I am very interested in developing an iOS client for this. We are developing a pluggable framework for Tor integration on iOS called OnionKit [1] based off of Onion Browser for the ChatSecure project [2], the only open source OTR compatible chat client for that platform. It's in pretty rough shape right now because we got stuck trying to figure out how to make Apple's Networking APIs honor the proxy settings on TCP connections, so please contact us if you can help solve this problem.

Since it doesn't involve the transfer of money or copyrighted material, it shouldn't yet be rejected by Apple's reviewers as the BitTorrent and BitCoin protocol have been. Skype is still allowed, and that technically is (or used to be?) a peer to peer communications system.

Unfortunately, you aren't presently allowed by Apple to run a background socket on iOS for longer than 10 minutes unless it is a full VoIP application, so you would never be able to use it for push-style communication, without compromising a user's anonymity via a web backend that stores your APNS token (device specific messaging token for iOS devices).

The proof of work concept is really interesting. It's a good way to deter spamming. I wonder whether email can utilize the same concept to force a cost for sending email. May be a two-tier system, emails with POW signature would be sent faster, while plain old email has lower priority.

1) And Brasil to Misiones, Jujuy to Bolivia, You also have Chile and other countries without money restrictions. Yet most business are made in Buenos Aires, and there is still a lot of people that doesn't live close to the borders and that it won't be a solution for them, yet it will be a way to get around this restriction if you live close to the border.

2) Luckily I don't have to talk much about Menem and the military, because they are not at the power anymore :) And I'm most worried for the current politics, than the politics for 10-20 years ago, yet I still wanted to talk a little about the background of the current president. Actually Menem still has a seat in the senate, could you remind me who is he aligned with at the moment? I'll give you a clue: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e6yqY3d7JA0/TY9oVCxqzLI/AAAAAAAABi...

3) And I also don't forget all other other countries whose example we can follow, like Chile, Brasil and so on. Following Cuba and Venezuela examples/politics its just bad business and bad politics, specially if it risk you to a "USA" economic ban ;)

I agree that leaving the country won't help the current situation in Argentine, but I also understand that most people with the studies and the experience is starting to leave the country, most of my developer friends started to leave the country this year. But feel free to go to Argentine, earn a salary in the local currency for your hard work, without being able to take your money out of the country and looking for a way to save your savings from the inflation. And good luck trying to gets investors if you plan to develop a company, specially at the time where you will have to explain them how you plan to give them back their investment and earnings with the current restrictions.

I can't speak to your specific case, but from my understanding:

Bringing in traffic from social media translates to search rank indirectly: eg. if your site hosts user generated content. So people visit your site from social media, create and update your content. That content gets crawled and ranked.

If your visitors are not creating content, or if maybe that content is not being indexed properly, then it would make more sense as to why your site is not getting tons of organic traffic.

In some cases, your app/site is not designed for people in a searching mindset eg. "Xs near me" "cheap/new Y" or "who/what/when/where/why/how is/did Z". Therefore search is less important to you.

I find another pattern works well. You ask permission for ridiculous things, in order to focus other people on what you want to do and how they can help.

It's really simple. Don't open with what you want to do, open with what you'd like to get, and make sure that you're mentioning 2 or 3 things you're willing to give up. Don't say "I want to write a complex mobile app for the delivery department", say "I need a $200k to hire 2 programmers, buy 30 different phones, and 6 months of nothing on my plate, you got 15 minutes ?".

Obviously, you do this once every 6 months or so at most, preferably less, and follow through.

It's amazing, especially in America, how mentioning dollar amounts focuses people on solving problems and looking at opportunities instead of looking for excuses. Finding excuses is universal in organizations, especially big ones, and the higher ups have as much trouble with it at the cleaning lady. Plus, the fact that you even know how much to ask and have a plan for the negotiation means you have built a business case (don't go in without one).

Witchcraft and drug dealing are basically both just different instances of practicing medicine that the government doesn't approve of. Drug dealing tends to have connotations involving allopathic-style medicine whereas traditional witchcraft is generally more animistic, but they are basically both the same thing, and in many cases the drugs involved are probably even identical or else analogues.
> Improve your code by making it do less not more.

Exactly. The problem is that code can tend to be either crap (spaghetti) or too much code (too many methods and layers of extraction). So, I'd go one step further: code should do less, not more, and should be clear and understandable, without making unnecessary sacrifices. What is clear to me isn't clear to everyone else, but striving for clarity and simplicity isn't a bad thing.

It's not about who does it, it's about whether there is a sufficiently fair establishment of guilt. In a developed country anyone calm and reasonable enough to be part of establishing a trial is extremely likely to let the government handle the trial. But it's entirely possible to have a fair hearing without involving the government. Once you've shown guilt of a sufficiently heinous crime beyond reasonable doubt then from my point of view it's not murder to kill them. It doesn't matter who is doing that killing.

There are other, simpler circumstances where you can show guilt to a reasonable degree, such as self-defense. If someone is shooting at you you can shoot back, for example. No murder.
Right now yes. In the future, who knows.

It doesn't seem like this would go away though. Each of the big streamers are building a specific base set of streamable content.

Amazon is focused on newer films more so than Netflix and Hulu.

Hulu is focused on new television content, with some original programming from overseas shows mostly.

Netflix is focused on older television and movie content, with stronger original programming.

HBO Go will be new movies and strong original content.

Right now there is certainly room for all of these services... I think in the future its highly likely we'll see other channels make a stronger stream crossover (like Comedy Central, Food Network, ESPN, etc..) and we'll basically have content streaming channels. In that world, Netflix, Amazon and HBO GO are still strong, but Hulu might start loosing content or have stronger competition, and that could be problematic.
How did it not occur to you that equating the burning alive of young women for witch craft with teaching children beliefs (alongside apposing beliefs, no less!) commonly held among billions of people (who do not burn people alive as witches) would be offensive?

So what do you propose we do, if not fight superstition with education? Convert them all to a religion that you find more pleasant? I think I would file that under "not palatable", to put it mildly. Fighting superstition by providing education is the only solution that we can embrace.

> what about instances where superstition does not cause violence?

What about it? Why should we clinge to it just because it can be benign? I cannot mourn the loss of benign superstition killed by education.

> Or instances (like lynchings) where mob violence is not triggered by superstition.

We shouldn't fight superstition because doing so is not a silver bullet for all the worlds problems?

> Diane Purkiss argues "that there is no evidence that the majority of those accused were healers and midwives; in England and also some parts of the Continent, midwives were more than likely to be found helping witch-hunters."[92] Also the fact remains that most women used herbal medicines as part of their household skills, and a large part of witches were accused by women.[93]

And drug dealers aren't hunted out of the idea that they're laying curses on people. Any harm from drugs is self-induced, and people know that. The reason to go after dealers is more complex.

From the article:

>“I called on the people. I asked, ‘Who here is a Catholic? Come, we will pray the rosary.'"

"And a lot of people came and prayed with me. We prayed the whole rosary.” Angela’s suffering echoed around them through their invocation, the ritual comforts of one belief system colliding with the atrocities of another.<
(emphases mine)

This speaks, I think, to your underlying point. Superstition played a role both in perpetrating this crime as well as in squandering an opportunity to put an end to it. Instead of "a lot" of people helping, "a lot" of people prayed.

Maybe not. People are not that rational when it comes to the cost of something - we have an internal gauge of what is "fair", and violating that can be dangerous. Using an elastic price like this could kill their market before it's established. People are not rational - very few companies do this with their products, even ones that they can't keep on the shelves.

1) The reason Play can't operate in Argentina is because of government imposed currency controls have made cross border payments very difficult (reread 1st & 2nd paragraphs).

2) Learn about the Montoneros and it's members participation in the Kirchener governments (see paragraph 4).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montoneros

3) Democracy may be the least worst form of government but Kirchener's populist policies are slowly destroying what should be a great country. This is a weakness of Democracy - the government can buy votes at the expense of future growth.

4) Gun laws are quite strict in Argentina and have become much stricter under the Kichener government. There is no right to own a gun in Argentina.

If the content cannot do its job free from embellishment then it is bad content and/or employs bad hierarchy or contrast.

That is like saying if a product can't sell itself without marketing, then it is a bad product. Such a claim assumes there is some universal definition of 'bad' and that if embellishment is needed to bring attention to an element, that its content must be bad.

If you are going to make the above claim, you might as well make a case for living in a black and white world where the colors and design are mostly used to embellish otherwise bad things.

"Superstition" is just an outlet for these peoples' troubles, their fears, and their anger. Coupled with truly despicable individuals who would take advantage of this situation for power and pleasure, you can have such a mob mentality in any of the "enlightened" communities.

Education certainly helps, and I'm not saying it wouldn't, but blaming this on superstition as though that's the true cause is woefully misguided.

Try describing in equations how the "bean machine" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Planche_de_Galton.jpg) works (you just need knowledge of basic probability, and then some calculus when you go to actually deriving the functions), until you get to the mathematical derivation of the bell curve - it will give you a very "mechinistically intuitive" understanding of it if you can imagine it starting from a physical mechanical process -> idealized physical process -> mathematical model -> generalize the model as much as possible -> come back to the real world by applying the model to real world problems. It's weird how intuitive stats becomes when you see it as "just physics and math" and then distill the purest "abstract" model out of it in a way that it can be used generally and without knowledge of how it was derived (I know, in school you're taught to "apply probability and statistics in physics and engineering", not to "apply physics and math and engineering to understand statistics and probability" - but this way of turning you mind upside down in a way that is "kind of wrong" helps your intuition a lot).

> too many methods and layers of extraction

Surely, you mean abstraction?
I'm worried your explanation may be confusing to people in some places.

The bell curve and Gaussian curve (and normal curve) are almost always synonymous. Bell Curve describes its shape, while the Gaussian curve describes the guy who derived that nasty-looking pdf. While some other distributions may look bell-shaped (especially ones that converge to a Normal in some asymptotic sense, like the t-distribution), people will look at you funny if you refer to anything other than the normal (or in rare cases, the t) as "The Bell Curve".

The point about "the data is laid out so the sum of the data adds up to 1" doesn't make much sense since the Normal takes values on the entire real line. Could you clarify?

The procedure you describe is not what most people would call "normalizing", so much as breaking the data up into quantiles/percentiles. Normalizing the data would be for the instructor will subtract the average from everyone's raw score, then divide by the standard deviation. If the raw scores themselves were distributed normally, then these new "normalized" scores are now standard normal, so letter grades are given based on how far away from 0 a student's scaled score is. This procedure is pretty flawed since scores are usually not super close to normality (many exams are not symmetric in scores, the distribution may have several modes, etc). The procedure you describe makes no assumptions about the underlying data, and does not require normality, so I like it more.
Central Limit Theorem? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Limit_Theorem

The sum of die rolls shows a good example of why you get the bell shape: there are more ways (combinations) with which to sum up to the center values than the extremal values.
>Diane Purkiss argues "that there is no evidence that the majority of those accused were healers and midwives; in England and also some parts of the Continent, midwives were more than likely to be found helping witch-hunters."

Interesting, I'll look into this.

>And drug dealers aren't hunted out of the idea that they're laying curses on people.

I think many of the differences have to do with culture rather than something intrinsic. E.g. obviously witches weren't using silkroad, but that's just an artifact of the times we live in. Similarly, the reason drug dealers aren't using curses anymore is because western medicine markets itself as having moved away from ritualistic healing and toward drugs. Thus non-sanctioned medicine has followed the same trends.

There are a lot of similarities though. Both are basically taboo because of religion. And even the methods of putting them on trial are equally ridiculous pseudoscientific religious nonsense: with witchcraft it was stereotypically putting them on a scale to see how guilty they where, and in modern times it's putting the drugs on a scale to see how guilty they are.
