> I'd like to disagree with you on that point. Yes, you get ideas passed down to your by others, but if you do not bother to examine them and act blindly on the premise that these things must be right, because others told you, without putting any deliberation into the truth of these moral dictates...

Statistically speaking, as a 14 year old you're not going to come to any earth shattering conclusions in morality that your parents, society, school, teachers, etc, have overlooked. Critical examination is an important life skill, but so is accepting that adults have a lot of insight into the world that you don't, and that society can teach you a lot without your having to learn things the hard way.

> My parent taught me they didn't care (or couldn't), my school taught me I was in the wrong place, and my peers taught me that I was scum.

Nothing about what I said is meant to assert that parents, teachers, etc, always say or do the right things. I'm necessarily speaking in generalities. I don't think your average teenager doing this kind of thing can raise the defense that their parents and teachers didn't teach them right from wrong. Some parents are terrible at being parents, and don't love and support their kids while also teaching them. But we're speaking in generalities here.

> Firstof, they're not defective. Don't even say a child is broken

A 14 year old is not a child. Not fully an adult, but not a child either. Respecting peoples' privacy should be well within the wheelhouse of your average teenager. And some people are broken. There is a bell curve of ability to function in society, and some people are X number of standard deviations away from the mean in a wrong way. It's unfortunate, but there is no point in not calling a spade a spade.

> Society is a pretty bad measuring stick for morals.

On average, society is a pretty good measuring stick for morals. There's all sorts of things you shouldn't do, that people don't do, because society tells them not to. There is a difference between blindingly accepting things like racisim, because in some contexts it is socially accepted, and acknowledging that even that same society still teaches you not to kick animals or kick little girls in the shins. Contemporary social understanding is a great starting point for your own moral framework, and one which you should lean on more heavily as a child and a teenager until your rationality and experience develop sufficiently to better analyze the world around you.

> Then to the disciplining thing. There's a difference between teaching something to your kids, and threatening them to do something.

Children are not adults. They are not capable of the rational thought of adults. They can be taught, but they cannot always be taught.

Right now, my 3 month old doesn't realize that I continue to exist when she can't see me. From 3 months to 3 years to 13 years, children and teenagers are still partially formed, their faculties of reason not fully in place. Your toddler isn't going to understand your reasoning with her, and while your teenager will usually do so, at the end of the day, sometimes the only thing they will understand is punishment.

Compromise on functionality? Too many tabs is a usability problem in Chrome. This just provides additional functionality.
Correct. I started explicitly ignoring these categories: Too much load for the crawler and the financial indexes were already carrying this information.

I'd argue that a majority of users aren't running with 100+ tabs open, though.
It means you'd be using the exact same forms (and in fact software) that YC has its incoming companies use to get set up.
You are missing my point: if you think you need a lawyer to review a document you obtained elsewhere, you're gonna have a bad time.

I have no problem with using a standard structure and replicating that across many many companies. That's smart. I be surprised if it wasn't done already.

BUT: once you stray from the One True Path to C-Corp, you're asking for trouble if you don't really dig in with a knowledgeable attorney who knows your industry, your goals, and how to keep you out of court. The Law is not something you can really hack.

IMHO, most people are better served by a simple LLC to get started. I'd agree that using a C-corp is a good idea if you're building a company specifically to seek investment from VCs, but if you're looking to just insulate yourself from the downside aspects of starting a business, it's hard to beat a LLC for simplicity.
Actually I started out with Ruby then Rails in 2009 and moved then moved onto .Net.

Ruby and Rails will always have a special place in my heart as that's where I first truly learned how to program after being beaten into submission by Java in university. I think the point I hated programming was the time we needed to build a Swing app using Notepad. Then over a year after graduation I found Hackety Hack and _why's poignant guide and everything clicked and I knew all I wanted to do was to code.

However, as much as I loved Ruby, .Net opened my eyes to the wonders of static typing and I don't think I could live without it. The only reason I considered NodeJS and Express was because I was planning on replace JavaScript with TypeScript after learning the basics of NodeJS and Express.

I just installed Ubuntu on my PC last night and this time I'm trying to learn it right. No more copy pasting stuff into the terminal like the last 15 times in the past 8 years I've attempted to learn Linux. I make sure to read the man pages of every command before I run it so I know what its doing. I've must of extracted archives tons of times but today is the first time I understand what the arguments -xfv mean in tar -xfv FILE :)

My current methodology has me moving ever so slowly. For instance, after downloading Eclipse, I knew better than leaving it at my downloads directory. So a google search told me to put it in /opt. But that just leaves me wondering what the heck /opt is for. Some Googling led me to a document entitled "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" which explains what all the directories in the root are for. Trying my hardest not to think about how much quicker things would be moving along if I just give in and carry on in Windows >.<

I've tried to do so in Idris, but I haven't been able to:

What is the probability that a person without a diploma can read? You see, its a credential that means something to people who do not know the person. Even if the difference between the probability a person can read given a diploma and one without is shrinking, it still has value. Furthermore, I remember a lot of what I learned in college. What I dont fully remember, I still remember the basic concept. This aids me in a general understanding of what is possible, knowledge of possible solutions, and furthermore, if I actually need to know more detail about it it would be very fast to learn what I had forgotten (like a cache miss).

1. The memory controller will impose its own limit, which may be less than you'd think.

2. The form factor may also impose a limit. You won't find a DDR stick larger than 1GB, for example.

Of course, if either of those were the cause of a 2GB limit, then you could make the case that the whole system should be upgraded, but that's a lot more expensive than a couple of sticks of RAM.
There is a trick to the advertising requirement. Since advertising in NYC is so expensive, you register in Albany and then 6 months later move the registration to NYC.

Skipping over the pathetic passive aggressive tone, this isn't about some repressed part of society, this is simply a employer/employee relationship.

There's nothing wrong with an employer doing this to protect the organziation. This is exactly what is happening, it's an investigastion into misconduct, not some big civil liberties case.

When you send email using you work account you should not expect that email to have the same privacy as your own email might.

I am perfectly capable of understanding, and the university are in the right, they have every right to investigate what happened.

The swim bladder is a modified lung: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swim_bladder#Evolution

Wikipedia claims that this is thought to have evolved as a survival method in oxygen poor water. My understanding had been that this was because their ancestors, however briefly, were adapted to survive out of the water. If only as well as today's lungfish.

My understanding may be wrong. But still, most fishes today are descended from air-breathing ancestors.

Originally you explained the problem as if you always had 100+ tabs open, but now it sounds like an occasional occurrence. I was mainly speaking to if you always had 100+ open -- as if that was your normal workflow.

I do understand at times you want to open many more than that for a limited time, but those situations (at least in my experience) are typically very short-lived and don't represent my ordinary common usage pattern.

You can Ctrl or Cmd click a set of tabs, and it will restore them without removing them from the OneTab list. Thus you will be able to use OneTab to open sets of frequently accessed tabs.
The ROI on antibiotics is much lower than that of a "lifetime drug" such as an anti-depressant that a patient will take for years and years. Pharmaceuticals are mostly privatized and that's not changing, so the government is going to have to find some ways to incentivize innovation in the antibiotics market. Counting on government isn't a popular option these days, but this is the perfect role for them actually.

Hey Guys, this is Jessica from Bitspend :) I want to cover a few things.

1. Yes, there is a lot wrong with the site right now - including the order form. We had been working all week on the new site, including an automated order-form, and at 4AM this morning we had major issues with the server. Since we had already publicized our launch, we chose to put together what we could for today as we fix the issues that broke the "real" site. We know the site right now is not what it should be - and its killing us too! We promise to have it all fixed shortly.

2. About our contact information. Within the week not only will we have 800 numbers for you to call for support, but we will also have our office address available, and invite anyone in our area to come in and check us out themselves.

We are aware that what we are doing will take time to build trust in the community, and we will go above and beyond to make sure we earn it. We will continue to work on ways to improve our service to you, and to expand our offerings.

We have a long road ahead, just as the Bitcoin economy itself does. We plan on making the most out of it and providing you all with a way to purchase ANYTHING(Legal!!) with Bitcoins.
That would be annoying to me too. I'd have it PWM dim.

The past is never dead, and so we shovel it full of the present when we talk about it.

70% of browser usage was probably less than 1,000,000 browsers in 1994 and those primarily in large commercial and educational settings. The consumer internet didn't exist because the web wasn't viable at 9600 baud (2738 websites of which 370 were .com in June '94).

http://www.mit.edu/~mkgray/net/web-growth-summary.html

It's obvious that once Microsoft got serious about the web, they quickly moved beyond MCI and newspapers of the memo to a vision of browsers "on every desk and in every home."

The scale at which Microsoft distributed browsers made the web commercially viable in the way we know it today. It's easy to forget that Netscape was bundled with AOL - keyword: walled garden.

Which is fine in my view. Is a lot of fun to read the political points and counter-points of a lot of people. You really learn a lot.

edit: I guess you could say this is not the right forum to discuss politics. Not all the time, maybe. Some of the time I think is fine since politics affects all of us. Unfortunately, right now there is no better place to have intelligent discussion in all types of topics so I do enjoy it when we analyze stories like this. We need to have a diverse diet, I believe.

I think the bigger problem here is that Github is rather useless at gracefully abandoning a project. The usual solution is for an interested maintainer to fork the project and continue, but with any sufficiently popular project it's impossible to tell which forks, if any, have momentum.

I feel like there's got to be a middle ground between the current "fork in obscurity" model and the OP's "commit bits for everyone" model. But I'm not smart enough to think of what that might entail.
It turns out that evolutionary change doesn't so much depend on how many generations there have been (because things tend to be well enough adapted to their environment that obvious changes don't help much), but rather on how much their environment has changed around them.

That said, the amazing diversity of beetles suggests that some types of bugs have indeed been changing rapidly.

Zoning laws seem like one example of a regulation that genuinely prevents the tragedy of the commons. If one person built a twenty story house on their property, that person would get rich and all their neighbors would be slightly worse off.

Isn't that exactly the problem? The relationship between intelligence and duration-of-evolution is not direct and linear.

In response to your assertion, it seems to me that with our advances in medicine it doesn't look likely that we're going to evolve greater intelligence. I would expect any species that evolves our level of intelligence will take an interest in medicine and arrive at basically the same steady state. So I'm going to make a completely unsupportable and useless from-first-principles prediction that intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos will be approximately as intelligent as us.
But this has been discussed ad nauseam, and it's unproductive to keep complaining about it. The fact should be obvious, at least by now, that sandboxing uses more resources. If you're fine with that, great! If not, do something to fix it or use a different browser.

Just yesterday, I was thinking about something similar for Opera. Opera supports tab stacks (which are great), but many often go unused for days, so I thought about implementing a way to convert a tab stack to a simple tab with an overview of the sites that were open in it.

My main problem with this is that you can't order your tabs into groups - the extension may not even make a distinction between regular tabs and pinned tabs.

> Hopefully the correlation between empathy and intelligence is universal and not just a trend among humans.

I hate to rain on your parade, but empathy and intelligence are selected only insofar as it supports survival and procreation -- only to the degree that it supports natural selection.

Empathy and intelligence are just neutral terms in a complex equation by which natural selection chooses the fittest genotype. They have no special standing, and a fair reading of human and natural history shows that, overall, they're not correlated with the survival of the species that possesses it.

Evidence? Count the number, or the biomass if you prefer, of the species that survive in a brainless, ruthless manner. Compare to those whose fitness is enhanced by empathy and intelligence. And remember that overall we can't be included in the intelligent, empathic column, at least not when we're doing our best to survive.
If I had to guess, I would say because GP didn't actually give any real reasons why adding complexity (a new language) would improve or solve a problem. Advocating languages is fine, we all have our pet languages, but it is important to remember they each are just one tool in the toolbox and that what is more important is how the language solves the problem well, instead of just blindly advocating one language over another.
Two things.

First, as a partner in a business that has Fortune 500 company paper reviewed approximately once a week (a typical MSA is ~10-15 pages long and includes insurance requirements, liability, indemnification, and IP ownership), I'm not sure I understand this idea that lawyers aren't good at reviewing other lawyers documents. In my experience, reviewing other lawyers documents is 99% of the job of a lawyer.

Second, we are commenting on a startup that purports to have taken the ideal DE C corp structure from Y Combinator and put a web interface on applying it to new companies. That strikes me as remarkably close to the "one true path" you refer to. They're lawyers. They did YC. What else are you asking for? I'm 1000x more likely to want to use them than a random BigFirm lawyer who will --- again --- charge me $15,000 to get a worse structure.
