I for one am against the tax thing. I just can't make any sense of it and I don't see why some of my money should go to artists I don't support.

If the link between creation and income is destroyed, then who gets to set who earns what?

Also, I maintain a list of music I like. I make sure I give back generously in one form or another to artists I like. That's why I've got hundreds of actual physical records. I sort the list using different criteria such as the perceived value of the record that made me tick, the perceived value of the artist/band's overall career, the artist/band's visibility, whether the artist/band actually need the money, etc...

Now, I need to precise that bands I listen to are pretty obscure, sometimes are side-activities for those involved and usually don't come any close to paying the bills.

I see two issues hiding

1. the greed of consumers who want the stuff for nothing and don't care about how artists eat and tour

2. the greed of record labels who don't believe another model is possible (listen and then decide if it's worth one's money)

I'm all for bandcamp-like structure that help serendipity as well as letting artists and sometimes listeners decide for their own.

Wholesale yes, but it's easy to get a card if you really want, and a lot of people in Romania have a card. Also you can get a one day pass. Worth it, because they negotiate very low prices with the suppliers.

When MS came with the name Metro, I knew that there might be some problems, but then I thought that for sure MS has an army of lawyers and they figured everything out.
I get the same thing too, but people seem hyper-scared for our family when I'm at home with our twin 18m boys: "Well is your mom (kids' grandma) going to help him? No!? I can't believe you'd leave him alone like that."

I'm about |---| this close to start responding with highly offensive responses like "Well, I can't believe your husband trusts you with a credit card, because women are bad at money and math". My wife gets just as offended as I do when her friends say stuff like that to her.

Expecting some downvotes, but unless someone's said it to your face or your wife's told you some of the things her friends say, you can't know how infuriating it is when people don't think you're capable of taking care of your own kids.

Getting a access to human support is important in general, but absolutely necessary if you are going to mess with people via an automated system. I'm always frustrated when I read articles about a journalist who gets his gmail account hacked or otherwise messed with, and solves it via some back-channel/personal connection.

I think that the UK.gov were forced by the IOC to promise that they would get the law passed before they could submit a O*c bid.

Basically they waited until the last minute then it just happened without any consultation.

Interesting. I was looking at the Typekit page:

https://typekit.com/fonts/source-sans-pro

On the specimens there, Source Sans looks terrible at almost any sensible body text size in Firefox on Windows XP.

However, I was comparing those results with samples of Open Sans from Google Web Fonts, which look much better. Apologies if this wasn’t a fair comparison.

I really noticed that, and it annoys me. My son (20 months old) tends to wake up around 7 or 8am and around 8 or 9pm it is bedtime. So if I were to take on a "normal" job, I would not spend time with my kid at all, except for the weekends (leave house 8am, work from 9 to 6, back home 7 at the earliest). Society assumes that I am fine with that, but I am not.

Still, I'd like to add that at least in our case, in the first year the mother was definitely more important because of the breastfeeding, which really incited a strong bond. But of course not everybody does that.
Something about this article reminds me of a post-scarcity future star trek paradise where everyone works on whatever gives them joy. At Valve, your basic needs are taken care of (a paycheck, healthcare, etc), and you produce the things you love to produce. If this works on the level of a firm, would it work on the level of a whole society?
I think it must also benefit you, otherwise you wouldn't be doing it, basic human needs are tapped by the quota model (and here on hn too), recognition, self expression, philanthropy etc. Thanks to the subtle game mechanics employed by quora (and hn) these needs are exploited to create a symbiosis, you help them create content that that they can use for their purpose and in return you get those needs met, and create habits around them thanks to the dopamine reward cycle.
In these cases doesn't the value in "Wow, this is really useful." completely outweigh the cost of having to learn something else if it does go away? It's not like you have a finite set of things you can learn and then that's it, brain's full.

Just use it until it stops being awesome and then use something else. Life's too short and your time is too valuable to pass over things like this, where your gut feeling is probably correct.
Erm, this has more to do with the IOC than 'London'.
I just did a quick skim of the article, and call me naive if you want, but in the theory of spontaneous order why is Valve necessary? Obviously, the time and labour of Valve's employees is worth more than what Valve is paying them, otherwise Valve would not be turning a profit. I'm assuming that employees really have 100% work time for their projects as you claim. Then in essence Valve is providing facilities and connections (to other smart employees) in return for the lion's share of the labour profit. Is that really worth it for the employees? Once they have the connections wouldn't it benefit them more to split off their own companies, in a co-op horizontally structured company?

Don't get me wrong, I think traditional corporate structures are often abominations and I think Valve is a great company. It just seems to me that if you take the spontaneous order philosophy to the extreme than corporations in general just become unnecessary overhead.

If you don't know what to do with it, sell it to someone who does. It's a tool, it's meant to enable you to do what you want, not be an end in itself.
I agree with you. We expect that some will be interested in a SaaS version.

But for the moment, most want a classic installation on their infrastructure because the tool works on their codebase. They are afraid of letting their IP in the wild.

Beyond that, even if we have only one production environment, it's still different from the development one and it's important to deploy asap. Don't you think?
I really had big hopes for webOS, it looked very promising when it was announced. Too bad it never made it.
It's worth noting that Heroku silently spins down free-level apps that aren't in use (restarting them on a request), so they aren't necessarily consuming all 750hrs of machine time on every free app.
Try any sporting events in the UK such as horse racing at Cheltenham. It'll be impossible to make any mobile calls due to the number of devices and lack of coverage by the masts. Wireless space is limited too (too many wifi devices) so they can use things like a wireless lan controller (from Cisco, for example) to send disconnect packets to any rogue APs, forcing them to become useless.
notice he said mitigate, not eliminate. There's a difference.
I have always assumed this was what Quora is about, but I have never seen a Quora result show up in a Google search? Is this supposed to be the case for a company with that focus, or am I just not using the right queries?

Starting them all at once is a great way to go about it too. But I wonder if 13 is too late? Why not start at 8 or 9, or even earlier? Do they still think that young children wont get it?

Education is a success when students are engaged and want to learn. Let them see how amazing this stuff is as early as possible and they will get hooked!

--EDIT-- I came back to add that teaching mathematics in the context of science as early as possible should help a great deal. Mathematics as an isolated subject can be foreign to students. In the context of early science it has applications. Want to apply Ohms law? Get moles in a solution? Understand cellular division rates? etc.
It's not a bug, it's a feature. As long as they make more by not being human than they lose by pissing people off, they're good.

I have similar anecdote, but with facebook: We had an web application get a huge bump in traffic as we approached the date of a massive live event that was being managed by the app. Suddenly, facebook shut off our access. Luckily, we had written the app in such a way that we could quickly disable the facebook features, and still have a functional app. If it had been critical to have facebook, the event would have been ruined, and our clients would have fired us. We contacted facebook, and our conversation went something like this:

FB auto message: our very amazing and awesome malware detector, which uses all this cool machine learning and is amazing, has detected that your site is malware and we are disabling it.

Us: Our site is not malware, it's just suddenly very popular. Please turn it back on.

1 week later

FB rep: You site appears to be on, please refer to the documentation for how to connect to our services, do not violate the terms of use agreement.

Us: Ok, it does appear to be back on now. Why was it shut off?

FB rep: You violated the terms of use agreement.

Us: How did we do that? Could you explain what term we violated, so we can modify our code appropriately?

FB rep: Do not violate the terms of use agreement.

Us: Ok, but which term? Are you sure your automated system didn't just shut the site down because it went viral?

FB rep: no response, ever again

We never changed the code, site continued to work fine. As a result, I live in fear that something like this could happen again, in a situation where facebook was a critical component. Did the ability to contact a human help in this situation? Unclear. They definitely did a good job of making us feel worthless and unimportant.
Australia in Crosshairs with Over 2,300 Dumped Password Hashes | NovaInfosec.com
Very true, but the IOC regulating what a private pub advertises outside of Olympic venues couldn't happen without the government going along for the ride. "We'll let you host the Olympics provided you restrict the mention by your citizens of any non sponsor products for the duration." Inside venues, the IOC calls te shots, but restricting beers a pub can mention? That goes a little far. I wonder if a pub called "The Gold Bass Ale Shoppe" would just be closed down altogether.

There will be a shitstorm once graphic drivers get exploited through WebGL.

The game the writer self-promotes is a completely different genre than what id Software does (2D shmup versus a 3D FPS with detailed graphics). It eats a whole CPU core for a seemingly trivial game (might just be missing sleeping in the code, I have no clue).

If you use a good codebase, you do not need to write 200 lines just to setup your screen, eg http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenGL_Programming/Modern_OpenG... .

And never forget that web-based games are kinda non-free unless you can download them and play them locally. You are always at the whim of the developer/hoster/provider. I much prefer games that run natively, disconnected from the internet (attack vector) and whenever I want.
3D Printer can build house in 20 hours
When I was an AT&T customer (Sprint now), this is something I genuinely never understood. I constantly found myself chuckling at the AT&T commercials (which were actually funny) but always wondering why they were so good at marketing but so horrible at the actual product they sell.
One has to wonder why "large" companies even exist in the first place. Why a building full of freelancers could not do the exact same thing.

And then it dawned on me: Valve is providing a "firewall" to unfair competition, financial insecurity, brand awereness, and legal risks. And then it just gets out of the way.

Maybe, the pure existence of large corporations, is a sign of capitalism failing. Being large should not give an advantage: yet it allows for a reportaire of anti-competitive behavior.

Maybe they should do a nation wide experiment, in smaller country: what happens if you take away the legal standing of all "companies" and "employment". What if all economic relationships can only exist between individuals?

Im not suggesting its some kind of magic bullet, i just wonder how competitive it would be. Will such a system adapt (to changes in the market) and optimize (cutting out middlemans) more quickly? Will it be truly bottom-up?

Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_the_Firm

Given that "production could be carried on without any organization [that is, firm] at all", Coase asks, why and under what conditions should we expect firms to emerge? Since modern firms can only emerge when an entrepreneur of some sort begins to hire people, Coase's analysis proceeds by considering the conditions under which it makes sense for an entrepreneur to seek hired help instead of contracting out for some particular task.
Its great to put such an emphasis on being there for your kid. But this is definitely a 1st-world issue. The family has to have money to function; many places the employed parent has to work diligently to accomplish this. Kind thoughts about being there for the spelling bee or ball game are cute; but the job has to come first or its all down the drain.
Yeah and several websites (google.com for instance) have their stylesheets on the HTML document to reduce the number of http requests, this program does not read them either.
Here's a tangent from yesterday's HN frontpage article about fasting and programming...I still don't think that the rigors of fatherhood, on average, are as demanding as that of motherhood, for a very simple fact: women are effectively supporting, through their lifeblood, another lifeform within them for 7-9 months before they're thrust into parenthood. So in that sense, they have a headstart in the race-to-give-it-up for the child.

(please emphasize the on average part in the above statement...obviously, fathers have the opportunity to more than make up for this once the child has left the birth canal)

How many articles do we see on HN about how important it is to get regular exercise, sleep, etc. in order to become the best hacker you can be? It's tough to do that for even young men out of college...how much harder is it to maintain that while pregnant?
I bet that episode is ripe with animated gif fodder. They always got that weird self-satisfied look on their face when they were playing.
> I came back to add that teaching mathematics in the context of science as early as possible should help a great deal

I think this hits the nail on the head. The first time I realized that science == math, I was in late high school.

I wonder how my absorption of the material would have changed had I made that connection earlier. I know that being able to apply math to chemistry and physics made it much easier for me to learn algebra and calculus, if only because it now had an applicable purpose beyond being its own abstract set of concepts.
