Hey dude, don't listen to these people.

The vast, VAST majority of people in San Francisco and the rest of the United States deal with emergency responders with no problems whatsoever.

You're just experiencing a bunch of whiny, self-entitled assholes who're making more money than their underdeveloped brains know how to deal with and now think that they literally shit gold bricks.

This is causing WAY more problems in San Francisco than the SFPD.

If there's going to be any sort of protests in SF it is going to be against these asshats, not the SFPD, mark my words.
Or you make sure that the Finder is the active application and you press Command-K (Go > Connect to Server). In the window that pops up, you type

vnc://<address>

This will work both with macs and their special authentication and with any other VNC server (using just a password).

Other protocols that work are afp:// (apple file sharing), smb:// (windows file sharing), http:// (webdav), https:// (webdav), ftp:// (ftp)
Look people. In the world we live in in 2014, financial regulation is low and headed downwards. Scams are high and rising. Even in traditional banking industries denominated in dollars, there is no appetite from government (I will not here go into the reasons) for punishing wrongdoers. Accordingly, people are behaving rationally and ramping up their cheating and fraud.

In non-traditional industries not denominated in dollars, there is even less appetite for punishing cheaters and scammers.

Every bitcoin business is a fraud. Every one. There is no one who is planning to do anything except steal as much money as fast as they can, and then use the stolen funds to pay some lawyers to "negotiate" if the government shows any interest at all, which is unlikely. Just tell your lawyer to claim "we were hacked, we're a victim too". No one can prove that isn't true.

For anyone who is ethically-challenged, this is a great business to get into.

Watching internet libertarians run smack into an entire industry that seems specifically designed to liberate them from their life savings - with no recourse - is fucking hilarious.

There are going to be a lot more people wondering where their tulip-wealth went. The answer - safely into someone else's swiss bank account - is not going to please them.

Anyone want to start a betting pool on when the first bitcoin-related death will be? The first bitcoin-bankrupt person assaulting a scammer, or something like that?
One that values support from companies like Oracle, is a good first approximation.
Not at all. A Poker Site didn't make any claims of guaranteed returns on your 'investment.' They probably considered player deposits to become virtual Poker Dollars, that have no legal value.

Dude, I'm lot listening to any congressmen at all. I'm going with my gut on this one.

I've got some pretty well-known friends who have written volumes about the NSA. They are happy to see these disclosures. I'm happy to see our discussion finally informed with some actual examples of over-reach.

That said, I'm not going to crown Snowden a hero. I don't believe he's innocent by a mile. His intentions were far from honorable and more akin to self-aggrandizement than honest debate about the role of government in our communications privacy.

Some people choose to live in SF because they prefer city life. But that's another thing that tech-company muscle can help solve: the peninsula doesn't have to be sterile.

I'm not talking about a few handshakes. I'm talking about them using their substantial financial and political power to influence the city and regional governments on the peninsula. If you think billion-dollar companies can't influence the areas where they are based, you haven't been paying any attention to local US politics.

This one was proposed because a competitor was doing the exact same thing, and we knew from someone inside that it boosted registration by ~25%. Seems quite a lot of people don't really think, "Why did Facebook appear?".

>>when pypy devs tried getting python versions not relying on cpython tricks (which didn't bench well for pypy)<<

NOT TRUE.

Programs optimized for PyPy were accepted and shown alongside programs written for CPython. Joe LaFata contributed excellent PyPy pi-digits, spectral-norm, mandelbrot programs and they were all accepted.

>>banning multiple implementations<<

NOT TRUE.

Measurements for both JRuby and CRuby are shown.

Like everyone else, I'm sitting on my hands waiting for someone else to make and publish all the other program measurements.

The implementation pick ranges from the standards that everyone uses to the experimental that nobody but the language developer uses.
Indeed, I think we're about to see some very interesting times in the next year or so, with regard to GUI/Windowing systems in the Linux world.

Wayland has been a long time coming, and I do hope that's because those working on it are really shooting to get things right. Mir is interesting, and it looks like it will be able to do some things that Wayland/Weston can't, or would require some difficult hacks or even spec changes to make work. I don't know if Mir would be better than Wayland for me, but if you ignore all the FUD from both sides, I think the bottom line is that Mir is better for Canonical's plans unless or until Wayland/Weston can be changed to accommodate their needs.

I personally have no positive or negative opinion on Mir vs. Wayland, but I hope that at least one truly delivers on their potential and shows a clear improvement over our old trusty ;) X11/Xorg.
To be fair, Voyager completely destroyed its own credibility as an interesting story to establish the post-scarcity angle. If you count all the shuttles and torpedoes they lost throughout the series and the continual damage and repair to the ship, it's obvious that one tiny ship must somehow have the capability to produce nearly unlimited output, because otherwise they wouldn't have a ship left after seven years.

> "Saying something's bullshit and anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot|hypocrite|moron|asshole is."

The truth of that statement still depends on what the issue is. There are some beliefs you really do have to be stupid or disingenuous to espouse.
These stories, even if they are exceptions tell me:

1) The rate at which these things happen is sufficiently high that I see 20 or 30 of these stories a year without looking for them. My reaction is now "one more of these".

2) The system is very bad at dealing with these things even if they are exceptions. I'm ok with that when the system is "Google's tech support for free products" and not ok when it's civil rights.

3) Even if the arrest itself is an exception the story that comes after (filthy cell full of people, verbal and racial abuse, etc) is incredibly consistent.

A lot of people in San Francisco feel the same way. It's not clear to me why Mountain View isn't expected to increase density but San Francisco is. There's certainly a lot more room on the peninsula.
A (black) friend told me this story.

Many many years ago, him and his friends (a bunch of black teenage boys) went to Walmart. Two of his friends stole a couple of packs of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. They got caught, and the police were called and serious criminal charges were brought against them. My friend wasn't charged as he didn't do anything wrong, but signed a paper saying he wouldn't go into Walmart ever again.

They did shoplift and commit a crime, but I can't help but think if it was some middle class white kids taking Yu-Gi-Oh! cards they would have just called their parents to come pick them up.

Yes, promises are great. It would be nice to have a function on a promise that returns a regular callback which you can pass to functions that only know about callbacks.

Also, if you are using promises for getter functions, you'll have to store those promises somewhere, so that next time you don't load them again. Basically "getting" a resource involves caching, promises, and maybe even throttling. So its ideal implementation is not really just a promise.

Assuming $60k for a surrogate then the "winning bid" for not having the baby herself would be around $30k.

Also, what is the value to her to experience the process of having a baby? Ubber-rich women still have their own babies, so there would appear to be a value in the experience.
Sorry, I'm not interested in jumping through your theoretical hoops. As a non-Comcast user who does need the internet, that doesn't seem like an interesting game to me.

Well the alternative is that GOG is lying, since one of their verified employees said this in the linked thread.
If you define an enterprise shop to mean a company that doesn't use software like ubuntu-server, congratulations, you are right, but you have also made a completely meaningless observation.
We offer a FREE service to restaurant owners to increase their number of customers.

Is this a proven statement or a hypothesis? In other words, are you trying to get your first users or are you trying to get more users?

If you already have users who have succeeded with your product, I would suggest publishing detailed and attractive case studies with your earliest clients.

If you don't have users, then it's a tougher proposition. You need to get out there and get to know the restaurant owners who have early adopter personalities (willing to take a leap of faith). I don't have a lot of advice on how to do this, other than continuing to network. Perhaps offer some additional incentives?
I remember that guy getting caught from some OPSEC weaknesses though. He would have been better off if the Chinese replacement was logging in though a machine at the guy's house, so the IP address didn't give it away. You could also use a webcam to share the RSA token, without having to physically send it, and lose control of it.
Hi riquito - this is a very legitimate concern, and it has to be reviewed individually for each type of proof keybase supports, in the client. With twitter, keybase, and github, you can't have a username containing any character other than an alphanumeric, dash, or underscore. Which means this kind of attack is impossible.

But for future identity proofs (domains, for example, which we've yet to implement), this kind of attack is real. Our approach here will be that anything outside of normal ascii will be highlighted and addressed to the user, as a serious warning.
Provinces have far less power than states do, at least on paper. The reason education and healthcare is run at the provincial level is because the federal government decided to do it that way as a cost-saving measure. If they decided to change it back, the provinces would just have to suck it up and go along for the ride. Just look at equalization payments for an indication of how little power provinces have.
Probably he means "we" as a generous substitution for "the unwashed and politically unenlightened proliteriat who compose the vast majority of humans".

I also have the will, and we definitely have the capacity right now.

Think of it this way: have you ever wanted to go to the store to buy food, and the store has been out of food? Have you ever been to the computer store to buy a computer and the store has been out of computers? Have you ever been to the doctor's (as scheduled) and the office has been out of medicine? What about housing?

We're already past the technological-industrial barriers required for post-scarcity, just not post-work (yet). What doesn't exist is the general public's will to make this a reality, even though it would certainly benefit them.
I experienced a similar change in mindset regarding the valley and the tech scene, catalyzed by recent trips out to SF that left me with a very uneasy feeling.

The uneasiness, I think, came from realizing that the community I wanted to be a part of for so long consisted largely of the same young, inexperienced recent college grads with self-appointed expertise in a variety of abstract fields (marketing, social behavior), who peddle the same formulaic and shallow insights on business and life, all with the belief that they are changing the world for the better. And look, there's nothing wrong with being inexperienced and wanting to do big things, but what irritates me is the semblance of expertise, arrogance, and contribution startup people put on without putting in their time to attain a deep understanding of any one area, especially since I come from a medical background where you know the people you work with are intelligent, have run the gauntlet, and prove themselves on a daily basis.

Or maybe that's how you hack wealth and I'm growing old and grumpy.
It's arriving right now. I can speak in plain English to my smartphone (or any other language really, it knows more human languages than I do), cars drive themselves, the world's billionaires are now focused on rapid AI development, etc. There are so many things different this time around that you shouldn't be so pessimistic. "It's different this time" (it actually is though)!

It was never firmly established that the Cardassians alone were a match for the Federation (much less so if the Klingons were involved). If they were, Captain Jellico's aggressive negotiations in "Chain of Command" wouldn't have worked. It's more a question of the Federation bending over backwards to avoid conflict.

In Insurrection, it's established that the rejuvenating radiation from the planet made the crew feel more youthful and fighty.

If your company is doing things you don't agree with morally, I believe it's your responsibility to do something about it. Sounds to me like you do to some degree, IMO that's something to be proud of.

> when design becomes more about tricking people into accidentally doing things they didn't want to do.

Is that share really worth frustrating users for? Can't you find some way of incentivising sharing better?

Sounds, from what little I know, like the company could do with some long-term thinking. Some ideas for selling that:

1. Would it make sense to increase player happiness? Word of mouth and upselling comes to mind.

2. I assume the company wants to grow - wouldn't it make sense to seek a positive perception at least in game developer circles to have a larger/better hiring pool?

3. I presume you're optimising for daily revenue and daily shares, but maybe there are other relevant metrics you should keep an eye on? Like the number of people who stopped playing (maybe "haven't played in a week"), daily negative ratings vs daily total ratings, perception (sentiment analysis?) etc. Even if you're not optimising for these things, it might stop changes that trade a small increase in revenue for a huge drop in another metric during A/B testing.

Feel free to drop me an email at fhd@ubercode.de if you'd like to chat more about this, I obviously find it fascinating :)

Eh, there's a big difference between lazy and irresponsible. We have a cat and a dog and they are well taken care of because we take our responsibility for their well being seriously, just as we would with a child (likely more so).

However, we take our responsibility for the well being of the pile of dishes in the sink much less seriously.
There are many enemies in the universe so Star Fleet is important.

Yes, but they're not enemies like Nazi Germany was an enemy, or like Al Qaeda was an enemy, or even like Bonnie and Clyde were enemies. They're enemies like a hornet's nest is an enemy. (If you're really cynical, they're enemies like the Protoss are an enemy, seen from the perspective of an American playing Starcraft. They exist to make your universe more fun.)

Think of how far ahead of the Klingon Empire the Federation is. They routinely have a single man with delusions of grandeur outwit the entire Klingon race and nobody thinks this is odd. We know that in the logic of the Trek universe if it's the entire Klingon High Command personally at the helm of 100 warbirds versus Wesley Crusher and his high school science project that Wesley is destined to win, right? You don't even need to see the universe from the outside to come to that conclusion. Ask a Ferengi to handicap that contest. He'd tell you "Rules of Acquisition #47: never, ever, ever bet against the humans. There's no profit in it. Ever."

Think of some power multiplier, X, for demonstrating the geometric mean between civilization's level of ability to effect their wishes on the cosmos. Multiplying the Aztecs by Xs gets you the colonial Spaniards. Multiplying the Spaniards by X gets you the US. Multiplying the US by X gets you the lowest starship captain ever depicted in the series. Multiplying them by X gets you to the Klingons. The Federation is still several powers of X beyond them.

This implies that the Federation could probably wipe out everybody else with a for loop, and probably consider that low-intensity conflict resolution. But that wouldn't be fun. Why hit the Borg with the Lance of Judgment when there are still so many stories to tell about how Picard proved that passion and ingenuity beat raw technological dominance? The Federation loves such stories as only a technological superpower can.
For those interested note that ToEE, while good, is about combat and combat only. The story and npc are not interesting (compared to the other games in that sale).
Show HN: Startya, launch your business idea with us
Hey guys, I've always seen a lot of projects being launched here but this is the first one I'm posting. Hope to get lot of feedback on my project!

(TL;DR version: http://startya.co)

We are a group of designers/ developers/ entrepreneurs that have extensive experience building MVPs for startups. We already created dozens of web based MVPs and projects in hackathons.

As we can easily turn our ideas into a functional application, we have a lot of projects running with almost no users using it because we don't have enough time to dedicate to maintain and grow all of them.

Thats why we decided to stop using our ideas and started looking for hungry entrepreneurs that are searching for a way to turn their business ideas into reality!

We will take care of the development, design and infrastructure and him will take care of the day-by-day and sell the project!

We won't be your personal development team! After our "investment", building the first MVP, the entrepreneur will have a goal to beat (which we will define together). And if he proves us that his idea has potential, by beating the goal, he earns another credit with us and we will keep iterating his project. This cycle goes on and on while he keeps beating the goals we set together.

Radiohead were one of the first major artists to do a 'pay what you want' which included $0. I believe they regretted it and I think I read one of the reasons was that it devalued music for everyone. e.g. if they are giving it away why do others think they can charge?
