> a bunch of contract clauses that basically lets the company own all IP while employed.

Probably the most practical solution here is to simply disregard this clause in the contract. Breaching such a clause would be a civil, not a criminal offense, and it is unlikely that a civil complaint would be even considered unless there was a lot of money at stake, and it was easy/cheap to prove/uphold. In order for it to be upheld your employer would have to spend a lot of time and energy deciding, and then proving what it was you built "on their time".

In other words, given that you don't actively publicize your own personal contribution to a commercial project its very unlikely that your employer can have any leverage over you in this regard.
I just want people to accept the fact that not everything you read/see on the internet is the absolute truth. Younger people learn early to navigate the web and additional education can keep their data safe. So what is the problem?

According to 1Password's support forum, "1Password 6 supports 1Password.com accounts, and that will run on iOS 9 and 10"[1].

The iPad 3 was quite problematic as a device in that it was very RAM- and CPU-limited. With a 1GHz dual-core A9 and 1GB RAM, it was not going to handle future iOS updates well.

The next version, the 2012 iPad, runs iOS 10 and is still useful -- I still have one lying around for when I need an iPad (and I do have 1Password on it). And the 2013 iPad Air runs the latest iOS and I expect this to continue as iPad tech plateaus.

Lack of OS updates isn't unique to Android, but Android manufacturers collectively have a very blasé attitude to updates, much worse than Apple and Microsoft.

> Your truth is not the only truth.

I don't think this is a helpful way of saying this. There is, in fact, only one truth in terms of what the facts are. All of us have different models in our head of what the world is like; these models are incomplete and often wrong. But the weakness of our models of the world won't stop reality from coming and biting us when we make bad decisions.

It is true, that sometimes when people disagree on a political idea, that what's happened is that one person believes A (which is true) and hasn't considered B; and another person believes B (which is true) and hasn't considered A. In that case, the best thing is for both people to learn both A and B (see a "perspective [which] is not false just because it opposes yours"), and revise their plan accordingly.

But in the case of polarized opinions, what normally happens is that at least one side believes X, which isn't true, (or is a gross exaggeration). In that case, while it may help to understand where the other person is coming from, it remains the fact that the right thing is for that person to stop believing that X is true.

So take immigration. Some people claim immigrants "take jobs away" from the native population; others claim that they 1) take jobs that the natives don't want, and 2) create as many jobs as they take by being customers as well as workers. All of these individually can be true; but at the end of the day, there will be a "number of jobs" and "number of unemployed" which is a fact, and will or will not be higher. That's the number that actually counts, not these hand-wavy predictions.
Wrong thread perhaps?
In business process analysis, when a process is dependent on individual people, you don't have a mature process but an ad hoc process.

In other words, Scrum methodology in itself is not mature as a methodology and depends on individual fiat, just like any project that doesn't have any process at all.

The only tangible benefit to Scrum might be paying lip service to development departments while firmly retaining the status quo.
Show HN: A random generator for redirecting to your landing page using Ethereum
Yes, but without the requirement to have two languages on the packaging, you can have one design for both Canada and the USA.

Canada is a tiny market by comparison, so it's often not worth the expense of designing separate multi-language packaging just for them.
Having trouble to generate early traction for our main project [1], we decided to design a side project marketing hack. This traction hack resulted in StartupTwister [2].

The idea behind StartupTwister is to register the landing page of your startup in an Ethereum smart contract [3]. The main page of StartupTwister [4] randomly redirects to one of the registered landing pages in order to generate early tration. The landing pages currently registered on StartupTwister can be found here [5]. The first 25 pages were registered by ourselves for illustration purposes. You can register your landing page in the respective Ethereum smart contract here [6]. Neither a login is required nor do you have to provide your email address.

The price of registering your landing page is determined by supply and demand via an auction system implemented on Ethereum. The auction system is based on a Dutch auction with Harberger taxes. More information about the auction system can be found at the bottom of [6].

> GDPR nowhere says "student data should be encrypted at rest". It says it should be protected from unauthorized access,

The reality is that you can't protect unencrypted data from unauthorized access. You can try, but you can't guarantee it, not when you have hosting partners, for example. Encryption is just one completely reasonable defense mechanism that needs to be part of a larger strategy. I wasn't comfortable defending the company without personally identifiable data being encrypted. You might be. I'm not.

> this business owner basically failed at his primary mission: managing risk.

To the contrary, I succeeded. I eliminated the risk at the cost of 5% of my revenue. I sleep great at night not worrying about the GDPR.

In the case of my 6850k my overclock was silently killed by the Windows 10 microcode update which locked multi to 38x.

On a couple of occasions Intel have pushed updates which have reset my fix. Dear $deity .. my next PC will be AMD for sure.
> I think that arguing that a political stance is "correct" or "wrong" isn't the best frame of reasoning here, because it implies that there might be some sort of formal reasoning process you could use to reach a common conclusion. Whereas humans do now work like that and politics does not work like that.

I disagree with that. In so far a political stance refers primarily to objective reality (e.g. "should we introduce a carbon tax, and if yes, in what form?"), you should be able to reach common conclusion in a group of honest people. That people often don't doesn't mean it can't be done - it's a result of political discussions involving plenty of dishonest or disinformed people.

> There's no absolute morality, and there's no universal set of moral axioms you can get everyone to agree on.

Yes and no. There isn't an explicit, absolute morality, but that doesn't mean morality is a free variable. It doesn't exist in a vacuum, in exist in human brains - which are all the same hardware and mostly-same firmware. If you look at all the societies and cultures, there's plenty of values that are essentially universal. That's not an accident.

> arguing from specific->general in one direction and general->specific

I agree that people generally argue like this, and it's a bit orthogonal (if closer to the focus of daily experience) to what I wrote about. But humans are capable of doing these steps multiple times - e.g. simultaneously compare specifics of a situation against a specialization of a generic rule, and generalize the situation to compare against a set of general values. In so far as we're talking about objective reality, correct generalizations and specializations will converge on a self-consistent picture. And whatever subjectivity is caused by a difference in values has its limits - it's not a license to throw reason away and say that the whole space of all possible opinions is equally valid.

> Each of those is a lossy transformation. (...) But neither is more "correct" in a formal sense than the other.

I am arguing that - that two different lossy transformations can be equally "correct". My projection example is a lossy transformation after all. But this doesn't mean any two objects from the codomain of a lossy transformation are equally correct! Just like a hexagon is not a valid projection of a cylinder, or a pony isn't a valid JPEG compression of a human portrait, some generalizations are wrong, and some specializations are wrong.
The Nancy Pelosi videos tread on propaganda. It's being used to convince people "Wacky Nancy" or whatever Trump calls her is not fit for office, using actual news clips. It's clearly different from parody provided by a comedian on a show known for being a sketch comedy show.

The First 30lbs Bitcoin
It all started a year ago during a crypto fever run. A bitcoin coin is cool, but you know what's better? A gigantic Bitcoin bronze.

At first with an out-of-scale wooden version, then things started getting serious. 3D printer, silicon, and molten copper. Making such a piece with a mirror finish requires fine art expertise and took several trials.

The sculpture is signed by the foundry and encrusted with the bitcoin payment transaction hash on its side. It is close to impossible to counterfeit such a piece. Each foundry has its own signature based on the shares of each metal composing the bronze. Moreover, being handmade, two sculptures will never look exactly the same.

I asked about this before joining my current employer: I'd like to write a tetris clone and sell it on the AppStore (that was the specific example I used). I promise I won't use company resources. They said please don't. It's a grey area. Worst case you'll have to explain to a judge why your code doesn't infringe on anything the company owns or does. Even if it's something as trivial as a tetris clone.

You are however fairly safe if it's completely different from your work, for example, pottery or writing fiction (assuming your company does neither).

As for "as part of this employment relationship", I'm not a lawyer but I wouldn't assume that it applies only to what you do at the office. It might very well apply to anything while you are employed there. You need to clear the scope of that with HR or a lawyer.

You definitely don't want to base your company on shaky legal grounds. You might lose your company, your product, and your job. It probably won't look good in your Arbeitszeugnis either.

The EU made several critical mistakes in the way they approached their growth and integration issues and those in turn could very well lead to a final desintegration or split of the bloc. The UK leaving is a very bad sign, given that they already had one of the most exceptional positions within the EU.

Time will tell.

Of course the integration 'by force' (Maastricht for one, Lisbon for another) was utterly dumb, it feels to me as though they thought 'now or never' not realizing that they may be planting the seeds for the eventual dismantling of the union.
The alarms are why it wasn't higher than 15x.
I'm sorry, but this opinion piece sounds pretty dumb. It almost reads like a troll post. The fact that so many in this comment thread seems to be concurring with its suggestion is troubling enough.

If you really want to alienate the EU from the average EU citizen, make English its official language. And adopt a version only a tiny minority really speaks too, just to salt the wound! I'm not sure whether to be scared or laugh.

The fact that the EU has 24 official languages isn't meant to make its proceedings cumbersome or to necessarily facilitate national pride (although, it's certainly also that!), but to make it available to the general public. The official nature of all the member states' languages means you can submit documents in all those languages.

Everyone on Hacker News speak English, but it's not a majority in the EU who speaks or understands English comfortably. But it's easy to forget our privilege. Even as younger generations get more and more accustomed to learning, reading and speaking English around Europe, most are still more comfortable reading technical, political and legal texts in their own language.

They may understand the dialogue in Game of Thrones well enough, but can an Estonian farmer understand an EU agriculture subsidy determination, if it was written in English?
Yes, but it has the big disadvantage of a very irregular pronunciation. Other languages, like many southern European ones, seem to me to have much easier pronunciation. I am biased because I am Italian, but I am pretty sure that it is much easier for an Englishman with basically no Italian training to speak relatively correctly an Italian sentence than it is for me, after many years of studying and practising English, to properly pronounce English.

I would like this EU English to evolve in the direction of keeping a simple grammar and going towards a more regular pronunciation. Basically it would become a new form of Esperanto, except that differently from Esperanto it would actually have a viable path for many people to learn it.

I know I like to dream, but maybe...
I live in Switzerland where everything you've mentioned has to be done thrice (3 official languages: French, German, Italian), yet I am firm in my belief that it should be maintained.

It's not about whether anybody cares about a specific language anywhere outside of a province. It's about maintaining a language as one of the elements of the culture and country's identity.

If only criterion to keep or strike a language as official one was whether it's spoken by a majority or a minority, then you'd be living in a dictatorship of the masses (where majority decides for everybody else).

Learning a second or a third language is not a burden. It's an opportunity. An opportunity to immerse one self into a different culture, different world view... It should be seen as gift to widen one's perspective and not a financial burden.

And using the money as an argument against this or that is a dangerous slippery slope. Because with the same argument one could argue against a lot of other things: "Why maintain a universal healthcare, it costs too much!", "What? Maintain free education? Who needs that, it costs too much!"... And so forth, and so forth.
Regarding "I am from a third world country, so I won't be able alter the contract clauses", I dunno in what country you are working, but most of the western world isn't like that.

Perhaps you think like that because you are from a third world country and you are used to being abused by your employers.

(And it's not that I am western supremacist, actually I happen to like middle east and asia better)

Look at some inspirational talks by non westerners, like garyvee for example. He's immigrant. He's taken command of the situation. You can too. The only thing enabling him to do so is knowledge, experience, and a unique attitude.

Over the years I've emailed CEOs, CTOs, and PMs of some of the most successful companies in the world (and also a lot of professors), and you know what? Most of them respond. They're just a little busy.

By the way, I have a question. Why don't you just ask?

Opening a dialogue is never wrong nor is it actually difficult.

Many of the commenters have validly pointed out that you need to take care of the legal aspects. I’ve a few questions from the other side of things:
Have you identified a customer segment and target group? Ideally these ppl have a problem you’re trying to solve. Please validate that they indeed have a problem. How? Talk to a few , research online etc. remember that entrepreneurship involves multiple hats. Learn a bit of finance- it’s the language of the business. Finally , Build , validate , learn repeat :-).

However there's a case for fixed pricing and it can work to your advantage: Think of a difficult task or problem that you already solved in similar cases - maybe you already have the heavy foundation of that work ready as a template, maybe you automated complex, repeating steps. Or just think of a simple task that has huge value for your customer. Pricing shouldn't always depend on how long it takes you to finish a project.

Yes. Unlike software development, data science is not completely business agnostic and a fair amount of business understanding is required. For e.g. if you work with sales data, you need to be aware of seasonalities, purchasing patterns etc to understand the trends that you observe to discern between what is a true outlier and what is explainable.

What makes me cringe the most is to see flashy presentations with claims akin to 'Data Science will change your world'.For sure, it can and has been proven to automate decisions (think, credit scores), assist in decision-making (think, sales trends) and anomaly detection (think, security systems). I find so many data scientists that I interview are so hung up about the esoteric techniques they employ, often failing to even explain why was it useful or how it helped their businesses.

What has been transformational and path-breaking is the breaking of enterprise monopolies in this space (for e.g. SAS/IBM SPSS) and a variety of open-source frameworks have made it easy and convenient, apart from opening it up to software developers to build these skills. Important, though, to not lose of the sight that data science is at the sweet spot of expertise in domain, data and technology.

That's exactly why English is such a success. By losing nuance in the words but making up for it in the sentences the language becomes a lot easier to learn.

I'd much rather have the common language of the EU be English even without an English representation in the EU than to have to parse EU legal documents in French or German. The occasional contract is bad enough. At least with English there is a level playing field.
