I think Blendle's funding model has potential. Of particular importance is how smooth it is to read, and just as easy to say 'nope, not for this one', or not.

I've read good things on Medium, but if anything Sturgeon's Law is too generous regarding overall quality. Considering the nature of the beast, I'm not even sure it is possible to change the quality ratio without potentially breaking what Medium is.

I'd be happy chipping in sub-dollar amounts here and there for the good stuff, but I am not going to pay a flat fee for access to what amounts to a whole lot of tripe and just a few meatballs.

Yes, the court system exists precisely to determine fuzzy things like this.

I'm still curious, what kind of evidence or testimony might be considered believable in this case. Whether someone remembers a particular sequence of words and symbols seems like a thing that's very hard to determine, and by its nature it's unlikely there is any evidence either way.

From the quote you give (and I'll admit I have not read up on this case beyond the article, so it's possible I'm missing something), it sounds like he claimed he didn't remember the password, the court responded with "I don't believe you because you haven't proven that you don't remember it, so have fun in jail until you decrypt."

How would you prove, if you were brought into court, that you don't remember a specific password?

> English is pretty-well universally understood there

No, this is absolutely not the case. I was there just over Christmas, and we did have problems to communicate with locals. Sure, the college educated all speak English. They don't work as bus drivers or at the gas station though. But these are the people I interact with the most as a tourist.

That is not to say that people aren't multilingual there. I'm sure they all speak two or three languages. Such as Hebrew, Arabic or Russian.

So there are no investors for early startups? (honest question, not a rethorical one)

There is still a lot between 100k revenue and not profitable at all. What about something like barely selfsustaining (but by that proven to be somewhat profitable) with 2 employees? Or making 10k with a 2-man startup?
If you do any substantial overclock, meaning you are going to do a little bit of over voltage, the presence or lack of XFR matters little, and you are definitely going to go above turbo core freqs. XFR is going to be a nice-to-have unconditionally because of it being on the fly adjustments, but it does not seem to be a feature that it is going to make you buy an X version over non-X. It seems to me it will come down to the classic spend less risk more, spend more risk less in terms of overclock, just like it was for vishera 8320/8350/9370/9590 , so I don't expect many features differences between the versions.
Depends on the nature of reform. What is frustrating is there is still very little clarity on where things will end up.

The blanket travel ban is a human rights issue - and is undesirable on all fronts - and not just to tech.

H1-B's are a separate beast. Here we should distinguish tech companies ability to hire 'top' talent vs. 'cheap' talent. A lot of foreign service-based companies have misused the H1-B program to take undue advantage of the latter. My understanding is the the government wants to cut down on this. The intent should be to make domestic firms more competitive (by preventing foreign companies from bringing in cheap labour from outside the US), without stifling innovation (i.e. they should be allowed to hire top talent at prevailing salaries).

The US is #2 in large dams with about 9,000. China is #1 with nearly 24,000, but their dam construction has almost all been since 1949. So my guess is that it's a combination of the US having many dams, and having had them for many years.

Not enough challenging or interesting general reads), and the Reading Experience: I can’t believe I have to export to Pocket (which is currently doing a better job providing me good content that Medium is) in order to get things like white on black or sepia themes, a choice of fonts with ligatures and full justification. Auto-scrolling would be nice too.

Let's not be absurd, shall we? You'd be extremely well advised to make an immediate report of the crime, and you would certainly leave your drone's memory card as evidence, but other than that, I don't see what you'd have to worry about - and I've myself been involved in a couple of reports of possession of child pornography, back in my retail storefront IT days.

There are a lot of Investors in Berlin. But without Social Proof, it would probably be a waste of time trying to approach them.

If you make about 100k revenue (or if you have otherwise significant traction), you can not only approach investors in Berlin but also ouside, which kind of solves the "Social Proof" problem.

If you are barely selfsustaining, then please stay bootstrapped and grow your business. Otherwise the process of fundraising in Berlin will most likely kill your business.

This. And it's not just Berlin, it's the whole Germany including banks - they will all tell you please make 1M, then we will lend you 1M with your 1M as a collateral. Simply forget it unless you managed to choose your parents wisely (i.e. rich or influential).
If I see proof (undoctored video) of a dog being beheaded (a child being sexually abused) I think I'm safe to conclude that a dog was killed (a child was raped).

If then that video was sold (or distributed in any way) to fetishists of dog beheading I could conclude that there is some kind of commercial (distribution) process going on here.

Where are you actually located? I don't think there is anything happening in Berlin on Friday. I suggest getting involved in your local startup community and heading to wherever the events are, when they are actually there. You wont have abny problem with investors if you actually get involved. What is your startup by the way?
The real problem is that you can not short circuit with XOR.
Ask HN: Non-US founders, are you reconsidering appling to YC due to Trump?
Having applied to HN in the past, I have decided against applying due to, both myself and SO, not wanting to live in the US under President Trump.

Is there anyone else who feels this way?
Or (and I am not kidding or being sarcastic), think about going to Munich instead. For well-defined startups with a clear strategy, Munich is a decent location. It's not "cool" or "hipsterish" but instead focused, goal-driven and quite approachable in my experience.
There's someone who definitely spent a lot of time on this, definitely check out Ted Nelson's ZigZag structure: http://xanadu.com/zigzag/

It is exactly that, an attempt to structure data in a similar way that our thoughts are formed. I believe it was this video where he shortly explained that concept; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqx6li5dbEY

Although it might be a different video since Ted Nelson is all over the place with his documents and videos.
I don't want to sound negative and I might be wrong in my assumptions but 50-75k sounds like something you can get from FFF (family, friends and fools) or supply it with your time. So the question for me is why an investor is going to put money in you if your family and friends don't do it.

A good idea to approach investor is through other startups, people that already know them. You can meet startups entrepreneurs in meetups, I am sure that Berlin is full of meet ups. And if you are not lucky this way you can always try to find them in internet and send them a cold email. A small email with 2-3 lines talking about your product, the money you want and for what it is.

I wish you good luck!

"an individual sets himself up as judge and jury on the subject of complicated legal matters"

Legal channels were shown to be utterly ineffective in these matters, accomplishing nothing but drawing retribution against the would-be whistleblower: http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/12/15/nsa-inspector-wh...

And how many judges were consulted on wether the spying was legal, let alone got to rule on it? How carefully chosen were they? And how legitimate are such secret trials? You accuse whistleblowers of playing judge and jury for merely revealing what the government is -doing-.

Finally, the entire appeal to 'legal matters' is misguided - whistleblowing is done when someone feels something is -morally- wrong, regardless of what the law, written by the government and interpreted in secret, says.
> If your a Canadian citizen with %50+ native blood....

> since it would mean all native born Canadians could just apply for US citizenship on the border

These are not equivalent, and so it's clear why not all native born Canadians can apply for US citizenship at the border. In particular Native-Canadian is not the same as native-born Canadian. It's like the difference between Native Americans and native-born Americans (note the difference in capitalization, if that helps).

Twitter has a celebrity SV CEO. That's his job; what are they waiting for?
This is nothing to do with the opposition. The political culture of the UK when it comes to security and civil liberties is completely authoritarian on both sides of the house (and in the media). 'Security' trumps all. This is a problem a long time in the making and will take either a) a great big negative shock or b) many years of education to correct.

I trialled one, but decided it wasn't profitable for me considering my audience in this geography.

Challenges:

* Does your niche have a big enough audience?

Myself, the niche was hobby electronics. Lights, motors, switches and microcontrollers.

* Can you market effectively to your audience?

In my case, no. Facebook, Reddit, and radio didn't reach enough people. Word of mouth was best, but then only in one or two cities.

* Can delivery be both cheap enough and reliable enough?

The most prestigious package delivery company regularly sent to the wrong end of the country.

* Make the box interesting each month, without giving away everything in it.

People like the surprise. But you don't tend to be able to cost effectively put much in a box. I had three projects each time, I kept at least one secret.

* Suppliers need to be very reliable.

I got more orders than expected, but within what the supplier said they could deliver. They couldn't by the deadline. I got credit, but it'll cost you customers.

* Are you competing for an audience?

Subscribers tend to be intensely loyal. Not a space I would choose to compete in.

* Engage with customers.

You need a place to talk to customers, probably a mailing list as well, and most people expect some sort of cute newsletter in the box. That can be a lot of work.

* Where will you deliver?

It ended up cheaper to ship to China and the US, than to ship to my own backyard. More reliable too. Do your research.

* Can you afford it?

The time to curate the box, communicate and market with the audience, keep suppliers and delivery in line is immense.

Ads + Writing worked just fine for most of the last century when print was the only option.

The dead elephant in the room is the fact that the online ad experience is the most irritating and least useful ad experience in all of history.

I use Google to search for A Certain Thing to buy, I buy it, and BAM - I spend the next month getting ads for the same Certain Thing.

The ads are completely useless to me, because I'm no longer interested in buying A Certain Thing. The ads are useless for the advertiser, because they're paying for nothing. And the ads themselves are usually animated and irritating anyway.

Print ads, especially in the glossy predecessors of what Medium would like to be, were often professional, creative, and at least potentially interesting.

The online ad industry has never understood the difference between adding value to readers and repeatedly smacking them around the head in a misguided attempt to force them to click the BUY NOW button.

Medium missed the point of all this. The content varies from outstanding to not so good, the design is great. But it's a bit late to be thinking about monetisation, because now it's just replaying the mistakes made by every other media platform over the last decade and a half.
If the sample size was large enough and you could factor our everything else, then yes. I don't think anything like this was done, though.

What exactly is your point, then?
The amount of capital required for that seems enormous. But a good idea.

Could you briefly explain how "social proof" applies to startups?
If I were the US government with aspirations of complete population control, I'd be using the NSA data secretly to build a database of every single person, and producing a "risk/threat score".

Every action you take online will alter this score. Every person they are connected to would influence their score, not unlike Google PageRank.

Slowly you build up a picture of every single citizen, and anyone visiting the US would also be subject to this, possibly triggered by a visa waiver program application or a visa application.

By the time you land on US soil and your passport is scanned, the immigration agent will simply be warned that the traveller requires x, y, and z actions to be carried out.

I'll get my tinfoil hat out now.

Maybe, maybe not. That's a fraught subject around pornography in general, with tendentious argumentation on every side.

On the other hand, children are extraordinarily vulnerable to many forms of abuse, this among them. In a system of laws one of whose explicit purposes is to afford those vulnerable to mistreatment protection under law, I don't think it is on its face unreasonable to argue that children merit extraordinary protection as well. While there is perhaps a fair question to be asked around whether the sort of law under discussion actually serves that end, I would at the very least suggest anyone raising the question in a serious way be very well prepared to answer objections and counterarguments of every imaginable sort.
> discrimination does exist: prescription drug use is an illegal-yet-ignored marketplace of predominately White, upper-middle-class-on-up users who are not targeted by DEA enforcement the way street drugs are

Are you implying that the reason those drugs are not targeted, is because they are used by middle class whites? It's just as likely the other way round.

Don't worry too much about the low amounts. Develop cooking techniques to use less oil (non-stick pans, measuring out oil, etc), and switch between oils when you cook. I don't figure I'm eating enough fats to worry about it, as I don't eat meat and limit fish/seafood to once every week or two.

I use either butter or a butter/canola blend for most stovetop cooking and generally use an olive/canola blend for breadmaking, with the exception of pizza crust which is oil-free.
