@chmars: As a user who is recently trying to understand Privacy Policies, can you please explain what is meant by "appropriate level" in there Privacy Policy:

The User agrees that such data may be processed in conjunction with third parties in Switzerland and other countries with an appropriate level of data and information privacy...

Also who is an example "third party".
I wish to know this since I am working on consumer application myself that would need very strict Privacy guidelines.
Anyone else may also answer, thanks.
This is a horrible situation for your business. I hope you get everything worked out soon.

I won't explain the details, but I have extensive experience with bureaucracies and base my advice below on this experience.

1. Adopt the Socratic method. Answer questions with questions. Do not commit to any description of reality made by others (as much as possible).

2. Understand that the highest levels of leadership are political appointments and they promote their patron's interests. eg: Does your brother-in-law know the dept. mayor's wife? Explore your network of friends and family for political influence.

3. When you write:
"Now, I do not know about the titles and hierarchies involved in the county organizational chart,"
I very much feel you need to hire a lawyer that specializes in these kinds of disputes to advise you. Not necessarily take legal action, but to explain your options. The bureaucrats will know the rules well. You need an expert on your side.

4. Use these words, "What would you do if you were me?", when you find yourself at a road block. Also ask questions like "has your office ever issued a waiver for [problem]?" and "who has authority to issue the waiver?"; naturally followed by, "may I speak with this person of power?" The answer will be no, so you should ask questions like "whom does the person of power report to?" You won't get instant solution, but things will start moving behind the scenes.

The bureaucrat's goal is to get you to accept their 'no' or 'wait and see', so you will go away. Your goal has to be acting nice and reasonable, but persistently questioning the management of the process. It will become easier for them to get you in compliance than continue to deny you.

Sadly, this adds much delay and expense.

Best of luck to you.

If you think there is no monkey business in tech... well, I've got a bridge you can invest in:-)

I think that tech is certainly a growth sector, but does that translate into buying into stocks in the whole sector and coming out ahead? There is some pretty vicious competition, no? DEC, SGI, Yahoo, Altavista, Wang Laboratories, Commodore International... the list of companies that once flew high and then tanked is fairly long.

GC per lightweight thread does not imply stop-the-world approach as in Go.

Also process is heavier entity for OS kernel in comparison to thread (address space, file descriptors are all per-process objects, not per-thread, thread is just a unit of processor time scheduling). Chrome tabs are processes for security reasons. Chrome trades speed for security in this context.

@brainless: I am only a user of connex.io, i.e., I cannot give you any authoritative answers. I assume that third parties include for example hosting providers and cloud services. 'Appropriate' is probably based on the relatively strict data privacy regulations in Switzerland.
Even if a system is C you can say it is making assumptions. The point is to make as few as practical.

I think they are trying to learn from Erlang, not replicate it completely. The key point is that the missing feature can be pretty trivially made up for by libraries and convention. Which again, seems like an apt choice for a systems language.

"What stories require 10s of millions of dollars to bring to life? Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance of the film industry. But, what stories require 10s of millions to make?"

Any science fiction/fantasy movie with complicated sets and lots of effects for one.
Any historical piece, with revives an older world.
Anything involving lots of actors.
Anything involving even one famous actor.

10 million dollars is at the absolutely bottom end concerning most of the famous Hollywood movies. Budgets around 70M-100M+ is the norm.

brainless, I am a Co-Founder of connex.io and as such have worked on our Privacy Policy. The shorter blue explanation on the side further explains what each clause is about.

To sync your address book we have to work with third parties (e.g. Google for Gmail) but we cannot be responsible for their data privacy procedures. We take all the steps necessary to keep your data private (encryption in transfer and while resting) and only sync data to services that you specifically connected and therefore gave us permission to sync with.

Basically we strongly believe that privacy is sacred when it comes to address book and our philosophy in this regard is: Your data is yours and yours alone. We only use the data you provide us with to provide you with the best possible address book. You can delete your data at any time and you can also export it in a standardized format (vCard).
Well, I want to see movies not made for everyone. Like "Primer" for example.

Erlang's style per-process garbage collection requires (or at least favors) passing messages by value between processes.

Both Go and Rust - being relatively low level - prefer passing pointers (references) rather than the data itself. This requires a shared GC heap.

You my friend need a good old friendly slap in the mush. Because otherwise, you will never be successful. Its as simple as that.

Over with the harshness, I know what you mean. I used to be self employed and at times I found it tough, I'll use an analogy. I used to set my alarm, and snooze for about 30 minutes, now I snooze once and I'm out of bed within 5 minutes. The hardest part of starting your day is getting your arse out of bed.

I would recommend two things:

1) Create a trivial task that just "gets you started". Maybe thats making a list, reading a industry report. Is it lack of inspiration thats failing to get you going in the morning?

2) Make sure what your doing is right. I have a saying, if something doesn't feel right, something is usually wrong. What I mean by that is, if I feel something is too hard, or making me feel uneasy or - say - I'm not motivated, its probably the sign of something bigger. Maybe I'm working on the wrong thing?

Additionally, I'm 22. My qualification to write this comment is I am incredibly motivated, I do a 10 hour day at another startup, then I work on my own site which is just finishing. I'd guess your about the same? Actually, I just read, you've a wife, I'd pin you as older in that case.

You know what, being a senior yourself, scrap all of what I said. You just need a slap in the mush ;)

If you've excited, holiday. Relax. Do what you gotta do. There's a great saying about procrastination and I forget who said it but its something along the lines of "time worried about procrastination is time wasted, if your going to procrastinate, enjoy it".

Best of luck man, maybe you should consider getting a hotdesk or something, too.

Enjoy your day!
Another solution where I'm expected to upload my address books to an untrusted third party to sell to the highest bidder. This data is worth a lot, it's not surprising that organisations are popping up to "store" it for you.
Because on one side you are discriminating against people, and on the other you aren't? They're not just opposite ends of the same spectrum, they're completely different. The opposite of communism isn't facism, it's capitalism - and the opporsite of facism isn't communism, it's just non-racism.

There's a highly effectivy method called symptothermal method. It is basically a combination of temperature measuring and cervical mucus observation, as both symptoms change during the menstrual cycle and when ovulation occurs, you can tell from the symptoms. After you successfully determined that the ovulation passed, a woman is infertile until her next cycle starts.

This means that during that time, you don't need any condoms or anything.

Unfortunately, while being extremely well-researched in Germany for more than 30 years, it is quite uncommon in the US and only known as "Fertility Awareness", which is not the "pure" symptothermal method. The method is oftentimes associated (wrongly) with Christian groups.

You can check out Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_awareness

Edit: Perfect use application of the "pure" symptothermal method has a Pearl Index of 0.4 (99.6% effectiveness) and typical use is 1-3 (97-99%). This is quite comparable to the pill.
I personally do not believe all startups are trying to sell private data. But if we assume some are, how do you tell the good one from the bad? Do we not use these applications then?

Or are there industry standards within reach of startups that can assure data security?

I have a bunch of Android phones here (developer/reviewer) and none except for Motorola phones (Droid 4, Droid Bionic) seem to set the time 15 seconds ahead checking using http://time.is

For example, the Droid 4 was 14.6 seconds off, and Droid Bionic was 14.8 seconds off...

This seems to be a vendor specific issue, as none of the non-motorola phones (Galaxy Nexus GSM/UMTS, Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE on VZW, Nexus S, Galaxy Note, Tab 10.1LE, a Qualcomm development MDP) are anywhere near 15 seconds, all are +/- fractions of a second, like you'd expect.

Since I am in this exact situation (lost OpenID provider), can you explain how does this work? Any link to documentation?
This is totally genius. The lesser of two evils I admit when compared to pay-for-content, but a pretty good gimmick. I think the model of paying for things in essentially data is totally revolutionary. Its been implicitly done for so long, and we've become desensitised to it - if its as simple as me lending a click with no further disruptions I see that a fair trade, and its a currency I'd be happy to pay with.

In the same breath I hope its implemented sparingly, and future iterations don't fall too far from the tree, its one of the few things I've seen that could also seriously disrupt the flow of the net. Having to click one of those, and fill out a CAPTCHA would seriously get on my nerves and stem the smoothness of browsing IMO.

There's definitely a startup or two to come out of this space.
Edison was exactly the kind of person that I do not want to become.
If it can get a million dollars for a _video game_, you don't think it could get a hundred million to cure all viral disease?

The difficulty, of course, is convincing the donors that the likelihood of success is high; with a video game from a reputable publisher, it's near 1, whereas it's much lower for an experimental drug. But the potential gain is certainly many orders of magnitude greater.

I'm sure there's still a store in my town that would sell me a television. But I have no idea where it is.
You know, there are some things that --to me-- absolutely identify a newcomer to this programming/computer thing.

One is the belief that it would be to good to write everything in assembly (from OSs to browsers to games) so that it would be faster. See they heard that assembly is faster and lower-level, so "the more the merrier, right"?

Another (that you don't get much nowadays, but there was a time in the early 90's that was very common) was this fascination with Ada. Mostly because of all the marketing and BS articles at the time. The reasoning here was "well, if they use that for missiles and F16s, it must be the best, right?"
Here is my take on it: http://www.gibney.org/calculator

Firstly, while I'm not very familiar with Erlang or its runtime, afaik Erlang processes are not actual OS processes.

Secondly threads were originally created as a cheaper alternative because spawning processes was too expensive (on Windows). The original reason for Chrome using processes was that processes gives you memory protection. But I don't know how much it really helped them in the end, because they quickly noticed that using one process per tab doesn't scale. Thus Chrome (at least originally) limited the maximum number of processes to ten.

Some Reasons Programmer Co-Founders Can Be Picky and Elusive

1. Risk is typically front-loaded for the programmer so they have to be more cautious. A programmer with no skills is much easier to spot early on than a business person with no skills.

2. The "programmer" role can often include many tasks that have nothing to do with programming. Often times "programming" means UI, UX, server management, DB management, server-side coding, API coding, website coding, and mobile development. For really inexperienced business co-founders this role may also include business card and flyer design, video demo creation, and remembering the company Wifi password.

3. 10% equity after doing 85% of the most important work is not a good deal, especially in a market where you're skills are in high demand.

4. Quality programming is not a commodity. Programming is more akin to painting or novel writing. A programmer may have an idea or possibly an outline to start but when the time comes their still free-styling most of it while forming new ideas as they go.

5. Technical co-founders are often willing to learn the business side of things. Business co-founders typically want nothing to do with learning the technical side of things.

So for your good. Don't even enter this spammers site.
