I feel like MPL2 does that just as well, but by adding a file-level firewall ensures that it will gain adoption among people/organizations who need to be able to distribute it in a binary along with other code that has another license.

This way people still add features and upstream bugfixes, but a) it doesn't get forked to hell like the 200 Linux kernels that each Android manufacturer has to publish and b) you get much wider adoption faster, with more people being paid to fix bugs and add features to your code because it is being used alongside proprietary code.

Sure, it doesn't give you a nice stick-it-to-the-corporations dose of righteous satisfaction, but it feels to me far more pragmatic, and healthy for the project in the long run.

I don't think it is as fragmented as you explain it to be. There has been a broad agreement that the principles of the New Deal work; they have worked before and they would work now. However, there has been a deliberate effort by (a few) of the ultra-rich to subvert New Deal policies and this has been done through the creation and continued funding of institutions dedicated to what Krugman calls "movement conservatism". I would suggest 2 books: "Dark Money" and "Conscience of a Liberal" to get a better idea of the world that we operate in right now.

Ask HN: Are there any startups willing to use the ASP.NET Core technology?
Recently, Microsoft has been showing more openness with regards to their products by open sourcing asp.net core and the coreclr runtime for example.

I would like to know if there are actual startups that are using or considering to use these technologies to build their product and services, especially in the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area?

If yes how do you manage (or plan to manage) the risks associated with these relatively immature technologies?

If not what are the reasons for a startup to stay away from .NET CORE?

The natural concentration of the weird high molecular weight fluorine compounds is exactly zero, whereas cyanide compounds are natural and show up in small amounts in many fruit seeds, a couple nuts, some root vegetables.

Its not physically possible to eat enough apple seeds to get sick, but if you industrially concentrate cyanide by a factor of a hundred thousand or so because its so nifty at plating metals and stuff, then that purified form will kill you.

Its kinda like ethanol, your liver knows exactly what to do with it in small rare amounts, and out in the wilderness its extremely hard to die of ethanol poisoning from eating too many over ripe berries, or at least you'd have to try really hard for a long time, but given some industrial processing assistance its been possible for humans to die of ethanol poisoning for the last couple thousand years. Very few alcoholics drank themselves to death in 50000 BC, likewise no human died of cyanide poisoning until the 1800s AFAIK.

Unlike cyanides your liver has no idea what to do with the fluorine compounds given that a human liver had never seen one until 1930s, so naturally a little can really mess you up.

Twitter might be the up-to-date equivalent. Trump uses it better (more effectively for his purposes) than any other politician. In particular, his opponents don't respond in tweets, and so they are stuck with the speed of the regular news cycle - hours, not minutes. So Trump is always ahead of them.

Using Forms in React-Redux: Tips and Tricks
According to law, H1-B Visas are only for those jobs which cannot be filled by Americans, that is no American has the skill to perform them. The law has been greatly abused, but that is in fact the law.

I find it really, really hard to believe that there are 85,000 jobs per year (the H1-B Visa limit) that cannot possibly done by Americans.

As I have pointed out the issue is that firms do not want to pay prevailing wages for IT people so they back reforms that allows the import of lower-wage labor. (Former Republican) Candidate Rubio cared not for his Florida constituents, 250 IT workers who lost jobs from being displaced by low-wage immigrants and instead took $2 million from Disney and wanted to increase the H1-B Visa limit to 250,000 from 85,000.

Trump was backing the 250 workers who lost their jobs to H1-B Visa abuse and wants Disney to give them their jobs back.

Many of the elites who want to pay less money for IT work backed candidates who wanted to depress IT wages and make more Americans unemployed. Hilary and all of the Republican candidates were for this. Only Sanders and Trump spoke out against this.

Hilary and others called Trump racist, etc. but they never addressed the fundamental issue which is not exporting American jobs overseas and not importing labor to depress wages and cause unemployment among Americans.

Trying to guess at whether a film made money or not is a very murky science. Reported budgets are rarely accurate and do not include interest on loads taken to fund the production, or marketing costs (can be 50% of the production budget again for a global blockbuster release). These costs are offset by subsidies and tax breaks from filming or posting in certain locations, and from product placement and licensing deals - licensing alone can entirely cover the cost of main production for some big "event" movies.

Then, as others have said, the theatre takes a cut, then the distributor takes a cut, and so in the end a movie that takes twice its budget at the box office may still be in the red as far as the production company is concerned.

This is all made even more opaque by all the accounting trickery to minimize tax exposure and make sure that the studio has to pay "points" (contractually agreed percentage of profit/revenue after some break-even) to as few people as possible.

What does this have to do with anything? We're talking about resource wars. You can kidnap talent. Look at the origin of the term "shanghaied" and the British impressing American seamen.

You're not getting the point. Most nations can do without talent. Talent is willing to cross borders, depending on who's winning.

What nations cannot do without is food, minerals and water. Those are definitely zero sum games. Unless you're able to defend your goods with force or there is an abundance of them, they will be taken away from you.

The holographic principle proposes a much more complex relationship between the 3 dimensional (plus 1 time dimension) universe we experience and a 2 dimensional (plus 1 time dimension) model that could provide insights into many interesting areas of physics including QFT, Cosmology, Black Holes, etc.

There is a very well developed model of how this relationship could work in a simpler case. I suggest you have a look at this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdS/CFT_correspondence

Hopefully this mathematical model will convince you that the holographic principle is, at the very least, more mature than a minion meme.

Production cost is a problem, and technology has made it worse. Look at that long, long list of animators and technicians at the end of any effects-heavy film today. A cast of thousands.

I predict the hordes of animators and motion capture will be going away for all but the biggest productions within a decade.

Check this out:

http://www.goatstream.com/research/thesis/index.html

If you can combine this with more detailed physics simulations of the entire world, that will drastically cut down the amount of animation required.

This, combined with being able to easily capture objects and environments in 3-D via scanning it from a video file (SLAM[1], basically), and add in some basic mo-cap in-world via VR controllers. We can have much higher quality productions with Reboot-level (or machinima) levels of staffing.

Someone (not me!) needs to start putting this all together in an easy-to-use package.

A Quantitative Prediction for Political Violence in the 2020s

Your misunderstanding starts where you're considering the linked article a "primary source". Even though it's at harvard.edu, it's not a peer-reviewed "primary source".

Given that the absence of evidence does not constitute evidence of absence, the conclusion and causation you imply with "given that" is wrong.

You're also awfully quick to call stuff you don't understand "bullshit".
Asimov introduced the concept of "psychohistory" in his Foundations series [1]. Psychohistory "combines history, sociology, and mathematical statistics to make general predictions about the future behavior of very large groups of people" [1]

Almost a decade ago I heard about a researcher who took up the gauntlet of developing psychohistory. His name is Peter Turchin. Because there was an established academic field already named psychohistory [2], he named his field of study "Cliodynamics" [3].

When I first heard about Dr. Turchin, he had recently made a prediction that we were likely to see political violence in the 2020s [4, 5].

In this current blog entry he talks about factors that are likely to influence whether there is or is not political violence in the next few years.

Some feedback from poking around the demo a bit (on Desktop):

* It has a lot of whitespace, to the point that it forces a lot of scrolling. The "front page" with the list of existing boards is particularly bad, with only 4 cards fitting on my 1080p screen, where a typical phpBB fits 10 or more. And the layout of the cards is still quite busy, with 5 text styles close to each other. Your demo hasn't got any posts with long texts, so it is hard to judge how big an issue this is in the threads themselves. Still, on a desktop you have the space to the side, maybe put the name besides the post instead of on top?

* A lot of elements have dynamic positions (e.g. the date, the author) which makes it quite hard to quickly scan the overviews for them.

* Image support? Something a lot of forums have issues with, which leads to various hacks, images not visible to visitors, and often broken images from external hosts. This is an area where you easily can be better than many existing boards.
The use-cases that I see between something like Trello and Paper seem quite different. I'm using Paper so far to create an itinerary for an upcoming trip. It seems to be working quite well thus far. Displays on mobile nicely. Image layouts seem to be a bit clunky, but, to their credit doing it nicely is no easy task.

I would never use Trello for something like that.

At least Sync can be self hosted https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver and is there any open standard for that kind of syncing?

I'm about to self host sync myself so I'm interested in your claim about it being insecure. I won't sync passwords or form fields, because I don't store them in the browser. Only browsing history and maybe tabs, but for sure I don't want to send all my desktop tabs to my phone. Most of them won't make any sense there.
A cloud hosted database is accurate, but doesn't really describe it well. Amazon, Heroku and others also provide cloud hosted PostgreSQL, which is a very different use case.

Parse was a:

* cloud hosted nosql database,

* with client libraries for mobile platforms,

* direct write access from mobile apps, without hosting your own API backend in the middle, and

* some methods of securing this direct write access from untrusted clients.
> I feel that we're in a post-revolutionary phase of open source

It seems increasingly clear to me that this is true, albeit in the sense that the revolutionary aims of the FOSS movement (if we can genuinely lump things together) have been for the most part utterly defeated, and the handful of people who are sincerely concerned about them are now engaged in a tattered and obviously doomed rear-guard action.

Open source as an engineering approach is doing fine, of course: Its practical benefits turn out to provide a great deal of leverage for centralizing and consolidating power.

It's how you've forced your body to behave after years of staying up too late and drinking coffee too late and drinking alcohol and not caring about sleep. It's not normal. It's not "how you are". You're not "totally fine" on 4 hours of sleep. You are fooling yourself.
