While I can understand how this would cause problems for a merchant accepting a continuous cycle of payments, why would someone doing a Kickstarter not withdraw all of the payment to a separate account before shipping any of the orders? To the best of my knowledge, Kickstarter pays out the full amount right away; they don't force you to withdraw it incrementally as you need it.

This isn't a full answer to that question, but I'm pretty sure it's related...

I remember seeing a post by someone asking for advice, his problem being "what can I do to counter people's assumption that <I am typical of people with the same credentials as I have>?" (<>s mark my paraphrasing).

This problem is, in fact, a source of great aggravation to almost everyone I know.

And the best response, which stuck with me, was "nothing; it's an assumption by someone you don't know".

There really are a host of advantages to dealing with other people in person. And if you're thinking of hiring a stranger, you really don't know most of what you want to know. And the connection between workplace and remote worker is necessarily more tenuous.
That's not going to stop the bank from giving you a negative balance and sending you to a collections agency.

Problem with incidents like these is that they keep happening.

This means two things. One, there exists real demand for a secure online wallet, because just like most people are not comfortable storing massive amounts of cash at home, they are not comfortable storing Bitcoin in their paper wallets, brain wallets, etc. There is the convenience factor, as well.

Two, online wallets entail a number of risks, and seem inherently unsafe.

How do you reconcile the two?

Facebook, Google and others offer you something in return for your data: use of their software and servers. You have a choice over whether or not to use these sites.

The NSA gives you nothing in return, other than the blanket reassurance that you are safer. You have no choice but to submit to NSA surveillance, other than limiting your online footprint.

That is still a money argument though, right?

Beyond the "is there necessary infrastructure for alternative project X so the diverted funds aren't wasted" question, the argument for me is: that time and those resources were spent in India, by India, and the result is an increased knowledge and capacity to leverage some highly technical skills and technologies.

You don't add rocket scientists to your workforce by building schools, you do it by adding/increasing the capacity for such work. Being trained to do the work doesn't make the work to do, if that makes sense.

I definitely agree that the question of "why is X needed when the first-order benefits of Y has such a larger impact" is relevant and important, insofar as X is the space program and Y is a collection of social programs.
Show HN: Codeable launches a new website
One of the articles mentioned they already sold some of the tech (but not the branding) to fund the orderly shutdown. Not sure what that involved, maybe just someone wanted the source code.
These "politics" complaints are really blown out of proportion. I've made well-sourced edits to dozens of articles, often anonymously, and never had a single edit reverted or questioned. Yes, it happens, especially on high profile or contentious pages, but by and large everyone gets along just fine.
Maybe I'm missing something, but if they want to gather signatures - why not add a link to the petition so people can actually sign?
Maybe you should re-read the article.. it says 100m in revenue last quarter, of which 27m was from sticker sales (so 9m/month).
So... what makes this stand out enough to be posted on Hacker news? You want to do X amount of programming work and get paid in Bitcoin. Big deal.

I'm not an employer, so maybe I do not have a good perspective on this. But, as a business owner you probably depend on this business financially, perhaps you have family who depends on the business, and perhaps you have other employees who like working there. So it seems the choice is between upsetting one employee, or you can upset all those other people by not having your business run as efficient as possible. So I think your guilt would be multiplied if you upset all those other people.

You didn't state what the personal issue is, I hope it's not something that's protected under discrimination laws.

Do I understand you correctly, you suggest child labor should be legal, because a ban on child labor would limit their freedom, and they had to choose a worse alternative?

If so: Lat me tell you that 1) people are bad at evaluating their alternatives. Thats why we force our children to attend school as well, because our children might underestimate the long term positive effect school education might have for them, and 2) a child in a sweatshop might not have taken the decision to work for itself - it might rather work for the immediate benefit of their family, while taking the long term loss alone.

I liked the point about "Bizarro Edward Snowden" acting on conscience to spy on and take down nsa threats as a sort of lone gunman of information. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those conspiracy theorists who believes there's a piece of bureaucracy somewhere that's a little more formal which serves that purpose, but the idea certainly makes the whole conspiracy a little more approachable.

Where in Japan were you living? I found people in the country to be much more balanced and well-adjusted. But living in Tokyo and expecting to see 'culture shock' may be disappointing because people are not so 'open' about their social lives. A lot of the personal problems are kept away from the public eye until it's too late and they are throwing themselves in front of a train, hanging themselves in a forest or comitting seppuku in their homes. It's classic honne/tatemae--you never saw what was beneath the surface.

I watched Robocop as a boy, a film about a cop that gets "killed" and comes back as a robot. Awesome.

I watched Starship Troopers as a Uni student, a film criticising the military-political attitudes and that prevail in [Western] society. Awesome.

If however I'd watched ST as a child then it too, I imagine, would have merely been a film about soldiers who go in to space to fight bugs.

The inability of a viewer/reader to understand the message being conveyed doesn't mean that a writer should dumb it down. It's grown-up food.

> Gold is not all that useful by itself, so launching a bunch of gold into space would not be throwing wealth away the way launching an expensive and fancy satellite is.

At the point of launch the satellite would be even less valuable (in the use value sense, which is what you're referring to) than a bunch of gold. At least gold could be put to some use (it is a useful metal), while a satellite's only useful purpose is to be launched into and operate in space. It's why a satellite exists, you would lose wealth only if it wasn't launched.

Is anyone else getting tired of seeing all these "git tips", "cheatsheets", and "helpers" on here? While these all may look cool and be flashy, I've never used a single one that's showed up on the front page. Personally, I find the man pages + Google to be good enough. Then again, maybe I'm a curmudgeon.
I wish I didn't have to click on each topic to see it, but as someone just learning to program this is extremely valuable.
As for Google Maps on mobile, some people like to have the map oriented so that "up" is the direction they are facing (i.e. their current direction of travel.) Annoys the hell out of me, too.

On Google Maps, try the single-finger double-tap-and-scroll for zoom without panning and rotation. Kinda nifty.
Given time, they'll mean the same. Like ironic meaning funnily or alot meaning lots of stuff.

Funnily I thought it means a final blow, that breaks a back of something over the knee.
Why use the same Amazon Payments account?
Thanks, done that.
Agreed. You could slightly improve the naive implementation by restricting the north-south rotation so you can't go beyond either pole, so north always stays up. It's not just for the Earth either, I'm now working on a 3D object editor and decided on the naive implementation there as well, because when you're sculpting a chair, it's annoying if up doesn't stay up.
I think the best approach is P2P decentralized and mesh-networked apps running locally, licensed under the Affero GPL. That way there is no profit (or gov't) center which can collect data. And any user with the app can get the source code (per the Affero GPL). Developers can monetize their apps either with paid support/development services or by accepting cash (in lieu of a 'proof of work' by solving hashes) to be let on the mesh networks for their apps.
The map is titled "Prevalence of diagnosed clinical depression".

It seems reasonable to complain that the diagram is confusing when it gives a rate of 4% for the UK, when UK NHS figures give higher rates.

> I don't understand why people in this thread are so keen on trying to hold on to the position that depression in the West is high compared to other places

I don't think that's happened in this particular sub-thread. One reason it happens is that some countries have better diagnosis than others. (Rates may be higher in developing nations, but cases are undiagnosed.)

> To me it's quite self-evident that living in constant fear of being shot, blown up or just starving to death is more depressing than having to go through the agony of standing in traffic an hour before you can go home and eat a warm meal before falling asleep in front of the tv (to just name an example of what I've heard people as reasons on why life in the West is so 'stressing' and 'depressing').

That manages to be fantastically ignorant of developing nations and mental illness.

akulbe has hit a couple of important points. Just because someone thought of something, or even made a thing, doesn't mean they own the idea. If you copy their exact execution, shame on you. Otherwise, go for it. On paper, any social network is the same thing. But we don't use friendster anymore.

IF it seems appropriate to give credit to someone else for inspiration, go for it.

Just remember, the market will determine the winner. Effectively, that's really all that matters.

I will never support this idea. This is kind of thinking is extremely nationalistic: I am entitled to free money because I was born in XYZ.

On top of this, this idea has very weak economics fundamentals, there is no prove that growth comes from redistributing wealth. There is plenty of prove growth comes from innovation and innovation comes from people actually working.

We are in denial. The whole Europe is in denial. We don't realize the only way out of this mess is working more and cutting public spending. Instead we propose the exact opposite.

Strictly speaking, you can pull from any remote branch directly:

git fetch remotename
git merge remotename/master

But you usually just want to rebase your changes onto the latest HEAD:

git fetch remotename
git rebase remotename/master

Merging will place the remote branch's changes after yours, which will make your history a nightmare, especially if you're going to continue working on your branch. Rebasing will place your local branch changes after the latest changes to the main branch.

I work a lot in the EU markets (half German). Here some of the biggest spammers I know

casamundo.de + .nl - auto generating texts and internal, irrelevant links. Outranks every player.

independer.nl/autoverzekering/merken/opel.aspx - generating doorway pages with minimal / none added value

veiligonlinegeldlenen.nl - just check their back link profile and site, and you know enough

meinestadt.de/berlin/ - great start, until you find stuff they really rank on:

meinestadt.de/berlin/dsl - no value add

And many, many more. The German market is competitive but with smart spamming and automated content generation, you can outrank anyone.

I'd not heard of the basic income concept until now so my reaction might be naive, but what benefit could possibly justify the collection and redistribution of a fixed amount of cash to everyone, regardless of their situation?

For example, if 1 person in 10 is thirsty, what benefit derives from giving water to all 10 versus the 1 - isn't that simply a wasteful distribution of resources?

Even in the extreme case where a blind distribution of resource would save a life I cannot see it being superior to a distribution based on actual need.
