Musk doesn't primarily raise capital by selling prospects of eventual dividend. He openly doesn't care at all about profitability, he only cares about the oft-stated SpaceX/Tesla goals, and is pretty much willing to take any money and opportunity that comes his way, be it public rounds or government support. Musk raises capital by selling the prospect of the achievement of his stated goals. Part of the investors care about Musk's goals, and another part invest in Musk because they think that other people caring about Musk's goals sets Tesla's market value.
"""If fascism could be defeated in debate, I assure you that it would never have happened, neither in Germany, nor in Italy, nor anywhere else. Those who recognised its threat at the time and tried to stop it were, I assume, also called “a mob”. Regrettably too many “fair-minded” people didn’t either try, or want to stop it, and, as I witnessed myself during the war, accommodated themselves when it took over … People who witnessed fascism at its height are dying out, but the ideology is still here, and its apologists are working hard at a comeback. Past experience should teach us that fascism must be stopped before it takes hold again of too many minds, and becomes useful once again to some powerful interests""" <--- Franz Frison, Holocaust survivor
Great list. Thank you!
What's more important is toolsets that make porting easy or trivial. A lot of Unity projects are very easy to build for a linux target. The Humble Bundle often has linux games (though less-so than when they started).
It's all the same on the inside anyway.
UI/UX work is fun, for the right personality. But it tends to be under-appreciated and it's often a ton of small things rather than big things you can point to. So maybe steady employment is more conducive to this work than the night-time obsessions and consulting work that typically fuel FOSS.

This is why corruption/politicians being bought by corporations is such a big deal, that affects everyone and everything. Lessig is right when he says it's the "root cause" of all the big problems in the U.S. It's not just a "single issue," as Hillary Clinton, likely the next president of the U.S., and who has also benefited greatly from this type of corruption, said during the Democratic Primary (as an "attack" against Sanders) - it's all the issues.

Think coal/oil lobby influencing/delaying climate change strategies , military industrial complex influencing national security strategies for more wars (and thus spreading terrorism and making Americans less secure), and even the copyright lobby buying politicians to pass laws that make it a crime to tinker with your device, or make people pay $150,000 for copying a song, and so on.

The U.S. really needs to figure out how to get this corrupting influence out of politics, or it's only going to get worse for its citizens, as even more special interests try to screw people over, or they get even more aggressive and shameless about it.

It would help if Linux games actually worked on Linux, instead of only on single version of Ubuntu that's usually a few years out of date, and you have to have libraries X, Y and Z installed, only it won't tell you this, so have to trawl through various support forums. And god help you if you're running something truly bizarre, like Debian.

I usually have more success running the Windows version through Wine than I do running the Linux version. I wish I was joking.

We have built appbrain and launched a bunch of apps with more than 100M+ installs: http://www.appbrain.com/dev/AppTornado
Our experience is that you need to generate at least a couple of thousand (better, tens of thousands) of installs by yourself before Google's discovery mechanisms kick in and allow your app to be discovered withing Google Play.
Cross promotion is a good tool for that, but if you don't have apps yet, then you have to find other ways (paid cost-per-install promotion is a commonly used tactic).
Just as a point of fact, farmers have huge political power. Look at farm subsidies, look at Ethanol mandates.

To be more accurate, I would say the number of farmers that want to work with code/electronics to fix tractors is a small subset of "farmers." Try cutting a farming subsidy and you'll quickly see how powerful farmers really are.

Ted Cruz was the only candidate who dared challenge Ethanol mandates -- while campaigning in Iowa. Most political pundits considered that suicide. He won Iowa despite that, but it does show that farmers actually have disproportional power in national politics. However, the "hack my tractor" crowd is not necessarily exercising that power. Perhaps in the 2020 election, this will become a marquee issue (as ethanol has been in elections past.)

The term 'overdue' is used because, as earlier posters explained, the probability of an earthquake actually increases the longer that it doesn't happen. But it comes to hurricanes, I suppose the probability of them occurring does not increase if they don't happen (or we just don't know), and that's why we (generally) don't use the term overdue.

The human race is comprised of horrible people, any website that accepts user contributions will attract contributions from horrible people. As a service owner you have a decision; either you say that everyone's opinion is valid, horrible and all, or you say no; these are the rules around what you can post and anything outside those boundaries is subject to removal.

What you absolutely should _not_ do is build a brand around being in the first category and then transition to the second. Especially if all your content is user contributed.

Of course, no one thinks of themselves or their in-group as horrible. You could substitute horrible for flawed if it makes you feel better.
True. Some like Shit Reddit Says can get away with open brigading against other subreddits they don't like. There are cases where a post has a few hundred votes, gets linked there and ends up with a score in the minus hundreds range.

And a few other subs seem like doxxing people they disagree with, usually with the depressing common assumption that there's 'no bad actions, only targets'.

It appears that this adventure happened ~6-7 years ago. Folks bent the rules for him, but its not like their bosses haven't ALSO done the exact same thing (and probably more so) throughout their careers. I seriously doubt anyone is getting "in trouble".

What you are experiencing now with the wait is nothing compared to what poor people would have to endure in the system you advocate.

First, you do realize that not everyone that goes into the hospital today comes back out alive, right? There are a lot of things medicine can't yet cure - today - for any price.

Second, if you block high-priced medical advances, you are also blocking the low-priced ones that inevitably follow in a free market.

Just as UNIX workstations sold for tens of thousands in the early 1990s, and were supplanted by desktop computers costing a tenth as much in the following decade, expensive medical technology would become cheap quickly under freedom.

We haven't seen this happen with most of medicine because of the controls placed on it. For example, I learned (via this thread) of a new machine that administers anesthesia. Its use would make my biopsy $1800 cheaper, in addition to reducing my wait time (you can't have an endoscopy without general anesthesia): https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/new-machine-...

This device was ready to go six years ago, but the FDA rejected it initially (under pressure from anesthesiologists). Three years later, after much foot-dragging, it finally approved it. And yet today it's not available in most places because the American Society of Anesthesiologists lobbied hard for a "narrow indication" and "restrictive guidelines."

Note that it's not up me or my doctor as to whether or not I might opt-in to this. Nor is it even a choice that can be made by any of the local hospitals around me (I would shop around if it would help, believe me!) What happened here is a direct and inevitable consequence of regulatory control over which innovations are permitted to enter medical use. (The only tool the government has in regulatory matters is more regulation or less. Therefore there is no way to prevent regulatory capture in a mixed economy except to steadily de-control it.)

What good is it to me that the device has been vetted more? Every minute I wait allows my condition to worsen, increasing my risk of death.

The facts I've outlined here are not just some "neoliberal ideology" intended to offend you. This is a thing that I (and hundreds of thousands of other people like me) need desperately. All I'm advocating for is a society that recognizes the life-saving role of freedom in medicine. And I'm advocating for that only because nothing else could possibly work.

You can't just throw your hands up in the air and say "to heck with early adopters, they shouldn't be allowed to pay more to be a year ahead!" If the government forced all the tech companies to do that, tech would be about as slow to improve as medicine currently is. This is because there would be no money put into the right hands (and it is a constantly changing group of people and organizations), at the right time to make the technology steadily improve.

I think something really important that doesn't get discussed very often when "free speech" comes up is that there really are categories of speech which most reasonable people expect and perhaps even prefer would not be 'protected'

In a sense it always comes up. Without sticking my neck out to say what reddit should or shouldn't allow, I simply want to point out that principled positions only count when they're uncomfortable to uphold. We wouldn't be having a conversation about free speech in the first place unless the conversation has already turned to the topic of sweeping away uncomfortable speech.

If someone wanted to make a convincing argument about speech which should be 'unprotected' there has to be a conflicting principle, or it's just lip service to the idea of "free speech" (because it's generally recognized as virtuous and they don't want to be seen as opposing it). "Fighting words" are unprotected in so far as they represent incitement to an immediate breach of the peace. Other principles raised to carve out exceptions to free speech should be similar in the obviousness that it's categorically not about suppressing ideas.

We have gone from Mandrill to Sendgrid and back to Mandrill.

We switched over to sendgrid after being pissed of with Mandrill due to their sudden change but switching to sendgrid was a bad decision in hindsight. Mandrill was rock solid and we never had issues. Sendgrid continues to have deliverability issues every once in a while and not to mention the blacklisting of their shared IPs (which I understand is a common problem with all providers but never happened with Mandrill for our business).

We have switched back to Mandrill (yes, got a paying mailchimp account just to use mandrill).

Not only sendgrid's UI is confusing, they don't even show the actual email content in their dashboard.
"It's the ability to take the law and regulations lightly, when they're not that serious, and be humane about it."

I agree that laws should be tempered by common sense, and each case judged taking into account context, but in a country with a serious state of law, those that are not serious or unfair should be changed, not "taken lightly".

The moment you assume laws are not rules but "suggestions", and open to subjective interpretation, it's very easy for some people to find justifications for everything (classic example: taxes are not fair, so I'll just evade them).
Example HTML output in a user's profile:

Would you like to contact ${NAME}?

Where ${NAME} is a user supplied parameter (you ask them what their name is)

Let's say I entered my name as: <script>/evil code/</script>

Now, if the output isn't escaped the page reads:

Would you like to contact <script>/evil code/</script>?

You've just injected evil code into the website that will be executed every time my user profile page is visited by another user.

Violence is never an appropriate response to speech. I don't care what the Nazis are saying, if you use violence to silence them, you are the problem, and I will support their free speech rights. Free speech is not simply for ideas you like, it's for ideas you hate, too.

Well look who's pirating now. Maybe someone should throw you in jail.
The argument boils down to "more code, more bugs" so large frameworks are less trustworthy than small libraries.

Of course on the other end these popular large frameworks often have a lot more maintainers (sometimes even more maintainers per line of code) than the smaller libraries frequently only maintained by one or two people. And there are of course synergies (yes I'm using that word unironically) when all the code lives in a single ecosystem rather than being based on a unique combination of purpose-built libraries.

Having used both Django and Flask, and various front-end frameworks and libraries, I can see the appeal of both sides of the argument. In the end I haven't found either argument to be bullet-proof though. Everything is always a trade-off.
That's misleading. In neither Italy nor Germany did the fascists seize power without using violence. In Germany, the SA was used by the Nazis to suppress their opponents in elections and intimidate the powers that be. Even then, they only won like 40% of the vote and had to manufacture a crisis to seize full control. Similar in Italy.

I don't see this showing up in consumer parts soon. It seems Nvidia can squeeze out GDDR5(X) outside of the HPC space for this generation. Which is good for cost but also reduces the risk in terms of reliability of throwing lots of new technology into a single product.

HPC obviously has different requirement but Nvidia can work with interrogators and customers with less of a backlash when fixing issues in this segment.

Same here. Had a chat with the support team and they say they had to allocate a number of new IPs, since some of their existing IPs were blacklisted. Now they need to warm up the new ones first, which may take an undefined amount of time.

One practical concern I have for this is that you're going to need bigger triangles to avoid things bumping into eachother around the triangle.

Yep. Exactly. There's something to be said for a little wiggle room outside of "the rules".

And for what it worth, he was "detained" (in a way) and had to pay a steep fine of $500, and had to face some significant stressful (and interesting) uncertainty.
