Sounds like a simple solution would to duplicate the headers in the body and encrypt them along with the message. That way, even if you resend that email, the encrypted To: field would make it obvious that it was meant only for you.
Here's a blog post with more information about its creation and development: http://www.thomasboyt.com/2013/03/24/announcing-noted.html
I am not sure if that is true. That worrying about dilution is a form of downside risk mitigation.

Primarily, if you don't worry about dilution you'll loose control (unless you have some sort of special stock that gives you more voting power). Control for me is probably the most valuable thing I have. And, Although selling stock is not the only way to loose control, if you don't worry at all you'll loose control fairly quickly.

Lastly, your employees will also loose moral as they see VC's own pretty much the whole company.
Can computer geeks save the GOP?
Eterm does this. It does help, but it is kind of ugly.
I'm totally going to pay $2,500 so I can work for them for one day :P Jokes apart, I hope they are successful with their project
That's fucking bullshit and you know it. You did it to be cute, dismissive and to satisfy your passive aggressiveness. Dude.
The same app 4 times: PHP vs Python vs Ruby vs Clojure
Bullshit. I did.

I see in your other post you claimed that, then listing exactly the use that people resort to a box cutter for (cutting twine, opening boxes, etc, safely opened and closed with one hand, etc).

Do you even know what assisted opening knifes are? They are not switchblades.

Instead of having a button on the side of the knife that causes it to trigger open via spring actuation, it has a trigger lever on the blade back that causes it to trigger open via spring actuation, almost certainly being designed specifically to get around overly specific anti-switchblade laws. They are legal only by a trivial technicality of switchblade laws.

You know there's a video directly in the linked blog posting. And anyone not lying to themselves can clearly see that the differences are laughable.
In PGP and S/MIME, the ciphertext is signed. You don't encrypt a signed message, you sign an encrypted message.

You can't take a signed message that was encrypted with your public key, decrypt it, re-encrypt it with somebody elses public key, and expect it to still appear signed by the original sender when the new recipient decrypts it.

[edit] There are of course serious problems with the lack of header signing/encryption and replay attacks though I agree. Hence why I add a small note at the end of all of the pgp signed comments on my blog: "This signed text was written for https://grepular.com/ only"
I went to Open Database camp a few weeks ago. There was a talk about the split...

The short story: MariaDB is a fork of MySQL done by Michael "Monty" Widenius one of the mySQL founders.

It seems the winds of fear are blowing against mySQL and MariaDB is getting mindshare (it is a fork so pretty close still but not going back). Although Oracle hasn't really done anything yet, and did send a rep to the conference, there seems to be some distrust.

About a decade ago at a startup we had and Oracle instance running s a test, their sales people where tenacious (fought them off by asking for an ODBC driver for linux). Then startup went under. sigh.
I always wondered what that was, but hadn't got around to checking it out.
This is pretty much what Chrome does, grouping everything under "site data". It also shows you flash cookies, though as far as I know, it doesn't show you its contents and doesn't let you block them through the third-party controls. A rather strange system.
ah, so I did. Thanks!
The Curious Properties of a Molten Glass Blob Dropped in Cold Water
Agreed. Multiplexing panes and tabs should be the responsibility of the WM, not the terminal itself.
I agree. Let me also add that it's often good policy to assume we're all basically decent people, and any problems are due to mistakes or incomplete knowledge. At least at first. Innocent until proven guilty.
Startups targeting enterprise or government customers might well use Oracle. It's free* to develop on, and something a lot of those sorts of clients use anyway.

* Last I checked, Oracle allowed you to use Oracle RDBMS free for "prototype development" but once you were actually generating revenue from that you are supposed to buy the necessary licenses, even for continued development or support purposes.
While I agree with most of what you're saying, the 2Mb JS file is entirely expected behavior if you don't use advanced compilation, which eliminates unused JS code and would hence cut down the file size to a fraction of what you see.
With that attitude we wouldn't have much improvement in anythin.

No one really knows if a given product will be successful or not.

The creator of this product wrote (http://threads2.scripting.com/2013/march/myNewCompanyAndOurF...):

"Little Outliner is a new beginning. Our easy on-ramp. We want to re-introduce idea processing, and using outliners to create presentations, but this time the difference is networking. I think you'll be amazed at what we come up with in the coming months."

Now, whether they'll be successful or not is anyone's guess, but clearly they have a plan and presumably that plan involves doing something better/different than workflowy (which is a good product that I pay for).

Let's wait and see and give them the benefit of the doubt?

Don't such systems generally encrypt first and then sign the encrypted text, specifically to avoid this?

Your points about subject lines and other assorted headers are correct.
It should be noted that these tax rates are marginal. Effective state income tax rates are typically much, much lower.
In this case you could do a so-called flip bringing your assets from the EU to the US (contributing cash and assets).

A drawback is everything depends on the main E2 visa holders - as long as this person holds the visa others can follow; if this person does not hold the visa any more, all attached immigration permits are gone as well (e.g. if the company goes out of business you can't stay in the US and look for a job).
Here in the UK the bottom rate of tax is 20%, it rises to 40% for income over £40,000 (about $60,000). I would love an income tax rate of 13%!

Oh and we currently have a 50% rate but it's about to drop to 45% for income come over £150,000.
I don't think this is the greatest advice. That said, it can be exactly like this and worse.

You really need to evaluate who you're receiving money from. Are they the right person to invest in your company? Will they support you in the low times and not try to screw you in the high times? If you think this will happen if you take money from your particular friends and family, then inuhj's advice is solid.

But it sounds more like expectations weren't managed. If you haven't told your investors how you're going to spend their money that is your fault for not telling them and treating your investors how they should be treated. Every investment dollar should have a purpose. (Yes, treat your friends and family like investors. Not like family. If you treat them like family who gave you money, they'll treat you like family who took their money, as in inuhj's example.)

The golden rule of raising from friends and family: If you're trading on relationship, then you put the relationship at risk. If you're trading on merit of the investment, then the relationship is separate.

This then allows you to at least somewhat evaluate whether the investor will freak out if you lose their money. As with an angel investor, they need to be willing and ABLE to lose every penny they put in. TELL THEM THAT. If they have a problem, or you sense a problem, don't take their money.

This then blur's the line between "friends & family" and "angels." VC's or VCs-in-angels-clothing are a separate category. This is not a firm that "does angel investing" this is an individual high-net-worth individual. Could be friend, family, or other.

And this is coming form a guy who will never have a relationship with his Godparents because a business deal between my parents and my Godparents went south when I was a baby.
Chrome gets about a 6/10 for this. Client certs, for at least one thing, aren't included in "site data" (it needs to be everything or it stops being an abstraction!); and for the mechanisms it does prompt for (only a few--again, making the abstraction leak), Chrome uses a whitelisting rather than blacklisting approach, which has the failure modes I mentioned in my other comment below.
We have federal marginal income tax rates as well.
The "meaningful distinction" is that "assisted-opening" knives require a non-zero amount of force in the direction that the knife actually opens. Switchblades can just have a button.

The former takes a few minutes of practice to open smoothly, the latter doesn't.

There's no reason to buy an assisted-opening knife if switchblades are also available. So yes, they absolutely exist to exploit a loophole. Loopholes in laws do tend to create (often short-lived) markets.

Mandelbrot - Misbehavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin and Return
This was discussed the last time this link was posted and it appears Pedestal is in no way integrated with Datomic. That being said, I too got the same first impression when reading the docs.
There may be merit in splitting Google's Search and Advertising businesses. Advertising would pay Search (or Bing or Duck Duck Go) to place ads in its results via an API. Search would indiscriminately host ads posted to it by ad brokers, of which Advertising would be one. Search would be freed from having to police advertisements. Advertising's policing would be checked by competitive pressure.

In a stylised securities transaction we have customers, brokers, and an exchange. Customers have choices between brokers. Brokers, of which there are many, exercise discretion in how much capability they give which customers. The exchange, of which there is one, exercises discretion in which brokers it transacts with, but not which customers get to transact on it. This is important since the exchange has something approaching monopoly power. It also means the exchanges aren't liable for non-compliant customers - the brokers are.

Skip back to Google. Search is the exchange and Advertising is the broker. The exchange only permits one broker. Naturally, the broker-exchange is liable for policing non-compliant and stupid customers (barring a very large expansion in government which would permit it to monitor all transactions going through Google). It has also extended its exchange monopoly power to its broker.

We love disintermediation. But intermediaries facilitate checks on concentration in a competitive system.
> You are not being helpful here. She clearly points out "That no matter how tough I get, how thick my skin, the paper cuts still hurt."

I find this strange. He is potentially suggesting a way for her to avoid around 99% of the paper cuts.

If it's death by 1000 cuts, then it could well be survival by 10.
The issue is that it's retroactive. That income had become an asset to suddenly be considered as income again. The retroactive nature of the proposition was not in any of the official summary documentation for the election either.
We switched last night to Jaconda - thanks for the recommendation. While partychat never failed for us, it did prove limiting (eg no search) and seemed increasingly unmaintained (/commands not working). Jaconda also has Github integration which was nice.
Well, I disagree. The per video or per MB pricing model is a huge disadvantage for businesses which know their videos will be short or high res input.
> Obviously I and the writer of the article disagree with you that it fails the first case.

That's hard to tell in your case, since most of your commentary has been explicitly skipping past the criticism of the failure of the proxy to have a clear link to the thing it was taken as a proxy to say that doesn't matter since the results were about what you would xpect, rather than actually addressing the criticism.

So it sounds like you were failing to understand the first test more than you were disagreeing with the criticism based on it. And, as yet, you haven't stated any reason for disagreeing, just continued to skip to the second test.
I gave up on urxvtcd when I realized that a single crash brings down all your terminals. Nowadays I use stock xterm, since while I was dallying with urxvt, xterm got the one feature I cared about from urxvt, which was URGENT-on-bell.
No chance. Most of the younger generation (except right-wing radicals) is simply abhorred by the political stances of the GOP (abortion, gay marriage, army, political nepotism/corruption, internet policy).

Give them ten years and the GOP will effectively have disbanded itself.
Yes, leave California for the even bigger nanny state of New York where they're busy hiding your cigarettes and soft drinks...

I think there are much better choices of state to relocate to.
I mostly agree. I just want to specifically say for the games example that as a technical person, I'm willing to work with someone who will prove the game in the real world as a pen and paper game that can be much easier as an online game. Admittedly graphics heavy, programming intensive games I'm less interested in working with a game-designer as a co-founder but for something that's mostly a single screen app it's interesting.

Phoenix is starting to pick up some of it, too, I think. But yeah, really, New York?
And no, I'm not available, I'm quite happy where I am, I'm just saying there are plenty of good real world independently designed board games that could be turned into better online games.
These are the state income tax rates; Federal income taxes are on top of that. The bottom Federal rate is effectively zero, and tops out at 35% for marginal income over about $380K.
Stop bad 3D printing patents
It's a bit disingenuous to make such a claim. The bar is essentially the same since browsers execute all, 1st and 3rd-party JS by default. Loading a document is enough. For a web-browser it's quite rare to make requests without completing the transfer.

The bar is essentially the same and the changes that privacy-invading 3rd party scripts have to do to bypass the Firefox's implementation are minimal, so Mozilla may as well not make any triumphant claims until this glaring issue is fixed.

When Women Wanted Sex Much More Than Men
I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I strongly suspect 'legal in all states' means that it just hasn't come to court yet. It's possible that the legal definition of a switchblade is so specific (eg about the button being on the handle of the knife and a safety switch being present) that this new design doesn't qualify, in which case this new design would be legal unless or until states see fit to prevent its sale.
The big one that likely upset him (and which he more specifically calls out in a previous piece) was the elimination of the qualified small business exclusion:

Not only did the state's Franchise Tax Board (FTB)
eliminate a tax break on capital gains for small
business owners and investors, it announced the tax
would be reinstated retroactively. This means those
who benefitted from the break can expect a bill for
unpaid taxes, plus interest, stretching all the way
back to 2008.

Well, for one, the threat of the FCC, FTC, or FDA fining them enormous sums of money. Google is damned if they do, and damned if they don't. If they allow any and all ads, even from those who are outright running congames and ripping people off, they will be accused of profiting off of immoral activity (as they were with the drugs-over-the-internet case.) However, if they then turn around and refuse to run such ads, they are accused of censorship, and once again, being evil.

They have to walk a tight rope, doing enough curation to avoid government and public outcry, and at the same time, not doing too much. The world isn't black and white, it's always gray, and deciding where to draw the line is not something which is objective.
Presumably since the cans get emptied so much less often they can get big savings by skipping 3rd street entirely because none of the cans is reporting full.
> it may be that they had a good notion using length-of-commit as a measure for expressiveness.

Replace "expressiveness" with "author's anticipation of reviewer difficulty based on prevailing cultural biases" and you have a different conclusion for how authors size groups of changes that also matches the order graphed.

If you want literal expression-per-line why not just look at compressed_size/line_count for the available body of work in each language?

He is referring to it as an "asset seizure" because he already paid incomes taxes on this amount. Prop 30 was passed late in the year, after most of this income was made. If we classify this as a tax, then all true asset seizures could be reclassified as such if we just apply tax rules to earlier and earlier tax years.

Remember, the constitutional prohibition against "Ex Post Facto" laws doesn't apply here.
Thanks.

On a random note, why do all unix applications (generalising I know) seem to default to a super-minimal set of options? Surely the kind of people who get annoyed by mouse integration (and you can just ignore it) are the kind of people who can find out how to turn it on, whereas those of us who are using tmux for the first time want all the nice options turned on by default?
It arose partly because people were finding it such a hassle to move audio by saving it one app and opening it in another.

It's not logical. You can sell the 0-5m random option for more than 1m (more than 2m!). Or you can buy some sort of insurance where someone pays you if you get a low roll, but you pay them if you get a high roll.

Taking 40% as much money (on average) is some really expensive risk mitigation. There are much, much better deals available.

For the larger amounts of money, the risk mitigation comes at a much higher price and is even more silly.
This should be an interesting experiment, test to see how much charge the graphene will hold.

Being less dense than air means that its structure won't inhibit attraction/repulsion and being conductive means that it will be able to transport charge to its surface. And just like an 'air' balloon you can stick to the roof after rubbing it to your head, it seems like it should be able to do the equivalent of a Van de Graf charge transfer inside the "block" to transfer charge to the graphene.

At which point you can make a balloon which 'repels' the Earth (or is attracted to it).

Interesting times indeed.

I agree. I have no fear of criticizing Google because they are algorithmic. I don't think they're going to dig through my history and find my AdWords account and stick it to me just because I wrote a nasty diatribe about their bullshit. My fear with Google will be that I do the wrong thing accidentally that gets me flagged and there will be no way to rectify it because there is no human behind the controls and I have no back-channel or following to get Matt Cutts to pay attention to me.
Have you tried the bash-completion package? It adds a ton of context based tab completion stuff.
Going to a Trade Show? Leave the Gimmicks at Home and Get Down to Business
It’s pretty tough being in the sales business and not having to attend a trade show or two in the run of a year. It’s all about wheeling and dealing, schmoozing and boozing, and trying to outshine the competition.Trade shows exist on a spectrum from the Las Vegas extravaganza to the Springfield county fair. No matter the size and scope of an event there’s a few things that never change for most sales professionals…
> then listing exactly the use that people resort to a box cutter for

I also have a box-cutter (which by the way, thanks to its lower mass and design, can be opened just as quickly with one hand, despite lacking a spring assist...) Sometimes I use one, other times I use the other. Do you have a problem with that?

> Instead of having a button on the side of the knife that causes it to trigger open via spring actuation, it has a trigger lever on the blade back that causes it to trigger open via spring actuation

So I take it you have never actually used one...

Regardless, they come in many forms. Mine has a thumb-bar on the blade. There is absolutely no accidental opening of the knife, it requires a non-trivial amount of pressure to push past the point where the spring takes over and until that point, the spring works against you. It is as safe as any knife can be and is, quite clearly, a knife designed to be more convenient than regular pocket knives.

Besides your made up bullshit about them being unsafe, why would anyone in the market for a cheap folding knife not buy one that had a spring assist? It is 100% a matter of practicality.

This is not my knife, though mine is of the same form: http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Wesson-SWATMB-Assisted-Opening/d... (notice the "tools and home improvement" section...) Not a high quality knife by any means, but it is incredibly practical and useful.

Believe it or not, not all knife owners are members of the Sharks or the Jets...
Firefox and LibreOffice are desktop apps. Apache is a server. We are talking about server apps, in particular web applications. Anybody who has had to install a non-trivial Rails application like Gitlab, Discourse or Redmine, knows that pain.
I use notmuch with emacs, and love it. Can't really imagine using a GUI for email.
The former takes a few minutes of practice to open smoothly, the latter doesn't.

Having once owned a switchblade, it takes a bit of practice to hold it such a way that you can operate it but not block the path of the outswinging blade with your fingers. Watching the demonstration in this video, there doesn't seem to be any more force employed in operating the switch that there was in pressing the button. I agree that this is probably a short-lived thing that will fade away following a minor regulatory clarification.
