Not at all similar to that. Ignoring the fact that the characteristics of residences and a very high traffic website with an enormous user-base are vastly different, your argument relies on the discoverer of the vulnerability choosing one of two paths: get paid by the company or get paid by nefarious people.

A third option is to choose neither because the discoverer doesn't think it warrants his or her time to report it. Reporting a security vulnerability requires more than just sending an email. Meanwhile, others who have discovered the same vulnerability may be selling access to it and a company like Yahoo has no idea until severe damage has been done.

I love the definition of burn out I've seen on HN a few months ago. Burn out is when you participate in high risk - high reward situation for a while and you end up on the losing side multiple times.

While many people claim that they have burnt out while they just are tired/bored/lazy, there are some really serious cases when it affects the life of the person in all areas and the person really needs some help and understanding, and rather fast.

That won't work. If the restrictions module simply hands back the decrypted data then you could just change the browser to dump the data on your disk.

The only way it will work is if the restrictions module handles everything from decryption, decoding, to rendering. Probably even using a hardware DRM scheme and preventing any interaction of the video data with the JavaScript or any other website elements.
Yes, I provided it in the above comment. Go read about the Kingsbury Commitment, the The Willis-Graham Act, the history of the ICC and the FCC. In sum, the US granted AT&T a monopoly in exchange for being able to set the rates AT&T could charge (guess how beneficial that ended up being for consumers).

I don't know why people think the historical lack of monopolies (without government backing) is some right-wing nut-job theory. Not even the robber-barons wielded monopolies that allowed them to engage in "predatory pricing" or the other feared ills of monopolies. Go read about Vanderbilt or Getty or Carnegie. In each of their industries, consumers saw prices fall dramatically, even after each consolidated control over major portions of their respective markets. The fear that they would raise prices dramatically after acquiring their near-monopolies never materialized.

Edit:

>>Tell me more about functioning markets and how they can only be prevented by government force<<

Sorry, I misread your snark. I never said functioning markets can only be prevented by government force (whatever that even means). I'm saying that throughout history, you do not get monopolies that harm consumers unless the government backs the monopoly.

Following your logic, we can ignore Tesla cars that catch fire without crashing, because we can assume they're not going to catch flame when they're used properly; We can assume cars that don't crash aren't going to catch fire anyway, so, even if they may happen, let's throw that data away, because we know our assumption holds true.

That's ridiculous.

Whenever I read something like this, about the virtue of work ethic, and the vice of laziness I always think back to the phrase on those Auschwitz gates:

Arbeit macht frei

Working hard on something you're passionate is good. Working hard on an important far out goal is good (whether you enjoy it or not). Simply working hard in and of itself is not something I'd consider a virtue. In fact it may be a sign of stupidity.

The word where you made a mistake was "everywhere".

It has started to really bug me how people continually lump multiple coherent but conflicting cultural blocs into one abstract whole such as "the USA" and then act confused that their results from surveying "the USA" are blatantly incoherent, inconclusive, and contradictory.

If you are white middle-class and live on one of the two coasts, then women are encouraged to be bold, strong, and independent. If you live in the South or Midwest, older ideas of gender roles are much stronger. If you are an ethnic minority, your own culture probably has its own gender norms under which you operate (and this actually goes for men, too), or which at least compete for your dedication with the mainstream norms.

Also, being a CS graduate student engaged to a field-biologist graduate student, the following statement is VERY true: success in graduate school is a matter of isolation, competition and ridiculously long hours in the lab, at least for everyone whose scut-work can't be automated with a Python script. And that's for a white middle-class girl who was encouraged to be strong, bold, independent and educated, and actually made it to grad-school in the first place.

Science careers right now have a whole lot of problems for everyone who's not a white/Asian male workaholic of comfortably middle-class background.

The founding of Twitter was a bit of a mess.

This is just my understanding of it, is most likely at least partially wrong and is certainly missing details:

Williams and Noah Glass founded Odeo which did podcasting, Williams was the CEO and the initial $. Dorsey / Stone worked for Odeo. When iTunes added podcasting, the writing was on the wall for Odeo. A small group inside Odeo started working on other ideas, one of which was twitter. This group was (depending on who you ask) Glass, Dorsey and a contractor, Florian Weber. After getting the soft public release up, Glass wanted to spin out twitter as a separate company. Then some unknown stuff happened, Williams fired Glass, founded a new company called Obvious Corp with Dorsey, Stone and some others. Obvious Corp (Williams' $) bought out the investors of Odeo, thus acquiring all it's assets, including twitter then spun out twitter and sold off the assets of Odeo to a third party.

Interesting interview with Noah Glass here: http://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-cofounder-noah-glass-...
Because patriarchal cultures feminize low-status occupations. Remember: once upon a time, most secretaries were male because "Secretary to the CEO of X" actually meant, basically, apprentice being groomed for succession of the CEO of X. When it got made into a low-status clerical position, all of a sudden nothing but females were hired for secretarial positions.

People say that elementary school teachers are important, but when it comes to actually committing their own resources to raising the status and resource-base of elementary school teachers, no-one gives a damn.

Isn't this the same with all software? There is never anything mandating that anybody supports your OS or browser of choice.

If I want to watch netflix or play GTA5 on my haiku box I'm SOL as it is unless there is a business case to be made for doing the port.

This actually makes things easier. For example netflix currently uses silverlight for their streaming, this means that in order to watch netflix you need something that supports the entire silverlight stack.

With this proposal all you need is modern browser and a compatible CDM which is a much smaller chunk of code.

I would sure love to know what "very little" is to you. I have a hard time believing your rent is less than $1500, and I certainly wouldn't consider that "very little". Given how relative one's perception of costs can be, would you mind being a little more explicit about your rent?
Unfortunately, the creator of this site doesn't explain truly why he feels Ross Ulbricht needs a defence fund. Has he publicly stated that he is unable to mount his own defence?

If he truly is DPR, then he has funds available for his defence, and if not, the US government has an obligation to provide an attorney for him. At the same time, I'm sure some legal gun who wants the publicity would take on the case.

This whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think there are probably other people more in need of a defence fund.

Seems like a good candidate for an "internet of things" solution in the future, eg. a baby seat with a weight sensor, thermometer and 3G data connection (or optionally, some tie in to OnStar, Sync or just the alarm system on a modern bluetooth-capable car) that could alert you and/or automatically pull down the electric windows in a panic mode.

Granted, you'd have to be careful to ensure you don't create a solution people form a false sense of security around since the communications or electronics could fail, but it seems like overall this might save some babies.
The short-term scenario is not good, but from the little I know about aquatic biology/chemistry, it might not be as catastrophical as the article pictures it.

Increased CO2 levels should just cause algae/cyanobacteria blooms, which will balance CO2/O2 levels back again and foster primary consumers (solving over-fishing as a bonus). Also, H2CO3 gets buffered by all the Ca/Mg content in the ocean, so I don't think it's even possible for the pH to just drop forever (as in the graph someone posted in one of the comments here).
> excess heat

There is no excess heat, it's measurement error caused by miscalculating how much hydrogen recombines in the cell.

If you build a calorimeter that recombines all hydrogen you find no excess (but it's really hard to do accurately).

Your point regarding anonymity is highly valid, and I appreciate that you bring it up. There is actually a concept I'm rather fond of that seeks to address this, usually referred to as peer-reviewed peer review [1].

Essentially, anonymous experts review publications in much the manner they do now, with no risk of their identities being revealed. A separate set of review-reviewers then rates the publication-reviewers themselves, scoring them on a standardized quantitative scale (1-10) based on the validity of their claims and the depth of their assessment. In this manner, experts collect an "aggregate reviewer rating" of sorts analogous to an h-index [2], call it an R-index.

This R-index can then serve to select accurate reviewers for future publications. A high R-index could also be included as a positive bullet point on a CV, providing some reward for reviewers to put a high degree of effort into their otherwise unrewarded reviewing work.

A few potential flaws are evident: what is one to do if early reviews are scored poorly, and you are no longer able to provide new reviews to increase your R-index? A grace period before scoring could potentially remedy this, ie) an R-index is not assigned until a reviewer has written >10 reviews.

I don't see why you couldn't.

Most large navies run nuclear reactors on board their ships. IIRC, nuclear submarines pull water and use a portion of reactor power to get fresh oxygen.

But I'm also not sure that the reaction is as easy as it sounds. First of all, manufacturing such a ship would likely cause a great deal of greenhouse emissions. Would the ship's benefit offset the pollution it implicitly creates as it is built? How about the pollution generated by its operation? No engine emissions, but when the reactor gets decommissioned it'll have to be buried, likely by diesel-powered equipment and covered in concrete which is manufactured in a dirty process. Tugboats aren't nuclear powered. Re-fuelling apparatuses aren't nuclear-powered. Crew will produce waste, reactor needs to be cooled which introduces unwanted heat to the water, etc etc etc.

Would it even be economically possible to build/operate?

How many ships would be required to make a measurable impact?
I certainly have no trouble understanding why you'd never net a women. No, hint of masoginy there at all.

I find as I've gotten older that it's tempting to write off the next generation as lazy, having bad taste in music, bad sense of style, etc. We all heard our grandparents saying these things to us, yet we don't recognize the annoying, condescending attitude coming from our own mouths as we get older!

That being said, I do think that hard work will almost always take you places, unless you are working "dumb" (as opposed to working smart). You might create something in 6 hours and then sell that idea to google for a billion dollars. The problem comes into play if you actually bank your future on that. Most 6-hour creations, when you look at the history, is the 100th idea or the 100th variation of an idea. So it is somewhat of a false perception that you can create a billion dollar product in an afternoon without putting in any labor before or after.
You could build one ship, but you'd need to build and power millions of them to have any impact.

You'd have to reduce the CO2 resulting from the combustion of coal and oil during the whole industrial era, or maybe a bit less, but it gives you an idea of the magnitude of the task at hand.

Sure, you can look at all the crashes, but you'll still run into exactly the same problems with insufficient sample size because now you're dealing with a rare event, which means the required sample size balloons massively.
There are some drugs that practically can't be used recreationally without major damage to the user. Mostly these are highly addictive and lead to self-neglect and self-destructive behavior, very unlike nicotine and even alcohol.

> No political philosophy is defensible when caricatured to its most extreme positions.

Well, political philosophies that deliberately avoid making everything bright-line ideological concerns are usually pretty flexible (and accordingly easier to defend).

Instead of living life according to a rigid bible, why don't we simply Do The Right Thing™ and then adjust what ends up being broken?

Even if you do find a set of guidelines that seem appropriate now, they may not be appropriate in the future. Even the Revolutionary Commune in Paris wasn't above simply executing the enemies of the revolution, after all.

Salesforce, Amazon, Facebook and Tesla may all be great companies that deserve aggressive valuations based on any number of factors. But if you truly believe that you can determine what a reasonable premium is in a market that is so influenced by central bank action, I tip my hat to you because you're much smarter than many of the people who do this for a living.

> I generally agree with your opinion that equities are near a peak because it is literally impossible for fixed income to be less attractive as an alternative and the Fed is clearly letting us know it's closer to the end of QE than the beginning

Just to be clear: I didn't state any opinion as to whether we're close to a peak or not, and based on what we've seen in the past month, I wouldn't use the word "clearly" in any sentence referencing the Fed's plans to end QE. The Fed is between a rock and a hard place, and while I think certain scenarios are more likely than others, I'll just say this: the only thing that would surprise me is if there are no more surprises.
Hi John Snmez,
I am one of those you talk about: I've left my job at the most awesomest start up in the world to create my company. I believe I've failed, failed to stay in those companies, failed to get value out of my employments, even if my 6-years carrer got me into world class places, even though I was the last guy in the office every day and I never look at HN at work. I admit working hard isn't even enough, one need to work hard and good. But hey, who should guide me into working "good"? I've left, because I didn't learn that where I was.

Hence my question: Could you please provide the criteria to distinguish between slackness/"leaving to pursue an opportunity that you love" and the right thing to do/"leaving to spend the right time to learn more and avoid productivity pressure"?
