> It seems like if you implement this on the client side, you end up using JavaScript and the client can just run code that patches the call to the server to have it always pass.

Not sure there's anything practical you can do about that. You're not going to be able to stop hackers figuring out a bypass. Your goal should be to make the license check bypass inconvenient enough that regular users would rather pay for a license (e.g. requires a new bypass each version upgrade).

That's how it works for any open source project you use, regardless of where it's been hosted. Unless you review the entire codebase (as well as all changes made in new releases), you're trusting the maintainers' judgement.

The vast majority of tech companies aren't built to scale either, and the entire VC model is built around the assumption that in a portfolio of 10 companies, 5-6 of them will fail as well.

I think "VC-backed startup" captures the thing Paul Graham is talking about, and I think the modifier "VC-backed" is particularly important because you want to follow the Graham playbook if you're VC-backed, but not otherwise.

Wow. How can Egyptians be so poor in their understanding of the Politics of Egypt. Time and again.

- Mubarak was America's best friend. American's public support for Egyptian democracy? Yeah, that's just for show.

- Who else was America's best friend? The Egyptian army. 90% of US aid goes to propping of the Egyptian military and has for decades (basically the army is in their pockets). America and IDF has had an excellent working relationship (ie help with killing Palestinians) with the Egyptian military for decades.

- Americans didn't like Morsi at all, Although overtly they claimed to support Egyptian democracy.

- Eventually Morsi, messes up. And guess who is there to save the day? Why its the Egyptian Army! Morsi tried to restrict democracy. Sisi will defend democracy by removing it entirely. Next thing you know the entire democratic elected cabinet is on death row and Mubarak is slowly but surely having his charges removed, while living under 'House arrest' in his comfy house.

- Who is now emperor of Egypt? Why its America's point man and best buddy for decades, Sisi (This is purely coincidence, wink wink ). America will very loudly suspend all aid to the dictatorship, only to very quietly resume it a year later.

>No, Slack isn't a world away from IRC or email - but it's enough better that people want to use it, that's good.

Move Slack into IRC's position, and Microsoft Teams into Slack's position, and you can see what Microsoft is trying to do. The problem with Slack is that right now, they're caught in the middle. They're not a consumer-facing company (at least, their profit model isn't consumer-facing), but, at the same time, they haven't invested in the boring schlep work (auditing, compliance, etc.) to make their product truly competitive to large enterprises. So they're stuck in this small-to-medium business space, while Microsoft is trying to vault ahead of them to capture the large enterprises.

From what I've seen, this is pretty much Microsoft's cloud strategy in a nutshell: take other companies' products, do the boring schlep work to add auditing, compliance, Active Directory Integration, etc. and then sell it to enterprises as a cloud service. This appears to be Azure's strategy against AWS, Office 365's strategy against Google Docs, Visual Studio Team Services' strategy against Github, and now, Microsoft Teams' strategy against Slack. It's a brilliant strategy that plays to Microsoft's strengths - knowing the needs of enterprise customers - while relying on the broader market to fill in for its weaknesses in discovering new products and doing UI design.
About the chips not being "optimal", say an Intel processor has 50M gates, to be placed in a 50M squares (all possible layouts). Then there would be factorial(50M) possibilities. If you could simulate each one every clock cycle, you would need 10^1000000000 seconds. The age of the universe is about 10^17 seconds. It is just not practical to omptimize the layout like that. And having all gates in blocks gets us very acceptable local optima anyways (gates inside a block tend to be more interconnected with each other most of the cases)

I know Azure has API Management https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/api-management/

It doesn't look like it has the built in monetization, but it should be fairly easy to smash a payment provider and API management together.
That's assuming that you require license validation with every request though, when in reality you really only need that information periodically. If you're using Keygen alongside your own API, then that information can be cached and requested when needed.

It would be integrated the same way you would integrate something like Stripe; you request information when required, and keep your own records up to date via webhook events.

For example, a desktop app would really only need to validate a users license after they have successfully logged in after booting the app; you likely wouldn't need to validate the license again for at least 24 hours, and that's assuming you wanted to perform periodic license validations for long-running sessions.
I wish that system fonts could be told the size of the characters of a web font upfront, before the web font was loaded. The system font's glyphs should smoothly fade/morph into the target webfont once it is loaded.

To solve the problem generally would be difficult or equivalent to the effort/data required to download the web font in the first place, but there may be a quick and dirty solution that covers 99% of text in the wild. The easiest case is monos paced fonts. Is there really an excuse why the system font can't be told via Css what spacing/height to use to match the target webfont?

2) Mubarak was also forced to resign by the same military council in February 2011 and the military council ruled until June 2012 when morsi was elected, it just wasn't called a "coup" and "military dictatorship" back then by the western media.
I believe the contrast was between the following.

Open browser, create new tab or focus url, enter url

Genuine. That is the one word that comes to mind if I was asked to summarize my experience as a student with Udacity over the past 16 months.

I have been working in the technology industry for several years now. If your goal is to work in the tech space, then it’s especially important to commit to lifelong learning. Working thru various Udacity courses has refreshed long dormant forgotten facts from university days. In addition, I have gained new skills and knowledge which to further build upon. But the one aspect I think I value the most is the interaction with the other Udacity students, project reviewers and Udacity instructors. Each person brings a unique composite of varying experience which has broadened my perspective. I realized I lived in a bubble and my bubble was very small. The bubble is still there today, but witnessing some of the transparency coming from Udacity has helped my bubble to grow.

Up front cost is a valid concern for a student. I applaud Udacity for keeping education available at zero cost. I can't even imagine the effort involved in behind the scenes to compose educational material for a global audience. Further, to make that material available on a global scale all while trying to balance a pertinent curriculum with changes in the fast-moving technology sector.

For the perspective student, I would advise caution when reading some of the marketing material from Udacity. I view it as "marketing speak". I personally find some of the "guarantee job" promo's distasteful. But I do not view it at the same level as say a typical twitter stream or a politician running for office promising everything under the sun if only "you elect me!".

I have had some negative experiences while enrolled with Udacity. I do recall having a beef during the rollout of the new classroom that occurred earlier this year. But that’s an execution aspect and executing at 100% is a tough bar to maintain. If only I maintained my New Year’s resolutions 100% of the time ;)

The one thing I can say, unequivocally, is the genuine sincerity of the people that work at and with Udacity. I do believe they sincerely care for a student’s success. Where that success bar lies are going to be unique for each person and as such, the road to that success will vary and of course change with time.

Mobile App Uninstall Rate:What’s Considered Good and Bad?
Definitely. I've seen implementations that require a login before the app is able to be used, but also others that simply have a flash message that kindly asks the user to login. If your app performs auto-updates, then you can also require a valid license before updating, which would be handled server-side somewhere.

In the end, it all depends on the product.

It's interesting to imagine adding something like this to an editors auto complete or as some kind of search function to automate functions you've coded a million times.

I.e. maybe you type: "repeat a function over a list python" in a special format and your editor pastes in the accepted answer from stackoverflow for you to choose whether that's acceptable / whether you want to use it as a template. Then maybe you could get into a better flow without ever having to stop what you're doing to Google something ... It would all just show up magically in your editor.

You could even have libraries of common answers written in such a way that you could write expected input and output formats and then get a code fragment that would fit that description. Something like a more organized test driven development. Though that would really only work for very specific things. Improve these ideas enough and make them more general - and maybe you could improve programmer productivity by quite a large margin.

Disclaimer: I know the OP was a joke but I see no problem with reusing code if you understand what its doing and the costs / trade-offs for doing so.
Build Your iOS/Android App Idea in 7 Days (Low Budget)
I've been going through challenging times and have been confronted with somethings I've never had to deal with before. There are a couple of things that trigger anxiety in me on a daily basis now. I wake up in the middle of the night with little anxiety episodes. I'm unfocused at work because of what feels like underlying emotional issues.

The only thing that's helped (I am trying to fix without medication) are the tools from HeartMath. Their "Transforming Stress" book has been a god send. It's not a get well fast type thing, but I've been practicing the sessions daily for a month now and am in much better control of my stress and anxiety.

I have practiced Tai Chi, meditation, and visualization via NLP techniques in the past. I'm not a novice when it comes to the types of techniques that HeartMath teaches. However, the way theirs are structured are the most effective I've found for dealing with these issues.

If you're going through hard times I highly recommend using their tools.

> they lost the ability to have wanted pregnancy

Right, but I suspect the parent implied that this could be a feature that many would seek out - basically the chemical equivalent of a vasectomy that can't be undone.

Some people, like me, really don't want kids. Taking control of it so that you're not relying on your partner is important as trust (that they haven't forgotten to use contraception or worse - deliberately not take it) isn't a rock-solid security policy. It's also not fair on females to be the only ones in charge of contraception for bare-skin sex.

This is a good point. I guess it depends on the characteristics of your application, and the level of control you want over verifying user activity within your application. Maybe you could only verify very important actions or something if that is all you need.
The Median Level of Founder Ownership at Exit
lol the headline doesn't clickbait hard enough. Some participants became sterile... that's a bit more serious than simply quitting because of some "side effects".
Vacations are wide and broad. Normally I try to cram so much traveling, visiting, sight seeing, partying and drinking/eating into my vacation that I'm more burned out when they are over then when I started them. I often joke that I need a vacation from my vacation. I also have this habit to book my flights as close to when my job ends/starts, like take a red-eye right after work and come back the day I start work again, going straight from airport to work.

Given that, I absolutely can believe meditation is better then vacation. But I'd have to wonder, if my vacation consisted of calmly driving to a Cabin in the forest and pleasantly sitting on the side of a lake reading or pondering or looking at the lake by myself for the whole vacation, would that still be worse then meditation? Or is this starting to count as meditating?
Smoking weed is not going to get you fired anywhere, except for the worst jobs in the worst places. Any place that does regular drug testing and/or cares one teeny tiny itsy bitsy bit about employees smoking weed when they're not working is guaranteed to be a terrible place to work at, for that and any number of other reasons. There is not a single reputable company in the entire tech industry that does this.
The bullshit corporate speak is astounding: "In the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, we added active hours and improved the control capabilities for our customers"

> The vast majority of tech companies aren't built to scale either, and the entire VC model is built around the assumption that in a portfolio of 10 companies, 5-6 of them will fail as well.

The latter isn't good evidence for the former. VC-backed startups are explicitly designed to either fail fast or grow quickly. So they simultaneously have a higher failure rate than standard small businesses and a higher rate of becoming $100M+ companies.

> I think "VC-backed startup" captures the thing Paul Graham is talking about

That's fine (and I agree that it's a more thorough definition), but I don't think it's useful to require a redefinition of a word that most people in the community already understand to mean high-growth VC-backed companies.

> You probably don't want to get me started on the growth and return potential of a consulting shop doing a regular 6 figures of revenue.

Honestly, I really really do. :) To be clear, I've had lots of success selling my time (either as a developer or, occasionally, managing a small team of contractors) but not at scaling myself.
To be more explicit, it is insane that we find it acceptable for text to reflow/ break over lines at different points once the web font is loaded.

You still have to pay for clinical trials in the US. If the drug can't be patented then no pharma group will pay for the trials if a generic can come along once trials complete and make just as much money.
Engineering with Empathy: how do we decide when to fix?
When US companies (and universities) can operate and profit by operating in other countries, like India. Why should we not allow employees from other countries (like India an China) to seek employment in US, if they can do the job better and at a competitive price point. Why should it be just a one sided gain model that always benefits US employees.
It's only at a discount if you have a naïve that there's a price it "should" be trading at "normally".

Trading individual stocks as a retail investor is a sucker's game.
Weird. The one comment suggesting that some participants probably see this as a feature is heavily downvoted, but the comments saying that this is shocking and awful are upvoted. I had no idea HN was so pro-birth.
It's a fairly nonsensical concept, though. There's always someone who's harmed, and someone else who benefits. Why focus in particular on current employees? What makes them so much more deserving than future employees (who are hurt by the visa), or current customers (who benefit)?
Is there any evidence that paying more for IT workers results in better quality of service?

It probably won't succeed to complain about this on the basis that the result might be poor, if the real problem is that outsourcing firms are abusing the H1B visa to reduce wages.
People worked really hard to be born in the US and expect to reap the advantages of it!
