The purpose of this is to capture a quick (2-4 paragraph) summary of a current news or opinion piece of interest to libertarians. I keep seeing more and more pieces of interest to us, and so many of them are so exaggerated that you have to wade through 500 words of text to get to about 2 sentences of substance. By summarizing, busy people can get the gist of what's going on without wasting their time. I also have a convenient place for a history of everything that's happening. I feel like this is all heading somewhere.

For those of you interested in this sort of thing, hope you like it!

(Where possible, sources are indicated in the title. Links are provided back to the original articles for those with more time on their hands.)
Are you concerned that requiring people to email you to see previously submitted results might encourage falsified responses?

I was interested in seeing the results of the survey, so I filled in the details based upon what I pay a particular contractor. Same data, different direction. Others may not provide the same value in trade for the responses.

Is there a reason that you don't provide a link to the /viewanalytics page?

Also, just a nit, but the title of the responses page reads "Seattle Ruby hourly contractor rates". It looks like you were making this survey for Seattle before deciding to add the location drop-down.
The app is very much in it's alpha stage. I don't have a designer, and have focused mostly on the product. Don't worry, the first thing to get an overhaul is the design of the landing page as soon as I get the chance.
Right. And doing it in a vague way (not specifying WHICH illustrations they supposedly own the copyright to). Most of us who have looked at the illustrations side-by-side see their claim of owning copyright to be unfounded, for lots of reasons:

1) None of the illustrations in Flat UI are identical to LayerVault's illustrations. Derived works? Maybe. But under the law, that's okay.

2) Looking at illustrations from the Noun Project, and color palettes from Google and elsewhere, we see the same similarities that we do between LayerVault and Flat UI. If Flat UI is guilty of copyright infringement as LayerVault asserts, then LayerVault is most certainly guilty of copyright infringement from elsewhere.

3) Copyright isn't even the right legal vehicle for this debate. LayerVault could conceivably deem its icons to be trademarks, and show a likelihood of confusion when compared to Flat UI's icons. But LV using an icon set as a trademark would be unprecedented, and difficult to argue. (And even if that were the case, the Noun Project could just as easily claim LV infringed on their trademark.)

Overall, if LayerVault is claiming they own the copyright to illustrations used in Flat UI, they're flat-out wrong. And that's where the problem comes in - filing a fraudulent DMCA notice is bad business.
NaCl isn't new; it's been around since at least 2009.
Have you seen the icons so you can judge it for yourself?

I have. At best, it's inspired by the LV ones.

Pretty much all of the solutions that the author proposes for dealing with freelancers involved fixed fees per article. But if revenue is determined by unique visitors, why not just pay authors based on a royalty?

This, perhaps coupled with an appropriate sized advance would ensure that authors were being rewarded for successful work, and that The Atlantic wouldn't be pouring money into stories that only get 1,000 hits.

Given that major news can be broken over Twitter in 140 characters, paying by the word seems incredibly antiquated.
I use sendy for a personal project, but amazon SES limits you to 10k emails a day. For our use case, we need to send 500k in one day. Anyone have experience requesting a higher send limit with SES?
I think this serves as a great testimony to just how homogenous / under-considered the "flat" aesthetic has become. For crying out loud, flatUI is a kit for replicating this appearance! I love the flat look, but as soon as kits for replicating a look start to grow in popularity, it's time to move on.

From Wikipedia:

CFLs are not the only source of mercury. Some barometers and thermometers have significant quantities of the stuff. So if you tell people, "not very toxic", I am worried that these people will think that it is okay not to clean it up.

From: http://www.ehs.gatech.edu/chemical/mercury_and_compounds.pdf

> All forms of mercury are toxic.

> All forms of mercury penetrate the placental barrier and should be considered terratogenic and reproductive effectors.

It lists an exposure limit of 0.025 mg/m3.

Its actually pretty reasonable to posit that raising the minimum wage will have no effect on employment. Take a look at S&P 500 profits over the last few years. Then look at real household income. If you want to get crazy, look at productivity measures. Profits are going up while income is falling in real terms. It stands to reason that there's a buck to spare there.
Inflation doesn't work that way. You can't legislate it into existence, and you can't legislate it away. If you could, it would be an easy problem to solve.

Inflation occurs when you add to the money supply more than you add to the economy. The California gold rush caused inflation. Countries with hyperinflation have governments that are printing money at incredible rates.

That's completely orthogonal to minimum wage. If you say I must have a $1000/hr job, it's in current dollars. Even if my employer wanted to pay me more, he can't -- he doesn't have the money to! Even if everyone wanted to switch over to doing that, they couldn't; there isn't enough money in the system! If everyone woke up tomorrow and agreed that a dollar was worth 1000x less, they'd all be 1000x poorer and nobody could afford anything.

No, the minimum wage doesn't change the value of a dollar. It just changes who's allowed to earn one.
Yeah, I've been wondering if it will amount to anything as well. My gut tells me that it won't.

That said, I've had it running for around and hour and have found it interesting for no other reason than understanding how filibusters actually work. From what I can tell, he has just been spending time reading articles critical of drone strikes or reading other documents while providing commentary on them as he goes.

He's even been taking time to eat a snack which provides comedic pauses in the listening experiences.

Rand also gets small breaks from others who come forward to ask questions - most of which seem to be staged to help him cover additional points, reiterate his already made points, or just generally use up more clock.

Based on the view behind him, it appears that all other senators need not be present while he speaks. Is that true and has this always been the case? I'd imagine that the tactic might be more compelling and useful if everyone had to sit there and listen.

I've gone to I/O every year. They usually set aside presale tickets for regular attendees, so we don't get locked-out if they sell out.

We're only a week away from general sales, but I haven't seen any information about I/ON registration yet. I hope they're still giving early access to tickets for I/ONs this year.
I'm siding with Thayer here ... I don't think he was "mean" to Olga (actually I thought it was refreshingly blunt), and Madrigal admits that you have to "feed the children".

Edit: Olga's budget for purchased content is $12,000 a year? I'm going to assume her salary is significantly more than that, but why would you ask an expensive editor to "obtain/curate/manicure" work that was purchased so cheaply? It sounds like it really wouldn't be worth her time.
I don't find when useful, except in post mortem situations. The code is the code. Trying to capture history leads to things like old code being commented out to preserve the context. Use a good code repository instead.

If it works as suggested, this library binding will be a godsend to frontline developers. Cryptography is exceedingly hard to get right and unfortunately existing libraries often tend to be written for developers who are already familiar with cryptography. Hopefully this will see the adoption it deserves and we'll see less incidents like the Mega encryption scandal.
Filibustering is great and all, but how about introducing some legislation clarifying the issue that US citizens are off limits to drones? It would be too easy for Holder or Obama to say, "okay, we won't do it" and then go back on their word. Having the law on the books makes it a lot tougher for Obama and any future presidents to kill citizens without affording them their full right to trial.
I'm unfamiliar with the specific rules of Senate decorum, but no, I don't think any other Senators except whoever's presiding are required to be present.

The problem is that these tools don't help much. In other fields, people clamor for software because software can excel at things humans are bad at: repetitive tasks, rote calculations, lots of arithmetic. The hard part of the proof is coming up with it, not checking it. And coming up with the proof requires deep insights, which means a library of proofs isn't as useful as a library of code where you can use the code without having to understand it. What we have so far is pretty good at checking proofs but very bad at coming up with them. So what you're actually engaging in here is "machine-centric bigotry"--the idea that the machine is intrinsically better at all problem solving than man, despite evidence to the contrary.

I'd like to hear who you consider influential computer scientists coming from psychology. The ones I hold dear are mostly settlers from math.

If the younger brother were as wise as he thinks he is, he wouldn't need to get so worked up as to substitute profanity for an articulate argument.
Oh my gosh you don't expose it to the public Internet. RPC is just an API -- just because it runs over an IP address doesn't mean you run it exposed to the whole world. I thought that would go without saying, but clearly I was wrong. It's just like anything you connect to via IP...including simple databases like many of the NoSQL databases. You run it on a secure internal network, and connect it to your web server, and expose the web server to the public, via a reverse proxy. This is no different.

And if you send the balance to an off-site wallet every hour, or less, then you aren't exposing much of your balance anyway. If you're an exchange, it gets a lot harder since you have to figure out how much to keep on a hot wallet. But if you're just accepting Bitcoins, there's little to no risk, as long as you regularly send your balance off-site to a cold wallet.

And if your web server is rooted, then they've got any balance you've exposed to your web app, regardless of whether you are running it on bitcoind or some third-party web service.

I'm by no means an "expert" but I shared the same struggles and after 2 weeks of trying to build a complex app I gave up.

I switched to Angular (which I also had never used before) and got the same app up and running in a couple days with even more functionality because I was able to hash lots of the trickier "outside-the-box" functionality that I could not for the life of me get working in Ember.

That being said I really like Ember's syntax, Handlebars integration, core values (performance & stability specifically) and have the utmost respect for its creators. I'm hoping since it hit 1.0 that lots of new sample apps, blog posts and SO-type Q&A resources will start showing up and actually stay relevant for more than a month.
Unless Walmart is in control of all jobs in the market or unless Walmart and other employers are illegally colluding by sticking to a low wage agreement - the value of productivity per hour is what workers at Walmart are negotiating.

If Walmart isn't paying people what they feel they are worth then they're free to go elsewhere to redefine what their labor is worth.

just be taken out of that job and subsidized by the state wholesale

That completely eliminates the ability of some to find part time work to supplement their income. Maybe a mom without any real skills in the job market would like to work a few extra hours at an entry level job to bring home some spending money for herself and her family. Maybe a teenager would like to get some experience and earn some gas money while in high school.

By eliminating jobs through manipulating the minimum wage so thoughtlessly, you would destroy vital segments of the job market that serve a purpose.
They have to fool the sensor inputs to look like a real flight, right? They can't necessarily think of every realistic but unexpected input. Definitely worth trying, though. I'd actually be surprised if they hadn't done that with the Ariane.

This is based on NaCL. NaCL is an extremely great library that we virtually never recommend because it is very difficult to integrate into most people's dev environments.

Libraries like NaCL, Keyczar, and Cryptlib work by removing all the design choices from cryptography. You don't pick the key sizes, you don't pick the algorithms, you don't even pick what kind of keys you exchange. They implement a whole cryptosystem, as if for some new unreleased version of PGP, subtract the file format, and present it as an API. They're great. They are literally the only way you should be deploying cryptography in your applications.

I think this is a great development, but I am not qualified to say. This sits in a weird place in between a language binding for NaCL and a fork of NaCL. As a bindings package it's an overachiever; as a fork, it seems to have made extraordinarily conservative changes.

You'd really like a real crypto dev --- Matthew Green, Colin Percival, DJB (NaCL's primary author; @hashbreaker on Twitter), Steve Weis, Trevor Perrin, &c --- to say "this is all totally sane, and if you buy the premise of NaCL, go ahead and use this instead.

You'd also really like Sodium to say "this is as much as we're changing from NaCL and nothing else", because what makes NaCL worth building on is the expertise that went into designing it in the first place, which, like me, Frank Dennis probably doesn't have.
Great! Now, if only the justifications for the minimum wage referred to those effects!

That is, what are the "known, obvious" downsides to raising the minimum wage, so that we can know when the costs start to exceed its benefits, and/or I can tell that that $1000 min wage might be stupid but not, say, a $12 one?

This is what bothers me about the debate: people confuse a strawman with a reductio ad absurdum. Sure, no one advocates a $1000/hour minimum wage, but the claims used to support a $12 would also apply to $1000. So if you find them insufficient in the latter case, so should you in the former.

For example, if you believe $12/hour min wage would "get more money in heavy-MPC[1] folks' pockets" in some helpful way, then you should also believe a $1000/hour min wage would "get more money in heavy-MPC-folks' pockets".

[1] MPC = marginal propensity to consume i.e. fraction of any new money you spend on consumption goods rather than saving
"Our debt is really high, therefore social programs must be out of control" is not a sound argument.
It doesn't get that hot, even while running full-bore. I don't render video or graphics, but I do simulations and run a lot of VMs for various test modes. I suspect that fully loaded CPUs are going to hit a maximum temperature regardless of the application that is running. And yes ... I can't expand the RAM beyond that 16GB (it's actually the limiting factor for my VM count).
NaCL/Sodium would not have been deployable in Mega's design. I agree with everything else you say, though!

Dollars stuffed under the mattress don't compete with other dollars, raising their value and enabling them to buy more of the available goods and services.

Dollars aren't resources. The resources exist and can be invested in different ways regardless of how many dollars there are.

When there is a bubble collapse, like the collapse of housing bubble, demand for the thing that is being overproduced collapses. That has to happen in order for the economy to get back to producing things people value and are willing to buy with their own money.

That collapse is a catastrophe for investors and workers invested in the bubble, but the other industries now can get all their raw inputs for less and can now grow.

Keynesians look at the collapsed industries as if they are the only source of growth for the economy. But those unviable industries have actually been diverting resources away from viable ones. The collapse of the artificial bubble is a much needed correction.
No. We should either get our heads down and code or get our feet dirty and go find some customers.

In what way is NaCL difficult to integrate into existing dev environments? I've not personally used it before, but I've been looking for a library that abstracts away some of the difficulty of cryptography (granted you can't hide it all) and NaCL appears to label itself as such.
> We all know not to drink from a thermometer. I though the point of HN is we didn't have to talk at grade school/reddit level.

That's a bad example.

From: http://www.ehs.gatech.edu/chemical/mercury_and_compounds.pdf

> Elemental mercury

> Poses a health hazard because it is volatile and can be absorbed through the skin. As a vapor, penetrates the central nervous system, where it is ionized and trapped, attributing to its extremely toxic effects. Is not well absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, when ingested, it is only mildly toxic. Mercury metal and mercury compounds are highly hazardous if inhaled or if they remain on the skin for more than a short period of time.

Saying that CFLs are safe is different from saying that mercury isn't very toxic. There are plenty of compounds which are toxic and found in minute quantities in everyday objects. I'd rather educate people of the dangers.

// 1 line removed by I. Dee Ott, Feb 12, 2005
// i = i + 1;

But also the actor or user role.

// this function can only be run by admin

Is only true if enforced in some way.
