Lawyers do not charge for the documents. They charge for customizing documents to a client's individual set of facts. All lawyers create their own set of tested templates that they reuse and customize for later clients. Orrick is simply offering their templates for free.

The components of what should go in business incorporation documents are already effectively standardized by legal education, legal treatises, or case law. Furthermore, Orrick is merely but one of many "BigLaw" firms that cater to startups and those other firms are not likely to adopt Orrick's language as their standard. Consequently, it is unlikely that Orrick will establish any sort of de facto standards for tech startups.

I agree that it makes no sense to say "you are the exception to the rule" when there is not exclusivity...this is a public article on the internet after all.

Just because an article goes a bit over the line in making a case does NOT invalidate the main point. The main point, as I hear it, is that Silicon Valley and tech are a giant echo chamber, and unless you're actively involved in marketing and/or managing product development you and your friends may have a VERY distorted picture of market needs, niches, opportunities. It is worth meditating on the fact that business development / marketing is a highly creative endeavor. It is a career, and successful companies pay smart people lots of $$$ to do it well.

So the message I get is, "when you tell your friend about your idea, and you friend says, 'I would never pay for that', don't lose hope because your friend may not be in your market'.

I find it funny how much emphasis creators are putting on how things are developed in the USA. If someone puts that up as a feature of their product all I hear is "We have issues in our product but you'll put up with them because we are playing the demagogic card."
Yeah, Firebug is one of those leaky addons. Give 15 (Aurora) a shot; other Firebug users have said that it's much improved.

Very cool to see that this awesome game was this first foray into programming for others, as it was for me :)
We would love to support Android, but two issues are currently preventing us from doing that:

1) A low percentage of currently shipping devices support Bluetooth low energy. We expect this to change in the future, but it's hard to explain to consumers which models will and won't work. We think we would probably get a lot of users buying are device for incompatible handsets, which would result in a lot of returns and unhappy users.

2) BLE isn't supported in the base Android distribution. In order to support it you need to use different BLE stacks depending on the device vendor, which would be a huge potential ongoing maintenance and QA burden.

Having said that, we're hopeful Google will add support for BLE with a standard API in a future release, and at that time we will seriously evaluate supporting it.
Firebug is most likely the culprit [1]. Firefox 15 will have a general fix for the kind of memory leaks such as the one caused by Firebug (affectionately called "Hueyfix" after its inventor Kyle Huey by some) [2].

"When we look at futuristic computing devices in movies such as Minority Report
or Avatar, do we think 'Neat, but those definitely don't look upgradeable. No
thanks.'"

When did "movie coolness" become a legitimate metric (let alone an important
metric) to gauge the value of technology?

"devices that are more about the human interface and less about the components
is a form of a categorical imperative"

If you are going to toss around weighty philosophical terms like "categorical
imperative" I think it is important that you do not beg the question in the
process. The author assumes that "hackability" is not a component of the human
interface? In my opinion the human interface includes a discussion of user
serviceable/upgradeable hardware. It is certainly not the most important aspect
but of the human interface but it is on the list.

I also think it is a little curious that the author does not mention what brand
of PCs he bought. If I had to guess I would say that the omission was because it
was hardly an apples to apples comparison. All of my thinkpads have lasted a lot
longer than two years...

PS

If we are going to talk about human interfaces lets drop the CSS floating

Because their ruling class was a brutish sibling to the Anglosphere's, and we were giving them massive amounts of economic and military support to dominate and terrorize 90% of their country's population in what was effectively a set of really large concentration camps?
I bet this is a very effective way for them to reach their target audience, not at all a huge waste of time and money. Next, they should release some whitepapers about their new iOS browser in ODF format and a podcast in Ogg Vorbis, that will really get the word out there.
I never said you shouldn't try implementing division yourself; everyone should try implementing everything themselves someday. I'm saying that anyone can, if they wish, do a lifetime of useful work (including writing "real-time 3D engines") without ever knowing or implementing a division algorithm. They will start with anything they want.
When full monitoring is needed (like for the top keys) but still the analysis must be run continuously on a production instance, maybe in the next version of MONITOR (already planned) we could say to it "give me N items and return back in normal mode", or a similar thing but with time (for instance 1 millisecond), so that it is possible to perform some kind of polling that has no serious impacts on the server. Well I'll think about this when I'll reimplement monitoring :)
Yes, I've heard that reasoning over and over again and it just doesn't hold water at all for me. "Time-saving" just doesn't work at that level of minutiae.

Again, it's simply optimization where none is needed.

There's a lot of irony in linking people to the word Luddite when the author himself uses it incorrectly.

I love that inserting a sim correctly is somehow a "hack". I've literally talked my then 75 year old grandmother through reseating memory over the phone.

If anything, the closed nature of the hardware is going to make actually fixing things a lot more valuable.
The biggest challenge with per-tab processes (Firefox's Electrolysis or e10s feature) is maintaining add-on compatibility. Chrome didn't have add-ons at first and didn't need to worry about backwards compatibility (at the time).

Firefox is also working on per-tab event queues to improve UI responsiveness. In the meantime, I recommend Firefox users check out the experimental "Suspend Background Tabs" add-on. Written by the author of Adblock Plus, Suspend Background Tabs will pause JavaScript execution and timers for background tabs.

The laptop he's talking about is from 2001. It's 11 years old. Of course it can't replace a modern dev machine! However, it still works as a machine and a 4 year old child is using it as an introductory machine. That doesn't sound like dead laptop; it sounds like one that has exceeded expectations and continues to work in a limited capacity (like a Mars rover!).
Incredibly annoying blue lines...
Slander? Not a chance. I do not think you understand what the requirements for a slanderclaim are.

As I said I was nitpicking. :)
When he says "Do we imagine that such progress is achieved through the kind of Luddite thinking that leads people to value "hackability" over never-before-achieved levels of precision and portability?" he pretty much proves that he does not understand either the word Luddite or it's origins. Essentially Ned Ludd was rebelling over looms that had been 'hacked' with the technology of the day. A complete contradiction to what the author said.
Well, just stop doing that without going bully on them?

You made it bad by supporting them and then made it even worse by cutting support really fast and isolating them.

It's amazing how you got the worst outcome possible. Glad they more or less survived it anyway. It could me much worse.

Private conversations, family photos, and records of road trips, births, marriages, and deaths all stream into the company's servers and lodge there. Facebook has collected the most extensive data set ever assembled on human social behavior. Some of your personal information is probably part of it.

There are some positives that come from this — the article gives the example of improving organ donor registrations — but they lost my trust long ago. It feels wrong for any one private entity to have so much data on so many people. Then again, I'm not sure whether I'd prefer it to be any one government either.

Is it not the case that having a Facebook account, even a sparsely populated one, is incompatible with maintaining any semblance of control over your online identity, PII, privacy? Plus FB creating "shadow profiles" for non-members[0] would suggest they're tracking me even 18 months after deleting my account. They've closed the catch-22 loop.

Eventually you would get no people spending anything on creation because it would simply be cheaper to use something that someone else has already created.

This conversation is ludicrous. All I want is ram that isn't soldered in so I can upgrade it at a later date. If this takes me out of the Apple's target demographic (which I most certainly believe it does) then so be it.
There's no really good way around it other than by changing the attitudes of the culture. At present, people generally like their nanny state and want more of it, not less. So we'll all suffer the consequences in the meantime.

Very nice! And especially clever that the DSL is the usage help we all know and love. I'm never happy about the amount of code normally required to write these.

You, and everyone with diabetes, should seriously read the first chapter of this book [1]. The author discovered he could treat his wife and son's diabetes with a major diet change, by eliminating all foods that cause a blood sugar (and resulting insulin) spike - sugar, HFCS, grains, most processed food, etc.

His assertion is that he current method of treating diabetes is based on classical mechanics, 1-in-1-out, etc., where you measure your blood sugar and try to manually maintain it at a certain level with sugar and insulin.

But ...

1) the human body is a complex, non-linear, dynamic system. It is based on and responds to signalling, genetic triggers, etc., and ...

2) you don't need to micromanage your body, it will take care of itself as long as you don't essentially poison it.

3) the old method presumes there is something wrong with your body, when in actuality, the problem is with the way your body reacts to 'modern' (post-agricultural) foods. Diabetes is a symptom of that, so cut those foods out, and diabetes goes away.

It may not apply to all types of diabetes, IANAE, but seriously, stop by a bookstore and spend 20m reading just the first chapter (maybe 2, can't recall exactly), and figure out if it's something worth looking into further.

The laptop I'm using now, and have been using for a bit over a year now is --not sure of the exact vintage but-- pre-2004.
It is my every day machine at home.

Now I haven't actually upgraded it in that time, so it's not really a data point against unserviceable machines but it's sure as hell a data point against 2 year life spans.

thats profound. you bring up a good point that it will ow be fairly straight forward to map, find, and correct jammed (or low power) GPS signal.

i have long thought government postal carriers and other government vehicles should be required to stream realtime road congestion and traffic flow data.. this data could also show jammed or poor reception.
For most of history, artists operated under the patronage system and were paid to create works. Almost every dead artist from the pre-copyright era who is still revered today was either a product of the patronage system or born into a wealthy family.
I know I start sounding like a broken record for those who read my comments regularly in these kind of threads, but I always feel inclined to point out that Chrome's much-lauded architecture has clear limitations once you start to push it too hard. I'm certainly not a typical user as I exhibit heavy tab usage. And I've used Chrome for weeks at times as my primary browser so I've come to know its advantages and disadvantages. Web pages may be given their own processes but they are not completely isolated from the browser process (containing the UI) since they have to communicate in order for the user to have something to see and interact with. And there are bottle-necks in the browser process. With too many open, active tabs the interface starts to stall badly. And the memory usage goes through the roof which causes the OS to swap pages from other applications out of memory which really hampers performance of the entire system. Chrome is optimized for the common case (very few tabs) but it doesn't scale well (i.e. at all) beyond this.

Whatever Mozilla will do to lessen the impact of content on the interface, I hope that they won't go down the same disastrous path as Chrome and make the browser unusable for any use other than the browser is optimized for. Right now I can have ~100 tabs open with Firefox thanks to excellent memory usage (including suspending tabs) and an interfaces which scales well (Panorama, switch to tab, tab overflow, etc.)

But I can see why Chrome is so attractive for many users. If you stay within its comfort zone the responsiveness is extremely pleasant in day-to-day usage.

Do we imagine that such progress is achieved through the kind of Luddite thinking that leads people to value "hackability" over never-before-achieved levels of precision and portability?

OK, that makes no sense whatsoever. I don't think the OP really knows what he's talking about on this bit. "Luddite thinking" is what leads to a desire for upgradability and hackability? Really? WTF?

If anything, it's exactly the opposite. Hackers are the ones who like to take things apart, explore them, explore their boundaries and find ways to push them beyond their boundaries and do things they weren't meant to do. If you can somehow make that into an analogy for Luddite thinking... well... your analogy is flat wrong.
Wow! A proper outage post-mortem that isn't babbling on about control rods. I love it.
>> Do we imagine that such progress is achieved through the kind of Luddite thinking that leads people to value "hackability" over never-before-achieved levels of precision and portability?

I don't think that's precisely fair. I'm not exactly a fan of King Ludd - I like machines a lot, I like taking them apart and putting them back together and doing cool things with them. For this reason, though I think they're really neat, and I've even thought about it just because they're so cool, I don't think I'll ever buy a Macbook.

Even so, I am not foolish enough to believe everyone is just like me on this count. I've even recommended Macbooks to at least three friends, helping them purchase and set them up, not that anybody needs much help with such intuitive machines. They're just not for me, and I know why - because I'd like to be able to disassemble them, and at the very least I'd like to be able to add or replace my own RAM.

Does that really make me a Luddite?
My main workstation (does 80% of the work) is an old Lenovo R61 thinkpad. About 5 years old, no repairs whatsoever. Well, if we don't include all the OS installs I've borked.
It does need a new fan, but I plan on replaicing it.
This comment was 1000x better than the article. Thanks for the laugh!

If we all agree now that "hacking" cannot be stopped (at least not while we cling to the internet's current architecture), then why do we need these snake-oil styled "consultants"? To come up with "statistics" that get the attention of the pointy-haired boss? They can make claims like "you've been hacked 342 times in the last year" but they are unable to prove anything. They cannot disclose the evidence so it's never peer reviewed. Nor do the bosses demand any proof or second opinions because they do not understand what they are paying these consultants for in the first place. It's the perfect scam.

It like kids who encourage other kids to fight, just for their own entertainment.

Ask HN: How do you make sure a B&B has wifi in the room?
My wife and I are going to do a "life style experiment". We want to work remote for a week.

Requirements seem simple:

* On the beach
* Nice porch to sit on
* Breakfast daily
* Wifi

AirBNB and VBRO won't make me breakfast. BedAndBreakfast.com won't tell me if the wifi is in the room.

How do you solve this issue without pounding through 50 B&B websites? Is there a market niche here?
Ditto. Especially since the OS UI standards are usually based upon empirical studies conducted by MS or Apple.
Totally fine as long as I don't have to use or maintain anything they build.

There is certainly space for an elite and useless parasitic upperclass of programmers working on things that only appeal to them (which I assume is the portion of Victorian society he is referring to: during that period most people were involved in mindless drudgery on the factory floor.) There just isn't space where one expects to be paid.
Don't think I want corporations to judge my morality before selling me goods. They might e.g. stop selling me stuff the other day because I torrent. Do I want that? I guess I do not!
That's not true. We opened a bank account using Harris Bank over the phone a couple months ago, with no problems.
His insights about problem solving and logical thinking are well worth a listen.
Sounds like a problem with your wifi being slow -- Mine will do >20MB/sec over 802.11n.

GigE can easily be saturated with a server like this.
I'd love to have this but it being iOS-only kills it for me. Any thoughts on opening up the spec? I'd love to implement this for both my laptop (Linux) and my Boot2Gecko phones.
Good points - people do need to remember that ZFS was designed for going big. IT does nothing to prevent memory corruption by design.... it was assumed (required?) that your server would use ECC ram.

You also need to ensure you have adequate ram for various cacahing, and CPU power as well for checksum calculation, among other things. It's not a lightweight FS. (in-memory corruption is an issue with all filesysems - just somewhat more-so with ZFS because it was designed specifically to assume you had reliable ram. You want ram to store the hash cache or whatever too....

One could chuck an SSD in there for cache, if memory is a limit, that should speed things up drastically.

And as with all raid-like systems - you want an appropriate number of hot-spares, cold spares, and a system that monitors it and acts appropriately, especially if you're going with huge drives on slow busses.

You want regularly scheduled scrubs, not too many snapshots, probably disable atime (noatime) to speed up those scrubs, and compression probably off....

dedup I'm still on the fence about - I leave it off, I can only see specific situations where it would be truly useful (dedup+verify)

This too, if we've degraded the options for "Hackability" to upgrading the components, then we may as well just say that the machine isn't hackable. (If the capability was designed to be there and is used for it's intended purpose then it doesn't qualify as a hack; period.)
if you search around the internet you'll find dozens of products that aren't complicated, but make stacks of Benjamin Franklins for the developers of those products

I think this is particularly true if you can target a point of friction in the sales process, e.g. real-estate. I have had agents tell me that if they think something will make them one extra sale a year they won't even hesitate to spend a couple of hundred dollars on it.
In Hebrew they also have голубой-tcheleth, and синий-kahol; but the threshold is significantly closer to the lighter part, so there could be said to be no direct correlation between the words. It is so up there, I'd bet, they do actually think them different colors. Так вот.
Definitely worth checking out on some VMs.....

But know that to really use it, you want decent CPU speed, as much ECC ram as you can put in there, an SSD for cache (just one - doesn't have to match the raid size I don't think - it'l help a lot) and you still need to take into account all the normal raid cautious everyone ignores like rebuild times for 2TB sata2 drives -vs- failure rates, etc.... and if you want to use dedup without verify, that's your gamble.(smarter people than me say it's safe, but it just smells wrong)
This.

There are two components in modern computers that are experiencing Moore's Law-style rapid improvement: RAM and SSD. Whatever you buy now is going to be obsolete (or half the price) in two years.

This means that I either have to overspend for bleeding-edge RAM capacity now, or replace the whole machine later. Neither are attractive options - especially with Apple's large built-in margin on upgrades.
It uses a custom UUID for advertising, but other than that it uses standard Bluetooth LE profiles for notification and battery status, so you should be able to do it...
as long as you have ECC ram. If not, you're at increased risk than most other filesystems (which are also at risk) - ZFS was designed with the requirement that RAM is reliable.
