> But you can't have the internet without equipment, without servers built by guess who? Corporations. Take that away: no internet.

Now you're the one strawmanning by painting it as corporations existing or not existing.

It's not a binary issue. A corporation is just an organization of people with a specific legal status. There will always be organizations of people.

However, I don't think we need to confer the rights of personhood to a corporation even though they don't have the same responsibilities or vulnerabilities. Similarly, it doesn't need to be the case that corporations should be able to extract value from the commons at the expense of the poor so that the privileged upper-middle class can have the cheapest possible gadgets.

It is definitely possible to draw a better line between individual freedom and the wholesale rape of the environment. For starters, those things aren't represented in GDP, and so it's of no real concern to those in power. What gets measured gets improved.
Copying was and is one of the most fundamental processes in human culture. You have learned to speak by copying! The "intellectual property" propaganda is a relatively new and artificial construct.
Your're right. There's too much competition in that space.

I've not seen a paper directly comparing the two, but if you look at resume correlation studies (comparing attributes of CV to acceptance/rejection rates), resume length generally has a stronger correlation to outcome in paper resume studies than electronic resume studies.

(there may be other factors at play though, as candidates who submit paper resumes are obviously different from candidates who submit electronic resumes; in addition most of the paper resume studies are now historical (pre-2000) so there may also be a time factor involved)

Verhoeven has a history of making completely ridiculous, tasteless movies, with poor scripts, atrocious acting and over the top special effects.

I don't blame people for missing the parody in Starship Troopers, because Verhoeven has consistently made such movies in absolute sincerity throughout his career. I suspect all the praise for Starship Troopers belongs with the writer of the screenplay, and that Verhoeven never had the remotest clue that he was making anything more than another dumb action movie.

I would argue your wallet.dat should't be accessible from the internet all the time to begin with just put it on a old USB stick that you can store in a safe place.

If you're worried it can disappear in a fire you can always make a copy of it put it on another USB stick and give it to your grandma or other trusted person.

If you are paranoid you can always just encrypt the file before saving it on the USB stick.

Treating them like the keys to your house should offer more security than any bank can give you. For one thing it makes it less profitable for any thief to target you.

There's only 1 problem with this. You should always check the computer you're about to load your wallet file into for malicious software.

Although I would argue a live CD with a Linux distro would probably be the best choice in this case. Quickly transfer some funds to your regular use account if you need while keeping the bulk of your funds in a safe place.
You earlier wrote:

> The cost of satellites and rocket launches would tend to disagree. They are not cheap.

The cost of the material of hardware is a miniscule proportion of that compared to the investment of time of engineers etc. involved in the project, and ground based hardware that can be reused for other missions. That engineering time could have been used on something else, sure. But the time spent is not wasted: It increases the experience and thus value of those engineers for the future.

It's already a mission on a shoestring budget, but the bit that they actually threw away never to see again was much, much smaller.
Perhaps not all that different from American health care in general?

While someone is footing the bill, they'll work hard to keep you alive -- and also make sure it involves expensive work like tests and x-ray imaging for maximum billing.

If you have the misfortune of suffering something that is not covered or is not profitable for some reason, they'll figure out a way to kick you out to die elsewhere.

The interests of the corporations that run cruise ships and American hospitals are fundamentally the same.

Science fiction has always had a somewhat uncomfortable relationship with fascism; I'm reminded of the response to Spinrad's "The Iron Dream", where he was trying to point out the fascism inherent in a lot of sci-fi stories:

To make damn sure that even the historically naive and entirely unselfaware reader got the point, I appended a phony critical analysis of Lord of the Swastika, in which the psychopathology of Hitler's saga was spelled out by a tendentious pedant in words of one syllable. Almost everyone got the point... And yet one review appeared in a fanzine that really gave me pause. "This is a rousing adventure story and I really enjoyed it," the gist of it went. "Why did Spinrad have to spoil the fun with all this muck about Hitler?"
Verhoeven said in an interview that he never read the source material, only the screenplay. (sorry, no source online)

Fair enough - he was making a movie, not a book report for Heinlein fans.

Let us take iPhone-carrying anti-corporate protesters. Should we attribute the iPhone to 'Apple Corporation' and shun it, or to the individuals -- designers, engineers, accountants and managers -- who made happen? Corporations are a means of bringing these people together to work in a coordinated manner. I don't think anybody (except communists) says that people with skills working together for financial gain is a bad thing. It's the prevailing model of doing that people are objecting to. It has no safeguards against corruption.
"have occasional one on ones with their reports"

That sounds like "360-degree feedback":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360-degree_feedback

Which seems like a good idea but I've known of places that turned the entire process into a process that sounded like something from the Chinese Cultural Revolution - where all managers were ritually had their characters attacked by everyone surrounding them (usually to the point of tears).
One trick to make the UI feel good and snappy is to make the animations fast. For example in this form the security question help fades in way too slow, making the whole form feel slow and brittle.

I think caching is still a big deal. It massively increases the responsiveness of web applications, and probably also improves access for mobile clients who are on poor data connections. Not to mention the 2/3rds of the world who don't have a fast or stable internet connection.

I think the future is actually more REST. Most REST on the web at the moment only really reaches the first 2 levels of the Richardson Maturity Model, but it's level 3 (the final one) that gives you many of the benefits over alternatives.

The big issue in the future is not enabling the developer to write more 'live' services with things like Meteor, it's enabling computers to figure most of it out themselves. A REST client should be able to consume a REST web service with very little involvement, and few design-time decisions by the developer. It should be able to discover resources, and adapt to API changes by itself. This makes making clients for services much easier, and is far more 'client focused' than Meteor, which at the moment is a bit of a black box for clients that aren't Meteor web pages.

I think additional ideas like Rocket (http://rocket.github.io/) could be integrated into the conventions for a nicer interface to the data, but generally I think REST is a good way to go.
USING DOUBLE MOTIVE MARKETING
Patrick, do you think the target audience for this JS product versus BCC makes a difference? BCC is presumably bought mostly by non-technical people whereas it is fairly likely that a JS library such as this one would be chosen by a developer and presented to management as a solution to their "smooth checkout" requirement? As we've seen in the comments here, developers are way more likely to go for the open-source/free alternative.

I guess the marketing of the JS library would make a real difference: aim for management rather than developers?
Just a day ago, there was a topic of people sharing their earnings. Half of them preferred to stay anonymous for the
same reason.

Why not rant over them, but only this guy who simply pointed out, that HN is not useless for marketing the product.
This is dangerous. The first reaction to such an endeavor is that it is GOOD. Not just good, but GOOD :-)

But also, this is almost the textbook definition of "the thin end of the wedge". I didn't really start thinking about this until I started reading the comments here on HN (awesome!)

So wikipedia should be free. What else should be free? Who should pay? Someone needs to pay. Who should? Let's start grouping content on one side or another.

This is a very, very bad idea.

The answer, of course, is that it should all be free. Internet access should be a basic human right. It should be, it will be, it is only a matter of time.

But until it is, an endeavor like this is subverting net neutrality, disguised as something good, and that is just a terrible idea.
Why would he want to "out" the manager? He already sussed out the situation for himself. He had nothing else to prove to anyone else. He was only there for a short time so probably hadn't made any meaningful friendships with other workers there anyway.

The only thing the OP should have done differently, IMO, is made clear to his colleagues that he handed his notice and that he wasn't being sacked.
"However, I don't think we need to confer the rights of personhood to a corporation even though they don't have the same responsibilities or vulnerabilities. Similarly, it doesn't need to be the case that corporations should be able to extract value from the commons at the expense of the poor so that the privileged upper-middle class can have the cheapest possible gadgets."

Good, I agree with that.

But the issue with cheap gadgets goes both ways. Chinese factories allow people in India and other 3rd world countries to have a cheap (read: affordable) mobile phone.

Yes, they could pay more and give better conditions, the profit gains coming from economies of scale would still be there.
The reason I gave up on Debian was because Debian was always off doing its own thing (changing default locations, changing how config files were put together, and so on). Slackware was really close to what you'd get if you downloaded the original authors' tarballs and did a ./configure; make; make install.

I think this is particularly relevant to servers. I was always fighting with Debian's ideas of how things should be. Hopefully that's changed in the meantime.
> What it doesn't have is any major character questioning the state that they are living under - but then looking around today, sometimes that seems pretty accurate as well.

One scene I liked is when the only person in the film questioning the state, a TV reporter, is saying something like 'maybe this war wouldn't have started if we didn't attack them first, so maybe should we leave them in peace' and is promptly interrupted by zealous marines
The book showed its fascist world in a somewhat flattering light, or at least explaining it as necessary. The film rightly mocked that attitude by showing just how close the US already is.

// Actually I do not understand why they did not think of incest. In the mentioned countries the chance of a young girl getting married to her elder cousin is most of the times almost one third. They had a statistic in England that showed some immigrant groups were 11 times more likely to have a mental defect because of incest. I do not understand why science has to be political correct.
It won't.

As it gets more rare, the value increases (more power / bitcoin).

As it gets more "adult", it's harder to expand bitcoins (more people are mining with specialized hardware), again, value goes up.

The notion that mobile GPUs will soon overtake console GPUs is nonsense, yet i hear it over and over since the iPad2 days. Even the latest iPad Air is still quite far off a Xbox360, they might catch up during the next 2 years but then we have a completely new console generation anyway.

If mobile GPUs will reach a point where they are good enough, thats an entirely different story, but that still leaves you with subpar controls and very casual games.

I also dont think it matters much if the XBox One is a tiny bit slower than the PS4, console exclusive titles will get even more rare in the future and the difference in visual quality between the due is negligible, as in hardly to be seen by the human eye.

The power inherent in not allowing others to know what bad shit you are doing is unfortunately too great. Its always going to be possible to hide a conspiracy. Information asymmetry rules the world around you.

As far as I can work out, the IPO does not "create intrinsic wealth", the value is generated by having a successful startup, and this value is then recognised by the market at the IPO - If there was no success in the company already, there would be no wealth at the IPO. But this could be a semantic difference between "creates" and "recognised".

Just plain P5 (without MMX instructions) is not a reasonbly modern machine. 486 came out in 1989 and Pentium in 1993 so you are still looking at a 20 year old instruction set. I don't think there are many modern Linux distros that are targeted to P5 anymore.

Still, for $70 I might pick one up just to relive my youth and I am sure there will be some things you will be able to run.
That sounds like an outline for a problem that should be happen across all service industries that are run privately/paid by insurance companies, not just healthcare. Do we hear more about it in (American) healthcare simply because it's something the most people interact with or is it noticeably worse there? For the record, I am not American and don't know what it is like to interact personally with US healthcare.

Of course, with the prices these guys are charging, they are certainly going with a budget host.

Since Docker is still in beta, it's not production ready yet anyways. Docker could still go through a lot of changes between now and 1.0.

ETA: Whoops, I got the pricing wrong. It's $5 per instance. I was thinking you would get 1GB of RAM and 20GB of space to run as many containers as you like. That makes it not as cheap as I was originally thinking.

Hetzner surely has gone downhill over the years (quality and pricewise), and support was better 8 years ago, but to say you would not host a production site there is a pretty bold statement.

I don't understand people who are even against sweatshops, do they really want to deprive these areas of the only jobs they do have?

The middle-class westerners have good intentions, sure. Do they really think though, but starving sweatshops to the point of closure, all the staff will walk into well paid work? No, in all probability, the lack of competition and the low budgets will mean they have to fight over even worse jobs, if not... starve.

If you really want to take the moral high-ground, you should only buy from sweat shops, because the more they profit, the more you're contributing to bettering their lives and working conditions.

Buy all the masks you need!
I've had few problems, and I'm far from perfect.

I've edited several articles, and created some. I just went ahead, created an account, and started trying to contribute.

They're more "different" than "weak" nowadays. Most tablets have way more memory and much better SIMD than a 360, with a (now) similarly powerful GPU, but with much lower bandwidth. While the end results don't look as good as on a 360 overall, some aspects do indeed look better.

The one huge difference is the input method, which will always hold tablets back.
