Since the SRE dream team fixed healthcare.gov so quickly, it seems it must have been mostly done decently well, but lacking a bit in QA and followthrough. Or do you think you could have put a web/db system in place from a cold start just about as fast?
Instead of payment, an app dev owns a % of app sales for the lifetime of the app
On the surface this sounds like a crazy idea, but I would love to hear opinions on it. This works for the company if the company did not have the manpower or capital to support the apps. It may work for the developer as a steady stream of reoccurring revenue while he/she continues working on other projects.

A lot of details would need to be ironed out such as percentage of app sales/banner ad sales. The app developer would actually own the app, but the company would own the data.

What do you guys think? Does this have any traction or has it been done before?
Saying that without also acknowledging the problems of the 1970's is just as bad as saying "the 1980's were great for Britain - look how profitable companies became".

Many things Thatcher did were terrible, but at the same time (for example) it's difficult to argue that a national government should be in the business of running road transport for the country[1]. There's a reasonable argument that some utilities work best in state ownership in some cases, but many of the other things that were run by the government prior to Thatcher were complete disasters.

Almost all the Haskell entries in the shootout are just using the FFI to call into C libraries. None of them are remotely close to idiomatic Haskell.
My message is not a red herring. I did not make any conclusions of my own for you to debate. I was trying to add context (note that I replied to fit2rule, I wasn't challenging you). I quoted the Guardian and gave the reason there is no public Snowden document on the Microsoft NSA issue. Therefore, we don't know the specifics of their collaboration/cooperation. I do not dispute what you said about delayed patches, but it is meaningless without that context.

To be fair, there is not much daylight between: 'The root comment suggests that Microsoft arranges to provide NSA with vulnerabilities that they deliberately do not patch' and what the Guardian reported about Outlook. At least to me, but I'm not a security expert. Is it not considered a 'vulnerability' if Microsoft hands over the keys so to speak?

Also on a side note, it is rude to call me out like you did. I don't have herrings up my sleeves. I don't care about internet points. I just wanted to contribute more information to the discussion.
I'd rather draw attention to the RFC. Sites that collect email addresses do, sometimes, reject that +suffix to the left of the @, precisely to avoid that identification. The RFC says the left of the @ is up to the host, more or less, so that's how it should be treated.
The 5-Step Process For Making Products That Customers Use And Pay For
Same here, I configured Firefox to not allow pages to choose their own fonts. Instead, I use a font of my own choosing to render all webbrowser content, and I've set a minimum font size limit, too.

Together with the 'View/Zoom/Zoom Text Only' option enabled, I can comfortably read almost any web page, without having to scroll horizontally. Also, quite some sites show a bit breakage because their developers use fixed heights for container DIVs etc... (a container should size itself to its content, instead).

I had some experience with this.

- Define the % in different ranges. When the sales is less than X, you got them all.
- The company may stop their effort on this product.
- You may disagree with the company. Maybe you should get a better % for yourself, if you want to take control.
- You'd better to get an inital pay.

It's, basically, co-found a project.

You need value your self's work, the company's work, and the potetioal of this thing, etc.

Just curious... you said your best result was "applying directly" after seeing a company on CL, but that emailing the company after seeing on CL was not as successful. In this instance, does "applying directly" mean you went to each company's website and applied on their jobs page? Or did you call them/research and email someone specific/something else?

Sure - while the sense of responsibility within the fourth estate has diluted with 24/7 news cycle - I agree that the buffer to reporting news (after fact-checking) remains important. I'm simply highlighting that the last 5 years has birthed exciting new means of experiencing mass events.

Re: "so what" - well ... do I get upset a few about racist/homophobic Youtube commentors? No, because I know that by engaging in this platform (and the whole interent FTM) I am going to be exposed to a raft of idiots/trolls who carelessly ruin lives. That is simply the rules of engagement on the internet, so I thicken my hide and continue on. So I'm not blind to the consequences, as you put it - I just accept that I cannot control the actions of a speculative, idiot minority that trolled that missing kid.
I agree with most of your points, but saying it was only a couple of users that may have jumped to conclusions is a gross understatement.

I think aluhut's point is that at various points in time Chrome has come bundled with various other software on Windows, often enough as an opt-out install, not an opt-in. Needless to say, Google has spent a fair amount of money on those sorts of deals. This is an effective, if sleazy, way of gaining market share.

Yes, but you can not use a smart phone while treating patients. If you're using Google Glass, you can't really not use it, especially if the reason you're wearing it is to help patients.

I do believe this is a solvable problem (as do the people working on it, I'd imagine), but it hasn't been solved yet.

Perhaps a sealant on the device plus a cleaning regimen will do the trick, but right now I'd put google glass somewhere near neckties (glad that that's been largely dealt with), lab coats and, well, pretty much anything that has places that will readily harbor foreign bacteria as a terrible thing to wear from room to room in a hospital.

So I guess that given the state of things right now (riddled with such harbors), it's perfectly reasonable to give the technical benefits of glass a try. Maybe we'll come up with some good software that will save some lives.

(This may seem like a retraction, but I was really just comparing Google Glass vs regular glasses in my original reply).

At a minimum, chargebacks can occur months later. The chances of a fraudulent chargeback would go down the longer you waited, though the changes of a legitimate "why don't I have my product yet" chargeback would likely go up.

That depends on how the money is used. If it is just consumed, then sure, but if it's invested then it can be a renewable source of income. For instance, what if that money makes the difference in buying a car to commute to a better job that couldn't be obtained without the car? Or farm equipment that increases productivity? Or training to get a better job?

No I mean that when you discover or invent something that "saves the world" it might have a large net positive benefit, but it might be difficult for the inventor to capture enough of that benefit to justify the risk of investing in the discovery. Say you need a $500bn payout to justify the risk of investing $10bn in curing cancer, as opposed to spending that money in something with surer returns. Curing cancer might generate $2 trillion dollar in net social benefit, but it might be very difficult for practical and political reasons for the company making the invention to extract 25% of that to justify their investment. A cure for cancer would quickly be subject to generic drug licensing by the government, under the premise that it would be wrong to profit so much from withholding cancer treatment from sick people. So why deal with that when you can get 100x return on an internet startup?
Thank you for the reply. My career is not my only concern, but one of the things I have to consider if we need to wind this down.

My comments were not a serious proposal. I was replying to a comment that lacked intellectual rigor and I proposed the opposite to point out some logical flaws.

That said, cash transfers can help bring people out of poverty. A flat redistribution of wealth is not the right way to get that effect, but some kind of direct cash assistance is not remotely a wasted effort.

Like it says in the man page, git add -p "effectively runs add --interactive, but bypasses the initial command menu and directly jumps to the patch subcommand". Interactive mode does support adding untracked files.
There is a third, and far more likely option: they applied, and were rejected. Recruitment process are terrible through out, and world-changing institutions are no exception. Let me know when I can fix cancer or neurological disease: I know how well enough to make a significant contribution. While I wait, three head-hunters have called about that virtual good start-up…

Also: (b) is far more likely than (a).

"He's shown no attempt to put the name to use and he's made no attempt to negotiate a reasonable price. If he increases the price after I've built the brand then I'd gladly spend $1500 on an ICANN arbitration hearing."

Sorry but you are wrong. (I won't even get into the "made no attempt to negotiate a reasonable price" and skip right to the action you think you will file.

That's not what a UDRP (what you call an "ICANN arbitration hearing") is for or how it is used or what it is intended for. (Sure every now and then pigs fly just like people sometimes win crappy cases or OJ is acquitted.)

While there are certain circumstances that would allow someone to use a UDRP to get a domain the situation you are describing is most definitely not one of them. In short he owns it prior to your use of the mark. And if you did have a case you would not be doing yourself any favors by trying to DIY this process you'd have to hire an attorney with experience (and not all attorneys who claim expertise in this area actually have it.) Further if the domain is owned by someone who is in the business you have even less of a chance even if you think (or an attorney thinks) you have a case.

(I'm not an attorney but this is most definitely my area of expertise and I am quite involved in different aspects of this business...)
You do see that in Spaceballs, though. Would be hilarious if Mel Brooks turned out to be more technically accurate than the original.
"My experience joining TopTal"
There are things like paperclip maximizers (http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Paperclip_maximizer). Even a regular alien civilization is likely to be very, very different than us in entirely unpredictable ways (http://lesswrong.com/lw/so/humans_in_funny_suits/). They may not have a moral system like ours, they may not value our lives at all. Such a civilization might destroy us simply because they don't want us to become too advance and compete with them. Or possibly become a threat to them. Or maybe just because they want our solar system someday.

I'm not claiming that any of this is certainty. It really is very difficult to predict. But I caution against anthropomorphic reasoning. I also think it would be wise to be cautious about taking these kinds of risks, if we can.
To be honest, the video in TFA looks like something out of a 2009 game, it's not particularly impressive. And I guess it'll probably be a rolling demo, not having the requirements of a complete game that also has to handle a bunch of computationally expensive stuff like collisions, game logic etc.

While there could very well be something to back this up it could also be similar to the "Netscape Now" button that was very common back in the mid to late 90's. People doing it in other words because they are merely copying what others do. I think this is probably more common with startups because young people who do startups aren't aware of anything fresh out of school and are certainly more likely to mimic what they see others do.

If you wrote a C compiler that had special optimizations for a subset of C without pointers, then it would still be a C compiler, and the subset that it optimized for would still be C.

Range with this setup and a Phantom isn't much more than 10 meters, from experience. The wifi module on the GoPro runs a web server where segments for HLS are published, so every packet and frame must be acked by the the phone and segments downloaded fully, which might not be the best when you want a bit range on the thing.
