Another psychological problem here is the perception by people who do not understand the technology that the higher priced solution is better because it costs more.

What do you mean, they don't help anyone? Your moral consciousness is an extremely powerful thing, which is why repressive governments employ censorship so assiduously.

If we consider society in terms of game theory, law provides the rules, but the object of the game is to rewrite the rules through the exercise of power, for which you must employ strategy. The assertion of moral rights is a strategic objective.
> but it's not because it has lower energy...There is a "window" in the visible light

fair enough, I got my physics a bit wrong there, but I was under the impression that that window was in the blue/green part of the spectrum since I do know that water is good at blocking UV and even cosmic radiation.

I also know that it's good at blocking visible red, because if you go further than about 20-30 feet down on a sunny day and cut yourself, your blood looks green.

Is there an additional window in the infrared part of the spectrum that supports GP's point?
The software used was a commercial tool made upon Guacamole (Apache) called Inuvika. It's pretty awful, but having Linux and Windows apps on the same virtual desktop is quite cool. I don't know how much of that functionality comes from Guacamole or from the Inuvika addons.

Inuvika/Guacamole also support plain RDP, but we didn't use this, just the html5 client (browser)

If you want to see what open-source can do then look at Guacamole and go from there.

Ask HN: Your thoughts on contract-to-hire jobs?
I've seen some people say that contract-to-hire jobs what incompetent programmers take, but I don't really see the connection between that and your programming ability. Nor how they have a lower bar for hiring than full-time or contract-only jobs. Are the words in CTH usually weasel words?

I prefer full-time only jobs but personally, I'd be willing to work a CTH job for a major tech company. If I get an offer for a CTH job I would treat it as a contract-only job (in the sense that I'd be contractor right at this moment) and therefore ask for contractor rates.

This qualifies already.

18 U.S. Code § 1519 defines it as "Whoever knowingly...conceals...with the intent to impede...the proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States"

So technically, entering travel mode for the purpose of hiding your stuff from border agents could be interpreted as a violation of that statute, regardless of whether there was an active investigation or legal proceeding.

Of course, it would trigger a massive backlash if a federal prosecutor went after people for this. But it's there...

in my view, this is where all the blockchain ideas break down. once you require a central party holding the data for the service, its no longer decentralized. theres a reason the bitcoin blockchain is slow, expensive and hard to use. All of its weaknesses are sacrifices the users make in order to obtain decentralized uncensored internet money.

Contract-to-hire can be good for both parties. You want to find the right fit (and that goes both ways) before embarking on a long-term employment relationship. CTH can be a great solution for that. When possible, my companies use CTH (2- or 4-week contract) instead of weeks of unpaid interviews.

> There’s also the elephant in the room. Although “Internet freedom” appropriations may be safe for now, a large chunk of this funding pool could also quickly dry up, leaving many projects scrambling to keep the lights on.

I think this an oft-overlooked, yet important point to raise, especially in the current American political context. We've already seen superficial budget cuts (or attempts at them) by this administration such as to the NEA. Especially given the political context in which some of the OTF-funded applications operate, I think we should be grateful for as long as this funding stays off the radar, but not rely on it as a long-term funding solution for "Internet freedom"-type projects.

Too many projects in the not-for-profit tech/Internet freedom/FOSS realm depend too heavily on grants in general, not just from the government. You aptly point out some of the problems that creates as far as maintaining an application over time. We saw recently with Tor a move away from DoD grants and towards crowd-funding. This is important for the independence, trustworthiness, and accountability of a project as well.

So one more thing I want to touch on about the donation mechanism in general. I really, really like how easy you've made it to contribute by building the mechanism into the app and making it an in-app purchase. The biggest barrier to me donating to most projects is visibility and ease of use of the mechanism. It's a combination of the out-of-sight-out-of-mind concept and the fact we're lazy as humans and sometimes just don't want to fill out repetitive multi-page forms to make a donation. By supporting small-dollar, recurrent donations and making the mechanism dead-simple, I think you're doing the most you can ensure the people who care and use the application will donate.

Only if you know them. I don't know about you, but I don't have my long random account key memorized (only my master password). You can't log into the website without that account key.

Of course, you do need to be able to log in to turn travel mode back on, so if I were to use this I'd probably do something like set up a service to securely send me my account key after I'm expected to have finished crossing the border, or maybe just store it on a remote server that I have access to under the expectation that the TSA can't demand that I SSH into a remote server (especially one they don't even know about). Though if I'm traveling alone (instead of with my wife) I'd probably just call her and ask her to turn travel mode off for me.
That has a 72Wh battery; the Surface Pro 4 has a 40Wh battery, and this is presumably similar. So it's a pretty big difference.

The difference between LPDDR3 and DDR3 isn't dramatic in actual operation; LPDDR3 uses about 70% of the power of DDR3.

It becomes a bigger deal when the machine is in standby, however; LPDDR3 uses 10% the power of DDR3. This would be a big deal for Apple, which also insists on using LPDDR3, and has historically sold machines with standby times measured in weeks or months. Not sure if people have particular expectations of standby times from Surface Pros, but if they're used like tablets you'd want it to be decent. Keeping the memory powered is nearly the only power used when a computer's in standby, so 10x the power usage would be a huge deal.

As a (junior) new hire in a group without very complete or correct documentation, I'm not sure I can agree with that. It can be nigh on impossible to try to improve documentation for complex systems without a very deep understanding of the stack. I could spend hours writing documentation but it's not useful when I don't know what is and isn't an intended behavior. I think a fresh face is a great asset to have for writing docs but they need someone with a very good understanding of the system to work with them. Some of the most frustrating times I've had had a junior dev have been documentation tasks for things I did not know very well, spending time poking the system to gain understanding and more time writing clear docs, only to hear that my docs are 'not how it works' and I had either setup and configuration wrong or need to file bugs so it works how it's 'supposed to', even though that is the exact documentation it's lacking. Maybe this is different for projects with less technical debt, where if the current behavior was documented that documentation would be useful. I think this habit of giving documentation tasks to the least knowledgeable people on a project, even though it's reviewed by those with more knowledge, makes the docs suffer.
this would be a great step towards open government code

Good commenting requires empathy.

You need to imagine how people will interact with your code and write just enough to help them understand the things that aren't already self evident.

I've found that the most clean, well maintained codebases I've worked with had VERY sparse comments, but the ones that did exist were critical to quickly understanding the "why."
The OP commented how sites like Facebook and Instagram seem to distort people's view of what is a normal or good life, as often only the best moments are shared on the site. And this affect can happen even if you are aware of it.

HN is mostly about discussing specific sorts of topics, and doesn't have much of a personal profile, so it is likely that affect is far smaller here.

As for addictiveness, I would agree with you that they are similar along that dimension.

So maybe that's true of books, music and computer software - but those things are often best experienced digitally anyways, many people consume them solely as digital goods.

But when I need clothes, car parts, electronic components, computer parts, any physical product with a non-zero chance of failure or an immediate desire really - knowing I can try something on or walk in 10 minutes later and return something and get it replaced on the spot is a killer feature - one that online shopping cannot replace.

I'd go so far as to argue that real stores are always better than online stores - online stores can only win on price and selection. For every other metric around, delivery time, replacement effort, ability to compare and to try, there's just no replacement.

> I'm sure I can find something either wrong with your solution (or you) that allows me to say I tried for the savings

Spot on. I'm getting flashbacks just reading this!

It's so easy to create FUD around "the $400 solution" that it's laughable.

-----

Upper management will be filled with so many questions:

* "If this is so cheap, why isn't everyone doing it this way? Surely all those important people wouldn't be wasting money, so there's gotta be something we're missing here."

* "What have we been paying 4 guys to do this whole time? Surely they would've figured this out earlier if it could've been done this way. I hope my boss doesn't hear that I've had a completely redundant department this whole time..."

* "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This guy is probably just trying to supplant my trusted middle manager by making him look like a money-waster. I need to tell my secretary to filter my emails better..."

-----

And middle management can easily say:

* "While Bob is able to get the same output right now, he is doing it in a non-scalable way that will have to be rewritten over and over again as we grow. Our way costs more upfront but it will allow us to expand to fulfill EXECS_WILDEST_DREAMS. You don't want to go down the day that you're featured in Fortune Magazine because Bob's data analysis script hammered the database, do you? We should use the solution you wisely previously approved, the solution on which you heard that compelling talk at CIOConf last year. It is much better than being penny wise and pound foolish!"

* "If I pull up Monster.com right now, there are 500 Hadoop candidates in our area. How many 'Bob's Data Processing Toolkit' candidates are there? We would be painting ourselves into a corner, and if Bob ever left us, we would be stranded."

* "I too was amazed by Bob's Data Processing Toolkit, and I enthusiastically tried it. Unfortunately, my best employee Sally pointed out that Bob's Toolkit causes disruptive fits of packet spasm in the switch hardware, threatening our whole network. I asked him to fix this but he says that he doesn't even think that problem is a real thing. Yes, he had the gall to impugn my best employee, Sally! He is clearly in denial about this and too close to see the impact objectively, so I put him on another task. [Under breath: he is also clearly a sexist pig, and we're lucky Sally didn't call HR.]

"It was a valiant effort and I do indeed applaud Bob for his attempts and concern for the company's well-being, and I assure you, Mr. Upper Manager, that we are continuing to analyze his Toolkit's mechanisms in depth and we will apply all savings and optimizations that we can. However, as you know, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is, and it is just not realistic that a Very Important Company like ours could handle all of our Very Important Data for less than half the cost of your car payment each month."
I think there is a line to be drawn somewhere, and I don't know where — but taking this further, if I erase my laptop before going to the US and then restore it from a backup online, isn't this the same thing as „knowingly concealing with the intent to impede”?

And what if I don't take the laptop at all? Am I „concealing” anything? Theoretically — yes.

There has to be a limit to how far one can take the application of that law.

It's a little tricky to answer without knowing what your specific problem is.

It's a politically sensitive topic, so articles play up problems with IQ while playing down it's predictive success.

But even one of the articles you quote admits "The difference between a 79 and a 69 is highly noticeable, and the test can determine which is which and the reasons why."

Tests like ACT and SAT are highly correlated with IQ. As is the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) that the military uses. So when Google checks applicant's SAT scores, they're checking their IQ.

One important thing to note is that it's a better prediction of performance of a group than an individual.

Anyways Feynman's purported 125 IQ score translates to an expected SAT score (V+M) of 1210. Which won't even get you into any of the schools he excelled at.

If your issue is my comment about IQ tests in the 1930s, I can't actually back that up. I have no idea what test he took. But psychologists have done a lot of work on the tests since then.
It's unlikely that he'll be able to have political control and still retain control of FB. Possible, of course, but given the current administration's deliberate attempts to wreck ethical norms I suspect that over the next decade we'll either see a transition to a different form of governance or a much firmer and stricter codification of the distinction between public and private life.
