. If you know that some percentage of your friends on social media are using "surveillance" tools, then you'll be more careful about what you post, because you will understand the true meaning of "public." Whereas if all the surveillance continues to happen in secret, you will continue to post recklessly, blissfully unaware of just how "public" your posts are.

We need to democratize open source intelligence in order to balance the power between those who currently hold it and those who don't. Why should the NSA have all the fun?

Will the "next Google" be a company that indexes the "deep web" [2] and provides a search engine for it?

Welcome to MediumDesk
I'm curious as to why points didn't work for their site, but they seem to have worked at least ok for this site, where they get you the ability to downvote, and great for Reddit, where they're completely worthless.
Regardless of your opinion, if you have any interest in code quality (hint: you should), then you should respect the contributing guidelines for the project you are contributing to.

Your argument / opinion as stated could have "commit history" replaced with "unit tests" and in many circles (for some reason), people are still making that argument. For a project to be healthy, a critical eye must be used for every change: from the code, to the tests, to the commit message. If you don't care about any one of these, you are saying you don't care about the quality of the software. I would deny your PR on principle. My project needs more quality than it needs more contributors.

Note that I did not suggest squashing is good or bad. My opinion on that is not related to the fact that you should care about it and treat it as just as important as your contribution, and you should respect the project enough to abide their guidelines for contribution (unless your contribution is revising those guidelines).

In SF I've witnessed, first hand, people accusing others of "cultural appropriation" which is about as silly as you can get. I only visit now and then though, so I don't know if a lot of people are like this or I just had an unlucky experience. But look at Github and their racist and sexist policies disguised under "social justice" (their words). It's safe to assume those people live there and actually believe those things.

Sure though, it might not be "all around them", unless they're at college.
Actually, the exact opposite. Central Palo Alto was built before World War II, when zoning codes were nonexistent, or much less strict. Most of Silicon Valley was built afterwards, when zoning mandated cookie-cutter suburbs, sterile office parks and acres of parking lots, and is much uglier.
Wouldn't doubt what you mention; I attempted to allude as to such. In legally precise language, yes I get the statement is the agreed upon statement. In general, casual observational language the agreed upon statement offers little in content.
> In the United States, source code is protected as free speech.

That's unclear in the general sense. There have been some Circuit Court decisions that held something like that in at least some circumstances, and some criticism that the broader of those are in some tension with applicable Supreme Court precedent. AFAIK, the Supreme Court has never held that source code is speech in the broad sense.

> Limitations on free speech are subject to "strict scrutiny"

Incorrect. Content-based limitations on speech are subject to strict scrutiny, content-neutral limitations on speech are subject to intermediate scrutiny. Restriction of a particular medium of speech without regard to content would seem to be a content-neutral restriction.
I dunno man, there's plenty of housing, and room to build it, once you get outside New York City.

The dumb part, I think, is the tendency for humans to huddle together in ever-greater masses in the corners of our vast continents, like Emperor Penguins.

Penguins, of course, do it so that they don't freeze to death. But many of the people who live in New York seem to just want to live in New York so they can live a New York lifestyle because that's what looks cool on TV.
I think your post is sarcasm, but there's some lemonade to make from your lemons.

In 2007, I removed all traces of myself from the internet. Now, if you search me, I don't come up (try it). I likely have google profiles, but I can be sure that none are tied to my real name.

I've been arrested three times, but good luck finding my information in the system, after filing a DMCA takedown notice for violation of my intellectual property rights.

if you're trying to engage in commerce in the modern world, you need to learn trust law. put your assets in trust(s), and retain no personal liability for anything. If your house is owned by another entity that isn't you, and you don't even have a rental contract with that entity, that means you're legally homeless, even though you have both a home and a claim to the property. it's much harder to find you when a Bermuda Trust Corporation owns your home.

I travel by bus and car, though I have an enforced and recognized adverse claim under UNDHR guaranteeing my right to travel unencumbered, which took a bit of a rodeo, but was definitely worth it. "I" am the holder in due course of the New Vehicle Identification Statement (NeVIS) for my car, which means I retain full lawful and equitable title for my property, and do not require a license plate (Steve Jobs did something similar).

With the recent adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Persons, second-generation-born-on-American-Soil persons can claim indigenous rights. When it comes to travel, Jay's Treaty[0] makes travel for indigenous people simple; mention it at the border, watch their face light up, and play the Legend of Zelda "secret room" music in your head as you're waved through without more questions.

Citizens have three jobs: Answer your mail, pay the taxes you owe, and Vote. Make sure you reply to all contract offers (those you are obligated to respond to, that is) within 72 hours of receipt. If you get jury duty, inform them that your attendance that day is without prejudice (but attend).

Unfortunately, when it comes to other people, we are definitely in a world of surveillance, which has a chilling effect on other people's ability to stand out from a crowd. The public will punish square pegs that do not fit in round holes, even if they aren't in any way harmful to themselves or others. The best advice I can give is to take a cue from the CIA - Trust, but verify. If someone starts showing signs that they disagree with your lifestyle or political stance, withdraw from having that conversation with them in the future.

Don't crinkle in a ball. Just learn how to survive in a world designed for slavery.

Yeah, consumption vs. creation is a great way to sum it up.

By and large I've cut WAY back on my video game playing (like, from several hours a week down to maybe a half hour of mobile gaming in bed at night) and tried to replace it with "healthier" activities like learning guitar and gardening.

Oddly enough, I don't feel like I have any more free time in my life. I'm wondering if I've filled the gap with more consumption via Reddit/HN/reading books enough to make up for the difference.

And that's the rub, because a lot of the stuff I read online or in books isn't garbage. HN has some interesting topics, my Reddit feed is lots of interesting stuff for the most part now, and I'm reading a great book on investing. Ultimately though those are still consumptive activities.
Great list!

I recently visited Cook Forest [1] in northwest Pennsylvania and it is breathtakingly beautiful. It's not just quantitatively different (bigger trees) but also qualitatively -- all towering evergreens in a very deciduous state. It's really sobering to think of how much we lost by clearcutting before we started to think about conservation seriously in the last 120 years or so.

I wasn't saying they vet claims per se; I was saying they almost certainly have to vet people who sign up for Content ID in the first place. Which might explain why they limit signup privileges to known commodities. (Or at least might partially explain it).

YouTube has business and licensing agreements in place with some of these content owners. There is absolutely no way they aren't vetting signups for Content ID in at least some capacity. For one thing, how would they pay people their rev share for premium content clips if they didn't have reasonable assurance those people really were MTV, or NBC, or Sony Music, or what have you?

Now, is my overall explanation overly charitable? Entirely possible. I really have no idea what goes on with this process. All I'm doing is offering a possible explanation.

Most private schools are pretty expensive, so I would bet that most school districts, spend less than the median private school. But that's not my claim. My claim was that most of the crappiest public school districts (CPS, DCPS, NYPS, LAUSD) spend more than it would cost to send the students to a competitive [to the district itself] private school.

CPS: Per-pupil cost, $14k. Archdiocese of chicago: $7k

NYPS: Per-pupil cost, $19k

DCPS: Per-pupil cost, $18k

LAUSD: Per-pupil cost, $15k (official, 7k, a rediculous number, but independent McKenna college researchers estimate 15k)

These costs don't include capital costs. An independent estimate including capital costs for LAUSD suggests $30k/pupil.
The bit about developers demolishing all but the 1/4 of a building and rebuilding to upgrade while keeping the zoning is nuts.

Though consider also that:

* They benefit from the enormous selection bias of "parents who take financial pains to send their kids to Catholic school".

* They have carte blanche to dismiss problematic and challenging students back to the public school system.

* They generally don't offer programs for learning disabled and behaviorally disabled students.

* They aren't obliged to honor the CPS students per classroom maximum.

* Catholic school teachers take a pay cut to serve in that system.

* They generally have poorer facilities than the Chicago public schools.

I'm a product of Chicago Catholic schools, and I was pretty amazed to see what the local public school system offered my own kids.

There is definite value in having more granular commits, but at the same time, there are commits that don't really belong in the commit history.

While it might take more time than squashing everything, git rebase -i really helps a ton in these situations. I can fixup all the "fixed typo" type of commits into a meaningful commit, and even reword commits if necessary.
When I start a new maven project, it comes with junit by default and with the test tree created. The first thing I do when starting a nontrivial class is to hit the shortcut for create new test. I should make it fail empty classes in the test tree. Automating the testing burden helps especially when interfacing with a tricky API; sometimes it's mocking, sometimes it's a real object in isolation.
