Let's see, "Make impassioned speech then go break into the neighbor's house and scatter his secret documents all over the lawn"

That makes a lot of sense now, doesn't it? Perhaps if you're seven. And drunk.

Aside from the validity of the charges, this manner of social justice never ever works for the people who try it. Good grief, did we learn nothing from Ghandi or MLK Jr.? There's a perfectly legitimate and effective way to denounce injustice. I think either you understand the problems with what they are doing from looking at history or you become so enamored with their cause you allow yourself to become feeble-minded.

I hate the security state that we're living in. But I hate even more people taking it on themselves to administer justice in this fashion. If you make me pick, I'm going with broken security state over anarchists every time -- and there are hundreds of millions of folks just like me. And the the thing I hate worst? Somebody taking _my_ legitimate cause and crapping all over it by doing things like this. It's an attack on freedom-loving people everywhere.

If the local prosecutor lets a murderer go free? I don't go burn the prosecutor's house down. If the local sheriff is corrupt? I don't break into his house and publish his papers in the newspaper. If the guy next door is crooked and in cahoots with the mob? I don't get to break in his house and hand out his property to the poor. In short, the minute I start deciding on my own when to break the law and disrespect other people's property rights because of a cause -- even a legitimate cause -- I become an enemy of everybody. You don't get to wave your hands around angrily pointing out how worthy your cause is and get a free pass. At least not from me.

"Mashable has a pony!"
That's current accounts for the country (i.e. inflows less outflows), not "cash hoards". There's no easy way to measure a country's "cash hoard", as it were. GDP goes up with the number of transactions, even if there is no value added in each transaction. Money is just a way of making value liquid, fungible and transferrable etc.; the amount of it specifically is relatively meaningless, as banks etc. can multiply it based on reserve ratios.

I wonder how "world's top 100 wealthiest entities" comes out as.
I hope someone who knows more about this than I do will reply, but here goes.

These markets are for stock in corporations that are not publicly traded. The paperwork to set up a corporation is pretty easy to create, but the paperwork to be a publicly traded corporation that can sell stock to John Q Public is something like several million dollars a year in lawyer/accountant fees. Startups are seldom able to afford that when they're working out of a basement, or even after thay've grown to a dozen people, so they rely on accredited investors. Accredited investors are people the government has decided are sophisticated enough that they can be allowed to invest in small companies that haven't yet been able to do all the paperwork that makes you a publicly traded company. However, they are usually buying stock from the company itself, rather than from the cofounders/early employees directly.

Lets say a cofounder/early empoyee needs some money (maybe there's an illness in the family or something). They're going to want to turn some of their stock into money even though the company hasn't gone public or been bought out yet. However, if they haven't signed anything preventing this they can find an accredited investor and sell them some of their stock directly. Many companies try to prevent or limit this because if too many people become shareholders then the company becomes public by default, which might mean the company has to fold. These markets would be a way to hook up people with stock in non-publicly traded companies with people who want to buy it.

So it really isn't that the markets are small and not yet regulated, but rather that the companies in them are small and not yet regulated.

It's a pain point if you have 1000 of friends. Right now, that's not the case if you use Google+. So Google+ solves a pain point only if they have traction, but if their main selling point is solving filtering.. then traction will be hard to get. It's a chicken and egg problem. It's like investing your money. It's pointless to even talk about it if you're in debt. Get out of debt first, then worry about investing.

Working Paper: “Edit Wars in Wikipedia”
> Aside from the validity of the charges, this manner of social justice never ever works for the people who try it.

I dunno, the Pentagon Papers had fairly significant political effects, I think. Stealing government documents and having them published overseas to embarrass/expose the state's actions was also one of the more effective tools used by opposition groups in Eastern Europe and the USSR.

Do you really think stealing a state's documents is an attack on "freedom-loving people everywhere"? Is this always true? The Eastern-block dissents hated freedom, and damaged the cause of freedom by stealing/leaking Stasi documents?

I could certainly agree that the Stasi is much worse than the UK government, so maybe you could draw a line between a certain level of viciousness of the security state, past which document-theft becomes justified. But I don't see how you could make a blanket statement that it's never justified.

I would also make a distinction between breaking into a person's house and breaking into a government's office. Breaking into someone's home has a certain personal-threat aspect to it, and I'd consider homes to have a bit of a sacrosanct element that I wouldn't extend to state offices. So, probably not in favor of combatting a corrupt police force by breaking into the sheriff's home. But, combatting a corrupt police force by breaking into a police station and grabbing their files, as happened recently in Egypt, seems a bit different.

"In other roles, I've been in 4x4 high-wall cubes in windowless pens with 40 people where the brightest colors in the room were the red nubs on IBM thinkpads. That was a miserable working environment."

I work in one of those environments right now, and let me tell you, I am honestly 500% more productive on those occasional days where I work from home. Not just happier, but leaps and bounds more productive.

It's not just the change in surroundings, but also the change in attitudes. People seem to be less susceptible to the subtle inanities of "office mode" when out of the office. For instance: when I'm working from home, I can be efficient. I don't need to fritter away 4 or 5 hours straight in strings of pointless meetings. (That's not a critique of group collaboration, per se, but a critique of meetings-for-the-sake-of-meetings, which are quite common in corporate America and probably account for 75% of the weight of my meetings in any given week).

I can see going either way with or without the year, but not for the reason you stated. If you are writing the exact same title for a blog post then the year should probably be in the actual title because that most likely is an important piece of the article (thinking "Resolutions - 2011"). The reason I might include a year in the path is just to let users know quickly how old the material is when they see a link to your article, but then again do you really want to let them know that before click into your site?

The Lulzsec crew and Wiki Leaks strikes a nerve like modern day Robin Hoods. It makes you wonder if those of us in wealthy democracies are actually experiencing a peculiarly 21st century form of passive aggressive oppression where we may be "free" but monitored and essentially feel helpless and the fact that these unknown hackers are able to duck and evade the same forces that can hunt and kill terrorists with disregard of sovereignty makes them look like folk heroes. We'll see how this saga unfolds.
The "out of sight, out of mind" treatment is hard to get away from if you work in a office where telecommuting isn't the predominant mode.

You have to work harder during your in-office time to create facetime opportunities. That may mean doing the rounds, spending time in common areas, talking to someone face-to-face instead of emailing and, unfortunately, going to meetings.

Making your schedule of in-office/at-home days public knowledge helps colleagues from scheduling important events on your at-home days (but not all the time).

It's also vitally important to follow-up on your phone and email conversations. It's too easy for people to ignore your VM's and emails so, you have to make them accountable digitally as well as in-person.

It's more work to make sure you're not forgotten but, for me, giving up the commute is worth it.

Should you be marketing on Google+?
Yes, this was my impression/confusion exactly. Even seeing "under pressure" at the top, I still thought the list was fish that are safe to eat, in light of or despite pressures.

It would be good to have a second list along side, fish that are safe to eat. Or just one list, safe and sustainable.
I find that working from home 2 days a week is a very good change of pace. I get to avoid the commute, and I can just hop on conference calls with people back east or overseas right away in the morning (I live in California, and work with people all over the US, as well as in Europe and Asia). I still get to meet people in the local office, have lunch, and so on a few days a week, though, as well as get away from the house.

I did end up putting together a large "standing desk" area in the garage, though, in our detached garage. The house was just a bit too crowded. Putting together the space in the garage, complete with air conditioner, was a good thing.
I've yet to see any other form of western activism that is as disruptive as leaking/hacking

I think that nails it. These days, the internet is the backbone of our world. There is no form of activism more effective than taking control of online resources, or releasing information.

If a form of activism is socially acceptable it probably means it is not effective anymore. Why go on the street to just get beaten up - and ignored by the media - when hacking is so much more effective in garnering attention for your cause?
That was my first thought, too.

Ask HN: People of SFO, help
Morning all,

I'm thinking of coming to SFO for a month to work, not a new job - I can do what I'm doing now but in SFO.

The thing is that I don't want want to come over and just sit and work in an empty office, then go back to my accommodation. I'd be coming out to meet y'all, make new contacts and expand my horizons so to speak.

So my question is: where is there to work? Good co-working spaces? Regular meetups? Pubs over-run by tech geeks?

Thanks!

Can't eat beef because of mad cow and the heavy medication used in breeding; same goes for pigs and chicken and all other mass-produced meat. On top of that you have the question of animal cruelty and the questionable necessity of killing animals to eat them attached to it. Plus it is generally not that healthy to eat it all the time and you shouldn't eat meat more than once or twice a week or so.

Can't eat fish for all the mercury and lots of them being close to extinction and it kills dolphins and damages the oceans.

Can't eat eggs or milk, again for cruelty and various possible diseases or other contamination.

And vegetables and fruits? Well, practically all of the mass produced ones never EVER saw any soil or real sunlight but artificial gel to grow on and were picked by poor and heavily underpaid and downright exploited people from (and typically in) poor countries under inhuman conditions and bought by the rich nations for next to nothing. (here is to you, militant vegetarians!) On top of that they are heavily laden with chemicals of all sorts and chances are when you get to buy them, they are far from being fresh.

Plus for practically all the food mentioned above: production heavily, grossly outranks what actually ends up being bought... so we just dump it, burn it or do FSM-knows what with it. We certainly do NOT give it to the starving people in this world because it would cost too much.

And if you go organic and local farmers only? Apart from few choices, you have even less inspections and regulations to protect your safety because you don't know what they are selling, what it grew on and how clean and safe to eat it is. And some of it just taste absolutely horrible.

This is just pathetic... the whole food industry, front to back, top to bottom. If you go by the warnings on what to avoid, what is dangerous for your health and what is immoral and wrong to eat, we better come up with a way to get by on nothing but sunlight and water quickly.

But then again, fresh water supplies are currently being bought up by Big-Food to make lots and lots of money and water in bottles is very often not as clean as one might hope and certain chemicals from plastic bottles could basically work like estrogen in your body.
Is sitting on a cash hoard extracting value for the shareholders?
This applies almost exclusively to B2B markets with high price points. Even then, the quoted price makes a big difference.

If I'm spending money, I care more about my cash outlay than about the optimistic estimates of someone who a) believes in their product, and b) doesn't know my business. But moreover, lots of products have no measurable ROI: it's a little amusing to imagine a grocery store using this kind of pricing.

I guess the best way to illustrate this is to note that I can get the author a 200% ROI by editing and perhaps rewriting this blog post. All he has to do is send me a blank check and I'll get started.

Even if your state elects the smartest senator there has ever been, he still becomes part of the massive lumbering machine. And the machine is only as smart as it's dumbest person. The US Government has so much baggage now that it's nigh impossible to make anything but superficial changes.
A significant goal of the movement is to bring to light just how insecure systems can be, and to not trust those who fail to protect. And to claim all they could do then is to DoS is the same BS write-off that you hear around here everyday, which is also disproven daily. Nothing is ever that secure.

But do you really think all this will cause govts/corporations the get more serious about security? Why now and not a decade, two decades ago?
for my health, until I scrolled to the bottom.
Well, as far as multiple displays is concerned MacOS UX has been broken since day one. It is absolute lunacy to have the menu bar for an application pinned to the first display while the application opens in a second or third display.

Our Macs have two or three 24 inch monitors, which makes you realize just how dumb the whole thing is. If you are working on an application on the left monitor and need to access a menu item you have to mouse all the way over to the middle monitor and then back. Do this 200 times a day and you very quickly realize just how stupid the whole thing is.

Furthermore, the menu bar might not necessarily contain menu items for the application you are looking at because you happen to have clicked on the desktop or another application.

Yes, of course, you can mentally manage the concept. That does not mean that it is a good idea.

Linux, Irix, Solaris, Windows and other OS GUIs have gotten this right from the very start. The application is a self contained window and every instance travels with its own controls. No need to mouse across 72 inches of monitors to get to a menu.
That's a way to look at things that has some value from a decision-making perspective, but it's not the only way. When people talk about there being little risk to opening a business nowadays, they mean there is little risk of an outcome more catastrophic than a little wasted time — the outcome might not necessarily be rosy, but you can keep going and hardly miss a beat. If you forgo that six-figure paycheck for a business that goes belly-up, good news: You're still the kind of person who can get a six-figure job tomorrow.

I'm not sure what kind of parallel universe this guy is living in. If somebody wouldn't quote me a price for something but would only say 'you'll make it back in 2 months!' (without making any guarantees or sharing any of the risk), I'd laugh him out of the room.

For those that didn't read the Ars review: Apple has done major security updates in Lion, including the use of sandboxing. I suspect the OS isn't giving Flash permission to directly access the hardware. If true, Adobe will need to release an update to fix it.

Interesting analysis. Would be an interesting experiment to look at how the shared items gain velocity and what they look like. Even more interesting would be to compare them to the curves that reddit published for items that make the front page over there.
