This is interesting because they could potentially avoid the thermal expansion problem that would otherwise sink the hyperloop. Carbon fiber has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion in its axial direction, and you can pair it with a metal to get a net zero expansion structure.

Actually, they are. There are Nokia, Samsung and LG factories in Brazil, as well as a tax-incentive zone in the Amazon region.

Ok, so the issue is not really licensing, if we get honest.

Instead you don't want your next door neighbor to rent out his apartment on a full-time basis and see requirement to obtain a license as a measure that would prevent that from happening.

I do agree it's a valid concern - but I'm not really sure why we need extra laws for this. The guests are either doing something illegal or they are not - in which case, I don't see any problem.
This is probably not a good idea, but what happens if the "badge" on the site is simply a link to a binding contract that forces the company to always fight patent lawsuits in court? No insurance or anything, a simple way of signalling that they will go to court no matter what.

(I believe there's a legal construct where a company can sign a binding contract with itself, overseen by a notary or something like that)

Now we replaced the rational actor the trolls faced, with an irrational one - the company simply can't settle, this is going to court no matter what. Trolls no longer have an incentive to sue such companies, though if they do, the company is in big trouble (though, possibly not forced to shut down).

The problem I have with this, and the newly announced Dark Mail Alliance is that "dark" sounds sexy these days that bookshops are full of "paranormal romance" books (yes this really is an entire section now) but you can't go mainstream with it precisely because of the name. The mail guys should have called themselves the "Privacy Guard Alliance" or something.
There are. I have only used a Lenovo flip tablet/laptop which was ok. The newer model seems to fix some of the things I disliked about it such as the keys on the keyboard recess into the body when flipped over. Really nicely engineered from the videos I have seen. I worry about the hinges though. They are all very new concepts so I want to wait and see how the hinges last out over a year or two of constantly being twisted all the way round.
If you can manage it, cut your expenses to the bone (seriously, be ruthless, you'll appreciate it later) and live on cash for a few months. You'd be surprised with how long you can live happily without most of the things we accept as normal these days.

Just take a sabbatical for a little while. It has always helped me clear my mind and figure out what my priorities are. I once thought I was going to quite programming completely, but a 2 month sabbatical made me realize that I just hated "corporate culture". Now, I freelance and make art about "corporate cargo-cultism".

Use the time to try out things you've always said you wanted to do but never seemed to be able to get around to it. I made t-shirts for a while. I learned there ain't a lot of money in making t-shirts. No point in keeping that dream around, nagging at me in the back of my head. Turned out all I really wanted was a custom wardrobe. Got that, done, next.

I made props for a while. Small, independent film productions. Museums. I didn't plan it, but because of my sabbatical and my lack of plans (The Way of No Way, as Bruce Lee would call it), I was prepared to pursue an opportunity that came my way. It was a ton of fun. There is potential there, but I lack the knowledge on how to develop the contacts necessary to make it a sustainable business.

Basically, find yourself and learn what you like to do and what you don't like to do. They don't teach you that in college. Then, when you're ready to jump back in, don't take the first thing that comes along. Shop around your choices.
Hey saurik, I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed reading all of your "Master Key" analyses. It's fascinating to see an exploit broken down in such detail, and you have a knack for explaining things clearly and succinctly. Thanks for the good reads.
How did you get client side download set up? I'd check the source but it's minified.
Yes, but I use the zonetime database that's built into many OSes to handle that. We make people tell us their timezone, but translate it spatially, not into zones. Points in space are sufficient to do actual UTC-to-local translations while "zones" are not. This is what's happening when you see "America/New_York" as your "time zone".
But there is a very good reason why 12:00 should be midday, it's the mid of the day where the sun is highest in the sky. Actually this fact was enough reason for me to switch my timezone to that of a country on my longitude where there's no DST.
I understand the reason for abolishing DST, but that's not the same as abolishing localtime and timezones all together.

Seems like this could be solved on your end with code. Just add a sprinkle of Javascript to detect what timezone they're in and either show them the UCT time or maybe set up a button saying something like "Suggest Time" where the player who clicks it sees the time for their own timezone but the UCT time is sent across so that the other player sees it converted to their own time.

Perhaps glass fiber is not rigid enough? Also, I think the only reason carbon fiber is so expensive is the manufacturing cost, if you're paying for the machines anyway, perhaps the cost isn't that much higher.
"There are obviously people here who both simultaneously think ACA might not be a positive public policy and are not mindless.... Your constant repetition of the claim that voting for Mitt Romney was somehow an endorsement of a national version of Romneycare when the candidate himself explicitly campaigned on the opposite is, not to put too fine a point on it, silly."

Not so much silly, but an example of revolutionary truth.

We "mindless" opponents of ACA are wedded to bourgeois truth.

You're talking about telecommunications - not the internet. There is a difference. You don't need the internet for telecoms. You don't even need a mobile phone (though in today's Africa, generally a mobile will do a lot more for you). Africa are still fighting to get get decent telecommunications cover. Let alone internet. Telecoms is important, and undoubtedly saves and enriches lives. The internet, yes that too, but to a lesser degree.

Telecoms is available world wide for a price, via satellite. Internet is also available worldwide for a price. Broadband is coming in the next few years, worldwide, for a bigger price. Health revolution worldwide is not even on the horizon.
You're right. It's not just the broken patent system. It's also the present business culture (for lack of a better term), which makes getting away with it seem OK to a lot of otherwise decent people in corporate America.

Hints are really bad idea. I used to add that feature, but after seeing what people enter there I've removed it from all projects.

It is a joke. Worldwide internet access is available today, for a high price, via satellite.

Worldwide disease control is an incredibly hard problem.

Just think that only 20 years ago the internet was not generally used to conduct business. Sure academia, and some international businesses had embraced it, but it was in its infancy. People distributed information via many other means - means which are cheaper than the internet to this day. Everyone saying that the internet or telecoms enables faster and easier transfer of that information is correct - but it's not the only method, and it's certainly not the most efficient way to educate people.
I agree with you that Jobs was never a brilliant engineer, but I don't think Gates was particularly brilliant either and to say Jobs lacked imagination is ludicrous and to say he never invented anything is simply untrue. It may even be true he never invented a circuit (such as the Disk II controller) or never built a prototype himself, but that's not the whole of inventing something.

BTW, it was the Lisa that built upon the Alto (and added quite a bit of very clever ideas that never made it into the Mac).

I wish there was something like Swatch Beats for today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time

> Swatch Internet Time (or beat time) is a decimal time concept introduced in 1998 and marketed by the Swatch corporation as an alternative, decimal measure of time. One of the goals was to simplify the way people in different time zones communicate about time, mostly by eliminating time zones altogether.

> Instead of hours and minutes, the mean solar day is divided up into 1000 parts called ".beats". Each .beat lasts 1 minute and 26.4 seconds. Times are notated as a 3-digit number out of 1000 after midnight. So, @248 would indicate a time 248 .beats after midnight representing 248/1000 of a day, just over 5 hours and 57 minutes.

> There are no time zones in Internet Time; instead, the new time scale of Biel Meantime (BMT) is used, based on Swatch's headquarters in Biel, Switzerland and equivalent to Central European Time, West Africa Time, and UTC+1. Unlike civil time in most European countries, Internet Time does not observe daylight saving time.
I wish you all the best. I've contemplated quitting HN quite a few times as well, I might do it myself, but the community with all its flaws I still enjoy at times. There are a few people who think they're better than most, but that's not just a HN problem, it's a problem everywhere, people on HN are just better at articulating their point and getting upvotes.

This part I couldn't agree more with:

Fluff posts from John Gruber, who rarely says anything at all of value (and I say this as someone who spends most of my time working on iOS projects) are extraordinarily popular because it fits within the community’s ideology

John Gruber could literally publish a blog post with no content and just a title and it would hit the front-page of Hacker News and people would be commenting about how they get his metaphor and try connecting it to a new Apple gadget or sales report... Very overrated.

You missed one other point: the constant homepage submissions about Google Go. I've used it a couple of times myself and I think it's a great language, but the amount of posts about it you see on this site hitting the homepage are ridiculous. How much praise can you sing for something without repeating yourself? The same thing seems to be happening with Google's AngularJS.

I recently saw a submission for a Sublime Text editor clone someone wrote and open sourced. The author had disabled the ability to post an issue on the Github repo and people took the author to school and back in the comments section about it. The author clearly stated if you want to contribute, send me a pull request because I don't have time to fix issues. This guy open sourced some amazing code (written in Go of all languages) and instead of saying thank you, a few decided to laud the author with negativity.

Hacker News has flaws, I think over time they will work themselves out and the community will tame itself down (I hope), for the moment I'll hold on and enjoy the ride. I love nothing more than to take top commenters oozing negativity to town. Being able to tag and filter submissions would be amazing, I would immediately remove all Go and AngularJS posts if I could. Maybe someone should create a Chrome extension that does it? Take it one step further and add in some basic sentiment analysis to hide any negative comments on submissions.

Given how readily good search and navigation exist, I'd much prefer GNU-style awk man pages to BSD-style awk man pages. 15 years ago I taught myself the AWK programming language using "man awk" on a Red Hat Linux box with no network connection. Had the manual been merely a listing of available switches, that wouldn't have been possible.

I'd actually prefer it if more languages provided man pages with detailed language as opposed to random assortments of HTML posing as documentation. Always liked perl precisely due to this.

This argument "don't build it yourself - you're doing it wrong" is starting to wear off.

Why should I trust the third party library was built by programmers that knew better? What do they know that I don't?

If I ever need to build something that people say others are better at - with no argument backing - I will just ignore them (I'll do due research as in other projects though).
Furthermore the "they started" it argument is ridiculous. It doesn't matter who started it! It's also factually incorrect.
Nice job on the interview Zach. You looked relaxed and like you were having fun. I think the trick with interviewing with Colbert is to sit back and let him be the funny guy.

It reminds me of my experiences talking about Rejection Therapy[1] on TV. With Dragons' Den, I was wound up tight as a clock and I think it had a lot to do with why I had my ass kicked. My appearance on the Jeff Probst Show went much smoother.

I'll give you a first hand experience though, I've lived for 5 years in Peru. There, students told me that Google and the internet has literally changed their life. Before they had to buy expensive books, cross the city or travel to get that book and be able to do copies. Now they just go to the net cafe next door, search on google, get their answer, print it and they're done. For less than half a dollar. A gain in time, money and information and a gain in what these newly educated students will bring to society. I can't even begin to imagine the impact that http://duolingo.com and http://khanacademy.org will have on humanity and the poorest.
