State Secrets as Intellectual Property: How to Prosecute WikiLeaks
The way we are taught in america is that nothing happens outside of america. I am a high school sophomore and so far I have had to site through 5 years of American History classes, and no World History classes. In these classes we learn about the contributions of blacks to society, and in more recent history, the contributions of other races, but hardly anything about other countries unless we were at war with them.

We're taught as if there is a concrete separation between American History and World History, when in fact, teaching America separately means artificially separating it from the rest of the world and having to constantly compensate for that.
Gutenberg's real innovation was his type metal alloy. Most alloys shrink when cast in a mold, causing distortion. Depending on the alloy, type metal may even expand slightly. It gives a nice, sharply-defined character.

Gutenberg's type metal was also considerably harder than (say) pure lead, which made it possible to print thousands of impressions from one setup.
Difficulty is the deciding factor because the goal is the credential.
Greedo - it's not in North Carolina, is it?
I don't get the people complaining about the tort system. The tort system didn't create the losses here, the car and the driver created the losses. The people being severely injured created the losses, and frankly for severe injuries to 4 people in an accident that killed one person, $1.5 million is not an unreasonable estimate of the actual economic loss in this situation. The tort system is just allocating this loss to the parties involved.

The fact of the matter is that cars are dangerous instrumentalities. A car accident can create enormous costs. In car sharing, someone must bear the cost of this risk. With its $1m of liability insurance, RelayRides is taking on a fixed amount of risk, and allocating the rest to the car owner. I think you'd be stupid to take on this risk without more compensation than what RelayRides provides, but that's what Ms. Fong signed up for.
Yes, that's one part of it. The other part is the fact that from the surface, whichever direction you go is not into the sphere.
I just wish we had destructing assignment for other types as well. And maybe a proper pattern matching!

Just for comparison, here in the us insurance for a 25k car and minimal (some 100 or 300k for the described case in the article) plus uninsured driver would be well over 1.2k per month.

In other countries i paid that per year for way more peace of mind.

Absolutely. I am not arguing with this point.
"he point is not to mop floors for $20, but to create a website (essentially a business) that solves somebody else's pain. That is the essential idea. Find a pain, fix it, charge enough to make a profit and move on to the next pain point that needs fixing."

This sounds like a Ponzi scheme. Surely its not the case that millions of people can create millions of websites that solve each others problems.

The fact that non-white cultures also distort their youths' understanding of history to their own benefit isn't a valid argument for Americans to continue to do so. And it isn't a valid argument against skepticism on the part of students.
Zipcar and similar car clubs makes a lot more sense than car sharing. You essentially join Zipcar and share the liability and car ownership costs. $1 million is not enough coverage in the case of a catastrophic accident, and the law and insurance companies have not caught up to car sharing.

I would not rent my car out unless the liability issue was better taken care of. But then again, I don't get car sharing vs. car clubs.

If you need your car so little that you can rent it out, why not just join Zipcar or another car sharing club?

The US already aggressively taxes its citizens living abroad, and merely renouncing your citizenship does not end it. Not immediately, at least. Saverin will continue to owe taxes to the US government the same as any other US citizen living abroad, for ten years after renouncing his citizenship. This generally amounts to paying the higher of the local tax or the US tax. That's how it works for income tax anyway - not sure about capital gains.

So while I'm not surprised to see Chuck Schumer behind this piece of shit bill being proposed, as a US citizen living outside the US: fuck. $148,000 liability over five years, or $2 million net worth and you are assumed to have renounced for tax-evasion purposes. Fuck that shit.
Simply setting up LLC (or any other type of entity) is not sufficient. To shield your personal assets LLC needs to be properly capitalized and be managed like a proper business. Essentially, it will at least require carrying some kind of commercial insurance, plus having extra money in the bank for operating expenses (how much - depends on the business).
This sort of defeats the idea of effortless car sharing.

Clearly. The point is that this isn't some white thing. It's a universal flaw of human cultures that has resulted in much ignorance and atrocity throughout history.
But you can be smart about this by hedging your bets and still achieving the same effect. A degree in basket weaving and a degree in Engineering will both serve to expand your abilities by teaching you critical-thinking skills, teaching you how to communicate more effectively, and, in short, providing you with a framework for "learning how to learn". But one will make it far easier to get a job than the other.

My rule of thumb has always been this: Write down all of the things that you're interested in and would enjoy spending four years or so learning about. Then, from that list, pick the ones that are also employable to some extent. At the same time, don't simply pick a degree solely because of employment prospects, since markets are cyclical, even in classical STEM fields.
Money isn't the best way to judge intelligence either.
When is the student discount going to be available?
It seems less perverse when you think of tort liability as assignment of the costs of risk, rather than punishment for negligent behavior. When someone drives a car, this creates risk. Who should bear this risk? Somebody has to, the only thing the tort system decides is who. If you don't assign the risk to the owner of the dangerous instrumentality, then you assign it to either the operator or the general public. Assigning the risk to the public essentially socialized the costs of this activity (which generates private benefits), so as a practical matter the tort system allocates the risk to the owner and operator. Under this system the operator has a responsibility to use the dangerous instrument carefully, while the owner has the responsibility to carefully choose who operates the dangerous instrument.

The one thing I always miss on iPad editors is VIM Binding support: Especially on the iPad, where making selections with your finger is a pain, it is so relieving to be able to do a shift-b, 5j to select a piece of code, copy it and paste it somewhere else.

On normal computers, the existence of a trackpad or mouse makes navigating code possible. But on the iPad, I see a huge need for the kind of editing that VIM (or Emacs) enabled where you don't need to move your fingers from the keyboard to navigate. Sadly, the only way to have that on the iPad, right now, is running VIM in iSSH (needs server connection) or the ported VIM which doesn't run correctly on my iPad 3.

The audio crackles and distorts like crazy here, painful to listen to.
I do not think it is that clear-cut, even for car rentals. If the car owner knows or should have known that the one renting it was a clear danger, I think he should have some responsibility. I also think law agrees with that. If it does not, why then does one have to show a driver's license to rent a car?

The gray area:

- if the owner could have known of the danger, how much effort do we think he should make to find out what the danger is?

- how high a risk increase can the owner let go? For example, if a 18 year old with a whiskey bottle in hand and a couple of obviously drunk friends wants to rent 'the fastest sports car you have', is it sufficient to check that the guy has a driver's license and does not look drunk or high? Would a check that he is not drunk be sufficient?
This is a correct interpretation, and better expression of what I was trying to say -- essentially, there are still lots of basic problems that need fixing. A college graduate is well prepared to market themselves intelligently, in a trustworthy manner that can win confidence and work, even if the work is somewhat undesirable.
This is a welcome and timely article since I'm about to pull up stakes in Georgia and move to SF in late July (cue Otis Redding). I am planning on couch-surfing with friends for the first few weeks while I find a good sublet for a few months. Hopefully after that I can get an apartment when I have a job and know the neighborhoods a little better. Are rents really accelerating upward so quickly that I'm better off finding an apartment as soon as possible?
Has Your Older Hamilton Home Had Electrical Safety Upgrades?
From your username, I'm guessing you were born in 1983; I was too. There's a huge variety in American education so it's possible our experiences were completely different.

However, when I was in high school our textbooks were so concerned with political correctness that if anything they were overly focussed on diversity.

I took AP US history, World History, Asian History, and AP European History. The Average student only got one section of European history in the overall World History class.

>that white people invented absolutely everything and Europe is the only old world with history worth studying? Then again maybe it's changed in the past 15 years?

I find it very hard to believe (not impossible, just very unlikely) that you were actually taught that. More likely you just saw your history classes through your own biases.
The main thing is:

He doesn't really need one. Facebook is a premarital asset and he has no other assets. In California anything you own before marriage is yours including the gains on those assets and you can take money out and spent it on other things and as long as you can trace it back to the premarital money then your good to go.
There's nothing inherently wrong with a single-member LLC. The only issue with it is it's a relatively new entity and the body of legal precedents is not large, so it's hard to predict how a court would rule in any particular case.

Instead, you could use an S-corporation with the same result, but much better legal visibility.

The issue is, however, that you're now operating your own rental company. You'd need to capitalize it, buy commercial insurance, purchase various licenses, etc. This is probably not what clients of RelayRides had in mind.

Well, Steve Jobs is a bad example here because he did create the first personal computer, as opposed to traditional mainframes, that was more than an experimental computer programmed using a switchboard and outputting with pulses of lamps. Maybe this is the point of the article, that Gutenberg's press was to the previous presses as PCs were to mainframes, but if it is then it's confusing.

Bill gates is a worse example because his company didn't make hardware until much later.
God says...

15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank
as lead in the mighty waters.

15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee,
glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 15:12 Thou
stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy
habitation.

15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on
the inhabitants of Palestina.

15:15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab,
trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan
shall melt away.

As Peter Gadwa said on women, "When you lose, you lose; when you win, you really lose." Highs and lows balance-out. God is just.

20 Looking at his disciples, he said:

“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.

23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

24 “But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.

If they sell their ownership interest they clearly don't have liability. If they lease it, they are profiting from the operation of the dangerous instrument, why should they be insulated from the risks of that operation?

Again, realize that the tort system does not create the costs. Operation of dangerous things has inherent costs. Ownership of property implies the right to receive the benefits for that operation, so it should imply the obligation to bear the risks of that operation.

If you don't have any friends you can stay with in San Francisco, a good alternative is booking a bed in a hostel for a few weeks. They're cheap (as low as $25/day, if you're willing to share a room with a few people), centrally located, and sometimes offer perks like free breakfast and coffee. You should take a few extra precautions with your valuables -- I keep my laptop, wallet, and phone next to me when I sleep, instead of putting them in the locker -- but most of the people who pass through are young travelers. There are plenty of options to choose from in the Tendernob, which is basically a hostel/student district, and not nearly as bad as this blog post makes it sound.

I didn't completely understand on the first read what your app did. I read it as taking video of websites -- which is silly, but I thought I'd mention it.

It is beyond my understanding how could Ms. Fong-Jones even considered being responsible. This a complete bullshit.
It is like suing knife salesman for each harmful incident involving knifes he sold.

Also I don't understand why people here say that "In car sharing, someone must bear the cost of this risk.". If lightning would stuck that car, who would they sue, Zeus?
Agreed. I lived in the Bay Area for 10 years and while it's nice there, there are other places that are equally nice without the hassle of having to pay so much in rent. Think of it this way: Even if you cash out rather nicely from a startup (as I did), you still won't be able to afford to buy a house outright unless you want to go back to work right away.

I left for Austin, TX and I truly love it here. I'm running a tech company here, too, and so far we haven't had any problems finding talent--even a Python developer!

I wrote an article about living outside of the Valley, and whether it's worth it for you, here: http://www.erica.biz/2012/austin-vs-silicon-valley/ Nearly 2,000 people have read it, and there is some interesting discussion in the comments.
Also: bludgeoning someone to death is not an inherent risk of operation of a VHS tape. A fatal car crash is an undesired, but extremely common, foreseeable, and mostly unavoidable risk inherent in the operation of a car.
Can we please stop calling them "artists" and start calling them what they really are, vandals? There is nothing creating about what this guy did.

People slap the label "art" on crap too quickly. No, not all of it is art. Some of it is; but not all. Just because you can sling some pigment against a flat surface doesn't make it art, and just because you can draw disapproving looks from people doesn't make you an "artist".
I took Scott Hanselman's advice on productivity, and now look at me...
I supported Paul last time around and was disappointed to discover he wasn't really serious about (or maybe simply not prepared for) winning the primary or having a significant impact on US politics at the expense of his political party. I got the feeling he was perfectly content to let his r3volution get hijacked by the Tea Party and used to suit the purposes of various politicians. The money I donated was not used to mount a serious campaign, but was instead appropriated for other use once the campaign was conceded. I ended up having to vote for Bob Barr. Bob Barr! Fool me twice, you're not gonna fool me again. Paul seems like a good guy, but he's doing more harm than good squandering all these resources that might be better spent on someone who's actually serious about running a viable campaign.
Renting in SOMA right now is crazy, and 1 brs in the heart of SOMA near 4th and King are going for over $3000/month. If cost is an issue, places like SOMA, PacHeights, etc, are not good choices because it's super expensive. The danger with renting in SOMA is that unless you're moving into an old apartment, there is no rent control. If rent prices go up next year, you could find yourself paying $500+/month more next year.

Nob Hill, etc, has terrible, terrible parking. I have a good friend that lives there that I no longer visit unless it's in the middle of the day on Saturday, because of the terrible parking, you could literally spend 1 hr looking for parking after 6pm. If parking is not an issue (no car or get a scooter), then it's a viable option, but not having a car in the Bay Area ends up being severely limiting.

There are plenty of other cost-effective places on the west side of SF that can go for less than half the price of SOMA. For someone new moving into the area, my advice would be to get a cheap single place in Outer Sunset with hopefully a short-term lease, and then once you meet more people, you can band together with people that you know well and rent a bigger apartment somewhere else in the city. Signing a lease with someone that you don't know has tremendous long-tail risk, so I would take the hit in terms of moving a bit further away when you first move to SF, and do a lot of due diligence and get to know the city and your potential roommates better.

Another viable option is to not live in the city, especially if you don't work in the city. Places along the peninsula are much cheaper, and if you do work in FiDi or SOMA it's probably more cost effective to rent a place outside of SF and Caltrain it in.

My own strategy is:

1) Check Craigslist once an hour, or more depending on how much web surfing I'm doing.
2) If I find a place in an area that I like, I immediately contact them and ask for a showing that day or as soon as possible.
3) I come with all my documentation ready, including my checkbook.
4) If I like the place, I immediately submit an application.
5) Continue looking at other apartments, because they're no guarantee that I will get this one.

I've never personally heard of the law that says that you have to rent to the first qualified applicant, and it sounds unenforceable, so I wouldn't count on it. How do you determine who is "qualified"?

This is an old game played by most societies known as the 'Debtors Game' (see the book Games People Play). It's a way to force younger people to work, which is ironic today, given there is no work to have so it's just creating a new lower class of those in servitude. It's the new serfdom.
True. Perhaps 'services' or 'social networks' might be better words?
