Some quotes:

"During the years in which the women's liberation movement has been taking shape, a great emphasis has been placed on what are called leaderless, structureless groups as the main -- if not sole -- organizational form of the movement."

" Contrary to what we would like to believe, there is no such thing as a structureless group. Any group of people of whatever nature that comes together for any length of time for any purpose will inevitably structure itself in some fashion. The structure may be flexible; it may vary over time; it may evenly or unevenly distribute tasks, power and resources over the members of the group. But it will be formed regardless of the abilities, personalities, or intentions of the people involved."

"A "laissez faire" group is about as realistic as a "laissez faire" society; the idea becomes a smokescreen for the strong or the lucky to establish unquestioned hegemony over others. This hegemony can be so easily established because the idea of "structurelessness" does not prevent the formation of informal structures, only formal ones."

He might be an economist, but he doesn't know anything about monetary history:

The economic assumptions underpinning the Bitcoin ecosystem are laughable, and ignore hundreds of years of accumulated understanding of how currencies work with each other.

I applied lean methodology to my weight loss problem. I gave about 3 months to everything I tried, ditched the one's that didn't work, kept the one's that did.

Calorie restriction didn't work, low carb did. Eating 6 small meals a day didn't work, fasting did. A lot of cardio didn't work, a mixture of lifting and cardio did. I guess you get the idea.

You are right that clp is incorrect in his suggestion that he criticizes his parent. Rather, he amends the information there with things unrelated to the article, but very much related to the general subject and, frankly, indispensable for anyone seeking to understand weight gain/loss.

It likely relies on subatomic phenomena. The stochasticity of microtubules, which certainly store state information (as do most components in the entire cell) derives from quantum mechanical phenomena. In any case, unraveling the molecular level details of the cell is the most astoundingly complex problem humanity has yet faced.

We can't even model bacterial state (regulation, etc.) right now. I strongly feel that we won't be solving this problem within our lifetimes. Probably not even in a hundred years.

Systemd sounds great, more distros should use it or something like it. But why would something like gnome shell want to depend on it? Systemd starts programs at startup, gnome shell is a gui. I could almost understand something like GDM needing a dependency, (but would still consider such a dependency poor engineering and against the unix philosophy)

A decision like this, and other decisions gnome has been making lately will reduce its popularity.
Thanks! I did not know about this. But doesn't this create extra security issues?

This is, of course, unless you can get hold of some proper West Country homemade scrumpy. Cheers!

There's quite a bit of misunderstanding in that post, especially with respect to systemic weaknesses. And a lot of unsubstantiated claims and terrifying graphs (like that tweet graph as something desirable for currency inflation - what it also implies is your savings going up in smoke).

I'd love to find an in-depth debate on Bitcoin from an economic standpoint, but this is not it. It's just more of the same half-understood FUD. And it is a horrible idea when half-understood - IMO, it remains to be seen if it's a horrible idea when fully-understood.
Why would anyone buy $12000 in bitcoins, at this stage? That's just dumb no matter which way you slice it and asking for handouts via bitcoin after having your bitcoins hacked is the perfect scam.

Yesterday I saw some mac osx malware being served up from a website listed in google image search results.

The search was Flamenco or something like that. My girlfriend pulled me over to show me that this website was saying it was from apple security and that I needed to download a tool to remove the Trojan.

Having just come back from a visit to Turkey, we found the Trojan reference funny.

I think if she was surfing with safari the .zip file would have extracted automatically, which I think would have caused many people to run whatever evil was stored inside.
Plain and simple... you can always get a normal job at any time or age, they will be around for awhile. A startup gets harder to do as you get older and family or bills come into play.

Start with the startup, no question about it.
It's not really "dangerous", it is just that you give a bit more information to FB/Twitter/$SocialCompany than you thought you would.

There is also some research that suggests fasting being beneficial in modulating insulin resistance. I try not to consume food after a certain time at night. It is not too difficult to do, and definitely stops short any thoughts of a late night snack.

Regarding angry visitors, I think it is completely fair if you just inform them of what is going on.

In a way, this is the perfect internet model: I offer my content for free but visitors pay me with cpu cycles. It's superior to the ad-model because it pays according to time spent on the page regardless of who the audience is.

Funny you say that, as currently there is no way to access the location field from full screen mode (F11). So this is actually a desperately needed feature.
Ironically - your example speaks against itself. 100GB Drive is a very precise and agreed upon way of referring to a drive - it means 1x10^11 bytes. 93.1 GiB drive is unusual - we don't typically use powers of 2 when referring to drive length - so if you really mean 93.1 GiB, then it's important you call it out as such, or people (storage admins, driver manufacturers, and operating system developers) will understand you to mean 1X10^11 bytes when you say 100 Gigabytes. Precision has it's place.

Look into Usenet for a forum with no central control (it's pretty much peer-to-peer, but the "peers" are servers, not any random guy); I have no idea what Bitcoin has to do with anything, though.
If the message to legislators is: won't you please do something to protect all those poor and starving artists? Then we are well and truly hosed.

More likely: big money bought the bill and the "starving artist" facade is a convenient and facile deceit. Like all good bought laws, it works loosely on a philosophical scale, has emotional appeal, and is difficult to argue without getting into the weeds of changing business models, the way the internet works, etc.

I'm a big fan of politics (micro and macro) and philosophy, mainly because I love studying how people make group decisions. Over the past couple of years I've become more and more convinced that humanity has entered a time where things are changing so fast that the average guy isn't fully aware of how he's getting screwed over. The only saving grace is that older people can see the changes more clearly. With transhumanism on the way, Google and others creating the Borg in the cloud, and governments snooping into every little thing we do, it's almost like the previous 2500 years we have been studying very hard at how freedom and virtue inter-relate, and now comes the test.

Sure hope we do well.
Why does time spent on the page matter?
No, they just don't bog their messages down with caveats, which just serve to confuse people. Effective communication sometimes sacrifices some small measure of accuracy. You see this in conversation all the time.

I've put up a Python component for sale there a week ago (no sales yet). It's still featured on the BinPress homepage, and in the past week I've got 230 views (highly irregular tho - half of them were on the first day and yesterday).

I imagine JS/PHP components might be more searched for, but overall, I don't think they have a big userbase yet. I imagine that's why they haven't publicized the numbers.

So to answer your question, don't try to offer the component exclusively there, but there's no reason for not using it as an additional sales channel.
Yeah man, I'm working on it. That site isn't even mine. Someone on the IRC created it and just posted all that info. I wasn't really asking for handouts.

I had a few coins left and started selling them at a high rate to try and counter my losses.
If you could turn out a bitcoin per day per player, that's massively more than the subscriptions at today's rates. Of course, there's no guarantee that you could do this, and there's no guarantee that today's exchange rates have anything more than blind optimism keeping them afloat, but the idea's not inherently stupid.

In fact, it might be an interesting way for EVE (for instance) to link ISK to real-world value. There's a lot that a MMORPG company could do with a system which encourages people to stay in-game more than they already do...
Little Snitch can do this currently, if you're looking. Outbound firewalls are somewhat annoying, though, as you have to authorize every single program at least once, which makes me think that Apple is unlikely to add one that runs by default.
But I read the whole article and I still don't actually know what this state of emergency is. Does just having the USA PATRIOT Act mean that we're in a state of emergency? If so, is that something the bill actually says, or you interpreting that the bill is so extreme that it only makes sense in a state of emergency? Or are there provisions in it that are only ok if someone declares that we're in a state of emergency, and we've been in one ever since it passed? (Which still wouldn't be 14 years. If that's the case, then you don't know that someone won't declare that we're not in that state of emergency before the bill expires)

Anyway, if the fact that I read your title means that I am more confused after reading the article than I would have been with the normal title, it is a bad title that does not fit the article.

(all the you's are to the submitter)

Edit: Also, the title is false. It hasn't actually been extended yet, it's just heading in that direction.

Cute, but this is hardly worthwhile unless you have a massive number of users, in which case you probably don't want to piss them off by wasting their CPUs.

I'm getting about 13K hashes/sec with this JavaScript miner. For comparison, my GPU gives me 100M hashes/sec, and even my 12 CPU cores give me 10M hashes/sec with the official Bitcoin client.

So you'd need about 1000 concurrent users at all times to match a single machine. EngineYard SHA1 contestants who used this approach had the same problem.

Now, if Native Client was widely deployed, or you could somehow rig up WebGL...
Unfortunately, the people who are going to spend a lot of time playing casual games and the people with chunky GPUs are (in my opinion) not likely to overlap very much.
Not if it puts its readers on a different chase than the article.

"What pain did Twitter address?"

Surely this is just an application of the maxim "Anything measured improves," rather than anything specific to weight control?
Since bitcoin mining is rapidly getting uneconomical on non-specialised hardware, if you control a botnet you probably get more money from the usual botnet activies like spamming or ddosing.
I really like javascript templating.

Although it has limited use in your typical django/rails web app, it's an important tool to have in your chest because sometimes it makes so much sense.

For example, you pull some data into the browser as JSON and need to format it as DOM nodes.
You could write a browser add-on that only blocks the bitcoin script.
Dedicated MMO players would probably want to maximise their GPU to, y'know, render the game well. I doubt they are willing to compromise on graphical quality for your bitcoin miners.
Ask HN: How to start an LLC on H1B
I am a good programmer with a well paying programming job at a hot technology company on the west coast. Hailing from a 3rd world country with a master's degree from US, I work here on a H1B visa.

In near future, I want to start my own company. Currently, I want to write some mobile apps and sell them online. However, my employer is not very friendly with such policies and having side projects officially may hurt my chances of getting promoted at work.

To fix this I came with the following solution:

Start a LLC in US under a cousin's name(a homemaker and US citizen) and sell apps under that LLC's name. I will run the company under her name. Once I decide to go full time on the startup, I am planning to have an arrangement so that I can buy back the company for a nominal amount.

Is this a good approach? Also is this legal? Are there better approaches?

TIA.

PS: I hope people will understand the reason for posting this under a throwaway account.
By "paper money" do you (and the article's author) actually mean "fiat money" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money) dating back 11th century China? It was in use as early as 18th century America.

The only thing about "paper money" that I can think of that is about 100 years old is the beginning of the departure from the gold standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard).

I was going to say the same thing. Seems like an annoying flash ad uses a ton of CPU as well.
As far as I'm concerned, if the Bitcoin to fiat exchange rate can stabilize sufficiently, then it becomes a better online currency that any single nations currency at the moment.

Better because of reduced fraud and reduced transaction fees.

I don't see any fundamental reason why this can't happen with a non-government crypto currency, but it will take some time... and there will be a lot of booms and busts along the way.

The biggest risk is sadly the US government declaring it illegal.

You're trying to set a record with maintaining a state of emergency in the free world?

The other standard method is by not comparing the free world with dictatorships. We can criticise both the Patriotic Act and the state of emergency in dictatorships and hold them to different standards or criticise them in different tones based on the degree of digression as compared to the values they claim they uphold and our own values.
