From what appears in the media it looks like not so much back-door dealings as realpolitik. There is considerable domestic politics in play where the opposition (Australian Labor) party didn't want to get labelled 'soft on terrorism' by a struggling government which is looking for any message to attack the opposition over the xmas holiday period, particularly if there are any 'incidents' during this time. The opposition have requested that the legislation be reviewed and, one would hope, amended when parliament is resumed.
Founder vesting is usually set up either at the onset to protect multiple founders from breakups, or as a term requested by investors in a priced round of funding.

If you set up a business of any type, you're free to give yourselves a vesting schedule or not. If you take on smart outside capital, it may be a term they require.

Windows 2000. That was the last version of Windows I used seriously, and it ran Firefox, Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Pine (email) just fine with just 512 megabytes of RAM.

You hint at the answer, that aside from financial obligations nothing stands in the way of finding who you really are but yourself. Once a person finds confidence in expressing their true desires and aspirations, others take notice and start valuing and admiring the person, like in everything else it's a herd/popular mentality where anyone will appreciate it so long as others do but specially so long as the subject does. The road is of course winding tortuous with self-doubt, (more) loneliness as everyone else is just trying to conform and flak from society until the breakthrough years. But being a trendsetter is not much more than finding what are your particular trends for this existence, so to say. Only I can hold myself back emotionally, ultimately. Though yes, maybe attempts fail with nothing to show for it (even though wisdom may be worth more than a big salary as one ages) but I still think it's worth trying, really putting your heart into those attempts. The focus on people being specialists and not generalists (specially in more than one area of knowledge) makes the situation worse for sure.

The author forgets that governments aren't very good at protecting their own secrets.

For example, if even the NSA can't protect its own secret hacking tools from leaking, why should anyone expect they, or any such entity for that matter, can be trusted to always protect all their secret keys? Answer: They can't. Any other answer is a fantasy.

Unless I am missing something here, it seems this problem utterly destroys the author's argument.

Not sure what you're trying to say here at all. Apparently you can't keep your extreme position logically coherent.

I agree that the idea of "free will" might have been exaggerated too much especially in the US tradition, and I think people here generally agree. But taking a position of complete denial is likely not sound either. No need replying to everybody trying to defend your point. That in itself is a bit weak.

I will add this to my own article on this (featured already on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17794060) - Looks like loneliness (in the sense of "being alone") is more or less inescapable, the trick is to transform it in Solitude, in the sense of "being content even when alone".

Doesn’t answer the question.
A search engine doesn't enable piracy, it is the inherent property of data that allows it to be copied easily and cheap (zero marginal cost).

All a search engine or the Internet does is making it slightly more convenient. But they are just the messenger, the tool. The underlying problem is the property of data.

Instead, what those who make a typeface should do is raise a fund after which they set their font free. Pretty much the same way open source fonts are created, but if you don't work for a company you can even found your own and/or use platforms such as Kickstarter or IndieGogo. That typeface authors are unable to adapt to how easily data is distributed (in 2018, no less) isn't my problem. Nor is it the problem of Get The Font or Google.

> Loneliness, however, is a symptom of large changes in society, many caused by policies that Republicans have pursued over decades.

What neurosis is one suffering that loneliness has to be pinned on the political party one dislikes? I don't understand how Americans can wade through media so thick with political bias. It's exhausting and increasingly permeates everything.

And if Republicans are to blame, as the author insists, then so too are Democratic policies of changing demographics at such a pace as to erode social trust. Not to mention the constant assault for merely belonging to a majority demographic. Tell people in despair that they're too "privileged" to opine, on the one hand, and that their days are numbered, on the other, and they begin to feel strangers in a strange land.

Isn't there a preliminary step before peer reviewers review an article for publication (otherwise they'll be flooded). My impression from the post was that it stopped at some point in the marketing/editorial pipeline - I.E. it wasn't adequate enough (for business reasons) to send to peer review.

Though even so, your comment still stands (since I'm assuming whomever is in an editorial position has some kind of science background, at least at some of those journals).
Because 99% of the people don’t know what a port is. If they want to rethink the way things work and make the protocol more attractive you have to rethink some assumptions that were maybe correct in the early days.

Nobody is going to stop you from just using the “old” protocols. Maybe it’s even backwards compatible in the way that right now you can also add port 80 to a URL but you don’t have to.
The argument here is this: scientists have each identified, in isolation, various factors that work opposite global warming, and have determined, in isolation, that these factors, considered individually, cannot balance out global warming. In video 3, the author identifies natural phenomena that he says climate models have failed to factor in, such that the effect is that they far too heavily weigh the impact of humans on the climate.

Unfortunately, the video author makes a failure common to many climate change skeptics. First, the author failed to make a positive claim with justification that yes, indeed, the cooling phenomena identified in isolation when considered holistically counteracts warming. Next, he fails to propose a model that provides a cause of the extraordinary current increasing trend.

Considering the lack of a positive model, I would still have to accept the IPCC findings as the most plausible model.

> with how if you can get something to compile it is substantially more likely to work

That is what expected the least, when I was starting out. I was looking for something that is a little like Python, but faster than it. It gives me a sense of security to see the compiler call me out for a reason, telling me exactly which cases I forgot. Together with the type system I often find myself in situation where I do something quite complicated (for my experience) and then I am at a point where I am confident it works, I `cargo run` the whole thing and it works like a charm.

In Python a lot of things would run, but also broken things. Having it run was no guarantee at all it won't end up in a convoluted traceback later. In Rust having it run is a great part of the deal, I rarely encountered Panics afterwards, and when I encountered them it was me willfully defining where I would encounter them.

The weird thing is: because it takes much more to just get a program that compiles – even if you're lazy you end up with a higher code quality. It won't let you take some shortcuts that will haunt you later and that is a good thing.

Excellent comment BTW.
Are you old enough to remember what it was like to fly pre-9/11?

If anything the TSA made things more difficult for airports who were hemorrhaging revenue despite whatever magic safety rays you feel the TSA was projecting into the populace. (What are the properties of these safety rays and why even years after they began eminating did we still see airlines in bankruptcy, flights canceled, and dependence on federal loans? If in fact they were meant to increase passenger counts they didn't seem to do a good job, and just look like an unexpected added cost to contend with along with declining income -- some lost income directly due to security measures like preventing non-travelers from giving business to any shops beyond the security checkpoint. Liquids weren't even banned for years, after a slew of attempted liquid explosion attempts, almost like the TSA is an entirely reactive force ever since its creation.) On the more tangible side of things the airports had to pay the costs of the new security measures, which weren't trivial -- e.g. just the explosives detection systems for checked baggage cost billions to be rolled out. How much for the body scanners some years later?

>If for some reason, the government's private key were to leak, they'd render all data vulnerable.

Yes and keep in mind that if private keys leak, this fact may be kept hidden from the government, so the vulnerability of the data could also be unknown to the government. And master keys can leak too. Of course the government would work very hard to protect these keys. Just like they protected the NSA's hacking toolkit that leaked.

The example is broken.

Air is much more compressible than water. Pressure will be almost a linear function of depth because water isn't very compressible.

From the depth at which pressure is equalized inside and outside the beachball, until reaching the depth at which the ideal gas law becomes inaccurate, the volume of the beach ball will be simple function of depth. Doubling the depth will halve the volume. Beyond that, the volume will collapse faster, until the air becomes a supercritical fluid with density similar to that of the water.

In any case, the ball shrinks as you go deeper.

Buoyancy is roughly the density of the water times the volume of the ball. (the air inside is of trivial mass) The water density doesn't change much because water is not very compressible, but the volume of the ball decreases. This reduces the buoyancy force.

Suppose the ball is made of PVC, which sinks in water. Once the air has been pretty well compressed, the average density of the ball (air and PVC) will exceed that of water. The ball thus sinks.

Note that they can always revoke the request they gave you and request a new one. So they can fine you an infinite amount of money and drive you to bankruptcy if they want to. Now, it's possible this would be seen as an abuse of power but you'd need to go to court over it and you can't afford lawyers nearly expensive as the government's.

The statement in the original article linked is more interesting:

“In the few experiments a decade ago where publication would have been possible, academic journals refused to do so for reasons having nothing to do with the scientific quality of the work. Computer-science publications refused to publish re-identification experiments unless the paper also included a technological solution, notwithstanding assertions that publishing these experiments would inspire technological innovation to address the real-world problem. Health-policy publications refused to publish re-identification experiments related to health data from fear that reaction might make data sharing more difficult, despite assertions that because technology was fostering unprecedented levels of data-sharing, it was timely to scientifically re-examine data-sharing practices. Even my Weld example and related demographic analyses, despite making significant contributions to privacy regulations worldwide, were refused publication by more than 20 academic publications at the time.”

Personally if feels like the work was an important journalistic effort, but its scientific merit is less clear.
Fun fact: nobody owns a C corporation until the company actually issues shares, which is a good thing to not forget to do. (Occasionally discovered by serious professionals during due diligence, at which point fixing it will cost, at the minimum, an unfun professional services bill(s).)

> This isn't even that uncommon, I've talked with multiple YC companies that have gone through this and who are now on their way toward being successful.

That they are YC companies by definition means they are not solo bootstrapped companies, since YC involves raising outside funding (not to mention they aren't made by solo founders).

I agree a vesting schedule is a good idea for all companies, as it makes it easier to bring on more founders or raise outside funding in the future but it's definitely not necessary for a true solo bootstrapped company.

A new investor brings money into the business to "purchase" those newly printed shares, so diluting previous investors' percentage of ownership doesn't necessarily change their material position unless there are more strings attached to the investment.

For example, if an enterprise was worth $100M before investment and then there's a new investor that brings in $100M, the new investor owns 50% of a $200M pie and the previous investors combine to own 50% of $200M as opposed to 100% of $100M.

John from Ghost here - Firstly, big congrats to WP team for launching 5.0!

We have lots of ideas around extensibility for Ghost, they just increasingly don't look very much like plugins. We've always been hesitant to ship something which developers would rely on and end up creating yet-another-janky-bloated-CMS, so we've admittedly held back on that front.

The thing about a lot of plugins is, the most popular ones feel like they really shouldn't be plugins. Many plugins are popular simply because they're things which should be in core, while others should simply be tutorials. You shouldn't need a plugin for good SEO, and you shouldn't need a plugin to insert a Mailchimp embed.

To that end we've got a large directory of integrations which show how to make 3rd party services work with Ghost: https://docs.ghost.org/integrations

As for the more advanced platform-specific functionality: I think the long term view of how all platforms will need to work looks a lot more like external APIs and microservices than locally installed hooks and filters.
Dissolving the company would require liquidating its value to return it to the existing shareholders, so the guy that left 2 weeks in is getting his 25% either way (he is, after all, a partial owner). If the company is really worthless, you could maybe claim that the company has zero present value and then immediately start another one, but that would still almost certainly constitute fraud.
