Well, law firms commonly do some amount of pro bono work as a public service and reputation builder. I'd be interested to see a firm or two donate legal support to smaller companies fighting trolls - it'd be a show of good faith and might immediately knock out low-powered trolls.

Newegg has showed what happens when these cases actually get fought, and that's something a firm could offer to build popularity and support.
Thank you for your help, Sir.
I did see tiefvision, yes. Somehow, their approach didn't quite work for me, although that was the first attempt. Maybe it's good when you have only few classes of images ("only dresses") and modest amounts of training data.

Presumably it refers to building relationships with various hosting companies around the world so Kaspersky can get datacenters to seize servers for them without court orders.

This is relatively common practice for many DCs, if you're a "bad" client they'll privately hand your stuff to AV companies for analysis.

I also guess this includes practical advice like "FFS never turn abusive customers servers off, they could be encrypted"
A company using the skyhigh profits it makes from it's market dominance to fund academic research arguing that it doesn't abuse it's market dominance? Perfect.

Doing a seed round now.

Ultimately the terms are going to depend on investor consensus, but my strong preference is to go uncapped w/ discount.

Having a cap is an incentive for me to "grow until I'm 6 months away from X, then focus on raising instead". For some seed investors an early valuation & equity conversion may be desirable, but I'd rather "grow until I'm 6 months away from needing funds to (grow faster|survive)".

Having no cap, on the other hand, encourages me to stay lean, grow quickly & ask for money only when it has the greatest value. That's behaviour which may not be friendly to opportunistic short-term VCs looking to get a quick valuation bump, but which is strongly correlated with long-term success and eventual home-runs.

I want to give a discount because seed investors are taking a big risk on me, they deserve it.
The notion that a given multinational billion-dollar syndicate is not going to engage in the behavior characteristic of multinational billion-dollar syndicates because it's run by nerds instead of suits seems, at the very least, suspect.

Second one was a priced seed but honestly it was more like a classic Series A. One after that was a larger priced Series A. Second round we put together a board, didn't do that for the Safe round which was intentional on my end (instead we had a great informal meeting cadence)

> I realize my experience is anecdotal

FWIW I'm not totally convinced that the paper isn't also anecdotal. They selected for people who would agree to have their internet activity spied on in exchange for extra credit, and then from that group selected only for people using the internet -- not their computers, but the internet! -- in more than half the lectures. And did all of this in a large enrollment undergraduate gen ed intro course with lectures that lasted two hours.

> Do you think that everyone who disagrees with you has spent less time considering these sorts of questions than you have?

Of course not, that's why I qualified that statement; to be clear that I was speaking about the general public, not those who hold a contrary worldview that merely disagree with me.

> You may be correct and everyone else may be wrong

I actually don't think it's a matter of "correct" or "incorrect" so much as one of values. I value individual liberty over all else, while others are more utilitarian in their approach.

> but I don't think it's accurate to dismiss other people as not having considered things as much as you have.

Of course not - that's why I enjoy talking about political and economics. One or both of the people involved are likely to learn something in the process :)
There seems to be a lot of that at play in white-shoe firms. Perhaps less so now than when those positions were guaranteed for life, but some of the highest-powered lawyers I've known didn't have much intuitive sense that they were actually affecting people.
When I was in College I would take notes using a notebook and pad and paper. I audited some classes with my laptop using latex but most of the time I used a notebook. Also, sometimes I would just go to class without a notebook and get the information that way. It also helped that I didn't have a smartphone with Cellular data half of the time I was in school.

NICE was founded to reduce that postcode lottery by creating a base set of what is nationally achievable. Over time, that set grows. It's grossly unfair to misrepresent it as some kind of net-negative body, or to suggest that doctors won't treat a patient. Indeed one of the effects is to encourage research into more affordable treatments. This is in antithesis to the US system where, for example, the drug companies are incentivized to R&D long-term treatments for symptoms, not cures for diseases.

I like the incentives that NICE creates instead. Over time, it's a strong net national benefit.

The failure to include such a mechanism in the ACA seems more to do with US politics than any intrinsic characteristic of single-payer systems.

The NHS has apparently been under-funded for decades, far too long a period to call it a "crisis". I would maintain it is simply grossly inefficient at spending the money it does receive, due to horrible management. Again, this is not an intrinsic characteristic of such systems.

That's a fair question... I've been building web based applications for over two decades now... I've been a fan of JS since before the "Good Parts" book, though that spelled out a lot of what I already knew. There are a LOT of developers that use and know a little about JS.

However, the vast majority of "JavaScript Developers" don't know JavaScript all that well. Most haven't taken time to learn the newer features and/or syntax. Many try to write JavaScript like it's Jave or C#, or whatever else instead of using it for its' strengths. Not to mention performance implications.

Most of the time a lot of that doesn't matter. Most apps have enough performance to handle their load, and if they can scale to 4-5x the users with minimal relative extra cost, it never will. But when you do need those extra bits, it helps a lot.

I've worked on a few node/c# apps where each ms counts... getting an extra 10k requests/second on a large server, or reducing latency by 10ms is a win. Not all things are equal. One should evaluate each use case.

To each their own... I only dabbled in RoR and wasn't much into it. Ruby seems like a great next gen Perl imho, and I thought that was cool. I just didn't like the everything in the box RoR experience. I lived through the early ASP.Net and didn't want a repeat of that. I like the lego blocks approach that Node and .Net Core are taking. I try to avoid many of the bigger pieces/sets.
Structural and Semantic Deficiencies in Systemd (2015)
They're critiquing the analogy to nuclear weapons. Patent-weapons can be voided by altering the underlying legal framework, but nuclear-weapons can't be voided by changing the underlying rules of physics.

...Or at least, not yet.
That's my biggest issue with it: tendrils branching out into all the other aspects of the system. Systemd won't always be the state of the art, and we'll want to replace it someday.

Replacing SysV init? Relatively easy. Replacing Systemd, all the ancillary programs, desktop environments that it ties into, etc? It's a ton of work. One of the arguments I've heard repeated is that it's all very modular, but that doesn't seem to be true in practice.

>> Slowing down to a pace comfortable for you means, at least in my classes, that you'll miss the next thing in the presentation.

That's exactly the point: you get a free exercise in divided attention, plus you are forced to digest your notes to only essentials, not full transcript of the lecture. That process is what makes handwritten notes superior - it forces you to focus and think, not just mindlessly type.

And for things that you didn't have time to note you still have a textbook. Handwritten notes are just outline, a basis to build upon.

>I didn't believe this as a child in the '80s, but in the last 10 years at least, Putin's Russia has been freaking horrifying to me.

In what way, and what's "comically sinister"? Russia mostly deals with stuff in their borders. The "worst" they did was intervene in a neighbor-hooding part of Ukraine, with 60% citizenry of Russian ethnicity, who even had a referendum for preferring to unite with Russia, and that only after the legitimate government of that country was toppled by a ragtag coalition that included bona-fide neo-nazis. Hardly the stuff of "world domination"...

The US in the last 20 years has occupied 2 sovereign countries, bombed several others, and turned most of them from stable regimes into hell holes of civil war and militant islamist. Plus has been pushing NATO all the way into Russia's borders (and all the global surveillance stuff, drone killings, Guantanamo, etc). And to pre-empt any knee jerk reactions, that's not "whataboutism" (sic), that's perspective.

In their internal policies, they are what they always were: liberal in some aspects, conservative in others (e.g. religion, homosexuality, etc). But making them into bad guys for that stuff is rich when half of one's own country agree with those two, or up until last 1-2 decades most states had laws against "sodomy", or there's still things like the death penalty or the worlds lead (with huge difference from the second) in incarcerations.

I love the US (country and people) and haven't even ever been to Russia (though I like their literature, spirit and oddball society), but as an outside observer, can't stand the hypocrisy.

Why be sorry? It's an admission of guilt and weakness. Take a page out of Donald Trump's book - never be sorry for anything. You do what you do and the others can deal with it. That gets you the presidency in today's world, it seems. I don't even want to get political here but the US elections have shown me how you get ahead in life.
I know the context of the PDF is a little different, but towards making the sentiment more broadly applicable, I'd suggest that an ability to own up to a mistake of any sort is a very useful professional "skill". Lacking that skill, it can be much more difficult to correct a problem before it becomes an issue (You hesitate, because a change implies the pre-change situation was "wrong") Once there's an issue, it also makes the cleanup much harder, more awkward, etc.

If you practice being comfortable saying something like, "I'm sorry, I overlooked X. I'm fixing it now, and will do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again" then your professional and personal life may be just a tad smoother. All of this implies, and requires, a mindset that is self-aware enough to evaluate itself. That can be the difficult part, that requires regular practice and resistance of instincts to go on the defensive and justify something, even if it was "right" at the time, if circumstances now show otherwise.
If this is what you want me to respond to:

> You could even, if you wanted to, make an argument that this has some things in common with what was historically called indentured labor. But to use a charged phrase as a rhetorical weapon in an ideological battle, which you clearly are doing, is the wrong kind of comment for HN.

You are right, I could have absolutely talked about the history of indentured labor in America - but I don't think that was germane to the implications of the Regulation or the implications for the current (sorry) state of Guest Labor in America which what this discussion was about.

Regarding:
> The bigger problem is the one you didn't respond to. You're showing up in an HN thread with a single-purpose account armed with seasoned ideological talking points. That's very much not what this site is for, regardless of which battle it is and which side you're on.

I am a geek, who has frequented HN for a long time, and before that digg and before that slashdot (I still go there BTW).

I usually don't post very much.

And "seasoned talking points" - cmon. Doing my research before shooting my mouth off - is a GOOD THING and I would like to think that I am elevating the level of discourse.

Infact everyone else (except projectramo - who I did mishandle and doesn't disagree with my characterization of H-1B/L-1 workers) who has weighed in seems to think my comments are very apropos:

Yeah, I was afraid it would come off that way and tried to soften it by qualifying my last statement. Apparently, it didn't work.

> Do you have any historic evidence that countries with smaller governments are wealthier & more efficient than countries where government spending is a large proportion of the GDP?

I didn't make that assertion. All I was trying to do is say that from my perspective most of the points raised in the article appear to be caused by government involvement, not by capitalism.

I looked at PosgREST for a backend for my Startup. Documentation was confusing, I couldn't see a coherent way to use it securely and the examples of other sites on Github were confusing. GraphQL at this time seems higher quality and also would be a good feature for PostgREST.
I disagree that you have to get them young... but I do think that math classes need to start involving proof-based work rather than calculation-based work by the time students hit middle school because it's such an explicit exercise of critical thinking muscles.

Recalling my own experiences with middle school and high school, I saw my peers frequently fall into the trap of trying to memorize pipelines of steps while we were learning algebra, geometry, trig, pre-calc, and then calculus. The ones who "didn't get it" would fall apart to varying degrees when confronted with problems where you had to think in terms of combining toolboxes of strategies to unfamiliar but analogous patterns, but I don't necessarily think it was their fault, because they didn't know better and rote memorization had worked consistently until this point.

I often feel a bit sad about it because I did a ton of proof based stuff outside of class (as a mathlete), and that was a HUGE part of my development in logical reasoning, intellectual rigor, and critical thinking.
>When people deflect criticism of their country by saying some other country is just as bad, they're totally missing the point. Saying that everyone does shitty things still doesn't make it OK for anyone to do shitty things.

No, but if one's country does 10x the shitty things, they don't get to single out the other country as "evil".

>If all you've got is whataboutism, you are literally trying to defend indefensible behavior by pointing out instances of other countries engaging in indefensible behavior.

And if you don't see things in perspective and weight them, then you single out some "indefensible behavior", and ignore other because its by the side one happens to belong too.

Countries, like humans, aren't perfect. But we don't get to pick and chose what's indefensible pointing to single person for what many do. Especially if we always conveniently point to the other person.
Ask HN: Did you (attempt to) switch from Backbone to Vue.js?
Most of the comparisons I've found between Backbone and Vue.js are high-level, without insights from practical long-term usage on both, eg
https://www.slant.co/versus/32/11378/~backbone_vs_vue-js

We're happily using Backbone, but considering Vue in order not to be left behind with maintained frameworks/tooling.

What insights could you share from switching (attempts) ?

What do you use instead of models/collections?

Considering productivity on your project, which framework between the two do you prefer, and why?

Thanks!

Again, that claim is easily refuted by considering the state of medical spending in the US.

Unless by 'government' you mean only the US government. Many other governments are daily demonstrating their ability to deliver more affordable and cost-effective healthcare than the US.
This is a really good question. The most recent case I could find here is the one Rayiner cited, Saenz v. Roe. If you read it, both the opinion and the dissent grapple explicitly with college tuition.

The reasoning goes, it seems, that only bona fide citizens of (say) California will consume welfare in California (you don't move to California to consume California welfare benefits in Ohio). But college education benefits are "portable"; you could conceivably move to California solely for the purpose of accumulating the benefits of a UC education, then take it back with you to Ohio.

Further, the way in-state tuition benefits are structured, the residency requirement is (supposedly) carefully tailored to address just that scenario, by imposing relatively short durational requirements on residency, rather than evidence of permanent residency.

It's tricky to piece out how health care would fit into this rubric. Depending on the condition, you might move to California to benefit from their health care and return to Ohio when you're cured, or you might need to stay in California indefinitely to treat a manageable illness.
How much, exactly, is "society's" fair share of someone else's money?

This is the problem. There is this assumption that taxes are used to care for the destitute. Absolutely, some amount of taxes do go to that end.

However, I've worked enough government contracts to know that the vast majority of that money goes to providing middle-class incomes for people in government who otherwise would not be making that sort of money because of a distinct lack of intelligence, competence, or diligence.
That's a weird assumption to make but I use Linux for both my work and personal laptop as well as my work desktop.
