Sales people get paid largely on commission for "transactions" ... it should be possible for open or closed source software developers to be paid this way as well.

There should be an option that pays open- (or closed-) source software developers for business value derived, where metrics (representing aspects of "remunerable transactions") from developed software use are gathered, and the company using the software pays based on some formula related to those metrics. The classic way to do this of course is to provide the software via some metered and billed SaaS API (users pay monthly base + tiered charges per network I/O, storage, CPU-hour, document-processed, etc., or a combination thereof), but that can have adverse performance impacts and can introduce larger integration headaches.

In an ideal setup, the "contractor" adapting and deploying the open- (or closed-) source software for a particular company's use also gets a cut of the fees, just like the originators of the software.

This structure would be ideal for smaller companies that can't afford or might not want to pay the full up-front cost for the development and/or configuration and/or deployment of software they need ...

* these companies don't have a lot of money to spend, but independent developers might be willing to develop (permanently- or temporarily-)closed-source software for the companies' use cases ... and to get their compensation based mostly on a "commission structure"

* the company needs might be already satisfied by existing open-source software, but the company may not have expertise in configuring, adapting, and deploying the software -- in this case the deploying expert would hopefully share their fees with the open source software originators

* agreements could sunset the "acquiring" company's exclusive use of this software so the developers can start selling the software elsewhere as closed- or open-source software

There are surely many complications to a model like this, and perhaps can easily work only in a "high-trust" environment ... but it lets developers with a tolerance for risk avoid the illiquid equity trap of stock compensation, while letting companies build their service for less and issue less stock. There are surely scenarios where this would be attractive to larger companies as well.

I'm currently exploring starting a company that incorporates these concepts, I'd appreciate some discussion if this interests you. (You can find instructions to derive my email address from my profile.)

Many of them are social outcasts, naturally they're sensitive. Then someone's attacking them in the one place they find comfort, simply because they aren't popular. For not fitting in and not knowing "the right way to dress or act", as if such a thing existed.

Of course they were angry.

It was high school all over again. The popular kids attacking the outcasts. Only this time the outcasts fought back and for the first time the popular kids got a taste of bullying.

I'm not saying it's right. Bullying is never good. But GamerGate is a drop in the ocean of bullying. Why does it get so much attention? Could it be because it's a rare case of the outcasts fighting back? Or because it's a rare case of the media being bullied?

Getting to space is a relatively peaceful experience. It's the coming back down part that can be a bit more intense since 'aggressive atmospheric braking' is one of the most efficient forms of reentry. To put some numbers here the Space Shuttle only hit about 3g during exit. For comparison roller coasters can briefly hit around 6gs.

Technology like SpaceX's BFR could potentially bring the g forces even lower. As its current design entails in orbit refueling, efficiency in launch is not all that important. The cost of fuel, relative to the costs involved in space flight, is negligible.

The relay attack is very old and is very commonly used to steal all kinds of cars, here in Europe it's mostly Toyota.

You do not need the key to be present in the car once it's started up. It's a feature of all key-less cars. For example, one would not want the car to suddenly stop if the key's battery dies on the go.

So, once you start the engine, it will run. It will complain and beep if the key is not present in the car, but it will run.

They suggest to use a steering lock to avoid this, which would indeed help, but it's quite cumbersome. A more convenient way is to store your key in a special keyless key protector "pouch" when you're not driving your car, which is basically a Faraday Cage, blocking it's signal.

> If Tesla had decided to stop with the model S and X, they'd likely be profitable right now.

But they can't. A car manufacturer generally has to renew its models every ~10 years with an overall mid-life.
Tesla would be profitable if it had a net cashflow including these renewals. I'm not sure it's the case right now because it's difficult to differentiate between capex like building new assembly lines or R&D on core technologies and cost purely associated with the new models.

A friend got slapped with a fine over this. He's a foreign resident, and he changed hotels while on a trip. That information is bundled up and sent to the authorities, and they cross-checked him with the address he put on his travel form. Thousand baht fine.

FWIW, I brought this same friend to the police station where I'm a registered resident in Shanghai, so he could stay with me on a 72-hour visa. At the airport, he was told that if he doesn't register and it's discovered, it could affect his ability to get a visa in the future. This was only a few months ago.

If the key battery dies, there is a spot on the dashboard that is NFC-equipped, so you just need to get the key next to it and it will ID regardless of the battery state.

We already have widespread gambling. Betting on horse races is an American tradition, is legal in virtually every state both live and online. Lotteries are also legal in virtually every state and heavily promoted by the state on every medium. You can't watch a tv show or listen to the radio for more then a few minutes before hearing a jingle or an ad to get someone to "gamble" on the lotto (which has far, far lowers odds of winning than a sports bet). Much like the "debate" about legalizing online poker, the "debate" over sports gambling has far more to do with the already legal entrenched gambling interests trying to prevent any competition.
Why are 4K TVs cheaper than 4K monitors (same size) ?

Something to do with marketing and how the two businesses differ (TVs B2C, monitors B2B)?

Or are there actual major differencies in the tech? Like what panel is used or something like that?
You didn't actually say _why_ monitors are better for the author's use case: programming. "A much nicer experience" - how? in what way? is this quantifiable in any way?

I code on a pair of Samsung 4K 55" Curved TVs, and enjoy them immensely. What am I missing out on with your IPS advice? I don't do graphical/visual work, and you didn't mention anything specific about why a high-end monitor is better. I am also not sure what use case you're championing, nor what your employees use their expensive monitors for.

Would be curious what your use cases are, and what the differences are that you've experienced vs 4K TVs as monitors. I moved up from 6 x 27" 1080P monitors and like this arrangement far better. No fussing with multiple video cards, fewer bezels, and gained the equivelant of 2 1080P screens into the bargain. All for $1300, 1/4 of the prior setup cost.

Your assumption is incorrect. It will run until the car is turned off. If it behaved as you're assuming it would be wildly unsafe, imagine someone inadvertently dropping off a passenger who has the key with them in a purse or jacket pocket, then stopping briefly on a bridge without shoulders, or a railroad crossing.
I think many people have a more spammy mailbox than their facebook notifications.
So now when you are on the highway you need to suddenly search your bag for the key so you can insert it.

> Have you checked that? My assumption was that it will shut down the engine once the speed drops to zero.

Not in any implementation I've heard of (and it would be quite dangerous and irresponsible). Actually, one story I've heard from pretty much everyone I know owning a keyless car is that the driver drops of a passenger that unknowingly had they key all along (typically a spouse). The driver then drives along, fills up for gas or make some other stop and then can't start the car anymore because the key is with the long gone passenger.

This is stupid to say the management node is free, you're just paying for it in another way. Now if they said they were able to run the node so cost effectively that it's just included in the hourly node cost, then that's a plus.
I had a '94 Corvette that did this. Probably to save on battery life. There was a tiny ball that moved around in the key fob. The fob wouldn't transmit the "hey, I'm here" signal unless it was moving.

Not sure what the tech was. Not an accelerometer per se, but still motion detection that worked pretty well.

I've heard that claim a couple of times now, but never read or heard experts in the field say anything like that. Do you have a source?

Of course, you can do fancy things with neural networks without fully understanding how they work, or why they behave like they do. But my impression is that common applications, like image classification, are quite well-understood now.
"unsafe" is a C# feature. Verification is a CLR feature. And they are only related in a sense that things that you can do inside "unsafe" blogs generally produce unverifiable assemblies. But the reverse is not true, you don't have to use an "unsafe" block to consume an unverifiable assembly.

Nor does "unsafe" breaks verification by itself - it's only the specific features that you might use inside (like pointer arithmetic) that would do so, and even then not all of them. For example, C# requires "unsafe" for any use of sizeof() that is not known at compile-time, and for which it needs to emit the sizeof IL opcode. So e.g. sizeof(int) is okay, but sizeof(IntPtr) is unsafe; also, sizeof all structs are considered unsafe. However, the IL opcode for sizeof is not unverifiable, and so such an assembly would pass verification, despite requiring "unsafe" in C#.

> People have been working on electric cars basically forever and it's been ongoing

As said, my comment was not specifically about electric cars, that was just an example. Any other example would do. It would be naive to think that powerful interests have never succeeded in halting progress.

> Having a 'Central Bank' is not a drawback in the opinion of most people - this 'decentralization' stuff is technology/libertarian ideology, nothing more.

Most people do not know or care about this. Whether that is good or bad for them is debatable.

> A well managed Central Bank is preferable to a fairly strict currency with arbitrary control mechanisms. An economy that loses the ability to have monetary policy ... well ... loses a lot.

Sure, amongst other things:

- the ability to debase savings of people and force them into brainless consumption, ensuring everybody is playing the rat race.

- the ability to privatise profits and socialize losses (see financial crisis)

And other niceties.

> The 'problems' that BTC is trying to solve are not real problems.

You are just not seeing the problems, as nobody could see clearcase's problems pre-git. And, more importantly, you are not seeing the possibilities.
I have to agree with you here. Although an interaction via Facebook doesn´t come close to a personal one, I still think it is beneficial in some ways. Of course especially when you´re far away from the people you want to connect with. I use Facebook for work and personally. But for me, it has become more of a news feed than actual communication with friends. My inner circle and acquaintances I tend to have regular contact with both have my phone number and can either call me or Whatsapp me.
> I mean you cannot (at least to my knowledge) buy burgers with gold/ETFs/Stocks, doesn't the same apply to Bitcoin?

Gold is a store of value and ETFs/Stocks are investment vehicles. Bitcoin is designed to be used as a currency.

I think the error here is in thinking, well, inside the proverbial box. My question is serious an does have lots of valid answers.

For example, I did not say the answer had to be a passive investment. Flipping homes could do very well given one is willing to put in the effort.

I have a friend who decided to sell a product found in most homes in the US. He didn't even make it. Armed with a phone and a laptop he turned an initial investment of $50K into about three million dollars in approximately two years. He probably worked 16 hours a day, seven days a week. He is now in the process of selling the business for many millions.

It's interesting to see how many people are suggesting bitcoin.
