Interesting. I'm registered in 3 states (I always kinda assumed registering in a new state unregistered you in another) and my wife is registered in 2. I wonder if my name is on that list. Damn even the criteria they use doesn't technically have to be unique; it's possible to have the same name, DOB and last 4 digits of a SSN (though that's likely incredibly rare but still the possibility is theoretically there).

Actually Reddit is great for this since they have many different topics, but I focused first on improving HN's version since that's the site I use most (it's still an alpha/dev version but wanted some feedback from HN).

Definitely harming the HN community is something that has been mentioned several times which I didn't consider because of what I mentioned above, so I will take that into account when I publish the final version. I don't want to change/harm the community at all, just so other people can read the awesome comments that happen here.

>Moral authority doesn't come into it. The key questions are: "Does China care about rules?" And: "What do China's actions here say about how it will act in other circumstances?"

Well the answers are clearly: "No" and "A lot" respectively. If you think the world needs the US of all countries to trumpet that fact, you're delusional. The problem there is that they see how we act too, and they're probably not so dim that they can't appreciate why we get off on pointing fingers at "bad guys".

This just in: We're the bad guys too... we're all pretty bad guys in direct proportion to the power we wield, and in inverse proportion to our accountability. China, Russia, the US... lots of power, virtually no accountability.

Of course, today's politicians would never allow any of this to happen, so the problem is still somehow the politician.

Just to throw in another option, there's selenium grid docker containers: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium. The containers are a bit heavy IMHO (I suppose because they're aimed more at 'testing' instead of scraping), but I think there are a few Alpine Linux versions floating around (and easy enough to set up yourself).

Handy for more tricky sorts of web scraping, or if you want to use chromium in mobile emulation mode (causing websites with an 'app version' to switch over to a HTTP-JSON SPA in many cases). I was particularly excited to discover you can set the 'http_proxy' env variable on a "per-browser node" basis (and do fun stuff like installing DNS caching daemons, round-robinning through OpenVPN/squid containers etc.).

There is the Outer Space Treaty [1]:

> The treaty explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet.[3] Art. II of the Treaty states that "outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means". However, the State that launches a space object retains jurisdiction and control over that object.[4] The State is also liable for damages caused by their space object.[5]

I assume "other celestial bodies" would include other planets.

> Why did these other governments let FB & friends in?

This is ridiculous. They simply wanted the benefits of having Facebook and the rest of the internet in their countries. In many SE Asian countries that surround China (like Myanmar, Cambodia, and even Vietnam), the internet is even synonymous Facebook and Google. Other countries lack enough scale to get that advantage, unless they decided to go with the Chinese social stack, which they would never do due to mistrust of the Chinese.

The only countries that block Facebook ATM are Iran, Bangladesh, North Korea, and China. A lot can be said about the common natures of these countries' governments, and why the blocking occurs (well, at least Iran and Bangladesh are kind of democracies). It is never about protecting their citizens' information! Instead it is about controlling communication among their citizens. They don't care about their citizen's privacy.

There is no vote-selling happening here. No money or anything of value is changing hands. People are promising, and expecting the other to make good on the promise, to exchange votes. This is an exercising of one's right to free speech and engage in the voting process, and was declared protected by the First Amendment in Porter v. Bowen.

Edit: Porter v. Bowen was a federal Appeals Court ruling, so it isn't a SCOTUS-level, nationwide decision. But it certainly establishes precedent, and could potentially be used by those who wish to challenge any state laws that expressly prohibit vote-swapping as a restriction of their First Amendment rights.
Capital is a liability (something you owe to investors). Cash is an asset.

When you receive capital in the form of cash, you debit your assets (cash) and credit your liabilities for the same amount (capital). It's "double-entry" accounting, total debits should equal total credits for every entry so that it balances out.

How does an individual or a consultancy go about finding these messes to be cleaned up? I feel reasonably-qualified to go in and take the necessary steps to get engineering projects back on track, but I'm not sure how you would get started doing that?
My experience parallels yours. I was wound pretty tight, tried to do way too much, and burned myself out.

I did it a couple of times and always came back.

I started as programmer in school, but decided you don't need to study it. It's easier to learn it by your own. Then I became architect, but mostly automated my problems and solutions. After architecture became tiring, without enough pay, I went to more engineering jobs.

Survey, civil engineering, city planning and finally stage design and film.
This was all fun and got well paid, but I ended up as director of SW development soon after. After this was not fun anymore I went into hard core engineering, Formula 1 HW/SW simulation and support, but in the end I did more SW development than HW support. HW is always tricky and unreliable. SW is much more logical and reliable, much easier to analyze. And you are not that dependent on others. In SW it's easy to solve everything by yourself on 10x less time than waiting a year for someone else to approve something or until this piece is replaced.

So I went to full time SW work again, even if I still do work a lot on movies also. This is just for fun, helping out, going to festivals and such.

We could have gone the slightly-less-compatible route with CP/M-86. Network effects would make the industry gravitate towards a standard platform, but not necessarily a company.

That depends on how you define "the same result". The assumed (in some cultures) moral superiority of the suicide bomber regardless of the legitimacy of the target can have considerable PR value. In a way that somewhat resembles a ponzi scheme, those at the very top may reap higher rewards, and so choose to elevate the tactic into a strategy.

This is definitively legal. The Ninth Circuit ruled so in 2007. You're making a strong claim, and you cannot back this claim up at all.

Vote-swapping is not a new thing. There's even case law that supports it as a clear exercise of one's First Amendment rights. See Porter v. Bowen. You might not like it, but that has no bearing on its legality.
