In my experience, something that already ties into your company's authentication platform can really simplify access-control problems.

For example, when I worked at a company that used Google Apps for Business for everything, I set up our documentation in a Google Sites Wiki. Now that I'm working somewhere that uses Microsoft for everything, I've set up a Sharepoint wiki.

In both cases, the tools wouldn't have been my first choice from a page-editing or layout standpoint, but the ease with which my less-technical co-workers can search and find information and process documents with their existing credentials has been key to encouraging broader use.
Reification is at least part of the solution to provenance, but none of the Semantic Web ontologies you've ever heard of use reification, and there is no upgrade path to make an ontology based on plain un-reified triples use reification.

To continue this example: you asserted, in English, "I am married to Tim Berners-Lee". In English, anyone can respond "No you're not".

Then you said it again in RDF, in a way that hypothetically a computer system would use to draw conclusions. And there is no way to say "no you're not" in RDF.
Xcode also has tooling support that will handle a lot of the language conversion for you.

> And then there is someone who wants to post some stuff against F2pool. What is stopping F2pool from manipulating the feed?

It's the difference between 'unstable equilibrium' vs 'stable equilibrium'.

The power of a centralized entity on their service, like twitter on a feed is a stable equilibrium, they can modify something and not face too many repercussions (like when we see what happened with Wells Fargo scandal).

On the other hand, the power of a major player in a decentralized setup is an 'unstable equilibrium', if you modify something into your favor, your power goes away really fast. And cryptocurrency networks have shown that they are extremely sensitive towards any changes or abuse of power made by a major player. It also makes a lot of sense from game theoretic perspective.

The hard fork made by the Ethereum community was such an example, it was so contentious that even though they succeeded, they are very resistant towards any such changes in future.

With Proof of Stake, the 'stability' of unstable equilibrium of F2Pool (presuming F2Pool is a large staking pool at that point) becomes even more unstable. In PoW if F2Pool performs a harmful action, then any attempts to undo that harmful action does not harm F2Pool, they just neutralize their attempt.

Whereas in PoS consensus, any attempts by F2Pool to perform a harmful action would result in them losing their wealth.

Here's what you wrote:

> Or that I used the generic term rather than the git-specific term?

In the context of the discussion, generic term refers to "check in", and git-specific term refers to "commit" (which is the only possible alternative term to be using in that context). The obvious reading is that you're calling "commit" a git-specific term.

So I wouldn't say I'm putting words into your mouth, unless you were unaware that "commit" is the correct alternative term, which is of course a possibility that I didn't consider.

> > those single member LLCs may be surprised to find the assets of their single member LLC at risk for their personal liabilities

> Not to discount that but aren't LLCs usually formed to avoid personal liability for company liabilities?

That’s officially why they’re formed, but that doesn’t mean they provide what the owner expects.

Years ago, when I was a bank teller, I noticed that one of our clients — a CPA — had not incorporated her business, or set up an LLC, LLP, etc. She mentioned that the limited liability wasn’t absolute; people are often able to pierce the veil ( http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/business_law/2017/11/no-nee... ), so she wasn’t convinced it was worth the trouble. I found out later that courts are willing to pierce the veil in cases that don’t make sense (often, the courts pierce the veil for contract lawsuits where the injured party failed to write in the contract that the LLC’s owners would personally guarantee the performance, but if a car owned by an LLC was in an accident, courts would respect the limited liability; this seems backward since the victim of the accident didn’t pass up a chance to get the owner to personally take liability: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=236967 ).
In conventional mathematical notation, as used in science and engineering, formulas usually have the form ν = ε, which is both a statement of equality and a method for calculating ν from the terms in ε. For example, V = I R. If you have V and I and want R, you start by rewriting this as R = V / I. Computer languages explicitly followed this.
> Associate; a generic corporate title in banking

To be highly paid, get a job at a company run by (former) software engineers who see software as the profit engine of their company. Not a bank that sees software as an IT cost center.

In general, you make the most money at a company where the founder or senior management have the same background as you and are biased to think your job role is the most important one in the company.

Which CEO would be more likely to get you to make personal sacrifices:

1. The one who sleeps on a sleeping bed and says that you are tremendously valuable to the future of the company.

- or -

2. The one who says that remote workers are slackers, cancels remote work, and then builds a comfortable nursery right next to their comfortable office.

This isn't about whether a sleeping bag (probably an exaggeration anyway) is the most optimum solution to the "sleep at the office" problem, it is about what is the optimum solution to the "help my workers understand that I empathize with their current situation" problem.

I think we forget about the importance of that last problem sometimes.

FAANG is Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet’s Google.
I agree that the Culture series would be perfect for TV. Banks is incredible with characters and dialogue, so I think the screenplay pretty much writes itself. His world-building is spectacular and would be a field day for any special effects studio: the orbitals, the "fire planet"... I would pay lots of money to see those on screen.
Its insane to me that back in the 80's a plastic trash "island" was discovered somewhere between the size of Texas and Russia (depending on estimate).
All these years later and there has been almost nothing done to combat the problem.

California is still the only state to completely ban single use plastic bags.

Is the convenience of a super market giving you multiple plastic bags every time you enter worth the damage we are doing to the planet?

> Why is "sleeping in a sleeping bag on the factory floor." a good thing?

Who said that quote? Nobody in any of the videos on the linked page said it.

I assume "sleeping on the factory floor" means sleeping at the factory, in a camp-bed, or similar. "The factory floor" is a synecdoche for "the factory".
So after browsing through Blockstack's website and a few of these Dapps there's something I don't quite understand. Storing data into the blockchain itself is obviously extremely expensive so I wondered how they did that. Turns out that for most of these apps they either don't tell (as far as I can see) or have this exact same snippet of text in their FAQs:

>By default, your data is stored in a dedicated Microsoft Azure Blob. But you can and should connect your Blockstack Browser to your own cloud storage solutions (preferably multiple).

So... what's the idea here? I don't need ethereum to encrypt my data and upload them to various cloud storage services. Sounds to me like blockstack is an app framework like Google Play or the App Store, only you pay with ethereum instead of fiat and your data is encrypted locally before being uploaded. I mean that last bit is definitely a good thing but where's the famous "blockchain technology(c)(tm)" exactly?
Question from someone not living in the US:

How come you guys have such high salaries compared to ROW? Is the cost of life that much higher than other countries, or is your income simply taxed less / companies have generally more money to spend on employees?

I am currently working in one of the highest paying (if not the highest) consultancy firms in my country, and my salary is probably lower than your minimum wage. It's actually something that pisses me off more than it should when I think about it.

If a qualified person was asking the questions, the public would then know the reality of the situation, as well as get a decent look into how honest Mr. Zuckerberg is.

I suspect what we watched was fairly well scripted theater, right down to the humiliating booster seat as well as the talking points cheat sheet that he "accidentally" let a reporter get a picture of. This wasn't about discovery, truth, or justice, it is about shaping public opinion.

But hey, maybe I'm wrong, maybe what comes out of this will be some reasonable regulations that the technical community will more or less agree do in fact provide substantial improvements to privacy of individuals. I'd happily take the other side of that bet though.

I have lately been fond of the idea of not abolishing, copyright, but setting a copyright tax that increases heavily over time. Say, first two years tax-free, third year USD 1000 and doubling after that each year. Once copyright holder fails to pay the tax, the copyrighted work becomes automatically public domain. Orphan works would be solved as well with this.

(Admittably, I have not thought the international problems that this might cause)

There is a geographic disparity in how tech workers are valued. Might consider working remote for a US company that'll bring your wage up above what your local tech economy will provide for.

As a sibling comment points out, health insurance and child care consume quite a bit of a wage in the US (our employer portion is $20k/year alone for a family of four; childcare is easily $1k/per child/per month for 2 days a week of care). My wife is giving birth tomorrow to our second child, and we're prepared for a bill anywhere between $5k-10k all-in, even with a quality insurance plan at my company.

Right, but the whole dream of the "semantic web" to me was that one website could discuss red wines, and another website could discuss Vietnamese food, and then a reader could use the semantic vocabulary shared between the two sites to arbitrarily ask questions such as "what wine will go best with this dish?"

If you just have a vocabulary where everyone can freely define concepts and their relationships in a fuzzy way this original goal will never be tractable- There needs to be some sort of unambiguous shared concept space between disparate sites (which in my estimation appears to not be achievable in any practical sense, due to the difficulty in finding "one true way" to build ontologies.)

I would genuinely pay Pornhub to provide a curated selection. The value in having the type of pornography teenagers find being biased slightly towards say, the X-Rated sex ed content and dropping a lot of the outright sexist stuff way down the list, would probably be one of the most effective sex ed tools that could be provided.
A better way would be to schedule regular 1-on-1 meetings.

You're not going to find out if somebody is happy by "casually being around".
While the question of how they won despite being idiots is interesting and important, I find it much more alarming that the fact they won an election somehow make the almost daily idiotic escapades of the administration unimportant evidence.

Note that I am not making a claim about the supporters, just the orange and his staff. Why people voted as they did in the numbers they did is of course a much bigger question.
But I mean, the obvious answer is that the election process itself is very flawed as it can elect an administration this bad, that's just empirical fact now.
Mostly cost of living. The locations where these jobs are tend to be very expensive to live (which is why the location part of this question will be interesting).

In software, at least, I've argued that subscription pricing is innately deceptive and, long term, deleterious to the quality of the product. It's a market distortion born of the App Store model, where it's difficult to charge for updates. And that, in turn, is an artificial constraint imposed by OS vendors who have an incentive to keep people on the latest OS (without breaking their apps).

And yes, a CPA will cost you money, but it is something you must have right and is worth the cost. By having a CPA, you will avoid falling into a situation where you end up paying a fine, or have unexpected fees/taxes, or, more often than not, the CPA will actually show you how to structure/operate in a way that will SAVE you taxes and fees. If you are going into a partnership or S/C Corp with different owners, than the money spent on a lawyer as well as the CPA is very much worth it.

Save yourself down the road and spend the money now to do it right.

Polluting the master repo with a bunch of irrelevant commits isn't giving you context, it's giving you pollution. There's nothing to fear about merge commits. It's about wasting everyone's time by adding your 9 commits to fix a single bug to the history. I work on teams, and we care about tasks. The fact that your task took you 9 commits is irrelevant to me. What is relevant is the commit that shows you completed the task.
Chicago banned single use plastic bags a few years ago. While some stores switched to paper, most just began to use thicker plastic bags and called them "reusable bags". I think the ban lasted about 18 months and when it was found that plastic bag use hadn't dropped at all, the city instituted a bag tax of $0.07 per bag used. I think that actually worked to reduce bag usage.

When I was coming up in the early 2000's, I met a girl at a concert that I liked. We started talking online, and she told me at the beginning that her parents had a keystroke monitor on her computer. Being a little baby hacker, I went online to find the best ways to circumvent the software she had. I told her how to do it, and one saturday while I was still in bed I got a phone call from her dad about how she was no longer allowed to talk to me.

Turning from Dad into Big Brother probably didn't help this girl develop proper social skills. She chaffed under the yoke of this monitoring, and seemed like she had an antagonistic relationship with her parents. They weren't pushing her towards becoming an inherently good person, just towards hiding her bad behavior from them. Your goal as a parent should be to create and foster good behavior from your children, not teaching them to hide the choices they know you won't agree with.

FWIW, my parents put 0 effort into monitoring my online behavior, I made TONS of mistakes/did bad things online until my mid-20s, and I'm now happily married, well employed and generally well liked by people I know.

Before you call this legislation, and legislators everywhere "clueless", as some unfailingly will, take a moment to consider its motivation.

Because you can disagree with this proposal, and I do. But arguing against it should start with an attempt to understand its background.

Many European countries, as well as rural US states, have seen their local press landscapes dying. Where there used to be two or three quality local papers, there are now one or none. And those often no longer have the resources to devote to actual investigations of local issues.

The reason is obviously the internet, on two fronts: First, often overlooked yet more important, is the death of classifieds and ads. These used to provide about half of publishers' revenue. Craigslist and Google Ads have reduced these opportunities drastically (i. e. by about 80%).

On top of that comes the competition by publishers on the internet.

The issue now is that it simply doesn't pay to devote any resources to any serious investigation. The Wall Street Journal might pay a reporter for half a year of work to produce a story on corruption at the FAA. But ten minutes after that story is published, the AP and every news site on the web can quote the essential information.

Nw if you believe copyright and patents should be completely abolished, then it's completely fair to call this idea by the EU "clueless".

But if you think that (limited) intellectual property laws may, in principle, be acceptable and important to allow investments in such endeavours, then this idea doesn't seem as outlandish.

I still believe these ideas are misguided, and there might just not be a good way to create a workable system around such rights. But as a believer in the necessity for a vibrant media landscape to inform the public discourse, I don't enjoy watching the press' misery either.

Amazon is a huge exception.
