I'm not convinced that "posting to a public network" gets you out of the sketch. Sections 5-7 seem at least partially relevant, but then I'm neither in the US nor am I a lawyer anywhere else.

Posting data to a remote system, with the clear intent of taking a thing of value from another person without permission. Perhaps it falls between the cracks, but I'd be reasonably surprised if it doesn't come under this or another similar act.

Not necessarily, you could trust the accuracy of an activity tracker like fitbit, garmin, etc. Or the user could submit photo/video proof voted on by users. I think the more difficult side of the problem is consistently providing a reward that is valuable to he user.
The actual answer to "why not the Moon?" is - AFAICT - because it's less likely to be able to sustain a human population. Notably, there's a significant shortage of water compared to even Mars (though recent discoveries seem to indicate that there might be more water than previously thought).

An algorithm is a series of steps to do a thing. In that sense everything I do is understanding and implementing algorithms.

From wikipedia: An algorithm (Listeni/ˈælɡərɪðəm/ AL-gə-ri-dhəm) is a self-contained sequence of actions to be performed. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty),[4] the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite[5] number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output"[6] and terminating at a final ending state.

I mean, if you're not writing code that takes inputs and produces outputs, then what the hell are you doing?

The point is to test candidate's ability to impart knowledge and to learn and to quickly adapt new information into the way they solve a problem. You can be the best coder in the world, but if I can't understand your code enough to be able to maintain it, you are going to be a pretty useless team member. Similarly, if you can't adapt your technical solutions to new information quickly, you're going to have a hard time keeping up with our product team.

Hell, I'd be perfectly happy if you explain to me the algorithm (recipe) to make the perfect barbeque ribs. That shit's complicated too.

The other day I walked past a few used book stores. I'm quite sure many of the publishers are out of business - yet the books can be read.

Books only available behind solid DRM will dissappear along with those who operate the drm system. Never mind the fact that they allow for virtual book burning by taking control over the DRM.

See Microsoft zune, yahoo music. Consider that we still read books that are 100s of years old, and ask yourself if you believe DRM will help or hinder the spread of books. Add to this the possibility of "banning" books in certain regions (as with Netflix, Amazon video) - the role of DRM in ensuring corporate profit (author rights and profits are hardly their raison d'être) - puts the world at unacceptable risk.
I'm not going to argue with you. I'm just pointing out that many of us have relatively easy white-collar jobs that pale in comparison to the hard, manual labor that our grandparents did. Expecting a warehouse job to coddle you is ridiculous. You're working in a warehouse - you know you're going to be standing on your feet, walking about 10 miles a day, your entire shift (outside of breaks). If you can't handle that, don't take the job. Nobody is forcing you to.

Travel can be extremely cheap nowadays, e.g. budget airlines on weekdays, last minute deals from the big tour operators. Working one 10 hour day a week will allow for way more travel than 4x the money on a 4 or 5 days work week.

Last year I had a consulting gig in a Europe based company, with offices next to a big airport. As summer was slow anyway I'd work 30h weeks (invoicing four 7.5 hour work days) Tuesday - Thursday, and spend the other 4 days at a beach in Ibiza, Bulgaria or Cape Verde (with occasional remote login to take care of emergencies).
I'm pointing out the casual fallacy and blatant disregard for foreigners in the GPs comments "leave behind a sick employee pool", as if though moving an obviously dangerous job from their own country (with stricter safety regulations) to another country will just magically fix the problem, as opposed to just making people in some other country sick instead.

Assuming a world where every country had the same workplace safety regulations, it seems obvious that a richer more developed country would be better prepared to deal with workplace injuries and other ailments that result having less strict regulation.

Which is why I'm critiquing the GPs comment as having more to do with "nationalism than concern for overall human safety". We should be concerned with the overall human cost of the products we use, not whether the people injured in their production happen to live in place A or place B.

Some of the EU laws you mention are certainly a step in the right direction, but they're only skin deep. No penalties are paid for outsourcing toxicity to poorer countries during the normal import of consumer products, just for some exports of toxic material. The former category is much larger than the latter.
If you suspect cell jamming, and you're in the USA, contact the FCC and report the business. The mere fact that it interferes with 911 is enough to send a store manager to prison. If they can prove that an emergency vehicle every got close enough to the business to be potentially affected, the business could see hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.

The FCC could just park a van in front of the store for 3 minutes and their tools would verify that a jammer was in use.

Here's the details on anti-jamming laws, and a list of people who have had their ass handed to them by the FCC for doing it: https://www.fcc.gov/general/jammer-enforcement

The value is that Aldi is nowhere near here, and Lidi is completely un-heard-of.

The only reason I know about Aldi is that I spent a couple of years working in Chicago (and living further out), and even there I had to drive a long ways out of my way to find an Aldi. I think I went once in the 2 years I was there.

My 2c (as a developer who has done some engineering / project management earlier, in companies):

The informal technique of Management By Wandering Around (MBWA) can help. I've used it in projects that I handled. It is known to have been used at HP (Hewlett-Packard), and has been written about in books on management (I read it in one such book, and applied it some), but since it is a somewhat obvious thing (at least in hindsight), it's likely to have been known much before.

The basic idea of MBWA is: instead of only relying on formal reports such as weekly status reports and such, to track / monitor how things are going, and to be able to take corrective action, walk casually, now and then, around the work area of the team (whether cubicles or individual offices for team members, the same concept applies), and chat with them (not all at the same time, maybe one or two at a time), and/or be there a while at their desk and watch what they are doing, for a bit. You can learn a lot about good and bad or potentially not so good things that are going on, with the team's (individual's) work, some of which might not surface via the regular / formal reporting mechanisms.

Worth a try, IMO, and can also be fun, since you get to interact with your team members in more casual settings. In fact, if you observe a team member doing something not quite right, or something that can be improved, telling them about it informally in such a setting, can be taken by the team member in a better spirit, than if given as a lecture or reprimand in a formal one-one-one or team meeting.

Edit:

>and/or be there a while at their desk and watch what they are doing, for a bit.

Of course, you have to do this in the right way. It should not come across as though you are watching over their shoulder as they do their work - anyone would feel uneasy with that. Can do things like talk with them, ask "how is it going?", "having any issues?", ask pertinent questions about some piece of code or some output or test or design point, etc., and offer suggestions for fixes or improvements as appropriate (both on the specific point and any small process or technique that can help avoid such issue in future - good examples (for junior devs) would be the kind of things that are discussed in books like Code Complete.

It's not about having something to do, hobbies don't put food on the table, or provide a table, or a roof to go over it. Our current economic system has no answers for a world where labor isn't valued because it's all based on capital and wage labor. You think we're talking about people being bored or something?

Real AI would create mass unemployment, 50% or more of the population unable to find someone to pay them enough to live on because robots will be doing all the jobs they're capable of. How are these people going to survive? That's the issue being discussed.

To expand on that first reason, being able to live on Mars (and/or other worlds; I'd personally prefer Ceres or Enceladus, or maybe Pluto when we actually have the technology to perform an orbital insertion there) gives us an opportunity to evacuate Earth and let it recover from the injuries it's sustained during the Industrial Age.

Open source software is fantastic -- but is that how we're making our livings? From what I can tell, OSS is either a) a labor of love, in addition to a separate full-time job, b) supported by a nonprofit that pays you a salary out of grants and donations, or c) supported by a corporation that pays you a salary out of EE sales or support revenue. (There may be exceptions, but they seem few.) Only (a) bears any resemblance to the business model for authors.

Some authors certainly receive nonprofit monies, but funding for the arts is notoriously thin. If you were able to create a corporation that sells support contracts for literature or an enterprise edition for scholarship -- and payed out to authors regardless of how well their product performed -- then there might be a comparison.
For buyers it wasn't easy back then. Now, in Spain, you can turn cash into bitcoins very easily. There are bitcoin ATMs in a lot of cities where you can buy/sell bitcoins anonymously with a 1000 euros limit.

With a bank account or debit card it's even easier.
Just so I understand: You're just leveraging Twilio, and then upcharging the shit out of people for paying with BTC, correct?
The problem is that buy the bitcoin in some places, like Colombia, is hell.

> This article is total bullshit and so is the "dual education" model.

This article is about the american system, and compared to taking on student debt, earning an apprentices' salary is an improvement.

>A lot of that is stuff you could be trained for on-the-job in six months or less.

Well, german workmanship has a good reputation internationally, so I would be careful to meddle with a system that produces adequate results.

> Also, don't buy into the German educational model, it's one of the most discriminatory systems in the world, even though it is "free" on paper, it's all about weeding out people at a young age so they're not allowed to attend the "free" university. We have parents suing the teachers of ten-year-olds for the grades they give, because of the impact it can have on their careers.

"One of the most discriminatory systems in the world"? really? Education is free including university, low-income families can get tutors for their children paid for by the Arbeitsamt.
About "weeding out people": Not everybody has the ability to study at a university, so to prevent people from wasting years of their life and paying the opportunity cost that goes with it, it is best to give those people a clear signal which career paths are open to them and which are not.
The parents suing the schools in the link you provided are doing their children a disservice. If you force a child onto a school type above its level of competence, the child will suffer. Being the worst in class is not exactly good for the developing psyche, having no free time because the child needs to study and visit tutors simply to survive academically also takes its toll. And to what end? To start an apprenticeship with abitur? To study at university for a couple of years until you fail to many exams to continue?

So, here we are.

11 weeks completed, lots of great mentoring sessions and listening to conversations with the rest of the startup of the group.

11 weeks trying to find product market fit for our product and idea and at last (coinciding with the end of startup school :) it looks like we might be there there.

This week we broke a few records all together. Most importantly during these 11 weeks we discovered that many people believe in what we believe and that many know inside that recruitment should not have to be as bad as it is today.

With Fluttr we are transforming recruitment in a very social process, where candidates can learn from the job application process itself.

Where recruiters are in charge, but no longer they need to "guess" if somebody is talented simply looking at their CV. Because through our platform they can ask help assessing candidates to real experts in that job and working in other companies.

We are the AirBnB of recruitment. A warmer, more social and alternative way to find a job or a talent.

Companies recruiting and recruiters alike can now hire the best talent confident that the technical screening (we focus on Design, Marketing, Data Science and IT at this point) has been run by real experts.

They can now hire people also measuring the candidates' motivation to join the company.

They can now discover the most talented people independently of age, sex, religion and other discriminatory factors, because the "experts" never know the real identity of the job applicants.

But more importantly every job seeker receives a feedback by an expert about their application and skills and can also benchmark their own skills against the other applicants too via our platform.

If it sounds interesting here you might find a few more details:

And if you want to test out platform get in touch; write me at amleto@fluttr.in or visit www.fluttr.in.

You too can help us making recruitment #awesome.

Trust is only irrelevant on a private blockchain if you can guarantee control of all systems within the network at all times. Which if you're a bank and you have many branches around the world that is no small feat.

Also, you may be a private blockchain run by multiple organizations (multiple banks for instance).

But for argument sake say trust-less is not a selling feature. Immutability is. And yes, immutability can be achieved with traditional database systems, enforcing it with cryptography adds another layer.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no, it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wand'ring barque,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
