Up until hitting the wall I've been pretty happy. I've worked on interesting problems, enjoyed the work, had good co-workers mostly, lot's of freedom, felt like I've had a positive impact, and grown a lot. I've been on the lookout for next opportunities essentially since I started but really haven't found something I've wanted to do more. It's just that at this point it's pretty clear there isn't a long future.
That's a great point. The thing is, I don't see them as getting serious about it. For example, quay.io provides better functionality around registry. Docker Hub is "good enough" and gets traction from the sheer fact that Docker runs it.

True enough on documentation. To be clear, you aren't supposed to join THIS game, it's a test network. You're supposed to either run an instance of this game yourself (and change parameters like the registration fee).

I'm also considering running an instance myself on the live network with different parameters (larger board, different fee).
Perhaps I should be more specific. He doesn't appear to demonstrate a high level of executive function disorder(ADHD properly named), Dyslexia, or Dyscalculia. He also doesn't appear to have any specific perceptual disorders and by the rate he reads texts, I'd imagine his verbal IQ to be at least 3 standard deviations above the mean.
Very often, marketing material and the language used for for that is a good indicator on whether a particular service knows their stuff, or if they appear to peddle fluff... :)

How CAs respond to issues on these mailing lists and in bugzilla is also pretty telling.

In this particular case, there's been concerns raised for several days. An extra vigilant web site operator who sees these discussions might perhaps come to the conclusion that it would be wise to evaluate switching CAs today, perhaps.

Yep, this is a very bad idea for the most part; these things already exist with private industry, so it's much easier for government to just allocate and distribute money, and let people buy things from existing providers instead of getting the government into the distribution of goods business. There's definitely room for more government regulation, especially with housing (that one's a mess, with all the foreign investors pumping up the realty prices; some simple laws should fix that), and also telecom (basically we need to copy whatever Europe's doing there).

It all depends what you're doing. For a weather station you could do very well and have very low power at one reading per minute. HTTP is great for that.

>That muddies the water by treating all adverts the same, when sometimes (like the t-bell example above) the celeb truly likes/uses the product.

But you admit this is irrelevant because you don't know if that person has any in-depth knowledge. Nor do you know/trust that person.

In your scenario that person is just a voice on a radio saying Trust me I love Tacobell and eat it all the time. Trust is an interpersonal social currency, gained via social interaction. If there is no prior social interaction between the advocator, and the person being advertised too... How can there be trust?

To answer the question of "why does it need to be disclosed" I'd say the line is primary purpose.

For the Kim instagram thing in the link - primary purpose is to promote the product. Therefore ad and disclosure required.

Red carpet - primary purpose is to be seen and increase their star power, product mention is secondary. No ad, no disclosure.

Product placement - House of Cards wasn't created to promote COD.

That said, policing intent is a blurry line and what about scenes in movies created JUST to promote a product (looking at you Adam Sandler).

I dunno. But primary purpose is the best line I can think of.
At this point in time the advantage of SV is not for the "angel" sized company, but for scale-up from the $1M to $1B range. (i.e. Y Combinator would not have a huge advantage in being there except for the fact that the next round of funding is available there)

So the experience of 99% of humanity ... on Mars. The "on Mars" part sounds better enough to sign up for.

I suppose there's an aspect of personal taste. I think Mars and the Moon are very beautiful. Imagine what a landscape photographer like Ansel Adams could have done if unleashed on the surface of the Moon...

Someday we'll have a colony up there and I think its important that before we start bulldozing and building a human settlement up there, we should have a real artistic landscape photographer run around for awhile.
The argument doesn't makes sense. When a normal citizen is choosing her internet provider they are not going to expend a lot of time looking at the implications of their decision. If the services is cheap enough and has the thing that they usually use then they are done. Competition can easy bring cheaper services but hardly can bring improving in long term needs.

That's why we have laws that forbid companies to pollute the environment, restrict child labor and the like. Consumers will choose the short term benefits for themselves over the long term benefits for the society.
And there's our little problem there in a nutshell: thinking that those are the only two choices, my ignorant assumptions and those of somebody else.

A viable solution to big CAs is to have all sites have their certs cross-signed by at least two different CAs. Then any single CA can be revoked without affecting any sites at all.

Note that this is also how a new CA is bootstrapped: initially the certs it issues are cross-signed by some existing CA so they work even in UAs that don't have the new CA in their trust root.

The obvious drawback is that now sites need certs signed by two CAs, and getting them to use even one CA is hard enough...

> >"Conflict of interest" in lawmaking is a concept which only applies to people to whom additional authority beyond that of citizen of granted to act as an agent of other citizens

> That's precisely what a voter is doing.

No, its not. A voter is voting on their own behalf as a citizen, and not graned additional authority beyond that of a citizen to act as an agent of other citizens.

> According to the Constitution, the citizen is sovereign.

One might, perhaps, argue "according to the philosophy to which some subset of the framers subscribed, and which motivated the Constitution, the citizen is sovereign", however, to argue as you do is absolutely without support; the Constitution does not mention sovereignty, and insofar as it expressly grants the traits associated with sovereignty to any entity, it does so to both the states and the federal government, but not anyone else.

> Therefore, when one votes, one is acting in a purely public capacity, completely separate from one's private interests as citizen.

Even if one accepted the preceding claim, this doesn't follow from it. Individual sovereigns (as opposed to sovereign republics) have no distinction between private and public interests; that's the key thing that distinguishes a Republic from a Monarchy, that in the former government is not a private function. So, the idea that Constitutional sovereign citizenship (if it existed in the first place) would imply that citizens had both "public" and "private" capacities that were distinct is completely incoherent -- if individuals are sovereign, their public sovereign capacity is exactly their private capacity.

> Even Congress recognizes this about itself

Congress is, rather obviously, a body of people who each exercise additional authority in government beyond that of a citizen-voter representing themselves, and who are instead empowered to act as agents representing the interests of other citizens. That's the whole point of Congress.

> it passed Amendment 27

No, Congress doesn't pass amendments. Congress proposes Amendments (Amendment 27 was one of the 12 initial amendments proposed as the bill of rights.)

"in language X" tells me, "I'm comfortable hacking in language X, I'm happy with the idea of using a product written in something I can hack". A pretty good reason, I think.
As for movies, I think it's about what makes a good plot rather than what expresses the common ideology. A benevolent AI-god won't exactly make for an exciting movie, nor will just basic progress. One could argue the same point about why crime is so popular in film - it's not an expression of ideology, it's a tool for plot.

I'm not sure I generally agree that technological progress helping people is deeply counter-cultural. People like to wallow in cynicism, but young people are super hopeful about the progress of science. I guess that's partially bias of whom I meet online, but it is well established.

Not that most are deeply interested in science or tech, but they sure do like professing love to it, scrolling through cute image macros about it online, and they're not afraid of using it when it's easy enough. Now they might not be the majority if we count old people in the US, I don't know, but if this is a counterculture then it's one that's huge, and growing.

However where I think our points tie together is how people think about politics. People sure love professing cynicism about politics as a way to relieve responsibility. We can make as much tech progress as we want, but no, we won't get better political institutions or more freedom. Impossible.

Unfortunately, tech people are just as guilty of this one.

> Yeah it wasn't pretty. Ireland was not allowed to default on its loans which was what they should have done.

The situation is more complicated than that (IANAL or etc.) The majority of people in Ireland, and the Irish government, had no desire for any kind of sovereign default, and the majority of the Irish bank debt had already been (foolishly) covered by the Irish state on its own initiative. There was still a significant residuum of subordinated bank debt which the Irish taxpayer was forced to bail out as part of the Troika package, though. (Allegedly this was mainly Timmy Geithner's doing, by the way.) The irony is that come 2016 the EU is now trying to prevent the Italian government from bailing out sub debtors in the Italian banks.

The other irony is that TFEU really doesn't prohibit member state IMF access or sovereign defaults at all. In fact it's basically set up to make sovereign default the only safety valve in the Euro area; it was generally understood as specifically prohibiting any form of EU or ECB "bailout" of EU sovereigns. It was only after the fact, when Greece and Ireland were headed for trouble, that the EU member state governments decided that they didn't like the idea of member state defaults after all, and began to interpose themselves between the IMF and those countries. It was only then that the Euro really became a fiscal/monetary/financial rat-trap with no adjustment mechanisms for struggling countries.

You're right, in that case. In the case of contractors invoicing is normal and legally acceptable. In the use case you mention here, contractors are appropriate and legal.

It is, however, illegal to pay employees like contractors. When you are hired to work full time for a start up you almost always meet the test of being an employee. The author of this article did. It IS therefore illegal to not give her a paystub or ask her to invoice.

This is generalizable to start ups. I've worked for start ups. Every time I was hired as an employee and treated as one. It would have been a red flag and illegal for them not to pay me as an employee.

Again, everything you're saying for the most part is true if you're talking about paying IC's. Where you are demonstrably wrong is assuming that you can treat start up employees as ICs You can't. Therefore doing what you're claiming is "normal" is actually illegal on many levels.

Seems simple enough, but money is changing hands throughout the production process. Apple and its suppliers' wages are taxed. What's left over is taxed when spent or invested for a return.

Given the leviathan tax systems out there, it's no wonder tax havens exist in the first place. Before judging this activity as unethical and shifting the tax avoidance to some other place though, governments really need to perform a cost-benefit analysis of their tax laws and make it clear to companies what's expected from them in return for access to their market.

Except the payment would be made by Apple to Ireland and not to the EU. And specifically Ireland can only use it to pay down their deficit. So they are kind of doing Ireland a favour here, Ireland get to claim the tax from Apple but by contesting the original ruling they can try to curry some favour with Apple to prevent them moving their business entirely from Ireland.
