I see they have yet to decide to whether they will use a flexible display for a product being released in February. Thanks for the press release Korea Times.

Also, worth noting that the "tax cuts" they are opposing in this election cycle are the ending of the cuts put in during Bush. Those cuts reduced the tax rate for the poorest people in the country by %50, from %15 to %10, and for the richest by %3, from %39 to %36.

When you take %50 more of a poor person's income in taxes, you take money they need to live, and this will hurt the economy, both because they can't spend it, and also because some of them will be forced to make less beneficial choices, merely to survive.

Meanwhile, the effective reality is that inflation is a tax. Since inflation devalues the dollars in circulation, the deficit spending that the "anti-tax cut" crowd tends to want to do is really just another form of tax.

Taxes themselves are better, because they don't rely on obscuring the fact that your being taxed (By changing the underlying value of money) and thus they tend to cause fewer bad decisions on the part of economic actors.

Many people make bad investments (eg: houses) thinking they are getting a positive return, when in real dollars they are not. (Houses don't appreciate, the dollar devalues.)
The chat is even worse.
What you've written here seems far more humane and resonant than the OP, which seems gimmicky even as he decries gimmickry. My emotional receptors just don't believe him.

I believe it's important for people to treat each other as equals first, roles second. Any trace of personal identification with an authority role (or a subordinate role, for that matter) acts like a grain of sand in a place where a grain of sand shouldn't be. The trouble with management comes when a person's sense of self inflates to fill the role, something they don't deserve because no one does. This is marvelously illustrated by the experiment that showed that people designated "leader" for no reason whatsoever are significantly more likely to take an extra cookie for themselves. When one is captured by this self-inflation bias, it doesn't make things better to apply trust-building tricks to get people to "say shit"; that is condescension, and it confuses matters.

I'd be interested in reading an article by you on this topic, if you ever write one.
Just created a test account. Pretty slick for a side project. Love the TODO list feature. Like others have mentioned i too worry about the pricing though. I have several people pushing each day and pulls from multiple servers as i deploy straight from the git repo. Slow pushes are the worst and at this price range i dont see you guys making that work once people really start using your product.

I think it actually looks better than bitbucket which some have mentioned which to me looks really cluttered.

I am not a student though so maybe i should not be looking at this as an option for a business anyway, but still...
TM doesn't mean anything - a trademark is either registered (and therefore enforceable) or it isn't. You can slap it on pretty much anything you want, it doesn't mean that whatever it is attached to will become a registered trademark, or even that the owner has filed for registration.
there are some public studies on DDOS size over the years. IIRC Arbor networks published some numbers earlier this year. IME tens of Gb/s is a mid size attack these days. Large is a hundred plus Gb/s.

For a non-Valley, non-VC, non-swing-for-the-fences (Sand Hill Road cookie cutter) startup, think about where your risks really lie (who is going to sue you; when; why; and for how much). If you have partners, then having someone walk you through all the 'what if things go wrong' stuff may be useful. If it's just you, then you can even postpone incorporation. As for tax - that's a nice problem to have, but it's not one that's going to loom large on day one (or even year one). I would be amazed if it made sense for the median startup to register any trademarks. And if you "need" patents, really drill down on what that "need" is (if it's just a tick-the-box exercise for eventual VC's, then one jurisdiction might be enough; if you need a global patent protection strategy to secure your fundamental business value, you're doing it wrong).

When you do hire a lawyer, get an estimate up front, make clear that you want to know in advance if the bill is getting anywhere near the estimate, and require monthly interim billing if there is something ongoing. If you can fit in some scornful laughter at the idea of billing for photocopying and phone calls, that would be good, too. Many lawyers pay lip-service to the idea of fixed fees for defined projects: think about calling their bluff. And ask about other value-added services they might provide, such as introductions to other clients who might be interesting to know. This will be like pulling teeth, because lawyers are pretty terrible at everything in business except (if you are lucky) the legal stuff.

But they probably do know the legal stuff better than you, so don't try to impose irrelevant constraints, like "I want a one-pager for this".

One day, your side will realize that it is your attempts to "fight economic inequality" that have resulted in the economic inequality you rail against.

It is this lack of understanding of economics that makes it easy to manipulate you come election time.

And the more your policies destroy people's lives the more you demand even more centralized control.
It's true, but it's also pretty hard to figure out whether you're actually remaining within the law since things are so rarely tested (at least in the startup world).
When I redefined alert to return false, it crashed Chrome pretty bad (note: I am not the owner).

If someone really feels like policing it, they can delete the iframe element (in FF, chrome, or opera) and just have access to the editor panes (which means no alerts, redirects, or other nastiness). I'm sure someone can figure out how to write a javascript snippet that will post some text that has been cleaned of all instances of "window.location", "alert", and probably "while". (I would do it myself, but it's 1am here).
This bet that current total effective tax rates are supra-optimal for economic growth is based on what?

It's based on intuition. That's why it's a bet, not a concrete claim.

I like this concept! We've only skimmed the surface of the amount of data that could be mined from our online activity. Get great minds from computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, neuroscience, and psychology together and we could see some action here.
This is the intersection between Macro economic theories (op cost) and consumer behavior. And that too, one of the most emotionally charged decisions people make in their life times - marriage.

in my opinion, in a way, the behavior is already very similar to what everyone with tiling wms trys to achieve. but maybe i'm missing something crucial
My thought exactly. I found this sentence causing extreme concern.
I'm not at all surprised that people brought up on political propaganda think that this propaganda represents the opinion of the "vast majority of economists".

The reality is, anyone who knows anything about economics knows that taxes inhibit economic growth.

The idea that this is wrong, is so absurd that it should be laughed at.... only the problem is, most americans are absolutely ignorant of economics and thus can be tricked into believing it. Or in your case, assuming that "the vast majority of economists" think this, and have done so "for decades".

Frankly, it is astounding how much you have rejected economic as a science while thinking the partisan ideology you're pitching is "economics".
Yes, there are a lot of kinds of software that are better if they're paid. The main reason being the amount of concentrated research and work that has to be done. And let's not forget copyrighted and patented technologies that can make something "non-free."

GIMP is great, but Photoshop is a killer tool. Same goes with Computer Algebra Systems and Electronics tools. These are areas where open source is yet to catch up.

However, when it comes to web servers, programming languages, databases, and any great cutting edge technology, open source just rocks. The very building blocks of most of the software today is open source. And that's marvelous.

>According to the best available figures, the top theoretical tax rate during the 1950s was over 90%, but the average tax rate paid by the top approximately 400 people was 51.2%.

Yeah, but 51.2% of what? The key to the real tax rate is all in what gets counted as income. Back then the IRS didn't count a company car as income, whereas today it is. In 1986 Congress added a whole lot of rules to eliminate methods people were using to shelter income, so if tax rates were raised back to 1960 levels the government would be taking a much bigger bite from everybody's income.

Do people want "economic growth" or whatever that might be assumed to lead to, or do they just not want to donate money to their country through their government?

One is kind of indirect and speculative, the other is direct and immediate.
>> they kill all incentive to work hard and to innovate

At that time, the USSR was pretty advanced technologically. And it's citizens we're and still are pretty advanced academically.

One explanation why the soviet system failed was due to inefficiency in investing in oil production(which led to a mini soviet peak oil), because the wrong incentives at the institutional level.

But wrong incentives at the institutional levels are pretty common in capitalistic countries: the 2008 crisis is one example.

This bit is the problem. I don't jailbreak a device before I am ready to throw it away. I've seen too many issues with non-official hacks of various sorts. Nothing major; just rough edges.
You're knocking down a strawman. The position is that higher tax rates reduce economic growth. Your evidence does not contradict that assertion. Doesn't even touch it. Further, you're dealing with claims and a study that are ideologically driven... so more precision is required, not less.
The 'print' metaphor is a remnant of history. Programming used to be done on a teletype terminal, like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletype_Model_33 . You would work with a teletype printer, so 'print' means, quite literally, "print using the printer."

Other words with similar heritage are 'tty', which is short for "TeleTYpe", and 'terminal', since you were working with a teletype terminal. One could use "glass tty" to distinguish between a physical printer-based terminal and a CRT screen-based one. That terminology is almost never used these days.

When you use the word "print", you are asking Python do to the modern equivalent of sending text to the teletype terminal's printer. So I see "puts", the part of me which knows history wonders if it's also possible to put the text to a GUI, or to a web browser, or to something other than a terminal-like object.

I don't know how old is he now, may be in his 20s. I remember seeing him on TV few years back, that time he came across as a bright kid (and was comparatively lean compared to the way he looks now). Then, he was in his late teens (or may be just 20), and had written a book on Computer security.

It seems, excessive media exposure at an early age, did come in the way of his development. In this video he is clearly challenging people to attack his site, in a boastful way. So can say, the deface served him right.
>"If that level of indexing is sufficient I don't see why you can't just do the same thing in mongodb."

What level of indexing is sufficient depends a great deal on the specifics of the database layout on disk. In InnoDB for example, sequential scans are very costly, and primary key lookups are very cheap. This is because the table is more or less contained in the primary key index and this must be traversed in key order since physical order is not supported. This means a sequential scan of a table means lots of random disk I/O and OS prefetching is useless.

So to address this you end up indexing everything you want to search on later. Note that non-pk indexes are a little slower in InnoDB because you have to traverse the index to find the primary key value, then you have to traverse the primary key index to retrieve the table info.

In PostgreSQL things work differently. The table is a series of pages on disk and rows are allocated from these as a heap. You can scan a table, but not an index, in physical order in PostgreSQL. Therefore typically PostgreSQL sequential scans on tables are lot faster than on MySQL because it is sequential, rather than random, page reads. Indexes point at the tuple ID which stores the page number and row number within a page. An index scan is a tree traversal followed by processing pages indicated in the tuple ID.

This leads to a bunch of interesting things: Adding indexes is usually a performance win with InnoDB. However for PostgreSQL, it will typically look up what indexes it has and balance index scans against sequential scans of tables. Unlike InnoDB, sequential scans sometimes win out planner-wise, esp. on small tables.

So what indexes you need depends quite highly on how things are organized.

Do you understand marginal tax rates? Hypothetically if tax rates did move to 90% on personal income this would most likely be triggered on such a high tier of income you would already be working because you want to, and not for financial need. Also once you average out the tiers leading to 90% you will pay a lot less than this 90% you're throwing out there.

Edit: spelling
In US certainly, but here's what I learnt living in Europe.
You basically do not need lawyer. Ever. You can live happy life and run happy business. Without lawyers, without fear that somebody/anybody can/will sue you of anything. Wthout fear of shady contracts, shady business practicies etc. And even in very rare occasion when somebody decides to sue you and this case goes to court, even then you do not always need a lawyer. In Europe you can go to court without lawyer and win. I did, so can you.

Yes, an entire "side" profoundly misunderstands basic economic principles.

Which side was it, do tell, that created faux think tanks in the 70s to espouse a particular economic philosophy? These would be the same think tanks that seem to simultaneously advocate for the "marketplace of ideas" and then shun their members when they show a lack of ideological purity.

I'm not so sure about the trademark thing. I've just started that process with my partners non-tech new business. Here (in Australia) you can do a bunch of searches online, and enter a trademark application on a government website for $120, and if it;s approved you pay $300 for 10 years trademark protection. Once you've got all your domain name / twitter handle / social media accounts and pages lined up, a few hundred bucks for trademark protection in your area of business seems like money well spent to me, even if all it does is discourage someone from making a claim they've got more rights to a domain name or social media account name than you.

Of course that adice mostly applies to trademarking names which clearly have no existing claimants (or at least none in your area of business) which would complicate things enough to require law firm time to resolve...
After reading down a few comments on the article you see that the write is talking about Virgin Mobile in the UAS, as someone in Australia points out that this doesn't work.

It would be nice if the writer of the article would have said that they where talking about Virgin Mobile US, as Virgin Mobile are a multi national company.
I don't get why banks restrict the number of digits of a pin. The bank I'm with limits your pin to 4 digits.

This article is regularly submitted to HN, but it's good reading every time. Winning the war against the marketing of the diamond industry will be hard, but a start is to keep spreading articles like the following:

7 REASONS WHY DIAMONDS ARE A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY

I've been in the diamond business for over 10 years. I've traveled all over the world buying and selling diamonds. I've passed through most of the major airports across the United States with about a million dollars worth of diamonds in a leather wallet stuffed inside my pants. I've bought and sold diamonds in Dubai, Mumbai, Moscow, Hong Kong, Paris, Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Madrid and Barcelona. Even today I am involved on the fringe of the diamond business, running a diamond education site helping would-be buyers.

Considering my deep personal involvement in the diamond business, my opinion might surprise you -- diamonds are a terrible waste of your money.

Even if this article doesn't convince your female friends, it'll spread some awareness and cause more people to view diamond engagement rings with a bit of doubt.

When I shared it on Facebook, I got likes from only male friends and arguments from a female friend. This was slightly unusual because such topics normally get a few likes from female friends. I guess there's a serious uncertainty among my friends about throwing away the valuing of diamonds that's been strongly ensconced in the minds of wider society.

Fundamentally, a large part of the worth of diamonds comes from their cost and the sacrifice they represent. This in turn is a conspicuous signaller of value, when women show their diamonds to friends ("look how much he loves me"). So any alternative to diamond rings has to show a similar level of value/worth. We have to try to beat diamond marketers at their own game - with equally powerful anti-marketing.

I'd advocate an approach of laying the groundwork early by sharing such articles regularly, and when actually in a relationship, offering a display of value that she appreciates (e.g. memorable trip to Europe, endowment to a cause of her choice, a custom-designed gemstone) in tandem with asking her to consider other gemstones, perhaps one in her favorite color. If the ground's been softened by our combined anti-marketing campaign, she might be willing to select and customize a stone that she genuinely finds beautiful and accept your specially planned trip (maybe extend it to Asia too, to up the friends'-envy quotient).

Or at least I hope as much.
