I think you misunderstood what he wrote... He was saying that it's hard to compete in F2P unless you use the same scummy tactics that everyone else does. That's why he made Clicker Heroes 2 as a non-F2P game.
>No. Those other perspectives are just as valid, if not more.

As far as the business is concerned - not really. To the individuals? Well... this is why there is such a divide depending which perspective someone takes... it's a "clear cut" answer depending what kind of perspective you have and whether or not you're assuming "in good faith" or not.

>Given that millions of businesses are started while one party is married, and don't have this problem, I don't consider it to be a valid concern.

Millions of businesses have or don't have rules against dating. Some allow dating, others don't allow dating vertically, others don't allow dating vertically in one's department, and others don't allow dating period.

Just because some businesses take a risk doesn't mean it isn't a risk. It's a matter of how you attempt to mitigate that risk. As others have mentioned - buyback stocks under certain circumstances such as divorce are the "usual way" of mitigating this kind of risk.

>And what's the wife's protection in that case?

I didn't say she gets any - or that she should even sign. Just that asking her to sign is not some sort of one-sided trust breaking unless you're assuming it's only being done in bad faith. (ie. so he can cheat on her and if she leaves him because of it she's left out in the cold)

>Except now, there are no consequences for the husband being unfaithful.

Except losing his wife. Sure - it's less of a consequence than losing his wife and half his money... but if the consequence of losing her isn't enough to ensure faithfulness then that should be enough reason for her to leave.
While the product this is content marketing for (Mixnode) looks interesting I was hoping for more technical details given the title.
Long-term it is hard to justify a conclusion that cryptocurrencies will fail as a technology. It's too big of a leap forward in too many industries. Short term, bitcoin might move too slowly and be surpassed by a competitor, or big money might manipulate the market and take advantage of people who have no idea what they're doing. I see these as issues that will diminish and fade over time as the technology matures. The solution is to stay attentive, invest with caution and hold on through the booms and busts. Not hard to do, all said and done, though I understand why many fear it.

I’ve always wondered: is it not possible to simply “unplug” some of the turbines from the grid? Would an “unplugged” turbine that was still spinning result in damage to its self?
>An iPhone will be unusable within 5 years no matter what.

your comment makes a lot more sense if you substitute "50 years". This is what a 50 year old LV suitcase looks like:

This is what a 2012 iPhone looks like:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5

they're about equally useable today (2017/early 2018). After 50 years, though, the iPhone would be a joke. (unusable.) I think the iPhone 5 isn't even close to "unusable" after 5 years.
God i absolutely hated this kind of "this should be obvious" statement made by professors in lectures.

It absolutely poisens the learning atmosphere. And after 20 minutes of lecturing on a difficult topic they ask if anyone has any questions and wonder why noone raises their hand or says anything.
Yep! I also like the fact that it's just plaintext with no interspersed meme/pictures. Just straight information.
What kind of energy consumer adjusts their electricity usage based on price?

Seems like this doesn't apply to households - people will just switch stuff on when they need something, they probably don't even monitor prices. I'm guessing this is good for energy-intensive industries that have large battery storage capacity?

High-level programming is only possible once we admit that what we want to do is programming. Too often there's a perception that "configuration" is easier or safer than programming, even when that configuration is Turing-complete.

Unfortunately, HardenedBSD is nothing more but a PR campaign from a one person who feels rejected due to poor code quality and bad reviews from FreeBSD developers who expect a bit more than just throwing random patches around and saying 'here, I fixed all these security problems with three lines of code'. I would recommend taking HardenedBSD and its announcements with a huge portion of salt.
Yep. Relatively recent product of the American public high school system here [0], and soon-to-be product of the public university system. If anything I had to write many more papers in my high school classes than in my college ones. I don't know what planet these guys are living on.

> Well, the night before, I studied probably pretty close to an hour." And with that the scales fell from my eyes.

> "An hour? Do you realize that when I was in college it was common to start studying for big exams a week or more before?"

I suspect the professor has forgotten just how much college students have on their plates at any given time. An Intro to Philosophy class may not be everyone's top priority.

I am just an Angel investor, but my favourite is "How are you going to make a profit?"

It is amazing how many entrepreneurs have either no idea or such a bad response to this question that it shows they have not thought about it for more than 5 minutes. I don’t even mind “no idea” as long as it is backed up by all the things they have considered.
1. It depends on your jurisdiction. Often they are not clearly defined. In part because there are so many possibilities and it's difficult to write rules to handle all of them. This is where judges come in. If you go to court, it will depend on the judge and their take on the situation.

That aside, my original point stands. You sign a marriage contract and the state legislature can change the terms of the contract without your consent.

2. Could you elaborate? I couldn't understand the point you made. As far as I'm aware you don't sign a contract when you drive a car.
Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing. I just plugged in the numbers I got from Google and hoped they'd paint a picture.
I've been going through this for maybe 5+ years, as regular readers may have noticed. What surprises me is that apparently mystified 'good' ideologies' don't automatically displace 'bad' ones. I'd have thought that someone with his experience and insight would have engaged with the science of group dynamics and so on.

As a leftie, I think part of the problem is that when the USSR went down to defeat, instead of the internet being developed as a tool of democracy it was developed as one of commerce instead, and much of the developed world reacted to the (apparent) failure of socialism by declaring victory and going shopping. Turns out that people find the idea of consumption as the end of society meaningless and unsatisfying.
I mean, we are in agreement. There are just systems like mobile SoC running platforms like Android where you desperately want some sort of network booting scheme for development because you are constantly rebuilding parts of the software, where the storage options for the part are highly constrained, slow and unreliable (like the RPi) and the performance and architecture necessitate cross-building.
Hi, I just checked your site and I noticed you are improving the UI of the web site as I suggested you on Twitter a while ago: now there are images on the pages “check your email for link” and “thank you” page after a subscription. Nice!

Furthermore, about the photos you added on the home page, having good photos of the products you are selling (like examples of older boxes) is a huge improvement. IMHO you did the right thing having them shot professionally.
Most of your competitors already had photos of candies, and I finally subscribed to your service mostly because I finally could see in advance examples of what (and how many of them) I will get in the mail.

So, keep going and best of luck! Bye

I’ve never encountered this before, actually. This is a behavior probably linked to the unusual amount of traffic/entries generated by HN.
A deeper question would be: Are we part of our environment and ought we sometimes fight to keep our location not just our social position if that is a strong feeling for us?

It is possible some people belong where they are and relocation is a compromise for the weak at heart.

>Maybe the moral of the story should be “leave bad roles more quickly and stay in good roles longer”, but that’s so obvious that it’s not even worth stating

Is that not inherently obvious? Good things are... good, and bad things are not?
I had a similar experience: I went to a very good, Catholic college prep school and I wrote a lot of papers well before setting foot in college. In some ways, it was more challenging than any subsequent education.

However, this is not the normal educational experience of many in America. Outside of private and (good) public schools, what's described here is probably the rule, not the exception.

An Introduction to Microservice Based Architecture Through Story – Part 2
A TL;DR for the apparently irony impaired: The letter writer is a self-described humorist and appears to be doing an elaborate “kids these days” joke. Giveaways ate things like the 10-second pause for “cats, cat’s...” and the lovely ‘“What did you do in English class?" I asked. Answers: Listened to records, watched videos, talked about movies and current events.’
Don't do that. HardenedBSD is rather a one man project, who's patches have been reviewed and rejected by FreeBSD developers due to bad quality, poor design and lack of cooperation in bringing them to FreeBSD expected standards. It seems like a PR campaign from people who can write some C, but don't have much credibility in writing secure operating systems or production ready code. Beside the quality of the proposed solutions, there was nothing in the FreeBSD project stopping the code from being accepted. Wether the bad ASLR implementation or no implementation is worse, it's up to you to decide, but I'll vote for quality first.
All the people mentioned have one thing in common: they got jobs. Not the best-paying jobs, yes, but proper jobs. Hard enough to move jobs in a state - before doing this, you should have a job secured in your destination, and given they're living on the streets they most likely lack the money for days of traveling and job applications, not to mention that moving itself costs considerable time and money - but for moving out of state, stuff gets even more complex and expensive. For example teachers might need a retraining due to different curricula, and nurses, policemen and construction workers due to different regulatory schemes...

It is unconnected, so it will not dissipate anything (shield). Depending on whether or not it is positioned on a wave node, it will either be a passive reflector or director.

It won't be a satellite dish as the comment thread on the page mentions, though, which is both a passive reflector and a focusing device, whose curvature requires at least some level of precision to be of any help.

Yeah, some devices can be extremely noisy. If you have a Chromecast or Google Home, for instance, turn Guest Mode off -- it creates a hidden network on the same channel as your AP.
The machines you find around the EU are completely different from the ones in the article.

The EU machines just scan your passport, including RFID data, and take a photo of your face. All of this is then sent to a border guard in a booth who manually matches your face to your passport.

The “efficiency” boost comes from allowing a single border guard to check 4-5 passports simultaneously, without having the delay that comes from waiting for the next person to walk forward and present a passport.

In Heathrow, London, the digital gates process people much faster than normal gates, and have half the staff. Unfortunately they are a little confusing for non-tech literate people who often get stuck.

>> There is such a heavy dose of luck in success. There are those that will give one thousand percent, and because the roll of the dice wasn't perfect, nothing materializes. They have as much love for the game development as I have... they've worked as hard as I have... but just didn't get a kiss from Lady Luck. And it sucks. It just isn't fair that they want to create more than their next breathe, but can't catch a good break to devote time to it. They have to look over at those that have the privaledge to take multiple rolls of the dice, eat their cake and have it too, and if everything still fails, they get bailed out by mommy and daddy.

This is exactly how I feel.
[re-parenting comment]

Not surprising, even looking at some of the appalling written English posted here on HN (a community which, you would think, is educated to an above-average level). Nobody cares. Plus, if you actually point out incorrect spelling, grammar, or usage here, you’re instantly shouted down with cries of “language evolves!”

[Edit: Looks like the “Language Evolves” crowd is already here!]
'Is this kind of thing really common?'

In the UK it is, the cats example would stump a lot of people.

A classic here is 'its' and 'it's'.
A lot of these has been already addressed by a security menu in the FreeBSD installer, since settings and/or mitigations for mentioned issues have been possible in FreeBSD but have not been enabled by default due to POLA (project's rule of Priciple Of Least Astonishment) in order to prevent users expecting some behaviour to be surprised by changes. Those who knew about these could always enable those, and those who didn't now have option to do it via the default installer.

Many do, obviously. But from a societal perspective, why should they have to? California is doing well economically, particularly the bay area. In a time where the country seems short for good jobs, shouldn't we be pushing as hard as possible to let people move into and stay in areas that are successful?

To add on to what the other poster said. If I don't pay all of the taxes that I should and we file jointly, my wife is just as liable as I am. If I file bankruptcy, my wife will be affected.

I grew up in Santa Cruz county across the mountain from Silicon Valley. I used to wake up on the weekend and go on a walk on the cliffs, or mountain bike in the hills. I’m living in Silicon Valley now and it’s hard knowing I’ll have to spend so much time in the office to afford a home in this area that I’ll struggle to actually spend time enjoying the natural beauty here.

But I am in love with this area and I want to stay.
I could be wrong but I was under the impression certain sec folks objected to a lot of his patches because they just are not sold on if ASLR really adds any benefit. Or any benefit vs the complexity it adds. Correct me if I’m wrong. I know Theo has bought into it. I just recall in FreeBSD it wasn’t accepted if it really fixes anything.
That "backing" is nonsensical. A currency is a proxy for the wealth in an economy. All that using gold or silver to "back" it does is cause the price of that commodity to rise to reflect the size of the entire economy.

As such, the "intrinsic" value of the commodity is irrelevant - it may as well be paper. Which is why that's what it now is.

College students also frequently work.

Four decades ago, you really could pay for college with a minimum wage summer job. Now, it would require far more than a year's full time work.

That might be a solution for them, but it is not a solution for us and our society. If the cost-of-living-adjusted wages aren't high enough to give the providers of such essential services housing, then that's a problem we need to fix regardless.
So: I know this is true. My kids were privileged to attend one of the better large public high schools in Chicagoland, and I'm not indifferent to that situation.

But that's not really the argument this little piece is making, because it's arguing that incoming college students are underprepared by high school, and demographically, college students as a cohort tend to come from the better high schools anyways.
You can ignore what people say and just look at the evidence, which in this case is pretty clear. Segwit made LN a lot easier, the software is here and working, the fact that they can send a) multihop tx's b) across multiple different clients is a substantial signal about the project's progress.

There are items with inherent value, like gold. It's value is inherent because

Besides electronics, historically the only reasons gold has been valuable was that there was limited quantity and people could trade it for needed goods and services and that people could make jewelry from it. But if tomorrow a large gold deposit was found doubling the amount of supply or people stopped accepting gold in exchange for goods, it wouldn't be as valuable. The price of gold doesnt reflect its utilitarian value.

If you want to save something in a life threatening situation, that's a fairly reasonable choice.

Also if you think it's a reasonable choice, and the next person thinks it's a crazy choice, that supports my point instead of contradicting it. (And yes, I planned that out!)
