>No identifier is going to be free as in speech - that would defeat the purpose.

I would say that a public key would work well as a free as in speech identifier. It uniquely identifies an address-holder, and the full software necessary to send messages using that key can be obtained and held on one's own. The problem comes when expecting an identifier to be associated with a person, since there you need a trusted authority to relate between names and keys.
The thing is its actually less inflation then Bitcoin or Litecoin at least for the next few years anyway. See the following (taken from reddit thread) which shows the inflation amount over the next 5 year period.

Dogecoin Bitcoin Litecoin
2015	5.26%	10%	33.33%
2016	5%	9.09%	12.5%
2017	4.76%	4.1%	11.11%
2018	4.54%	4%	10%
2019	4.35%	3.85%	9.09%
2020	4.2%	3.7%	4.1%

People need to keep in mind that dogecoin's inflation is set at 10,000 coins per block forever once mined out. As such the inflation amount will reduce each year as more coins exist, unless of course people manage to loose about 5 billion coins a year. The other thing to remember is dogecoin currently has about 5% inflation a week, so anyone dumping it over this news is a bad speculator.

EDIT before someone jumps down my throat I am checking the numbers now and the bitcoin one looks to be slightly off, please take this as close, but not exact please. If you have the exact numbers pass them on and I will update.

Forcing player to farm things already happens even without IAP. It happens because average player wants this. I have no idea why. I suspect it's US cultural thing. Getting better just by putting more hours into crappy job. Cosmetic only IAP are holy grail but I can accept well balanced IAP that makes the game easier. I don't mind that my game is hard. What I don't want is waiting or doing easy thing over and over again. If a game makes me do one of those two things or pay I abandon it.

I don't even mind that such games exist. But I do mind that I can't know if a game is like that before I try it out myself.

Disabling an Apple ID would also disable its use in the online Apple Store and the OS X App Store, though. Seems that you might as well just disable iMessage. It's not like it provides that much added value over text messages.
I don't believe it's not about "not caring". I think it's more about having a finite number of productive brain-cycles per day, and what you spend them on (opportunity cost).

If you spend all day thinking about others, you won't get any math done. If you spend all day thinking about math, you won't be in tune with others. If you can balance things out properly, you can do both.

Sometimes it's necessary to go to one extreme for a long period of time. If you're working on a really hard problem, it might be best to isolate yourself from society for days/weeks/months at a time to figure it out. If a close family member is stricken with a major illness like cancer, it might be best to focus and spend your thoughts, time, and emotions entirely with them.

In reality it's usually a balancing act between different things. But you can understand why it's sometimes necessary to go to extremes.
Let's take another example, even more extreme. Suppose I run a pawn shop. Somebody comes in looking to sell goods that I know are stolen. I buy them from him. This contract is entered by both of us consensually and without coercion. It is also entirely immoral.

People are social creatures. Trying to ignore that and treat everybody as isolated individuals ignores those.
They are set according to how many people want to do the job. (supply) and how much money the employer can make by hiring someone (whence demand).

Not exactly; they are set by what people are willing to pay. Short-term profitability is one factor an employer takes into consideration.

...primary schools are not exactly profitable.

They are not profitable at all, which would mean teachers would not get paid at all under your model of supply and demand. I think what critics are getting at is that even ignoring the effects of sexism when men and women hold the same jobs, wages in male-dominated professions are driven by simplistic short-term profit considerations and discount social benefits (which translate ultimately into long-term profit for everyone). This results in systematic undervaluation of the kinds of work which tends to attract more women.
"Free will" is not black and white.

The lines of free will and accountability are blurred by things like mental illness, addictions, childhood naivety, etc.

I've just started working for a small games startup. At the moment theres 3 of us actually working, (2 artists and me coding) and some other guys who do admin, pay us and sell our product. I'm wondering if theres some online platform that we can use to share game assets and also have a irc-style chatroom, also some kind of forum and email system would be desirable. Something like retroshare would be good but if it was totally online so you could access it from any machine without installing software or needing a big encryption key that would be better.
If its costs money or needs a server thats ok too as I reckon the company would pay for it if its worth it.

I'll happily look down on applied mathematics, but classifying Emmy Noether as only a physicist would be ridiculous, as a large part of her life's work was indeed pure mathematics. I can't imagine the abuse of history needed to assert otherwise.

A lot depends on the rate money is lent at, after all expenses involved have been tacked on. At 10%APR, it's going to be a big help to anyone with a sound business plan (and probably manageable if its actually a consumption loan for a wedding or medical bill). At >100% APR, even a very sound investment runs the risk of becoming unmanageable debt, and some microloans fall into the latter category. Kidisha's rates fall into the former category.

I'm more intrigued by the disruptive prospect of getting foreign funds for people looking to set up SMEs in developing countries to raise people out of poverty by giving them regular employment, which seems to get less attention.

This is why Yahoo and others have been trying to force people to use OAuth instead of collecting passwords for forever. But due to "UX" people often just grab the passwords and forward them to Yahoo to authenticate.
I had this same problem and recently solved it by
- putting my sim back into my old iOS phone.
- reactivating iMessage on the old phone WITH the sim inside of the old phone
- wait to make sure the phone fully registers with iMessage servers
- deactivate iMessage WITH the sim inside the phone

After following these steps, I'm not problem free. I had tried many times before to reactivate/deactivate iMessage, but never with the sim back in the device.

This article is typical of the hateful shit that gets too many HN upvotes. It starts with a headline saying that women don't get paid less than men, but then shows that they do, argues that the gap is less than we think (but still exists) and then argues that it's all the fault of women anyway.

It does have an interesting bit in a tble though:

1. Petroleum Engineering: 87% male
2. Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Sciences and Administration: 48% male
3. Mathematics and Computer Science: 67% male
4. Aerospace Engineering: 88% male
5. Chemical Engineering: 72% male
6. Electrical Engineering: 89% male
7. Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering: 97% male
8. Mechanical Engineering: 90% male
9. Metallurgical Engineering: 83% male
10. Mining and Mineral Engineering: 90% male

Seems like mathematics and computer science are doing reasonably well at recruitin women. Better than anything but pharmacy. That's good.
What I find most fascinating with the evolution of the entire "gender war" social movement, is its complete denial of the scientific foundations of human sexuality. The study of sex is a massive field in evolution, and it is not a young science. Our understanding of sexual dimorphism, intersexual conflict, and behavioral patterns based upon divergent mating strategies is quite sound and cohesive.

The real question is, why do people take these "social scientists" seriously regarding subjects in which they have no expertise? Unfortunately, the answer becomes quite clear as soon as another question is asked:

Qui bono?

P.S. In my opinion, the female vote is now linked to supporting mainstream "Feminism", along with all of its radical and irrational sects. Incumbents will continue to say whatever is necessary to win these votes, even in the face of direct evidence that many of these assertions are baseless. This is the political reality of the USA at present. Facts are irrelevant, votes are supreme.

I'm an Erlang noob, but afail the model is pretty different. I'm imagining a shared-everything system, where immutable values are freely passed around with no copying. Erlang is more of a shared-nothing system. Also, Erlang requires multiple machines to shine, but an OS is more about managing one machine.

I do think message passing have a bright future, though, and my OS will not work at all in a shared-nothing manycore system..
No worries! I hope I was polite.
I usually bill hourly, but sometimes as a day rate, almost always with a retainer that we bill against.

Typically, having a full-time CTO is the "ideal" situation. For a company who can't afford a full-time CTO, however, having a virtual CTO means that they get access wealth of experience that they'd otherwise never be able to afford. A startup who's business is based on technology in any meaningful way absolutely needs someone to fill that role—you can't (or shouldn't) just trust that a run-of-the-mill contractor is going to deliver what you think you're getting, and you probably aren't qualified to determine whether they are or not. This is the main reason outsourced projects end badly. Having a virtual CTO isn't as good as having a technical cofounder, but its a damn sight better than having no technical members on the team at all.

The thing that boggles my mind is that we're over ten years and three major versions in and we can't center stuff reliably or conveniently, images won't scale up to fit (only down...), multi-column text is barely implemented and Google is ripping it out, the box model is borked by default, it's non-trivial to determine the layering of UI elements, and so on.

It's amazing that we get solutions for things that no-one really needs (animated 3d transitions...) while bread and butter stuff still requires rocket science. Back in 2005 I used to joke that 90% of the world's Javascript was just doing button rollovers (probably a conservative estimate) — well, CSS eventually fixed that, kind of — now Javascript is mostly doing similarly idiotic stuff like handling resizing, making things that aren't lists impersonate lists because multi-selects are borked, centering stuff, and trying to reliably hook up event handlers.

All of which were solved problems before the web was born.

I humbly submit an implementation of `eg`. It solves the technical problem
discussed here for a selection of programms (notably git!):

alias eg='man --pager='\''less -p "^[A-Z]* ?EXAMPLES"'\'''

This obviously depends on the quality of the man-pages.

Witness: `eg git pull` (with a recent enough Bash, `eg git-pull` otherwise),
`eg awk`, `eg cat` or even `eg man`.

Ironically, the curl man-page doesn't have a separate Examples section; the
authors prefer to intersperse those throughout the text.

The name was coined here by imdsm[0] -- I had been using `examples` previously.

Good Idea, but couple of problems you should address:

1) Food - this won't work. There are strict laws in place in some countries to prevent people from bringing in food (and with good reason). Research this. Ideally, you'd want food out

2) Trust - even with motivating factors, you're still going to get dodgy people doing dodgy things with the service

3) Customs - here comes hell... If the traveller gets caught for bringing in something very expensive and ends up in jail, whose fault is it?

It is the biggest problem, it's just hard to see. Let's assume iMessage was OSS and freely uninstallable/re-installable on iOS devices. This would mean that an iMessage fork could be created that was able to talk to additional services and not only Apple ones. This would be done quickly as iOS users would want to use iMessage to talk to Android users also. The iMessage client itself would be duplicated for Android quickly as well if it was OSS.

As most users would prefer the Android compatible version, the forked version would likely be installed by most users as most users would want to talk to Android. This problem would then be easily fixed: someone could just submit a pull request for a fix for this issue and create a way to easily stop receiving messages through iMessage. Even better, the author would not need to stop using iMessage - he could keep using it and receiving messages on Android.

Ultimately removing the lock-in at the client level forces the problem to auto correct itself across the board by allowing users the option of migration and developers the option of improvement.
That worked out well for them didn't it? Ever hear of Watergate? And, in this day and age, when media scours the 'net for stories to tell, you honestly think not one news organization anywhere picked up on the video? Everyone ignored it? (As already shown, this story about a coverup is false.)
