I'm surprised at your negative take. The article you link is from 2014. They do encrypt chats now, and group chats, and voice, and video, all e2e, as far as I can tell.

My understanding is that the developers sit in Berlin, but the legal entity is in Switzerland.

Their privacy policy [1] states that they retain logs for 72h, and not much else. Only hashed contact info (emails/phone numbers) are uploaded, after opt-in. It all sounds very reasonable.

Your argument seems to be that they're an untrustworthy mess - but I don't see much evidence of that, except for possibly some braggadocio in that old article.

Charity.
Call me extreme but I find the whole idea that a government can do what it wants with collected fine money extremely disturbing. Unfortunately not many people question it these days but I think a lot more should.

The first problem with "free" fine money is that is makes the enforcement of some laws more important to the government than the enforcement of others.

The second problem is that it allows the government to protect such collection from much of the scrutiny and transparency requirements that e.g. taxes have to go through. For tax policy there are political parties and candidates to choose from and you can exercise your power as a voter. However I've not ever seen fine policy or rates being part of a political program. It's close to impossible as a citizen to have any influence on that.

The solution to this problem would be to establish a law under which a government must give all fine money straight to charitable causes (the composition of which citizens can democratically vote on).

You are basically looking for a hunter and not a BD or Sales Manager. This is why: The sales hunter will dive in to your current client base for a certain profile and will search a similar client profile in the US to sell the solution and co- create a product - market fit in a joint effort. An experienced hunter understands complex stakeholder landscapes, long sales cycles and how to create early adaptors for the solution. The hunter will try to shorten sales cycles and close deals quicker, since it's their driving motivator. After closing the first deals a BD further mature a value proposition and a sales manager will sell the mature value prop in a repetitive way.

Before it can be distributed and used, the blood gets screened and tested. We shouldn't be too worried about people lying having any impact on the quality or safety of the blood supply.

* Blood Donor Screening || http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/BloodBloodProducts...

> FDA has progressively strengthened the overlapping safeguards that protect patients from unsuitable blood and blood products. Blood donors are asked specific questions about risk factors that could affect the safety of the donation and are deferred from donation if risk factors are acknowledged. FDA also requires blood centers to maintain lists of unsuitable donors to prevent further donations from these individuals. After donation, the blood is tested for several infectious agents. All tests must be negative before the blood is suitable for transfusion. In addition to these safeguards, FDA has significantly increased its oversight of the blood industry. The agency inspects all blood facilities at least every two years, and "problem" facilities are inspected more often. Blood establishments are now held to quality standards comparable to those expected of pharmaceutical manufacturers.

I have built a tent for my hands and laptop keyboard that works well for me in cooler rooms.

It sounds like room temperature doesn't impact you you, Filthy_casual, much, so I'm not sure how much this will help you. I am posting mainly for others that may be curious.

I've built these tents out of a number of things, but most commonly it's a t-shirt with 2 coffee mugs on either side to prop it a little. Janky? yes. Effective for me? yes.

I dislike typing with gloves, as my accuracy drops quite a bit. Fingerless gloves don't keep my hands warm. I dislike heating the air in a large room to heat my hands, and I have annoying preference for symmetry on my body that is hard to achieve without two heaters.
Mind you, we're talking about "sanity checks" here, not actions: presumably these are XHR GETs.

In HTTP-semantic terms, you're always allowed to retry GETs, and they're always supposed to be idempotent (or not change state at all, but that's a lost battle.)

There's no reason that the browser shouldn't default to automatically retrying (with back-off) GET XHRs, save for how many sites are built without a proper understanding of HTTP semantics.

> Almost every driver goes 5-10 miles above the speed limit on the highway

That's really only the case in states that have kept their NMSL (National Maximum Speed Limit) era laws on the books. In states that have speed limits 75 mph or above, you're not going to find traffic flowing at 85 to 90 mph. Conversely, in states where they still have large sections of highways still posted at 55 mph, you will routinely see traffic flowing at 70 to 80 mph.

> and 0-5 miles above everywhere else.

I have seen plenty of instances where people drive at 35 to 40 mph in 25 mph zones. These are roadways that were formerly posted at 35 mph, but the town, for some odd reason decided to reduce the speed limit to 25 mph.
I don't care if Jesus, director of grammar in heaven said this....

Well if it's the leverage that's the problem, then we have a problem. Google and Apple are exerting the leverage of a monopoly (30% revenue tax) despite each not having a monopoly according to the classic definition, at least. It doesn't matter if each have 45% market or one has 90% if they're allowed to behave as if they each have 100%.
So why is it so bad to have rich people relocate to your country?
Showing that people are willing to pay a price does not make it equitable. You have to account for power dynamics and market conditions. I believe the original question was whether there was a relatively even or fair split of 'profits' from the current setup. One could make a case for this being even, and also for it being somehow relational to investment (blood from the giver, r&d + logistics from the receiver). Your 'answer' glosses over all that.

It's not a "natural monopoly" when it is created by restrictive policies attached to another product; that's textbook monopolization by leveraging market power in one market to monoplize a different market which, as you note, is an antitrust violation.
It's explicitly designed for people who get into YC: you get 2.5 years to prove your startup can make it to the next stage, the 2.5 more years to turn it into a real business (after which there are far more options like K-1, O-1, and various E investor visas). Depending on the situation it might be a formality... if your startup has grown to medium size with 100 employees and $20m revenue my guess is DHS will find any excuse to give you general public-benefit parole or an O-1.

You are also free to apply for other visas while in the US without affecting your parole.

I've had this happen on a cell phone modem! My (large) image uploads to an online flow-chart saas started failing. Open up the chrome dev tools, turns out they all failed at exactly 20.0 seconds -- obviously a timeout issue. I had a maddening support experience in which the support tech kept insisting that he couldn't reproduce the problem from his (high bandwidth) end. I asked him to please just ask an engineer to raise the 20 second timeout, but he stone-walled me. So frustrating.

>There are also great libraries just like any popular language.

Mind naming some ? I work on Angular 2, React and TS front end in my day job - those libraries are a joke compared to similar libraries in other languages. For example Angular 2 Dart is a huge productivity improvement - having done a prototype with ng2 Dart and implemented a full app in TS having a language with sane semantics, actual standard library and a build system built by someone who knows what they are trying to do vs someone who hacked something themselves and everyone kept piling on. React compared to something like Clojure + Reagent is a similar comparison although CLJS tooling is much less mature than Dart - just dealing with immutability in JS/TS is so tedious and full of boilerplate.

Just recently I had to find a library that will let me pattern match URLs and extract parameters (eg. 'foo/:a/:b(?foo=:c&bar=:d)' => {'a':..., 'b':..., 'c':..., 'd':...}) - and every option out there failed to work with anything beyond basics and the implementations were horrible - and this is JS core competency.

Perhaps, and all I have is anecdotal experience, but having spent most of the last year traveling around Southeast Asia, I was stunned by how much better their wireless service was. For $10-$15/mo, I was getting more data, at faster speeds and with less latency than I get here in the US for roughly 3x the cost. The coverage was also pretty excellent.

I have no doubt that certain countries (probably in Africa) may be worse, but I think it's a mistake to look at the third world the way you're portraying it. In many cases, they're not deprived or years-behind in the way you've described. In many cases, they're significantly ahead of us.

I would love to know more about this, but I'm completely ignorant about the process. I've put a couple thousand dollars into these specific models of HDD which have all failed within three years of purchase (including the replacement drives which failed during the warranty period). I am really tired of joining class action suits only to find that I get a check for a couple bucks afterwards. Especially because I've lost thousands of dollars in these cases (e.g. Bank of America), and getting a five or ten dollar check is just completely demoralizing. I would be willing to spend out of pocket to sue on my own (within reason), but I have no idea how to start that process or where to go to even research it. Do you know what kind of lawyer should I contact?
This is not about donating blood to the Red Cross, this is about the plasma donation industry, which is only for-profit in the US and supplies much of the world. Only a few companies operate in this space, I've studied it closely. Baxalta runs a big chain, BioLife, as does CSL.

If we accept that selling organs is prohibited and unethical then we should also accept the same for selling plasma.

Open source is a red herring, as you say. Closed binary is the problem.

I need a way to verify that binary I am installing is the same as the binary that has been thoroughly vetted by security researches. In the modern mobile app ecosystem, on a major OS, running a major app, I can't carefully pick and choose which binary version to install. I get whatever the OS company's server pushes to me, and I can't downgrade to a known good version.

Ok, that's the immigration side. What is the tax status of people admitted under this rule? IIRC, only F and J visas are exempt from becoming American taxpayers

Being an American taxpayer is fine and dandy if you never plan to live outside the us again; but if you aren't, it's a very expensive and labour intensive deal; your home country bank will fire you as a customer because of FATCA, the reporting requirements to the us are insane (FBAR and every single foreign transaction needs to be reported), and your e.g. Pension savings and other holdings likely become a losing proposition because they are PFICs.

Most people ignore these issues, but almost everyone is liable under the us tax code, and especially with the just announced sharing of NSA data with the IRS, it will all be legally documented for the IRS to pursue.

To take a different perspective, calling them separate languages helps reinforce a nationalist agenda. It gives your citizenry another reason to feel separate from, and maybe superior to, other nations. Calling Spanish and Portuguese separate languages, instead of two Iberian dialects of modern Latin, helps reinforce the idea that Spain and Portugal are separate nations, and not just different regions of the same peninsula.
> That depends on whether or not you consider those things to be rights,

I think those things were chosen precisely because they are guaranteed by the same document (and in the case of newspapers, the very same amendment) as was under discussion.
It's not about language quality, it's about barriers to entry.
You not only have to be "better" than JS (which I guess means some combination of performant and pleasing to code), but you have to do so to such a degree that it's worth losing access to/reimplementing the existing libraries, not to mention getting multiple browsers to implement AND getting everyone to install the newer versions of said browsers (not as bad as it was, but still an issue).

I currently do JS for a living, and I don't hate it, but most of the reasons to DO javascript coding have nothing to do with quality of language and instead have to do with how unlikely a viable competitor is to come about anytime soon.

If I understand correctly, you're wanting to implement Keygen into an on-premise infra app that you would be selling? If so, that's definitely the sort of thing Keygen was designed for, even giving you the ability to lock down licenses to specific machines.

Still trying to figure pricing/costs as the beta progresses (let me know if you'd like an invite), but the hosted SaaS will likely start out at ~$29/mo for the smallest plan (single product), increasing with product/user/license volume. On-premise plans (self-hosted) will be solely based on volume and required support levels.
