> Why does Apple need to own the company behind that IP in order to win? If Nintendo releases the games for iOS, Apple gets a cut anyhow.

That seems exceedingly unlikely without Apple doing something equivalent to a takeover. Nintendo does not release its games outside of its platforms. Nintendo wants the 3DS to be your mobile gaming platform, not iOS.
That wasn't necessarily an underestimation of how fast technological progress can happen. It was more of an economic misestimation.

> How many examples can you come up with?

A bug caused by prettying the code, which was secure from upstream, which is in an important, widely used, supposedly secure bit of code isn't a good enough example?

Many Linuxes used to ship with lots of services running. That lead to many rooted boxes being used to deliver spam. Open Source fixed the problem, but only after many millions of emails had been delivered.

Someone somewhere probably has a nice chart of all the Red Hat boxes in SKorea in the late 1990s early 2000s.

Again, this isn't to suggest that MS or Apple are more secure. For years anyone putting an MS server onto the Internet ran the risk of very quick exploitation.
An unfortunate turn of phrase, but it's not about pacifist white washing... his release from prison was into a society where apartheid had yet to be removed and he advocated that in many circumstances people need to use force to defend themselves against oppression for most of his life. The point is that it takes a certain obtuseness to focus on that when his crowning achievement was avoiding a bloodbath on transition away from South Africa, choosing instead a path of peace and reconciliation.

Also your flame-baiting attack on liberals is very confused - the key criticism by conservatives against liberals on this topic, for years, was their support for a terrorist who advocated violence, thereby themselves supporting violence. The truth is nuanced, but not to such a degree that it's incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Let us converse is secret tongue of assembly, lest those higher language ruffians understand us. While article is somewhat interesting, I feel like it fails to emphasize important idea. Secret language is just one part of clan identity. Humans evolved on a planet where being alone is deadly, safety in numbers. We instinctively try to belong to a group. However hunting-gatherer groups needed to stay mobile, so until advent of agriculture no large settlements occurred. When looked at from this angle, secret language is just a sign of belonging to a particular `clan` in the jungle of larger society.

So to summarize one of the reasons people develop secret tongues is to establish identity of the clan. And one of the reasons people establish clans is because we evolutionary predisposed to. This is observed quite distinctly in aggressive/highly competitive environments such as prisons/schools/gangs.

I have no idea what it means for a representative democracy to "not oppose" something but rather "react to pressures". Whatever that pressure was, it caused the Republican-controlled Senate to override the veto of a Republican President. If it's helpful for you, here's the law, which not only opposed apartheid but also banned imports from the South African state and cut off aid; it also stated the sense of Congress that the US should meet with... wait for it... Nelson Mandela.

> As an example, changing values in bootstrap\variables.less will propagate to all the other dependent less stylesheets.

You're better off actually creating a new stylesheet (or sheets) and importing only the Bootstrap LESS files you want. As long as your file is last in the import list, anything you override (variables) will take precedence. This will also make your upgrade path smoother, as the upgrade won't overwrite any of your mods.

i.e.

@import "bower_components/bootstrap/less/variables.less";
@import "bower_components/bootstrap/less/mixins.less";

// Rest of Bootstrap here

@import "myappstylesheet.less";

For those not familiar with Tomahawk, it has an api to locate songs across multiple services. Afaik, it only offers a native music library; it's lacking a way to manage a personal library online.

The word "struggle" occurs 16 times in that speech, and while it is not "pacifist", it is not "guerilla" either. The word covers every means of bringing about the end of Apartheid and start of democracy, from campaigning for votes through negotiations and yes, "Armed struggle". e.g. "mass marches and other forms of struggle" It refers to every means of bringing about the right ends.

There's a paragraph near the end starting "Our struggle has reached a decisive moment...". I read it as "keep your guns, they're what's keeping those guys at the negotiating table.". He was a smart politician, neither dogmatically for violence ... or dogmatically against it.

It is an interesting observation. I have found that scripted languages are unreliable as a function of loadable modules (which is to say they depend on some module that gets loaded, that at some point changed, and then broke the script). C has that problem too with shared libraries but there are generally fail stop policies in place (if you can't get the version you were linked against exit rather than try to valiantly proceed)

What is perhaps most important is that software does not "rot" in the sense of building materials becoming weaker after exposure to the elements. But it does fair poorly against changes in things it assumes to be true. Some languages, like Ada or Mesa, which have very detailed configuration specifications, achieve high reliability at the cost of high configuration specificity. That makes them brittle against even modest changes in their environment.

The art is striking the balance. Take something like thttpd, 20 year old code still compiles, still does exactly what it always did (simple HTTP web server) very reliable. But the barest minimum of reliance on the ambient environment it runs in.
Shouldn't the scrappy seed stage startup be hitting up Safeway and buying bread and cold cuts, pb&j, or...ramen, if it wants to be "scrappy"?

Any language that you are comfortable with like the new high level languages(ruby or python) but it also depends on the kind of need you have for example if you are going to be a kernel developer "C" is your thing, if you are going to be a web developer "Ruby on rails, Php, java"; if you are going for software field maybe java and c++ would help; It all depends on your need so decide wisely.

He has come to represent forgiveness and peace over time by learning from his past mistakes. No one is saying he never fought fire with fire. It is untrue to say his life "was a symbol of non-peaceful resistance and the progress that it can bring." Especially because his greater achievements were made through peace and reconciliations.

No one's perfect but it's unreasonable to only focus on the negative.

IMHO those two issues are orthogonal.

You could achieve the same goal if they let you reactivate the account and then retrieve your data (either with this tool or with IMAP).

I suspect that the tool works by taking the data from the same storage that is used for active accounts. So, assuming that your data is still there, they would have two options: a) write another tool that exports data from some backup or b) first restore the data and then export it.

I'm not aware of any LESS equivalents (but then again, I do very little LESS work).

It may be heresy, but I haven't had any issues using both preprocessors in a single project, so I'll often just use LESS for Bootstrap-related stuff and SCSS for everything else.
He may well have been seen as a terrorist by Our Great Leaders, however, he could also count on a lot of support from people all around the world that wanted an end to Apartheid. This support was wide ranging - words, weapons, money and organisational support.

Currently we are in a struggle against totalitarianism, the privatised war machine and the outsourced surveillance state. This enemy has global reach and the only countries that are not aligned with it are places like Cuba. What countries do we have outside our borders to go to for practical help from the system of oppression we find ourselves in? What external support can we get?

Nelson Mandela came out of retirement to tell the likes of Bush and Blair exactly what he thought of them. This was not the plan, he wanted to enjoy time with his grand children rather than have to continue working. He was not best pleased with general stewardship of life on planet earth. I doubt that he had a complete grasp of how insidious the current situation is but I am sure he had the general idea. It is sad that he should be departing from the world when things are going 'Dark Ages' rather than 'Enlightenment'.
There's plenty of evidence to suggest that, in the sense of things we would be more likely to see if it were the case than if it weren't. Many things from the Snowden docs; parallel construction; statements of congresspeople and courts that they were unaware or misinformed; Clapper flat out lying to Congress and not facing any charges... Nevertheless, I actually don't think it is the case that we are currently in that position; I am just nowhere near as confident of that as I would prefer to be.

It's a good example. Can you come up with more? Because, you know, it's just one instance of a problem. It says nothing on how pervasive it is.

I wish people would give up New Year's resolutions... and not as a New Year's resolution. They're little more than an excuse to fail: People who are going to do something do it. People who aren't are still going to talk about it. There's a morbid example here that I don't need to explicitly state.

If you're doing something you consider bad, or aren't doing something you want to do, then start (or stop) NOW. Don't wait for 2014. January 1 is not some magic date. Ever have a friend who's going to start that diet next month? Guess what a New Year's resolution is? It's not a commitment. It's an excuse not to do something now.

I'm just as guilty as anyone of doing this, but let's not pretend "what I'm going to do in 2014" isn't utterly meaningless unless it's something you are and have been working towards that can't happen until 2014 because it's just that damn hard.
Thanks for the writeup! I've done a couple of Startup Weekends and never thought about doing a subscription service, especially not for something I only ever eat on road trips.

Since you plan to keep the subscriptions going, I'm curious about how you plan to follow up with this project:

* do you plan on returning profits to the team?

* if so, is it evenly divided, or are individual sales tracked to the person that closed them? The latter could be the beginning of an affiliate system.

* also, would each team member get the full profit of each sale, or would you take a cut of their sales? The margins might be thin but could be interesting for the work-at-home types.

* have you learned more about sales or products during this time? i.e. did this fire you up to do sales for other existing products, or did it give you ideas for different subscription-based businesses? I can see product ideas for this - e.g. a "healthy pack" kind of offering, where you choose from jerky, nuts, dried fruit, and other Paleo-friendly road trip food, which you upsell to existing customers and hopefully make the offering more enticing to new ones - but don't see how the sales lessons scale if you tap out your friend network within a single weekend, unless you do the Amway kind of thing and just keep finding new sales people that sell to their friends.

* what's your long term plan? Do you plan on putting in more work into this?

I can think of several scenarios for the last point: to do no work and just let it ride as free money while you work on other projects; to do occasional weekend sprints of work with a team; to do little bits of work by yourself every day, like 30 minutes each morning.

I'd personally be interested in trying to learn other aspects of business that could make it grow, especially content marketing. I.e. would a blog about jerky be worth it in terms of sales? What kind of writing could you come up with that felt authentic? What kind of a time sink is it? Would it build a returning audience or be linkbait for Google? Would random people from adwords convert at all? Could you convert office managers that stock the office kitchen, or do they all use other services like Amazon? Etc.
I think you mean P = NP. And if a certain kind of proof of P = NP is found then yes, it would actually mean that you can break any encryption that exists today. That's why it lends itself so nicely to TV drama.
It's a fact that Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and PW Botha all called him a terrorist.

Is a bit like being called a wanker by Onan.

edit - pekk, it won't let me reply at the moment, but in answer to your comment, Thatcher was no idiot by any stretch of the imagination, but she did send the SAS to train Pol-Pot led forces, while Reagan put up the money, so I think she definitely had more than a little blood on her hands. - http://www.newstatesman.com/node/137397
SCORM's a little different - it's a standard for "content objects" (think videos, quizzes, chunks of text) that should enable to content to be plugged into a variety of learning management systems. The "next generation" of SCORM is the Tin Can API/xAPI (http://tincanapi.com/). These standards were sponsored by the Department of Defense & haven't seen adoption in K-12 (that I'm aware of).

True, but there is no way to prove it's secure. It's not about convincing myself or anyone else - it's about proof.

b) turn down clients until they can accommodate.
It is true that the way from JS to C to JS is an awkward recommendation.

When I was in Syria a few years ago we would have to talk in elaborate metaphors when discussing anything political (especially if it was in a negative tone). I suspect other HNers who have lived in closed states understand all too well how pervasive secret languages are in certain environments.

Surpsingly enough, ive noticed myself begining to rehash certain behaviours when talking to people in America or Europe because of an innate sense that the conversation is not private anything I say could be misconstrued under the appropriate conditions.

Its a real shame too because these environments which force us to calculate what we say often stifle innovation and creativity to the detriment of society.
