So this is actually huge. The StartCom CA is trusted in almost every damn browser (mobile or otherwise).

This is basically saying the CA's private key has been leaked. Because the end result is the same: I can now issue a certificate for any damn domain I want and have it trusted.

The certificate authority system is broken.
There is, but how depends on the browser. Luckily :( we have precedents:

In theory, California provides $124 a day in compensation to the wrongfully imprisoned.

In practice, the State makes it VERY hard to ever recover those funds. There are guys who were exonerated years ago who are still waiting to receive a single penny.

There is a rule that forbids OS X app developers from selling an app that is in the app store at a lesser price somewhere else. I am really surprised that this is not considered anti-competitive price fixing.

grandalf speaks of team sports and situational awareness, complex planning, reading the floor, and other mental aspects of sports.

The examples in the "Sports Gene" are mostly about the kind of genetics that allow some to run micro to milliseconds faster than others, oxygenate slightly better, and so on. These things might help in the olympics where such minor distinctions matter but are certainly not a key or deciding factor in many sports.
Care to share the provider or details?

When I was in the UK for a few months in 2014 the deals were worse than the US and the data caps were lower (LTE on EE).

EE also actually went down twice while I was there in London which I've never had Verizon ever do.
Sure, but I know nothing about Rackspace and refuse to trust them as a result. Plus I doubt they have anything that can compete with Fastmail's web interface, powered by the JMAP protocol they authored.

So here's what I know about Fastmail that I want to know about any provider I host with:

- I know Fastmail will refuse any requests from the US govt to access data because they're Australian and legally the request has to come from an Australian court

- I know Fastmail's servers use encrypted storage

- I know the specs of Fastmail's servers (they post them on their Help/FAQ)

- I know Fastmail's actually trying to make email better, obvious by their invention of the JMAP protocol

- I trust Fastmail to be able to recover from any serious issues because they actually have on staff developers of Cyrus, the open source IMAP software they use. This means their admins have actual recourse when Bad Things^TM happen, vs the usual when an admin runs out of options, eg, "let's just post on mailing lists and hope we can find an answer"

- I know the fine details of how their spam filtering works, because it's publicly documented. (and it's quite well integrated with some tricks I couldn't employ at my last ISP job as I didn't have developers to assist)

- I know their infrastructure is primarily hosted in NYI with the backup in Iceland.

- I know they are serious about security, as they've been proponents of full SSL/TLS vs STARTTLS which could be MITM and downgraded (yes, many MTAs will let you require STARTTLS, but there are always possibilities of client bugs that could be exploited when you let an attacker intercept plaintext and inject data before the upgrade to a validated TLS session)

- I know how their backups work, because it's documented and I also have the ability to undelete emails which almost no provider gives the end user.

- I know their support is responsive and competent, as they've actually fixed Webmail bugs and put them into production for me within 48 hours

- Fastmail does PUSH email on iOS, while GMail, Rackspace, and most other providers don't offer this because it requires custom integration with Apple's Push Notifications service.

tl;dr yeah, the average provider might promise the moon but can they actually deliver when the shit hits the fan? will they actually strive to please their users and make the internet a better place? probably not.
That's not a fair assumption, I've never heard of the Yes Men for example.

I'd assume they knew what they were doing, as these sorts of concerns are often on the mind of satirists. They should have included a disclaimer or something making it clear that the video was a parody.

It's reasonable to think they may have been counting on short attention spans and ignorance to spread false rumors about NRA positions.
It sounds like I have the same injury as you do. Five years ago I broke the olecranon in my left elbow and had to get it all screwed back together. To echo other suggestions, I would say swimming is definitely the way to go if you want to improve upper body fitness. Everything else I've found to be too high-impact and causes discomfort. Also keep up the running.
It's hard to say -- one of Trump's surrogates called the Mexico border wall a "virtual wall" and suggested that we may "build[sic] a wall over some aspects of [the border]".

http://politicsnow.buffalonews.com/2016/05/17/trumps-promise...

That makes me think Trump doesn't have any particular policy preferences, or even enough understanding of the situation to make policy choices. Rather, he understands and can exploit anti-latino immigration sentiment.

Because of the man's relatively common name, it was hard initially to find articles in the mainstream press about his exoneration (at least compared to his 2009 conviction). Here is a recent LA Times article that covers the boilerplate: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-palmdale-student...
As a person who has trouble focusing--

A.) Minimize visual stimuli in your work area. Get everything off your desk, and shove your face in a corner. (I've turned my desk to face away from the hallway.)

B.) Take notes as you work. I will write 15 minutes of code, take a note on what I'm doing, then get (purposefully) distracted for a minute or two. When I come back to my work, I can look at my note to see what I was doing and pick back up where I left off. It really minimizes the impact of distraction on my work. You can start out with lower chunks of "productive" time if you want. Practicing focus helps you to build up amount of time you can focus.

Well, part of my job description involved helping to organize tech volunteers, so I guess at the end of the day that falls on me. Really it's a general problem with a widely distributed yet generally meagerly staffed campaign. There's a lot of autonomy with regional/field staffers and in turn they don't necessarily know about everything going on at the national core (where our digital/tech efforts happened). The way to help was primarily either through finding a project to help with at https://github.com/Bernie-2016 or getting involved with Coders for Sanders (https://coders.forsanders.com); I originally was a volunteer with CFS and then joined the campaign full-time after completing a few larger volunteer projects for them. But of course there's no way for a random person wanting to get involved to really know that. I'm rambling now; I don't have a good answer per se, other than that I'm sorry you had a bad experience and I wish we'd found a way to solve this problem.

Somewhat related, I've started helping out a bit with an OSS project called Code Corps that may help with this sort of thing in the future. The basic idea is that you input your interests (education, environment, economy, etc.) and your tech skills and then get matched with political/nonprofit orgs that need your skills. https://www.codecorps.org/, https://github.com/code-corps

Openness from for profit companies is a rare beast, and only recently are companies actually starting to approve of openness as they realize its benefits. Putting Apple and North Korea as the only entities that disapprove of running to the press is disingenuous at best.
You can buy puzzle cubes, they're made up of irregular blocks that need to be assembled in a certain way to hold together. The only downside to these is that after you "learn" how to put it together by assembling it a few times, it doesn't do much for you, though I suppose you could up the challenge by assembling it blindfolded.

Field stripping and reassembling guns is a good practical entry to mechanics. Again, after you've done it a few times it doesn't really teach you anything new, but the blindfold trick would work well here too.

Lego robots are another good basic intro into mechanical intelligence. You can graduate from them to DIY robotics kits.

Well, your original question was in response to an assertion that a corporation has an ethical responsibility to its society. You asked what if the taxes are unethical, which strikes me as a bit silly at best. I only offered a suggestion to your second question of why certain profits would be considered unethical. The matter of the choices made by leaders who spend tax revenue is independent of levying, paying, and collecting taxes.

If you have an argument that describes how taxing profits is unethical in contemporary society, as they are legislated by elected representatives, I'm sure there are others beside me who'd love to read it.
Company wants to steal my brand and domain. What do to?
Posted about this earlier but it was flagged, not sure why. Made some changes. I'll gladly edit to comply with rules.

I've been doing business under a brand and have owned the corresponding domain since the early '90's. Yes, I've been doing business under this brand since before the Internet went public and got the domain as soon as it was possible.

The brand was used in commerce prominently until about 2005 (manufacturing and selling product as well as consulting). I had a C corporation under the same name.

Around 2005 I shutdown the C corp and focused mainly on consulting with a few clients a couple of times a year. I operated as a "dBA" under this brand.

Because of the nature of this brand it has, over the last few years become very relevant to a market segment that is growing significantly world wide. I've been waiting for the right opportunity to get back into the game (design and manufacturing product) to take advantage of the new opportunities.

A few months ago individuals contacted me about buying the domain from me. It turns out they just started a company in another country using this root name. They offered me a paltry sum (a few hundred bucks). I told them I had zero interest in this.

Well, fast forward to today. They are now attempting to obtain a trademark in the US (I have a common law trademark spanning nearly 30 years of continuous use). If they are granted such a trademark I am sure it is their full intent to put as much pressure on me as possible to effectively steal my domain and trademark away.

These people have tens of millions of dollars available to them and have already stated they have no problem burning cash. While I don't have the financial horsepower to fight them long term, I have sought legal advise and will take a initial steps to mount a defense.

I'm sure there's someone on HN who's walked a similar road before. I'd appreciate any thoughts you might be able to offer.
Government makes tax laws. Those laws are tested in court. Government tax departments tend not to prosecute for non-payment of tax unless it's a flagrant example of tax evasion, because court cases are complex and expensive. Prosecuting Google would take many years and be very expensive.

When a bunch of companies start misusing tax laws the tax authorities will tell them that it's wrong, announce how they'll regulate that bit of tax law in future, and reclaim a bit of unpaid tax. The companies can challenge it in court if they wish.

Non-payment of tax exists on a scale, with normal and expected tax planning at one end, probably legal (the accountants and lawyers claim it is) tax avoidance through to outright tax evasion.
Maybe prejudices will develop, but choosing to work or choosing to subsist on UBI are entirely choices. It's racist to prejudice someone because of their skin color, skin color isn't a choice. It's mean to prejudice someone because of their hair style, hair style is a choice.

We already make similar prejudices now, for a number of reasons.
That's an interesting idea, but what you're describing basically sounds like a:

A) 0% down-payment mortgage

B) where you can stop making payments at any time, and get to keep your equity in the house anyway

The above obviously sounds like a sweet deal for the buyer, but put yourself in the shoes of a developer/home-owner/bank: Why would you agree to a deal like that? Why not just sell the house to someone who is willing to commit to a traditional mortgage and buy it outright? You will only agree to the above terms if the buyer is offering you significantly more money. But as a buyer, are you willing to pay significantly more money than you would have to pay under a traditional mortgage?

It sounds like what you really want is:

A) The flexibility and mobility that comes with renting

B) The ability to invest in real-estate in an incremental and liquid manner

There is already a solution that accomplishes both of the above! Just continue renting your house, and invest the rest of your money into REITs. This way, you get all the flexibility and mobility of renting, together with the incremental and liquid nature of REIT investments.

If the reason you're averse to the above, is that you don't want to "throw your money away in rent," that's a false misconception. When you buy a house and make mortgage payments, the fact that you get to "live in the house for free" is already baked into the price of the house. This is why mortgage payments (after amortizing the down-payment) is virtually always higher than renting the same house. Regardless of whether you choose to rent or buy, you're still "throwing away" the same amount of money regardless.

Is what you suggested capable of "working"? Sure. Any arrangement can be made to work, with the appropriate numbers needed to attract a counter-party. But is it going to generate anything of value beyond what we currently have? I doubt it. If you want flexible living arrangements, rent a house. If you want to own real estate, buy REITs. If your complaint with this suggestion is that rent is too high and REITs are too expensive, there's no alternative business arrangement which will solve that problem.
It's probably best to search for "Raymond Lee Jennings."

Given the timeframe, I commend them for keeping the notices open and public. It's nice to see. When I went through the A(zure)pocolypse a few years back, didn't see anything for about 15-20 minutes... though admittedly if I weren't in the middle of testing something may have not noticed for a while either.

All said, you can't mitigate all DDoS easily, and it's nice to see that they were pretty responsive and open... Also, while email can be very important, it shouldn't be eminently critical.
Taxation without representation has not been an issue in America since 1776. Unless you're referring to multinationals lacking direct representation in foreign legislatures. At which point, it's fair to both consider that as a reasonable consequence of choosing to engage in business in other national jurisdictions, and to admit they undoubtedly have indirect representation.

This is true of any large grocery or drug store chain, at least in the U.S. I can go into CVS and buy Allegra allergy medicine, or--sitting right next to it on the shelf, also in a purple box--the CVS generic brand with the same amount of the same active ingredient, for less.

Allegra could pull their product from CVS shelves if they wanted to. But it seems that having access to CVS customers is worth more to them than the sales they lose to CVS generics.
I think that depends on your definition of FYM. For me it's $1.3MM. For others it might be $5MM or $750k.

I make a good living for my area but have nowhere near $1.3MM liquid or even my entire net worth. Getting and extra $500k would not give me any peace of mind or security that I don't already have.
Solr vs. Elasticsearch Query DSLs
I think that we have to give up the idea that we can understand anything about thought and more generally cognitive processes by looking at how it "feels" thinking (or doing math, vision, etc).

The more we observe how we work, the more we learn that we really have no idea how we work. The ancient idea that we can understand reason by reasoning have to be abandoned: it is, after all, an idealistic belief; if we accept that our cognitive processes are physical phenomena, we also have to accept that reasoning without observation is powerless.

> Or am I not really paying the Spanish entity when I buy those ads?

I'm pretty sure you pay the entity in the country that you are located in, so the Montana rancher is paying Google USA. Basically, you need a corporate presence in most places in order to _sell_ to people in those places. People in Spain pay Google Spain to place ads _as far as I understand it_—I'm not an expert on EU tax regulations.
Could you provide a reference for this "age of amnesia" ? I've heard many people claim that it's not possible to remember things before age 6. But I personally have lots of memories from ages 2 to 4 (these memories are very easy for me to accurately date, because I lived in different countries during these years). And I would definitely categorize those memories as "long term": I remember places, visits of relatives, toys I had, play dates and birthday celebrations, bike rides, etc...
Value based pricing model for freelancers and consultants
If you can help it. Never ever get paid by the hour or by the day as a consultant or freelancer.

Your pricing strategy should be to get paid by the package or the offering.
Would a chef charge $10 an hour just because the oven cooks a meal faster or would she charge $40 per plate?

Be like a chef. Charge per offering not per hour.
Create different tiers of packages if you have to but never ever by the hour.

If I find out that you are charging by the hour, I will find you and maybe pour water on you.
Many times pricing according to time shows a client that you do not understand value creation.
Why you should not price according to time spent
When you price only according to the time spent, your service is devalued.
What about your expertise, research, hidden costs etc that were not factored in?
A great service is a culmination of many tangible and intangible things.
In my experience 9 out of 10 entrepreneurs are charging less than half of what they should charge for the value they create.
One of the best books on value based pricing models for freelancers and how to charge correctly is called Breaking The Time Barrier by Mike Mcderment

You could also have the market do this, by allowing public bids on anyone's assets, and considering the highest refused bid as the tax valuation.
Wow, I can't believe I forgot beta-blockers... Especially since I have a long running prescription for them. I agree with all you've said and would even go a little further. They're quite safe to take on a regular basis and are especially effective for 'panic' type anxiety reactions (i.e. 'physical' anxiety symptoms). I still remember the first time I took these. That day, I spoke up in a large work meeting with a bunch on unfamiliar people. And for the first time in my life, I was not a shaking, sweaty mess afterwards.

The only very minor risk with them is if you're taking a fairly high daily dose and then suddenly stop. From what I understand this is really only a problem if you have some sort of pre-existing coronary disorder. Also contra-indicated if you have asthma (as it basically does the exact opposite of what those ventolin puffers do).

The current crop of mobile devices do have very nice performance.

However ergonomics is a different matter... Touch screen is pretty bad for desktop usage.

Android devices let you connect a USB or a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. You get even a mouse pointer last I tried. Although not using it like that in everyday life. It's more convenient to just use a small laptop.

With iOS Apple's Bluetooth keyboard works. Other input devices didn't work, or at least I couldn't figure out how.
