Does RapGenius have the proper licensing to republish these lyrics?

Nope. I'm always a bit surprised this never gets brought up.

Is that what the funding is for?

Doubtful. If it was, they would have licensing by now - and you don't need anywhere near that much money for it, countless smaller sites have licensing.

Lyric websites have been shutdown many times for this.

Yup. Most of the big "illegal" lyric sites are outside the US, but RapGenius is not. Should be interesting.

How many times does the NSA or some other institution need to break laws to be held accountable? For some few people to do something other than talk about it?
PostageApp (http://postageapp.com) targets that specific need. Web-editable templates, including separated CSS and attachments which are flattened at send time. It's like a CMS for your transactional email.
That exactly the sort of assumption you can't afford to make

Okay so what if the transition took five days? How about thirty days? In the absence of seemingly any warning information at all on this, how does one ever perform such a change?

Let's take it further -- what if adding a user took down your email for a month? That is just as rational as removing an artificial limit is ("Oh didn't you know? You pushed our global user database past the threshold so we had to migrate platforms"). How about if you send an email that you CC to ten people and that takes your email down for days?

If this wasn't an expected behavior, and is seemingly a mere administration change, there is no universe where it can be pinned on the user. Doubly obvious given the confused responses of customer service.
If you also want to have your meta data encrypted (which you have not with Email):

Just use http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/ for your entire communication needs (it's not only file sharing!).

EDIT: Ok, maybe I was too naive thinking NSA & Co do not have their people on HN...
You missed the point of the post. It wasn't about how I don't like people telling me to do something I don't see the value in. It was about people dogmatically asserting the necessity of a process which has been fed to us by society without reason. Yes, college is great for some people; but society today has almost turned it into a religious thing. We're told "you have to go to college to get a good job" or "you have to go to college to be successful", essentially "you can't be smart without college". That's what I don't like. Many people instantly look down on you or assume you are less-intelligent if you don't have a degree.

Maybe you haven't had the same experiences, but I've definitely had the debate with quite a number of people who religiously insist that I should go to college, but can't reason with me why.
Why consider a 1MB window manager, when you are running Firefox (or Chrome)? The browser is easily the most memory-consuming app on most PCs.

Great f%*ing job. Couple of years from now everyone will take these features as granted on every linux distro's terminal. Next gen linux non-power users will probably think terminal has always been like this before. And yet some people here are giving negative feedback..
I would love to read what happened next: his resignation letter and her response. Did she try to change the rules? Did he give her a reasonable list of "why"? Did she ever get nasty with him. What happened next??
"MEDITATION is fast becoming a fashionable tool for improving your mind." - Oh, RLY?! LOL! WUT.

As for rest of the nonsense, any more or less authoritative teacher will tell you that it requires years of deliberate practice to attain very basic level of being continuously aware and in control of ones inner states. It is not mere sitting and counting one's breath. This is just a training drill for the very first realization, that thoughts are not continuous, that there is a gaps between them, and that the thought could be stopped, but not by self-denial or will, but naturally ceased, like an unnecessary tension. This is just a realization (the most important one) but one cannot stop ones mind without forcing oneself, and even that only for a few seconds. This is NOT the goal of meditation. It is only the very first step.

But the next step - from this very first realization to developing a habit of being self-aware continuously, without any conscious effort requires years of practice.

Different schools and branches has different techniques to practice daily in order to develop this habit of permanent self-awareness with in pop-culture is called the third eye (which looks inside). Practices which are based on body/breath control to change the state of the mind usually called yoga, at least in Tibetan or Indian tradition, but there are many so-called analytic meditation techniques, such as famous Tibetan meditation on a corpse (to realize the true nature of our body) and so on.

So, please, cut that 8-week-course crap out. What they "measured" is elevated self-esteem, or better self-confidence, or just felling special or even enlightened - any kind of these naive pre-mature "experiences" each and any novice had had.

It takes years of daily practice, as any other talent development.
How can he get a fair trial when most of it will be a secret trial because all of the evidence is classified?

I think it will be far more likely that they fabricate hidden bank accounts with money traced back to China or Iran or something to discredit him and then make it look like China had him killed.
It doesn't work that way. "The government told me to do it" is an excuse that died with the Nazis during the Nuremberg trails. As a civilization, humanity has generally agreed that doing something evil because you were told to do it by the "law" is not even close to an okay excuse.
I'm still conflicted over these Snowden revelations. On the one hand, it is (of course) an egregious (and probably illegal) breach of privacy.

On the other hand, I think it's incredibly naive to believe that, once a technology exists, it won't be aggressively used to further the interests of nation-states and multinational corporations alike.

What makes you think for a second that China and Russia aren't using (or at least in the process of building) the same sorts of systems?
I'm not a scientist, but doesn't a large enough sample-size greatly limit the chance of this, statistically?

> If you're transmitting any data that could be illegal, your safest bet is to use some kind of encryption that would take longer than the statute of limitations for whichever crime you're committing to break (you'd probably also have to factor Moore's law into your calculation and pray that quantum computing doesn't become viable in the next x years).

Not all crypto algorithms are breakable by quantum computers. Just use one of the ones that is not. (Because the most common algorithms are based on integer factorization, which can be done efficiently with quantum computers, there seems to be a widespread belief that quantum computing makes encryption with normal computers impossible.)
Programming MotherF*****, Do you speak it?
I migrated a company with 60 franchises from a broken, old, 25 MB per mailbox mail system, to Google Apps last year.

The biggest suggestion I have for anyone wanting to use the paid Google Apps is to go through an authorized reseller. You will get better pricing, and they generally have faster access to higher level support than going directly through Google. I had an absolute nightmare of a time with client support (construction workers with little computer literacy) but any legitimate problems during the transition were quickly dealt with by Google via the reseller.

Also, good luck getting a response from the Google Apps sales team in the first place.

"They also confirmed that the light from the Canon flash and the Polaroid flashbulb could be effectively blocked by "black bagging" the flash, or by blocking the EPROM window with "tin foil" held in place by clear cellulose tape, or by blocking the EPROM window with "standard electrical tape."

As I mentioned in the beginning of my article, that's what I did. It took me about 30-40 minutes to get to school in the mornings. I had classes from 8am-1pm. Another 50 minutes or so to get to work. I would then work until about 10pm. I would go home and take care of the things I needed to for life, go to bed, get up at 6am and repeat. I didn't have much time for homework or study and I was sooner going to sacrifice my school work than my job. Luckily I realized the futility of the process.
I can see myself using a regular terminal emulator for vim on one half of my screen, and something like Final Term for running tests and doing other stuff on the other half.

Since one uses terminals for several different things, it kind of makes sense the idea to use ones specialized for each purpose. I think it's an interesting idea.
This is the one I prefer: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/15/alternatetab/

It correctly switches and changes order based on your alt+tab history, and it splits alternate workspaces up into an end section which switches workspace for you, so 'shift + alt + tab' becomes 'go to the last app on another workspace i used'. Very nice.
This is so much cool!
Forget Business School: Why an Emotional Education is Indispensable
Much more likely is that he gets put in solitary confinement until he is not capable of presenting a cognizant defense.
The purpose is to lay down the false premise that IPOs are largely (solely?) responsible for wealth creation so that if you don't participate you are missing out, and that jobs are created in the process. As if the capital structure of a business caused those results, not the actual goods and services produced by the business.
There seems to be more questioning of the government though with the ability for people to dissent without being branded as terrorists, communists, etc...

America is so large that it is near impossible to impact the status quo. There is so much blind patriotism and faith in the government that anyone who disagrees is quickly marginalized and branded as unpatriotic. "You don't like it? Leave."
> I very rarely miss a family dinner, and I almost never work on the weekends. These are the perks of working for one’s self.

You don't have to work for yourself to do that; indeed I'd think it's a bigger risk when freelancing.

I have a conventional job; my boss and I both know what my hours are (they're written in my contract). I'd never miss an arranged dinner or work a weekend; I'd be amazed and somewhat insulted to even be asked. Is this really something normal over in the US?
It is true how your choices in life make for distinct personalities. I'm not even 30 yet and have a seven year-old. I can't imagine waiting until 40 before having kids. It really depends on what you define "good" as.

It is pretty easy to flip around the "old" label, for instance: some could say a 50 year-old parent seems "old" - now 40 years removed from their 10 year-old child. How many 50 year-olds do you see getting down and dirty with their kids playing and being carefree?

But, seriously, people of any age can be great parents and lots of different people have different goals in life. Some people seek money, some love, some fame, some recognition, knowledge, excitement, stability, fun, etc.

Good points, but seemed a bit misogynistic. Maybe it was the pictures.
Most brazillians did not celebrated 9/11, obviously. Most did not care.

Several of those who did, were shocked, and sad, specially those that had relatives there.

But several were VERY HAPPY, usually those that got screwed during the cold war.

My point is: people forget, that when you make yourself a hated enemy, people WILL hate you, in irrational ways, it is easy to create terrorist and a vicious cycle of violence.

Brazil up to WWII liked the US, bought craploads of US stuff, and even joined WWII for the US side despite the president being fascist and having connections to the Italian fascists (of course, the fact US offered a steel mill in bribe when Brazil had none, was a huge factor).

During cold war, US backed the military coup here, and quickly things turned into "we vs them", we had during the cold war a US embassador kidnapped, citibank branches bombed or torched, english speaking soldiers killed (the most famous was two UK navy sailors that were here on vacation) and so on.

What make you think, that after you make people believe you are their enemy, that you are at war with them, they will stop believing that after situation change?

There are lots of people here that has a grudge not only with US, but with all of its citizens as well, injust as that might be, the destruction of the World Trade Center, a economic symbol of the US, and the attack on Pentagon, is something that several people around the world cheered (obviously more on middle east, where people threw wild parties in the street and shot upwards) because those people viewed it as the invincible bully being hurt for the first time, people saw it, horrible as the actual event was in numbers of civilians killed, as a successful war attack, revenge, justice, david hurting goliath, etc...

People are NOT psychopaths, they are normal people, hurt by US government so deeply, that any chance they have to see it hurting back will make them happy, even if it means the deaths of thousands of innocents.

This is what fuel wars...

United States huge military is a deterrent for countries attacking it, but don't mistake that peace for the world agreeing with the US, I am very sure few countries would side with the US in a hypotetical world war with a level amount of military (ie: not US having alone half of the world military power, as current it is).

I am very sure that if you leave a US citizen (any citizen, the most adorable citizen even) near one of the territories were PCC is popular (PCC is a huge organized crime thing here, created during the cold war with purpose of fighting US-backed government), people (normal people, civilians, not members of PCC) will be happy to do things to that citizen that is best not describe here...

I was just thinking that I really needed a service like this.

One feature I really need though would be support for internationalization, since creating a separate project for each language is quite annoying (and the reason why I'm not using MixPanel Engage.)

Do you have plans for supporting that? If you could integrate with OneSky that would be even better! :)
Part of the problem with viewing life as a conveyor belt is that you build up expectations of what's ahead. I think that one of the OP's points was that you may be very disappointed (even feel a bit cheated) to learn that happiness is not inevitable, even if you follow all the required steps. So instead, don't just follow the steps. Question, think, break 'rules' if you have to. Make your own choices and don't just follow the prescribed path. You won't get a second chance.
A higher rate is commensurate with a higher end product. It does not give the client license to change the scope of the project every other day.

Cell phones are for emergency access (the site is down, etc) and only given in specific situations for specific rates. That does not sound like the case here. The client was given a phone number that would go to his cell at specific times which was more than sufficient.

Having regular phone contact is perfectly fine and can be scheduled for regular meetings. Weekly status meetings on ongoing work. Pre and post-launch meetings for specific milestones. Things like that. A client that wants license to call your cell whenever they think of a random bit of information instead of sending it in an email or saving it for a scheduled phone meeting (or scheduling one specifically for it) is not a client you want to have. They clearly don't value your time or the fact that you have other clients and responsibilities.
I love Day One and had already bought it. But I wish it was the Mac version that was free. The price is rather steep.
You've given the textbook definition of corporatism, then say it is done by "the capitalists", therefore—I guess—corporatism = capitalism.

No, that conclusion is not what I'm claiming. I'm not saying that capitalism is the same as corporatism; I'm saying that capitalists (people who control the capital, not supporters of capitalism) have an incentive to change a capitalist system to a corporatist system.

Isn't there something fundamentally different which is also called capitalism? Without any reference to who owns the means of production, where mutually voluntaristic exchange occurs in an unhampered market scenario we call this process capitalism as well.

Capitalism necessarily entails ownership of capital; this is not to say that it's the same as corporatism.

There are people who defend markets without defending capitalism: these are usually called mutualists, and they're usually connoted with the left, though unlike state socialists, they defend a stateless society.

I've been reading this on the subject, but I'm still very early on: http://www.amazon.com/Markets-Not-Capitalism-Individualist-I...

Saying "the capitalists" is a lot like the us vs. them tactic of left vs. right or republicans vs. democrats.

That depends on the intention, no? I wasn't judging them, I was stating a fact about the incentives that people who own capital are subject to. This doesn't mean that all capitalists are necessarily promoting corporatism; just that it's in their self-interest to do so.

And again, this is hardly a leftist position, it's (as I said) shared by people like Friedman, and it's one of the arguments in favor of anarcho-capitalism.

What is "an established capitalist"? Is that somehow different than a run of the mill capitalist?

It's what it says. There are established companies and startups, and there are established capitalists and young entrepreneurs trying to compete with them.

If you buy into the outmoded doctrine of profit seeking automatons as "capitalists", then your argument works. Competing theories of the firm have discovered the tendency toward revenue-maximization versus pure, blind monetary profit maximization.

Having state protection against competition helps with both. But again, this is not a judgment of individual capitalists, it's statement about the incentives they have. It doesn't mean they're all bound to lobby, they just have a incentive to do so.

Just because you recognize that utilizing a state's ability to assign perks to business is properly called corporatism as well doesn't mean that you aren't conflating this process of exploitation with genuine free-market capitalism.

My point is that economic systems are not immutable; a free market capitalists system can be replaced by a corporatist system, much like feudalism was replaced by the current system.
Fantastic. I live within an hour drive to the plant so I just sent them an email asking if there are any tours scheduled in coming weeks. Would love to visit myself.

> 2. Mozilla wouldn't exist today if the Netscape team didn't destroy their company

Any source to back up the claim that the Netscape team maliciously destroyed the company? What would be their motive? From everything I've read the codebase was an absolute mess, hence the motivation for a re-write.
Works pretty nice but is there anyway I can get it to display function parameters as I type?
There should be a big for a business stuck on there. The primary reasons are loss of quality, practically by definition new code is less well tested than old code; loss of time, in the rewrite you spend time re-implementing features your system already had which doesn't provide new value for end users(it is hard to sell an upgrade of no new features.)

Wow, that is incredibly misinformed. And even if it were true (it is not), it does not justify torture. Torture is always despicable, and there's a permanent moral stain on the nation that perpetrates torture, no matter who is being tortured. There is no excuse. No excuse.
Yes, it seems pretty normal here; at least in the consultancies and businesses I've worked in, I've never seen hours or weekdays listed anywhere in an employment contract, and I can't imagine any of the employers I've gone through agreeing that sort of commitment.
