This is a major issue with streaming services. Netflix usually doesn't offer even English subtitles to an English-speaking movie if you're in a non-English speaking country! At least with DVDs you could rip it and add subtitles yourself if needed.
From the license itself, it seems like you do need to include the license contents within the derivative work somewhere. Since "Derivative works" includes "Object" (compiled) projects, and 4a states:

> You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a copy of this License

They're pretty clear on attribution being in the source only in 4c:

> You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works
Is German Netflix that bad? In the USA, I can choose the audio and subtitle language pretty easily; it's even supported on their Plex app and so forth.

Example: I just watched "Dark" and it defaulted to English dub, but it just took a second to switch it to German with English subtitles.
To me it's just stop eating AND drinking at least 2 hrs before going to bed. My most reliable source is "burn the fat feed the muscle" book that helped me to endorse the healthy way of living this life...Here is the quote:

"I strongly recommend moving the last intake for the day as far away from bedtime as
you can. 3-4 hours is ideal, but at least 2-3. This increases the length of the "fast" which
in reality nighttime is - broken by breakfast. Using this method consistently is one of the
most effective ways to lower body fat - and it doesn’t take a lot of effort"
Why are proprietary drivers a blocker? As long as you expose the same gRPC interface, your customers don't need to know what happens behind the scenes. You could have an FPGA or a Beowulf cluster of Raspberry Pis hiding.
P2P forced the industry to adapt and now we have good streaming services, but the content selection is nowhere as good as what you can find on torrent sites.

What the Popcorn Time devs did was simply amazing. It had a Netflix-like interface plus a huge selection of content that you could watch right away. The industry should learn from these guys.

Just make your content available, easy to obtain and people will pay for it. It's that simple. There's no reason, in 2018, that I cannot go online and legally stream/download any movie/TV show I want. Classics, old movies, 90s movies, whatever. Just make it available at a reasonable price, in a easy to use UI and people will pay. How is that hard to understand?
> "My company requires excellent communication and writing skills, so would you mind talking a 5h grade spelling and grammar test?"

That's not comparable. A total whiteboard interview might take several hours, but it increases significantly in complexity from basic FizzBuzz.

A more comparable analogy would be asking them to merely edit a few paragraphs for grammatical mistakes, or something similarly trivial in whatever domain you'd like that should take fewer than 10 minutes if the person has literally any meaningful facility with the work.

Like the person you're responding to, I'll say this: I deeply dislike whiteboard coding culture. But of the things I dislike about whiteboard coding, I dislike dead simple sanity checks the least.
I grew up w/ divorced parents and generally most of my friends also had divorced parents. I don't think the divorce as such is such a big deal, its really whether or not both parents keep "showing up". I'd take divorced parents that show up vs married-absentee's any day.

EDIT: I realized you might be meaning -- if you don't let the struggle of parent-hood tear apart your relationship with your spouse, you're doing a good job. In which case I agree 100%.

I have been where you are, more than once. This is the true path of an entrepreneur and not for the feint of heart. I used to tell people that doing a startup is like being perpetually 'half way through the desert and out of water'. There's no turning back and no easy way forward.

My advice is to stay the course and scrape by. Scrounge, beg, delay, do whatever it takes to get over the next hill. A nine to five job will not solve any of your current problems in spite of its appeal. What's worse a high profile role will exhaust you leaving little or nothing left for your project.

By persevering you will impress investors and future employees with your ability to endure and commitment to your goals. Don't give up, never surrender and kick a little harder - you will succeed.

And when you do succeed, people will tell you how lucky you are!

Make sure you're using signed integers larger than 32 bits if you ever need dates before ~1970 or after ~2030.
I know this is one tiny use case, but it's one that's bothered me for some time. I can't change my profile picture without it becoming a huge news story for family and "friends" to comment on. I change a little picture of me, remove the event from my timeline, and I still get hokey comments or messages reminding me how bored and lonely everyone I know must be.

I severely miss when it was just a place to chat up a cute girl you seen in college, or find out who's going to see NIN, etc.
To be fair, AMD's Linux drivers have been pretty solid for a while now. I don't have an objective comparison, but the general perception definitely has some catching up to do. For those Ryzens you'll probably need a very recent kernel, but that's to be expected with new hardware.

A viable alternative requires your friends and family to be on it.

This[0] from 2016 shows 13,500 outstanding cases of those "who skipped court bail while facing charges including murder, child sex offences and rape" in the UK.

It appears that Assange can be tried for "Bail, failure to surrender"[1][2]. (Maximum 3 months sentence unless sent for trial.) I'm not aware that he's be charged with anything else, so, on the face of it, the money could have been more usefully dispersed to protect the public.

Bittorrent is already a distributed method of file sharing. How would a blockchain work any differently? You would still need people to run software on their computers that host the file.
I hope that's not true, for the sake of progress. Todays clouds wouldn't have happened if AMD and Intel had restricted cloud use of their processors.
From an outsiders perspective this looks like a bad investment. But I'm an outsider, so I know I don't have all the information. I would love to get an insiders perspective on why this is a good investment.

My two main concerns:

1) Amazon and Whole Foods: Are they not a concern?

2) Economic downturn: Will people still order groceries at a premium?
That may not matter, necessarily. If 3 of these fail but one becomes a £10bn company, that's ok. Some investors win, others lose, it averages out to normal returns.

VC is supposed to be risky.
Aesthetic objections to new construction are 99.9% bullshit. Otherwise things like vomit- and baby-poop-green vinyl siding, uniformly white windows with fake grills and little to no trim, McMansion-style hip-roof horrorshows and gables on top of gables wouldn't exist.
There's no Disneyland in Florida so we'll never know that one for sure.

More seriously, you're moving the goalposts. There are lots of people who are better off sticking to Disneyland, Paris rather than Disneyland, Anaheim. That doesn't mean the US government is actively trying to get a hold of them or considers their apprehension and prosecution in US courts important or even feasible.

The idea that the USG is actively hunting Assange is his main excuse for hiding out in the Ecuadorian embassy. The main source of that idea, as far as I can tell, is Assange and the evidence for it is very thin indeed.

> It is not a crisis that you cannot afford to live in Aspen

It is a crisis if you work in Aspen and can not afford to live in Aspen.

> It is not a crisis that you cannot afford an apartment in the very specific neighborhood in the very specific borough of New York City that you prefer.

It is a crisis to work in NYC and are not be able to afford to live in NYC, which is real situation that actually exists for many people today.

I understand there are a tiny few percent of people who's issues are 'badly mischaracterized as crises'. But the vast majority of the crisis is correctly characterized. We have a major urban housing problem. We should not dismiss it with a "let them eat cake" attitude.
Thank you.

My experience has been that people who are more comfortably well off than I am are not really looking very closely at the details of homes when they survey the lower end homes. I have had conversations with people who claim there is tons of affordable housing and they pull up some low priced listing in Detroit, a city in such a state of crisis that a woman created a non profit to pay water bills there. I have looked at listings in Detroit. The dirt cheap listings I looked at while homeless were mostly a case of "Oh, god, no! I would rather keep sleeping in a tent!" I am talking about burned out husks or houses that had been flooded and now had horrifying mold problems.

Things I was looking for in a house as someone in genuine need of affordable housing:

In walking distance of basics like a grocery store or, at minimum, able to get to such cheaply and efficiently via public transit.

I want something at $100k or less that can qualify for financing. When you look at a lot of super cheap housing, it is cash only and has defects that disqualify it from any kind of bank financing. I have seen houses listed that explicitly said "No foundation. Will not qualify for financing."

A single family detached house that is not a trailer where the price includes both house and land. When buying a trailer you are frequently buying only the trailer, not the land it sits on, and it is located in a trailer court where you have additional rental fees for being on that land on top of the purchase price of the trailer.

I want a modest home in decent shape. I don't mind a fixer, but a lot of cheap housing in the US has major defects that will cost serious money to remedy. It is a sucker's deal. You should not buy a house like that because budget matters. You buy a house like that because it has amazing views or historic significance or something and you have deep pockets. Poor people buying that kind of house are getting stiffed.

I basically want the kind of house I grew up in, something that affords one a lower middle class life with security and financial stability and a future. And it is extremely challenging to find that anywhere in the US. I concluded it does not exist in California. A lot of lower end housing is trailers and condos and stuff being sold as a tear down because it survived a fire.

So the next time you survey local real estate, maybe consider looking a little more closely at the details. Because your opinion that this is not really a problem in California flies in the face of countless articles about the affordable housing crisis in the state that routinely make the front page of HN. There is lots of homelessness there and people getting roommates to be able to afford a place at all. And I have difficulty fathoming how you can so cavalierly ignore the overwhelming evidence and pronounce this not really a problem.
> Imagine the opposite scenario where all over your neighbors do this, but you're the single hold out. Would your home be worth more, less, or the same with twice (or more) the number of people living on the block?

As a single family house its value would be less. But since all your neighbours already flipped their home for a developer building multifamily buildings, you surely can do the same, and as land to build an apartment building, your property probably is more valuable than it ever could have been as a single family home.
But how does it work if I can't normally RDP to my computer due to NAT router?
It looks like someone flagged the story unfortunately. It dropped like a rock from the front page. It really is an excellently written piece

TL;DR: Solid focuses on storage and data formats, Sandstorm focuses on compute and protocols.

AIUI (disclaimer: haven't spent a huge amount of time studying it), Solid focuses on data and storage, not on compute. It proposes that each user's data should be stored in that user's own storage, under their control, in formats that are standardized so that they are compatible across multiple applications. The applications themselves, though, still execute as they do today, probably on servers owned by the developer. Applications interact with each other by virtue of supporting common formats. A big part of Solid is defining these standardized data formats.

Sandstorm is focused on compute: it says that applications running on your behalf should run on your own server, in isolated sandboxes. An application's storage format is a private implementation detail, and applications never directly access each other's storage. Instead, applications communicate via standardized protocols.

Abstractly, you can think of Sandstorm as object-oriented, in that it combines data and compute into an "object" that implements an "interface".

In my opinion (as the architect of Sandstorm), protocols are the correct place to find interoperability; data is the wrong place. The data format inherently defines the feature set which can be implemented on top of it, and thus forcing apps to use a standard data format tends to prevent them from implementing new features. It is much easier to create protocol compatibility because a complex app with a larger feature set can implement compatibility shims for other protocols using code.

Also, of course, Sandstorm's sandboxing model has huge security benefits. Solid doesn't seem to provide any security benefits since the apps still run remotely on the developers' servers where they could do anything they want with your data.

Mastodon is pretty active and usable.

Patchwork has some big advantages. It's fully distributed, not federated like Mastodon/diaspora/OStatus, and works offline. But the experience isn't as polished yet. There are still some lingering issues with Patchwork... namely, it only runs on desktop computers, and your identity is tied to one device. But they are actively working on these issues.

Both are really cool and worth checking out.
The cost of college is another one that every parent should consider as early as possible.

It's certainly optional (you may be comfortable letting your kids go it alone for college tuition), but definitely worth making an intentional decision on and planning for as soon as you're able.

Also, I'd strongly recommend you use several of the many "future cost of college" calculators available out there. For example, a college that costs $35,000/yr today is estimated to cost $56,000/yr in 10 years per Vanguard's calculator's defaults[1]. The "Worlds Simplest College Cost Calculator"[2] also provides a reasonably good and easy to understand picture of how much you'll have to contribute monthly to reach your goals by the time your child starts college and brings in some reasonable numbers for grants and scholarships based on your income.

You could certainly "oversave" if the insanely high cost of higher education manages to correct itself, but pretty much any tax-advantaged educational savings account can be easily converted to retirement savings.

In my case, it's also provided a bit of extra motivation to support my children in developing good study habits early on in their education. Once you understand the likely cost of college in 10, 12 or 18 years, the prospect of academic scholarships becomes really, really appealing.

+1 for this, my art collecting is basically the same, mostly prints and paintings from local artists in the sub-$500 range. I enjoy them like most other entertainment: as a portal into another reality. And if they become worth something to someone else in the future and I decide I don't want them? Bonus.
You're saying it is easy for Wikileaks to provide hard proof they're not withholding stuff not suiting their agenda. How could they do it?

They usually look like something (at Facebook?) scavenges pictures, photos and makes them 404. It moves so fast and breaks so many things, literally.

Here in Hong Kong last week, two different American 1,000 lb. bombs were found a couple days apart during construction on reclaimed land (Wan Chai), dropped during the Japanese occupation. Presumably, they fell in the shallow bay, sank in the mud, and were later covered by lasdfill as one of the densest populated areas on earth expanded.
You're getting downvoted because HN.

I'd pay for entertainment, if it was quick (streamed) and maybe per episode. Seems really easy to do. But no, it's either a whole season on outdated media in English (that includes foreign movies, it's always dubbed) or nothing. If it's geographically limited, I can't get it.

So, no, fuck you all, I'll torrent and more importantly, seed, as much as I can.

Even with the government cracking down on the Internet, torrents are still seemingly unscathed, so that's one good thing.

And if you can't afford it, well I'm of the opinion that you should still get it. This is how Windows and Word became the most used software in the world. Ultimately, brought more users than it lost.

Not to mention that not all states were created equally. Some states have a pretty crazy history relative to the others.

New Mexico's history is arguably the state with the craziest history. Weird fact: slavery didn't end here after the civil war.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/28/us/indian-slaves-genizaro...

Besides that, it was a territory administered by the Spanish Empire and the Mexican Empire before eventually falling into the hands of the United States who really weren't sure what to do all these new citizens and Native Americans (they wouldn't really get citizenship until 1924) until the strange place was given statehood in 1912.

Hawaii is my close pick for 2nd place given that it was once it's own nation and even had it's own crazy war of unification.
>>1) Amazon and Whole Foods: Are they not a concern?

I think they are a concern, not necessarily to Instacart but to all of the grocery chains that need to compete with Amazon/WF. Since Instacart already has the tech/infra/domain knowledge to build this service out, Instacart's value goes shooting up.
I can’t remember if this still works, but you used to be able to set the privacy of your profile photo to “only me”, which would prevent it from appearing in friends’ news feeds. After a few days or so you could safely set the privacy back to friends or public and be reasonably assured it wouldn’t be seen as its own post.

It is completely silly that you have to jump through these hoops, though, assuming it’s even still an option.

Btw, hiding something from your timeline has absolutely no effect on whether it appears in friends’ feeds or not. It’s purely about whether people can see if it they go to your timeline. Which is pretty unintuitive and anti-user: if I don’t want something in my timeline, why would I want it showing up in people’s news feeds?
