Now that's what I call a pivot :) More seriously, I was just trying to point out a source of confusion.

In any case, I'd love to hear more about the enterprise space as it's something I'm interested in but have little visibility into. Elsewhere you mention 1200 execs (annually) tell you what they think of new ideas. Can you share any of the insights or problems?

I bet there are lots of nascent startups/ideas that may not realise they have an enterprise offering because they're not fully aware of the problems companies have. I'm working on turing some systems research work into a spinout and only recently have I begun to understand how valuable it could be to the enterprise [1]. This is partly because a lot of the tech stuff I see online is around consumer companies (my fault, I know - but I'm working on it).

> Nationalism and producing a product within in a certain region/state/country is not the same, no matter how much you want it to be.

Not only is it the same, it is the definition of Nationalism. The company would choose a US manufacturer over a competitor in a foreign country, even if a foreign manufacturer made a better product at a better price and was a better employer. This is no different than choosing your supplier by race, religion or gender.

I agree however on the anti-globalization movement in Germany, it's not nationalism but economic ignorance with a sprinkling of Marxism.

Really? So if a dissident decides to stop dissenting due to increased government pressure, we should lose respect to all the work he did previously? Just because he was not courageous enough to continue, someone, who didn't have the courage in the first place, will lose respect to him? Moral hypocrisy 101.

I develop static websites in vagrant boxes. Why? I don't want to have any spillover from my development env to the host env. I have no webserver running on the host env, only the system ruby installed, no homebrew, no php other than what came with the box, no database, nothing. Everything I do goes into a containerized env that I can just delete when I'm done. No version conflicts between multiple versions of the same database, no leftovers after cleanup. Once you started working with vagrant boxes and have an appropriate workflow it's just less hassle to spin up a box than not.

"Think of it as the Egyptian hieroglyphs" - and we too use ideograms every day. %, &, +, $ etc. What else are they? "we've lost the link to the original concept" - which concept? And why (I mean, what indicates that this actually happened)? "The metaphors of icons don't work" - again, since when? Why? What substantiates this claim? "A iOS7 example, look at the browser icons at the bottom of the screen, a square with an arrow on top, two squares next to each other and two squares on top of each other..." - I agree and I'm sure there are countless examples of poorly designed icons, but it doesn't invalidate the very concept of ideograms. Just like the existence of milions of incomprehensible error messages doesn't really undermine the value of an error message in itself :) It's just poor execution of an otherwise valuable method of communication
Looks cool but I can't find any information on the license or other usage conditions. I would love to use these in an open source project.
> Think of it as the Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Icons are not hieroglyphs, in fact the idea behind icons is the opposite. Icons trancend language and present a concept across language barriers. If you need to go to the bathroom in russia you will know which door to take thanks to an icon.

This is just doing shit so you can call yourself something. I didn't have a bed or pillow for 3 months. It was uncomfortable and although I got used to it I woke up with neck/back pain every morning. It's a stupid thing to do on purpose.

As for not using soap - please start again. I don't want to be shaking your hand after you've been to the bathroom. And how about in hospitals? Do you make an exception to wash your hands with the provided soap before entering a ward?

Also, getting rid of soap, socks, and a bed does not give you more time.

Although I must say, advice like this:

if your goal was to go product free (as in chemical free) you can always try Water Only but instead of baking soda you can try doing the egg 'shampoo'. You take one egg, one tea spoon of honey and one tea spoon of extra vigrin olive oil; mix that up very well as in whip it and then add few drops of lemon or lime juice. (if you have dark hair I would suggest heating up the oil with honey in the microwave for 30 seconds. Just make sure it cools off before you add it to the egg).

is not exactly my cup of tea :)

I think the concept of "e-minimalism" is great.

I think it is useful to recognize that "stuff" is a system, and as a user, the system of "stuff" requires some maintenance, is at risk of failure (by theft, loss or damage), though despite the drawbacks does provide benefits that make life better. My water filter makes water taste better; my sweet chair is very comfortable. My car drives me to the beach to surf regularly. Some stuff requires greater scrutiny -- the high maintenance demanded by the car in terms of time and money indicates that I would be wise to carefully consider if the benefits outweigh the costs.

Technology systems can be measured similarly -- do the costs (time, money, cognitive load, opportunity cost, presently and in the future), outweigh the benefits. Making that measurement is difficult, and our minds are not exactly rational actors when it comes to deciding to adopt technology -- we are easily swayed by social factors, and it is hard to measure the future cognitive load and opportunity cost of a technology system. Being an "e-minimalist" could be a useful heuristic.

Since benefits of "stuff" and systems can vary subjectively, I think minimalism (as a philosophy or hobby) is a subset of a larger identity question from the individual -- "what is my relationship to the systems at play in my life?" Attempting to optimize that relationship usually leads to more happiness than ignoring the question.

For some people, minimalism for "stuff" is a solid optimization. E-minimalism makes lots of sense, too.

I'm curious what made you decide on rollbar out of those options?
I never held that there was a right or wrong answer, however the purpose of a poll is to infer value to the people reading it (otherwise the OP might as well write it on a piece of paper and put it in a drawer).

The definition of "like" the verb is "To find agreeable, enjoyable, satisfactory". The key word in that definition is find. How can someone "like" (in the true meaning of the word) something, or for that matter "dislike" something, if they have never "found" (/used) that something in the first place.

Therefore it is incorrect to say that you personally like or dislike something if you have not had direct exposure to that something. At most it would be correct to say that others in your peer/social group like or dislike something.
Sure, that might be why they avoided it.

Since I still think it's an interesting to have it for comparison, I added it along with Hong Kong, taking my data from Wikipedia (respectively 17 and 5 million users, and 76% and 72% penetration):

Well, you'll reach your destination quickly and it's bad for your environment.

In seriousness, the stigmatization of medicating anxiety and depression is very unhealthy. While pills shouldn't be the first or only option, implying someone is weak for using meds is plain wrongheaded.

"No son, I'm not going to give you painkillers while you pass these gallstones. You see, that would change your state of mind and make you a different person. Plus, if you fight through the agony it'll make you a better human. It's natural, y'see."
My statement is absolutely relevant to yours. Also, see my comment above. The technical definition of "like" requires someone to have "found" (/used in this context) the thing that they are "liking". Therefore it is incorrect to say you actually dislike something from a position of 0 exposure to it.

This may seem like petty semantics however it is no worse than preaching to others from a position of ignorance.
All my close friends, who regularly take pictures where I'm in, know not to put me on Facebook and most certainly never, ever to tag me. I tell them this from time to time. I guess they find that funny but they also respect it.

Whenever someone new photographs me or my children and it's in a private setting, I tell them to not post it on Facebook and also explain why. They generally understand. I don't care they think I'm weird and I guess I can't prevent it when they do put it on Facebook. But I communicate my wishes all the time and generally people respond very well.

There's a very big distinction between my likeliness in society, and private photos taken in my living room though.

Would that not go against his claim that this all saves him time. Cooking a meal at home would be much less time consuming than having to go to a restaurant and sit doing nothing while they cook your food for every meal.

20 Reasons Why Every Wealth Manager Should Be Using IMiX
I agree. They're open source at the moment, and they've been my icon set of choice for some time - I use them in my open source RSS reader, django-yarr, for example. In fact I came to the comments to complain about how there is already an icon set with that name, before I realised it's the same guy.

I understand why they're going for commercial licensing on top of the kickstarter, but it's a real shame if the new icons never make it into the open source project. I'm more than happy to pay for them if I'm using them commercially, but it would have been good if one of their stretch goals had been setting a chunk of money aside to feed the new icons back into the open source version for people to use in their projects.

Reality Gap Exists With Big Data Initiatives – Infographic
I deleted, really really deleted my Facebook account a couple of years ago and always suspected they kept it alive. I am in Europe, so Facebook falls under the EU privacy directives. Recently I requested them to hand over all information they have on file about me. This was done through official channels, also involving the Data Protection Commissioner. The response was they had nothing about me on file. It's possible that they even lied about this, but it seems unlikely at this point. So at least for Europeans it seems you can really have your information purged.

The general rule is: the larger, older, and more politicized the agency is, the more awful the technology development.

So NSA, which is fairly young, stays out of the political eye (until recently), and small? They do some really cool stuff. But the older, more controversial agencies, covering things like immigration, defense, taxes, health, and so on? Not good.
I feel like there is something bigger in play. All the various from state access to "private" communications, social networks becoming more public and all the different miscellaneous privacy issues are all different aspects or consequences of the Thing.

The move towards complete availability of all digital information seems to be a force of history. Privacy advocates are beginning to sound like copyright advocates, demanding that the universe continue providing for them in the manner to which they have grown accustomed.

Like copyright/IP, privacy is more about use getting used to (and in some cases legislating) how things happen to be, not predesigned or derived from first principle rules or morality. If 99% of your existence occurs within a community of 150 people, very little is private. When you live in a 20th center city, you get a lot of anonymity. You can keep private life (even several of these) separate from your professional life. etc. Those were just inevitable consequences of how those societies were structured.

The internet was at first an anonymous place. Pre-2000 most people seemed to share the feeling that if their real name found its way to the world wide web, serial killers would come. Then 2000-2005 people started keeping online diaries, online photo libraries, online lots of personal information. Facebook catalyzed this process with a semi private system of friends that matched what people were used to in their normal lives.

The force of history that is 'all your data available to everyone everywhere' feels unstoppable. Data is data. It doesn't care if it's an email, SMS, baby photo or GPS log. It doesn't get deleted.

Maybe "Information wants to be free" was an understatement.

I feel very awkward trying to describe this, a clear sign that I don't understand it. I wish pg Joel Spolsky, Chris Anderson (or ideally, Douglas Adams - I really wish we still had him) or someone else who's good at this sort of abstract thing would write a good piece on it.
