So, there's a reason for it. Namely, the way to implement that would require setting a cookie to say you've donated. And it'd be a cross-site cookie (because the payment is done on the Foundation site, not on Wikipedia).

The Privacy Policy is pretty strong on things like that: we don't set cookies unless there's a need to. Fortunately, you just click the 'X' button in the top-right hand corner and the banner will go away for the rest of the fundraiser... whether you've donated or not.
It seems democracies with terrorism problems tend to throw out the law book and human rights. Examples are afaik US, Germany, Italy, Israel, GB, Spain, etc.

Doing everything possible (and illegal) to stop terrorism is a logical result of two facts:

1. Politicians want to be reelected, so they want to keep the voters relatively happy.

2. The whole point of terrorism is to scare civilians in democracies -- that makes them distinctly unhappy.

(Disclaimer: I have no political science background, this is my own conclusion from everything I've read on the subject. If this cynical view is wrong, I'd love to see references.)

Sorry, working on restoring service, current estimate: 2-3 hours.
It's not as bad as it sounds: there is normally a substantial non-taxable base income, and the xx% tax you pay only concerns the amount over it. In most European countries there are also numerous tax deductions: daycare, mortgage interest (in certain countries up to 100%), savings accounts for youths and so on. VAT is a base consumer tax paid by everyone, and shouldn't be lumped together into income tax.

Show HN: Habit List 2.0 (iOS app)
Some of the new features in the app came from the comments the last time I posted here.

* App badges
* Passcode lock
* Daily reminders to check your list
* Data export (JSON)
* You can change the app font
* There's now a quick history view to see a previous day's list

The feedback we received last time was VERY helpful. So please keep it coming.
I care about this issue a lot, but I don't see why this should be on Hacker News. I like HN because it provides a very different set of news items than other sites, with particular focuses on startups, technology, and science. I get the argument that "this affects everyone, including startups", but if too much of this hits the homepage than we will loose access to the stories that set HN apart.
Yes and the contractor issue is important. Like most contractors in the UK I work through a limited company for tax reasons; that means the tools have to be owned by the company.

However... in effect I am the company, no one else will use it. JetBrains need to give us an official answer on that situation. I qualify for the personal license, but I have to enter a VAT number
Great to see tools coming that help beginners learn programming.

Statistics on Gun Violence in Alaska Don't Support Gun Control
It is because the offer plays to our human nature. We perceive we are getting something worth 4 times the value but fear that if we do not act now we will lose it forever.

The fact that the servers are going down and people are excited by the offer also means that we will feel left out if we do not do what our fellow humans have validated as a good choice.

If they offered the product at a cheaper price normally, they are devaluing the product, which is not what they want to do. This is a $100 product for $25, not a $50 product for $50.
Because rails is used for building APIs, linking is a good practice, and there's no need to reinvent the linking/embedding wheel every time you create an API.

Rails has API defaults which should include sensible linking defaults we can build tooling around.

Agh, I just bought an Idea license less than a week ago!
While the library that browses arbitrary restful apis has to be generic, the applications built with that library, intending to interact with a specific API don't have to be generic
You lept to a conclusion here:

> I think the original idea behind discoverability was that you could have a “RESTful client” that could in theory work with any REST service that implemented discoverability.

Your analysis of that conclusion makes sense (a generic API browser is not very useful), but why did you think that's "the original idea behind discoverability"?

The BitNative article you link to gives the reason that is usually cited for using hypermedia:

> This allows the API to be highly evolvable because it avoids creating a coupling between the client and the server.

Even more important IMO is that it makes it easier for the many different parties to serve the same API.
That's incorrect. It's actually "only now" that the 10th amendment is being interpreted as an affirmative limitation on federal power. Historically, the 10th amendment was considered a mere truism. U.S. v. Darby (1941).

Conceptually, how the Constitution works is as follows. The states inherited the sovereignty and unlimited power of the British parliament. In aggreeing to the Constitution, the states delegated some of that power to the federal government, and agreed to refrain from the exercise of certain other powers. The clauses of the Constitution outline the powers delegated and prohibited. All the 10th amendment says is that anything that hasn't been delegated or prohibited hasn't been delegated or prohibited. Which is tautological.

The mere face of the text cannot support an interpretation that the 10th amendment does anything other than state the obvious. If a federal action is otherwise Constitutional, by virtue of falling into one of the delegations, then it is by definition something that has not been reserved to the state.
Yeah. You never know when they'll get bought out for a billion dollars by a social media company with a history for mistreating its users' IP.
Scribe Review: Is It Worth Trying?
The 10th Amendment is a tautology only in so far as we take it for granted. But it serves a very important purpose if and when new issues arise that had not previously been anticipated by the Founders.

It helps to think of the Constitution as a set of operating instructions for the machine that is the federal government. If something isn't explicitly enumerated, the machine needs a way of knowing how to render a decision. The 10th Amendment intentionally limits the decisionmaking capabilities of the machine to the expressly listed operating instructions, and no more.

Google Translate Bug XSS - PoC
If this occupation is so leveraged that 10% annual salary gains are "average", and 20% are "expected", there is going to be some heartache at some point.

I don't think "leveraged" is the word you want.

Obviously, it stops at some point. I think most people get to a point where they care more about autonomy and control over their own time than they do about money. Once you can afford to buy a house, raise a family, and take vacations, how much more do you need? I think most people focus on doing more interesting and meaningful work at that point, not pushing up their salary.

But as long as I am going to be following orders and putting my time into others' ideas, I want either (a) a 20%-increase track or (b) enough autonomy to get the skills that will help me along that curve.

There seems to be a misunderstanding of who Intellectual Ventures are. Most people didn't know about them before the NPR stories that portrayed them as patent trolls (they are), but they are also well known as researches, as hiring a large number of great inventors and notable scientists, filing hundreds of their own patents for technologies developed in house, for inventing the mini-nuclear reactor that was spun out as Terrapower, for stratoshield - a proposed solution to global warming as featured in Freakanomics, for their mosquito gun based on star wars tech, for their battery research and also for making deals with over a hundred universities around the world for a right of first refusal on all new inventions.

They aren't only patent trolls, there is a lot more to the company - $1B p.a in revenue

IV started as an ideas/inventions marketplace. Myhrvold went to all of the large tech companies and pitch them on setting up a fund that would be like an OPEC for patents. Instead of each company individually fighting patent battles, they would invest in IV and that would give them access to an arsenal to help defend themselves. This did come from his experience with patents at Microsoft.

IV then went out and raised funds in a way similar to what VCs do - but instead of investing into tech companies they actively buy up patents and inventions on behalf of their fund LP's (Microsoft, Apple, etc. listed above). It is a way for these companies to defend themselves from patents and to outsource part of their R&D.

IV has purchased over 30,000 patents across their funds, have applied for another 2,000 or so themselves, have a network of 4,000 inventors in their marketplace and actively seek out inventors on their website[2].

There's a flip side, though: digital material is also easier to copy than physical material. This means copies are more likely to get made, which means it's less likely that the loss of any one copy will totally remove the material from the historical record.
> BUt then again they might not.

This seems more likely to me, considering that most Americans (of which I am one) I know* prefer getting lost in the latest iGadget to dealing with real life.

"professorhollybell.com" … seriously?

Too ridiculous-looking; didn't read.
It was just an example. It's easy to say "I don't care about what they spend their money on if I'm getting value" if they are reasonable about spending the money. But it's very easy for foundations to start spending a lot of money in ways that aren't very key to their mission.
I did find that earlier. What I'm looking for though are specific draft laws/bill/acts. I can't find any.

I never negotiated. Anytime I asked for a raise I was honest with them and I told them up front I wasn't negotiating.

Who says negotiation is dishonest?
Yeah, it's not like I really care if the banner ad is for wikipedia itself or for an advertiser. It's still an intrusive banner ad. Plus since it's for themselves, they probably go a bit further on the intrusiveness scale.
From what I have read elsewhere the 'first Office action' is based purely on the criticisms of the patent before the patent owner has responded defending and justifying the details and trying to explain why the presented prior art doesn't apply. I understand that it is common for many of the claims to eventually upheld even when the 'first office action' goes against them.

This seems to be one step of a number of the way to invalidation but far from a knock-out blow for the whole patent YET. There is a range of possible outcomes including total invalidation, the patent being upheld and perhaps most likely some claims being invalidated narrowing the scope of the patent and making it easier to work around it.

It is my understanding that historically, terms of service are derived from the fact that a service provider might host multiple copies of an image across different servers and transfer the image between servers, as well as generate and transmit many copies to user's browsers.

In other words, the basis of the TOS was what was necessary to provide the service and what was monetized was the service.

In contrast, my understanding of the new Instagram TOS is that it could readily allow for the direct monetization of the content outside of the service provided to the photographer. It requires the copyright holder to give up rights beyond what is strictly necessary to provide service to the user.

However, in a sense I agree with you. Google's new standard terms of service appears to allow the possibility of something similar in so far as the user grants usage rights to future Google services.

I, of course, am not a lawyer.
Yeah, it goes back and forth. C'est la vie.

You are optimizing prematurely.
I love that argument, because it completely ignores the reality of politics.

Politics is a war with words rather than bombs, but if you limit yourself to always speaking the truth, you would be like a commander who never feigns an attack in one place to keep the enemy from attacking somewhere else -- in other words, a very poor commander.

I don't have any doubt that there is something going on with the environment, I am somewhat more sceptical with regards to the long projections (50+ years), but I can't admit that in public, because the automatic response to issues about greenhouse gasses are that we must cut down and degrade our livestyle, rather than build the necessary dikes and compensate for lost farmland by irregating and better management (most useful in the developed world).

However as there is no political consensus for that plan, I have become forced to support the anti-science guys.
