As an aside you touch on a separate point: it's much easier for your girlfriend to find work in Belgium than it would be for you to find one in Bratislava. Which probably explains, much like here further south, the mass exodus of the youth and a somewhat pessimistic attitude of the locals towards their country's economy.

> Mathematicians discovered the existence of these structures first and gave them names. Programmers also came across them, and there is no shame in giving the structures better names more appropriate to their own field - whether mathematicians like it or not.

Actually this is not what happened here - when programmers added the concepts you mentioned, they were very much aware of the mathematical counterparts.

Regardless, I think it is a shame to call the same thing differently just for the sake of it.

I can at least answer the last question. "Pass-through" refers primarily to taxation.

An LLC tries to combine the benefits of Corporations and Companies. The Company benefit is that any income is effectively the owners' income: it passes through the company to the owners, who then file taxes on the income as if it was a paycheck. This is the "pass through" idea; that income (and taxation) is passed directly to the owners.

The corporate benefit is what gives LLCs their name. In cases of litigation, even though the revenue stream is passed to the owners, it is the business that is sued as an entity. This then "limits" the liability of the business owner.

Almost all companies doing post-series-B are losing money at the time they finalize the round. While only some of the deals are explicitly structured as debt or debt-like (although, more and more, it seems), they are all pretty similar on a balance sheet. They are selling something which hurts the business as-is in order to get cash, to pump into a system that isn't making money.

At the end of the day, the celebration is predicated on a denial of the business realities these companies are faced with.

Now, in terms of how _frequent_ these posts are on hacker news... not as frequent as they used to be, for sure. But when they do pop up, nobody is saying it's not really news. That's my whole point.

I disagree. Here's a moral (not legal) argument: he was streaming something for free to share with friends and family, and decided that he was OK to share it with interested parties that were interested to witness a live birth.

ABC is a corporate entity that exploited the footage for purely commercial purposes, as a way to attract attention to their news broadcast so they could sell advertising in the middle. This is a fundamentally different purpose from sharing it freely, and seeks to privatize what was previously given away unselfishly.

I'm not going to spend time looking up individual cases now, but I can think of several examples of big media companies suing over equivalently short excerpts of their broadcast product were used by someone else, eg that time Fox demanded the producers of a documentary fork over some $$$ because one of the interviews took place in a room where a TV was displaying an episode of The simpsons in the background of the shot.

So the moral argument rests on the vast disparity in wealth between the two entities. An individual human of modest wealth shared something freely in a spirit of generosity, and a aggregate entity of vast wealth exploited it for its commercial value but selfishly kept all the benefit to itself, callously ignoring the financial burden to the parents that typically entails upon childbirth. A firm run on more moral principles would have split the proceeds of the commercial activity with the creators.

History is like that sometimes. The root causes are tangled and we have to do the best with what we have. That said, I don't think this article is framing the question well.

If you focus just on one part of the wealth, namely industrialization, it's clear that different countries have done this in different ways. For example if you compare England (first mover) vs. Japan (catch up driven in large part by defense) the outcome was still quite similar in that both countries successfully mastered mass production with corresponding economic benefits to the country as a whole. Yet the details of the societies at the start could hardly be more different.

It's hard to escape the conclusion that many regions would sooner or later would have met the conditions for rapid economic growth. The question of why it happened in Europe is not necessarily the most interesting one.
Misused, rather. This is dynamic pages, client side.
I am always irked by the people (usually well-to-to Westerners, though it doesn't matter too much) pining for "authenticity" and shabby chic of some place being "spoiled by capitalism".

So if they want to drive nice reliable cars and wear nice comfortable and beautiful clothes, it's great, even if those are exactly the same cars and clothes you find at your place.

A very apt way of putting it. For a while now I've held the opinion that anonymity (and to some degree privacy, at least the privacy you expect from anonymity) as we know it is a short-lived artifact of our accumulation into larger groups, where it's not possible to know everyone around you and almost everything about them. The farther back you go, the less anonymity there was to the people that you saw every day.

In that respect, what we're seeing is a return to the norm. That doesn't mean it's better, but I'm not sure there's a way to actually prevent it exept on an individual basis, and then only with a lot of work on the part of that individual.

I am in fact using a HiDPI display. I tried setting Windows 10's scale factor to 100%, disabling my HiDPI (laptop) monitor, and moving UE4 to a 1x (1080p) display. Unfortunately the issue is still present: https://i.imgur.com/tuvcAA8.png I don't know whether this means HiDPI scaling isn't the issue or I failed to completely disable whatever scaling is being applied.

The Interbase Backdoor and the Need for Open Hardware
What would happen if most hardware manufacturers would open their hardware and reveal their inner workings today?
We're running our uber-secure systems mainly on completely untrustworthy platforms. No matter the level of encryption used, strong passwords, encrypted backups, etc. Although effective against normal malware writers, they can be useless if a powerful enough entity can force the hardware manufacturer to stick surveillance code into any piece of hardware so that data is read and relayed elsewhere even before it gets encrypted. A strong argument should therefore be built to support the push for more open hardware and the best example I could provide to support that, although coming from software and being an old and nearly forgotten story, will hopefully work in that direction: the Interbase backdoor.

Back to hardware, more recently some Smart TVs manufacturers were caught with their pants off while spying users watch lists and behaviour using their smart TVs.

And in some cases is even worse than that as devices don't just analyze viewing habits...
http://www.geek.com/apps/samsung-reminds-smart-tv-owners-their-personal-conversations-may-be-recorded-1647353/

The risk of getting into an era where every device powerful enough to contain a backdoor will have one is very real; to me the only solution is to push very strongly for Open Hardware while educating users about its importance.
Production has always moved to where it was cheapest. For example, that's why manufacturers used to be located along waterways, because transporting the materials was cheapest over water.
Worse is when ad technology is prioritized and is set up more stably/reliably than the content itself. It’s one thing to sit through an ad before successfully watching something but quite another to put up with that and then see some obscure error code instead of the content you “paid” for with your ad eyeballs. I’ve had things fail 2 or 3 times, each time replaying the same ENTIRE ad without a hitch but then failing to deliver.

This is why people cry no tears when ad companies complain. If you want to stick crap in my way, the experience had better be flawless.

> This overlooks why Europeans were able to achieve colonisation.

Columbus stumbled upon the New World while looking for a new sea route to Asia. There were no Chinese or Indian traders looking for sea routes to Europe.

Before industrialization, there weren't that many things Europe had to offer that weren't already available elsewhere (Asia already had firearms and ships, maybe not as good, but good enough for the era). Whereas India had pepper and spices and China had silk, both of which were highly valued in Europe and could not be produced domestically.

> Let's remember that e.g. the Inca empire, one of the biggest empires the world had ever seen at the time, was essentially colonised by 168 men (with one canon) [1] ... There are many reasons for this, but clearly an important reason is that the conquered empires where themselves forged with violence

There were other reasons too. Pizarro's men had steel armor and weapons whereas the Incas had stone or bronze weapons and padded armor. They had horses (mounted lances can do stunning amounts of damage to unprepared infantry) and the Incas had no experience in dealing with horse-mounted troops when you're on foot (spear walls, spiked pits etc). Pizarro held the Incan emperor hostage. Smallpox and other diseases took their toll later on. etc. etc.
We purchased a single family home in Florida for $11K down, so not necessarily. It currently cash flows for around $200 a month (all expenses paid, including property management - we live in California).

There are also ways to partner with others to combine a down payment, as well as putting together a deal with no money down (funded by others). It is incredibly important to study/investigate ahead of time before creating a deal with more than one partner, as there are financing rules that may apply (for example, the SEC can be involved with syndication, if it gets to that).

There is quite a bit of money in the world looking for good investments, so if you can become someone who puts together good investment deals, attracting capital will not be an issue. Some have started by creating a deal where they had no money down but instead received 10% or 20% for putting the deal together and making it happen. The next deal can be a higher percentage (success builds trust), until eventually you have built up enough capital to be doing your own deals, if that is your preference.

The team you build is more important - Attorneys, CPAs, Property Managers, Insurance Brokers, etc.

Strictly speaking no, you can still sue for economic damages and win, but registering lets you get statutory damages which are punitive in nature, up to 3x the economic damages. Economic damages are limited to what you'd have been owed if they licensed it at prevailing rates.
In a typical company, earning a fixed monthly salary, you will end up paying the company the majority of the money you make for them, and the more value you produce the company, the less you earn by comparison (since in most companies your contribution is not immediately reflected in the salary and can be hard to measure).

Flat fee + 10% of earnings seems very, very generous to me by comparison.

But I do agree that was a very important detail left out of the article!
