Ahh that makes sense then. I thought it was referring to the FISA court orders from the NSA, not orders from all agencies.
My general thought, at least thus far, was/is that the "mainstream" crypto currency market will be a winner-take-all kind of market. But maybe there will indeed be one crypto currency for big transactions and one for small. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. As an insurance policy of sorts, I've acquired my first-ever Dogecoin. I am guessing others will as well. Hmm.
Thanks for the feedback, Tom! I understand how the USD -> UK transfers would help; we're looking into making that an option.

For accounting, we've found that better reporting tools usually solve the need for less frequent transfers. Would one of the options at https://support.stripe.com/questions/reconciling-transfers-w... make this easier on you? Feel free to email me if not so I can understand more about your setup. Every part of Stripe should be incredibly simple, including accounting, and I want to make sure we get this right.

Re support: you're right that the replies have been slower than they should be, though that's getting better. Basically, our userbase grew massively in 2013 and our support hiring didn't keep up with it. I spend all of my time on scaling the team, and we've more than doubled the size of the team in the past couple of months. More hires are on their way. I realize our internal machinations aren't very relevant—you just care that the result is excellent—and I'd like to be clear that we're working on this. You should expect to see significantly faster replies and more ways to get in touch with us over the coming months.

While you should already be seeing improvement in this area, feel free to get in touch with me directly at michael@stripe.com anytime. I'd love to hear any other feedback, and am more than happy to help with whatever questions you have.
This is a wonderful idea!

You probably should not use ads networks that run javascript from random domains. You'll end up serving malware, infecting your users and getting banned by search engines' safe browsing.

I wonder if there is more recent news on this.
Same here. I looked at HP, IBM and Dell but the first two make you go through awful 3rd party vendors that seem stuck in the 90s and while I liked what Dell had to offer it was just too expensive unless you NEED the prosupport in which case it's not a terrible deal.
a boys one would be great too, screw equality let's just get as many kids programming as possible.
I just wanted to highlight a couple of things that might help you:

* Your portfolio can include personal "pet" projects as well as client work. So build something that you enjoy working on, and limit yourself to, say, 3 days. Link to it, get the code up on GitHub.

* Recommendations from your previous employers can still be beneficial to you. Having a testimonial from someone is going to increase the confidence of anyone looking to work with you.

* Go to local networking events. This is a great way to put yourself out there and start talking to people about what you do.

* Related to the above -- practice your elevator pitch. Instead of technology specific stuff -- "I am a Ruby programmer" yawn try being more specific about what you do "I build mobile applications for small businesses" -- this is more likely to pique somebody's interest when you are at a networking event.

* Keep scouring jobs boards. It takes time, but there are a lot of decent jobs out there. If you want to save a bit of time, sign up to lead generation service -- there are a few out there. (I run one at https://freelancedevleads.com if you are interested).

* Enjoy it! Going freelance is an amazing thing, so remember to take a step back every now and again and appreciate what's going on!

Good luck with everything, and please do give me a shout if you need any help (e-mail in my profile).

If you're vaccinated, your body would fight off the HIV virus. You would have an upgraded immune system.

In terms of independently curing AIDS, although the vaccine has therapeutic potential, it mostly likely applies only to those particular individuals living with HIV who have normal immune systems – i.e. those successfully managed on HAART medications. The vaccine may prevent AIDS, but it will not cure AIDS.
I think you need to "brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport" first to install that.

Yes we've developed a vaccine prototype and we are raising funds for the final experiment before we start working with the FDA to file our IND and start working on our phase I clinical trial. In terms of testing on humans, the first thing you do is dose healthy volunteers and withdraw a blood sample to test for an immune response. Then assuming success in phase I, in a phase II trial we will dose high risk healthy volunteers and see if they get HIV over a time interval.
I like and support the intent, but I feel the execution will be a let down in terms of usability.

Other differences: Facebook had MySpace and other early social networks to see what they did wrong. In addition to just the general not-keeping-up-with-the-times, the excessive customization + bored teens = eyes bleeding & having to look at different places on a page to get the same info. Although it's gotten worse it's still cleaner than MySpace was during its heyday.
Also, Facebook has Zuckerburg. Whatever you say about him, he's smart and focused on keeping users, so there's constant tweaks to see what will keep them.

Ok let's say they have some evidence that is sufficient to create reasonable suspicion, but probably insufficient to secure a conviction.

Why would it be wrong for the FBI, under the supervision of a court order, to tap this person's phone to see if he is the killer?

Keep in mind this is not a broad NSA dragnet here. This would be a targeted wiretap driven by probable cause and governed by the federal rules of evidence. The GP said "It would be wonderful if all wiretaps were ruled illegal," and we're exploring that idea.
Just to give people some perspective, this is very cheap to basically unattainable in Berlin today.

Assuming you want to live somewhere with good transit connections and fairly central (say, on the inner side of the Ringbahn[1] or close to it) a 3-room apartment (2 bedrooms+living room, let's say around 60-70 m^2) will likely cost you 500-600 eur not including heat (700+ including heat and utilities) if you don't inherit an old contract (in Germany landlords are limited in how much they can increase rent on a year by year basis for an ongoing contract, so if you get a new apartment you'll probably pay more than the previous tenant as the land lord will use this opportunity to increase your rent).

Overall tho it is still cheap for a western city. I think my expenses dropped almost to half what they were in Tel Aviv.

Mind explaining where it was implied that the window represents a nude female? Just because the post uses some racy humor with the striptease metaphor, doesn't mean it implies any particular sex.

This could just as easily be a man, woman, android or RMS himself stripping (and considering that the whole post is at the backdrop of an RMS quote taken deliberately out of context, I wouldn't be surprised if it was meant to evoke the latter).

The CC-required-for-trial thing is a form of 'negative option billing' and, IMO, it would be best not to do it. Many companies have stopped (a high profile example: 37signals no longer requires credit cards to signup for Basecamp).

Braintree has a good article on it [1]. In that article are some recommendations for when you must do negative option billing - one of which is to send them a warning 5 days before billing.

I've kept running into people doing work at SFI (Geoffrey West recently). Though I know little about the place itself. From what comes out of it, though, I'm awfully impressed.

Having been indoctrinated in economics myself (it got better), your experience doesn't much surprise me. The discipline strikes me as largely bankrupt.
We have a rule at our company, you can leave the office by six pm, you can stay on if you want, but by 8pm you need to be out. We want our guys and gals at their best. So enough sleep and rest, having the time to have a life outside work is a big thing in our company. We always hit deadlines because we have realistic deadlines. We never have crunch mode. Ever. If we spend too many days going home late in a week it's time for us to re evaluate our timeline for whatever it is we're working on.

When I worked at someone else's company I hated these crunch modes we had. And honestly never took part in it. When the time came for me to leave I just get up and leave. People would stare, but honestly it's was not my job to stay for crunch mode because some idiot made impossible promises to the client. After that experience I promised myself that when I had my own company I would never have crunch mode. So far I've stayed true to it.

That is one of the problems I see more and more often the last days:

Applications try to be extra-clever (more clever than their users) and think 2 steps further ... thus doing more than the users said.

So in my opinion, it is not only a privacy problem, but a problem of our "computing-" era. Applications get more and more clever, but in the effect they become extra-stupid, not doing what the user really wants, but doing what the programmer thought (or worse, some weird AI thought) could be right to do now.

I think, the reason is, that somehow applications must more and more show that they are "better" than just simple eMail, or just simple groupware or just a simple (you name it), as it existed before and as thousands exists as open source apps. The way it goes, is adding some "extra benefit" (same as in the food area) to the applications. But sometimes the extra benefit plainly backfires.

That's also the reason, I shiver when I think that the car industry wants cars that more and more take over control. That will become a big mess!

I also will reduce my usage of Google products, because it becomes more and more "you have to do it the Google-way" products and I must say, that e.g. Gmail has worsen it's user experience over time ...
> There is no way to ship $71 Billion of product and get every product and every shipment perfect every time.

Yes, exactly. But they don't explain it to the customer. They ship right-away another packet. Why? Because what they are actually doing is either saying to the courier "You failed to deliver in our crazy-efficient time table, we won't pay you" or to the third party seller "You failed to meet our standards, we have sent a replacement but you'll cover all expenses".

> I've returned a product for not meeting the description, and within 15 minutes of me getting the email saying they'd received the product, credited my card the full amount

Again, as above. They usually do this with marketplace products. What they did behind the courtains is saying to the seller "The product didn't meet customer expectations. We refunded it, you will pay all related expenses".

> everal days later, the description was corrected and the product was again orderable. That violates the "[they] still make nothing to fix them" claim I think.
This was probably the third party seller who fixed the description to avoid paying again.

Note: At this point you say "Wow, they are just pushing sellers for quality" WRONG. Because customers are not always right :) Most of the times they are dead wrong actually (or they are just abusing the fact that they know that Amazon consider them always right). It is rotten ethic to just dump all expenses on sellers without even giving them (most of the times) the chance to reply or to take action.

> I think you're ascribing a mercenary "screw it, it's cheaper to not fix" mentality when an alternative and more likely (IMO) possibility is "look, we can't fix everything, so when we fail our customers, we need to be very good at making it right".
No, i'm saying that they place crazy efficiency requirements and while they understand - as you said - that shit might happen, all they do is dumping all costs of their policy on partners. And partners can't do literally nothing. Why? Because Amazon pays out every 2 weeks, they will just keep the money from your wired amount. Because if you don't comply they just ban. And if they are the only marketplace, you are shut down.

This isn't even considering the amount of stress and pressure that this 0 tolerance policy is causing on their own employees and connected partners employees.

Another point is that you can't make people work 60 hours a week easily like in the USA. That could even make you a serious trouble with the law.

If you want to avoid these situations, then just hire contractors, but that will cost you more. If not, just stay in the USA. Europe doesn't need employers that treat employees as slaves. Employment in Germany is more like a long term two way relation, and regulations are made with that assumption in place.
I figured the early Doom stuff would compile best on some kind of linux, but the readme for the Quake stuff looks like it's talking about Visual Studio which is what started worrying me.

Want to know how to teach kids to use computers? Give them an 8-bit machine from the 80's, and all the books for the thing that you can find.

My kids have an old 8-bit machine .. and they love the thing. They can type in their own BASIC programs from tons of sources, or load up a hundred games and other educational apps from a disk that I know won't contain anything weird or offensive .. on a machine with no access to the Internet. Its a wonderful thing, hearing a 6-year old tell his 4 year old brother how to make a sound eminate with just a few SOUND and PLAY commands ..

Can you specify domain wildcards in Content-Security-Policy script-src? For example:

Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self' *.somedomain.com

Also, while it looks great, usually its very difficult to integrate this header, without breaking existing JS functionality. For example, if you set this header, inline JavaScript will not be executed, this includes added event methods directly on DOM elements. Also eval() and writing setTimeout() and setInterval() like:

window.setInterval("alert('hi')", 10);

Are forbidden from executing as well. Finally, using 3rd party libraries (Mixpanel, Google hosted libraries, Intercom.io) becomes nearly impossible without explicitly whitelisting domains in the header (a huge hassle to maintain).
New-parent-time or "Elternzeit" can be up to 12 months. I believe that the state pays the "Elterngeld", not the employer.

The fact remains that you lose an employee for up to 12 months, and you have to take them back into their previous position afterwards.

Compounding the problem for the employer, is the fact that fathers are also entitled to the same amount of time. Both parents can share 14 months Elternzeit, so both parents cannot take 12 months off each, but they can take 7 months each either together or consecutively.

So the father could technically take 12 months off. Therefore, avoiding hiring women is not a valid strategy (and it shouldn't be either).

Most of us can't really afford to work the idealistic "Not in it for the money" career for long, and every startup has to rethink this mentality at some point in its life. It's better to be realistic early on instead of waiting for a crisis. Paying your founders doesn't mean your business will be fueled by greed. It just means that food and rent costs money.
I bought into Robot Turtles and found it to have been fascinating. Yet, I had real difficulty getting my ten year old nephew to even look at it and I wonder about how well a book, cutesy as it is, will fare.

I am curious as to the format, book or board game, being relevant in this day
