In Australia this actually happens in a rather structured way; Superannuation, or defined contribution benefits as it is usually called in Europe. Your employer (full or part time) is required by law to contribute 9.5% of your salary (over the top) into a regulated fund with your name on it (i.e. the funds are no longer accessible to the company). In your younger years this is normally put into a growth focused investment (stocks etc), when you get closer to retirement most employees elect to move to a more cash / hard asset class (bonds, property, and sometimes corp bonds). The real pity is that most super administration companies charge whopping fees and most employees stick with the administrator chosen by their company.

They can also be lost just as quickly when the market doesn't conveniently act like you think. If the system was rigged in the way you suggest, hedge funds would do much better as an asset class than they actually do (after fees, they've significantly underperformed an S&P 500 index fund). WRT your claims of rampant insider trading, when the SEC sees heavy option volume before public news breaks, frequently, someone goes to jail.

A body with 1kg inertial mass experiences, from our perspective, centrifugal force due to rotation of the Earth. At the equator, this could be as great as 33 grams. If the body had gravitational mass m_g smaller than that, it would fly away upwards. If m_g was small enough, the body would escape Earth's gravity.
You don't need an app store to distribute updates so yes that is exactly what I meant so don't be pedantic.

And no it's not the real question. If anything, the real question is how many actually even install 3rd party apps via that App Store which according to a couple of reports I have read is surprisingly few. Most mac users don't install any new software after they purchase their mac. But even that is besides the point of this discussion.

My own experience being a top 10 paid app for a while in the app store was sobering as it have been to so many others. There was literally no boost to sales compared to before which basically means that all traffic was traffic I generated myself not something apple provided. If the majority of people only use the app store for updating apps then it is perfectly reasonable to question whether the value that it provides a few who do use it regularly outweighs the many who do all the hard work to actually get people to buy their app and apple still be taking 30%.

It reminds me of the New York real estate market where you find your own apartment do all the hard work yet still pay 15 of a years rent to a real estate agent.

Furthermore if you actually read what I have been writing instead of just cherry picking you would also know that I have nothing against the app store as a concept it makes perfect sense for ex iOS because Apple keeps improving that platform.

What I have something against is Apples handling of the macs' and neglect which is the only reason we are in the situation that we are in where I had to move out of the app store. And it's the current state of the app store I am talking about not some ideological tirade against it.

It's a much bigger discussion than "asking the users about the value" which in this context isn't important. Of course some people get value out of it but not as many as you seem to believe and the real question is whether the negative consequences of the sandbox is really serving the macs future which in my opinion it's not and which is actually what this debate is all about.
Yep and they change things around every once in a while too. I RE'd dropbox several times using several different techniques. I just checked my old tarball containing a script which downloads dropbox binary, downloads the Python interpreter, builds the opcode table database and then decompiles everything.

gvb@santarago:/tmp/lookinsidethebox$ ./run.sh
fetched all dependencies..lets try decompiling
no saved opcode mapping found; try to generate it
pass one: automatically generate opcode mapping
108 opcodes
pass two: decrypt files, patch bytecode and decompile
1928/1928
successfully decrypted and decompiled: 1727 files
error while decrypting: 0 files
error while decompiling: 196 files
opcode misses: 7 total 0x6c (108) [#9], 0x2c (44) [#14], 0x8d (141) [#15], 0x2e (46) [#1], 0x2d (45) [#14], 0x30 (48) [#5], 0x71 (113) [#11783],

A starting point to do this yourself is: https://github.com/rumpeltux/dropboxdec. After unmarshalling the new pyc files the seed read in via the rng() function is in newer Dropbox installations passed through a Mersenne twister from which 4 DWORD values are being read which are then used to construct the key for the Tiny Encryption Algorithm cipher.

After that you get the binary blob back which you can unmarshall now. But you still need to figure out the opcode mapping. For that I used a trick publicly first done (to the best of my knowledge) by the author of PyREtic (Rich Smith) released at BH 2010. He just compares the stdlib pyc files with the stdlib included within dropbox (after decrypting those pyc files) byte by byte. That should yield a mapping of opcodes.

Then pass everything through uncompyle2 and you've got pretty readable source code back. Some files will refuse to decompile but that means hand-editing / fine-tuning the last bits of your opcode table a bit.

EDIT: follow-up on parent comment; the encryption keys are not in the interpreter. The interpreter is patched to not expose co_code and more (to make this memory dumping more difficult; injecting an shared object is a different technique that I used too). It's also patched to use the different opcode mapping and the unmarshalling of pyc files upon loading them. However the key for each pyc file is derived from data strictly in those files themselves. It's pretty clear when you load up the binary in IDA Pro and compare the unmarshalling code with a standard Python interpreter's code

Except for the part where it's not actually a blockchain?

By that definition, Certificate Transparency is also a blockchain. Except...it's not.

I also like how they make a big deal about the "trusted" hospitals and whatnot. As if hospitals couldn't possibly be sabotaged.

The whole point of blockchain is that it's a network of untrusted users. That's one of its main features. Having a "trusted" network is almost a downside, from this point of view. The certificate authorities are also a "trusted" network. But I think we've learned by now just how "trustworthy" they can be.
There is a big separation between your mental ability to come up with strong ideas and bringing these ideas to life. The biggest difference is fear of failure / rejection, which we feel much more strongly when we do things. I would focus on exploring if you have any issues in this area. A therapist is a great person to help with this.
Also the blame falls on actual users not keeping plugins up to date or using one's from dodgy sources.
Actually, social mobility in the United States is declining (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socio-economic_mobility_in_t...) at a time when the difference between the top 1 percent and the bottom 1 percent is obscene. There are people in this country with tens of billions of dollars while others are going bankrupt due to medical bills or working paycheck to paycheck, unable to save for retirement.

But it's not even that the top 1 percent doing well that is the problem. It's that the top 1 percent is doing extraordinarily well in a time when the rest of the country(with the exception of a handful of cities in the US) is seeing a decline in quality of life. A rising economy should benefit everyone, but it seems to only be benefiting the capital owners right now, which is making a lot of people very angry.

If you look at the first link there appear to be four floors. There's a 3d view in the second link. It looks like that bottom floor visible from the street is the main communal living space. Below that is a basement with laundry, workspaces, and theatre. The three floors above those are the actual "apartments". I'd guesstimate they are about what you'd expect from a dorm room in size.

"Savings accounts are stupid, you should leverage into the stock market" isn't a particularly sensible way of thinking about managing your money.

Dumping all your money into the market ignores that fact that there's a dependancy between how likely you are to need the money and how well the market is doing. Did equities just crash 30%? That means the economy is probably in the toilet, and you might be about to lose your job. I bet that cash portfolio is looking pretty good right about now.

Every dollar should have a purpose and be invested accordingly. If you're investing for a 10-year+ horizon, then you should absolutely put the money in the stock market because you can afford to ride out any drawdowns. But if for example you're saving for a deposit on a house, or if you can't afford to lose the money, then cash is probably the right choice.

>If you use some include() in php, you can avoid long php/html pages...

In my experience, you just get long PHP pages including other long PHP pages, globals defined in one and used in others, included files that contain nothing but HTML, and other madness.

You can certainly GET SHIT DONE in PHP with a bit more coherence. Composer, with its autoloader and a router (probably nikic/fastroute) won't get in your way, your code will be more organized, modular, and lightweight, dependencies can be managed, etc.

Ask HN: What are some light (not bloated) websites?
Sites like Hacker News, Sublevel, and Pinboard are beautifully simple in a world full of bloated JavaScript heavy websites. At times it feels like the web equivalent of coreutils; light, fast, do one thing - do it well.

Pinboard has a membership fee rather than advertising or selling your data. There also aren't any third party dependencies when you're logged in to help protect your privacy.

I'd like to put together a list of these sorts of sites. There has to be more out there. What websites (like HN/Pinboard) do you use? They're fast to load, pull in very little (or no) junk, respect privacy, etc...? Ideally have membership fees over advertising/you-are-the-product-being-sold.

> a lot of people I know--in the IT industry, obviously--flatly refuse to recognize that a union could be a good thing

Usually this includes knee-jerk arguments against dues, mandated wages/salary, and other aspects of existing/older unions. It seems like many people implicit assume that a union must involve a list a of traditional practices.

A union can be what you want it to be. If you don't want it to cover something, then leave it out. Charter the union to only address the specific problems that need to be addressed. Maybe limit "crunch" periods to healthy lengths of time near an actual product release? Maybe include a specific deterrent against extreme problems like collusion to fix salaries while otherwise ignoring salary completely?

As for dues and management costs, isn't that the kind of problem that is easy with modern computers and telecommunication? How much management is even needed for an IT union? In the past dues were needed to hire people to do the paperwork, send out notices, etc. Today, that work is a weekend Ruby On Rails project. After a specific purpose union is setup, are dues even necessary?

I think I avoid using the mouse with vim. It's not about the mouse per se, it's about having to frequently switch back and forth that becomes frustrating.

I think that you have not learned to move around efficiently in vim. I would never enter that curly-brace command. I think most of my moving is with w, which jumps one word at a time. I also use / to search and page up and down. It sounds like you may be using harder commands than I do.

Becoming efficient with vim takes a little effort and practice, and you seem to have not committed to one single editor. You can't expect to be very good at every editor at the same time.
People sometimes say that it's impossible for their company to make open source donations, but that it is possible for a product to be bought. It doesn't really matter what that product is - a printed manual, or a bit of support, but it's the order placement and invoice cycle that's most important for the people writing the cheques. Without those bits of paperwork the company cannot pay.

An interesting recent defense of the PSR: http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/p/pod/dod-idx/psr.pdf?c=phimp;...

The article itself has a rather flowery style, but there's a summary of the main argument and discussion of it here: http://edwardfeser.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/della-rocca-on-psr...
It bears pointing out that Russia's economy is 7% of the size of the U.S.'s and highly leveraged to natural resources, its population is shrinking, its industrial base is a shambles, and it's dealing with multiple societal crises (alcoholism, AIDS rate upswing, brain drain, etc).

I'm not saying that to be a US-triumphalist; most Russians are great people. And the country has some great things going for it (STEM education, athletics, etc).

My point is, during the Cold War, the US and its allies were engaged in a tooth-and-nail fight against the USSR and its allies to win a very public argument about whose system was better. This is no longer the case. People in some countries might wish their leader was a macho man like Putin, but nobody in their right mind wants their country to become more Russia-like.

So, who cares if the Russian security services are best-in-class? Who cares if their cloak-and-dagger game is head and shoulders above that of our spies? They're the tip of a spear with a rotting shaft.

> well-discredited "unmoved mover" argument

If you mean that there are arguments against the Aristotelean concept of an unmoved mover, that is certainly so.

But typically the term "discredited" implies a broad public consensus, whereas many people accept some form of the cosmological argument, which is related to the concept of an unmoved mover.

To use your version of "discredited," we might say that both theism and atheism are discredited, merely because there are arguments against each.

I find this completely pointless. You wean yourself off the mouse when you have to use the keyboard for most of the work you do. Trying to trick yourself to do "the right thing" (if that's what this is about) is just silly.

I use the keyboard almost exclusively, and even had colleagues remark on it rather impressed about it I guess (I don't mind the hacker cred, let's be honest here). I never had to force myself, or try silly tricks to drop a habit. I just found myself in situations where either there was no mouse, or it was more convenient to use the keyboard.

First I was forced to use runlevel 3 only, for three months (gpu died and I didn't have any money). Then I had a long commute with only a wimpy netbook with Fedora ...14, I think? With Xmonad on it (because it's damn light). Then I had a job that was done best over a network with powershell and windows remote. Then I had to do a lot of text processing and it was best done using Vim [1]. Then I spent a year on Z/Os where you can use a mouse but the point-and-shoot fields are much more convenient most of the time (except for copy/pasting, strangely). Then I noticed the Windows' 10 tiling desktop manager and there was much rejoicement (it's gotta be a deliberate Xmonad ripoff!). And now of course Windows has a bash shell so there's never any reason to leave the command line. Yay!

On the other hand, it's true that prolongued mouse use hurts my wrist and I am a bit worried that I might get RSI in the long run, so I'm conciously keeping my keyboard habbit fed. I guess what I'm saying is that the main thing you need is a good reason to drop the mouse, rather than a silly carrot-and-stick approach.

________________

[1] There I did force the issue a bit. I could have used Notepad++ but I was impressed with how a colleague was using vim and I wanted to use it too, so I resolved to make it my main text editor. Then again that's just more of the same: to learn vim I used vim in my everyday work.

The code is copypastable into the program Golly, which can run it much faster than Javascript.

The reason that this is great, is that it is awesome to try to mess with such patterns in life, by breaking something in one location by locally altering a few pixels and seeing how the failure slowly spreads throughout the whole mechanism.

Hashlife in javascript starts hicking up on that, Golly can simulate it at very watchable speed :)
