Lets be honest here.

Its merely a means for the very rich to protect themselves. They simply limit who can live near them by dressing it up in fancy sound good, do good, terms. Protecting the environment, protecting history, and all, is just nice speak for keeping people we don't want away.

As to one highly rated post about the benefits of socialism, it never has or will work. Socialism and capitalism are little different in the end, the first merely concentrates wealth and power in the hands of politicians directly, the later just adds another class that benefits.

I think you're approaching this in the wrong way. And, trust me, I have been there and done that over and over again and failed numerous times. People work on a side project for multiple reasons, and give that your reason is simply to augment your primary income, there is only one thing you should be looking for: people who are willing to put down their money to pay for what you want to build for them. Is that easy? No, but there are tonnes of crappy software out there which businesses pay for, and if you replace one of them, you can become ramen profitable pretty soon. What you really need to do is pick an industry (boring the better) that you know well or have good contacts in, and spend some time studying how they work and what you can do to make their life better.

You can of course also hypothetically build a product and hope to succeed, but that will be leaving too much to chance.

> I fail to see how his process has this problem and yours magically doesn't. You're making a lot of hay out of whether his "reactive" events or your "imperative" messages are better or worse, but they're the same thing: sending messages. The only difference is whether broadcast is better than a direct message sent to a unit.

No, that's not the only difference. Notice that I have 4 actors, only one is burdened with knowing how the process works. Here's what the other 3 actors see from their PoV:

- PaymentActor gets "process payment" event.

- FraudCheckActor gets "check for fraud" event.

- CancelOrderActor gets "cancel order" event.

This is what I call decoupling. 3/4 of your system is completely isolated from each other and reusable in different business processes. And the one actor who is "burdened" with knowing about the process (OrderActor) is in fact, responsible for the process (and you can open its code in one place, read it, reason about it, and change it in one place, not all over the graph).

And his model:

- PaymentActor gets "new order" event.

- FraudCheckActor gets "payment complete event" event.

- CancelOrderActor gets "fraud detected" event.

Those 3 processes are coupled with each other, as they need to interpret each other's events.

If you want to move to another system where the fraud check doesn't happen right after the payment, you need to edit the FraudCheckActor's "reaction" to that event.

In my case FraudCheckActor is only reacting to the "check for fraud" event and so it doesn't have to have its reaction code edited.

There's nothing "magical" about it, just better concern isolation. If you still see this as the same, that's all I could do to explain things :)

Disclaimer: I think this article is silly.

I've submitted this story because I think it's a symptom of how the tech boom in London could face serious cultural issues. British society has an elitism that means they need to make these kind of hierarchies and I wonder if it won't eventually prevent new start ups from getting the attention that they need without the 'blessing' of one of these people?

But maybe it works like this in the 'Valley' as well?
I believe standard procedure would be for IRS to report it to US-CERT who are part of the Department of Homeland Security.

At which point (I imagine), decisions would be made along the same lines as I described, the key questions being "can we keep it secret?" and "who has this capability?".

I tried to be nation-agnostic, as I imagine there may be a bit of difference in how a given nations' intelligence agency weighs the value of their offensive capabilities and the public defensive capabilities in light of who knows about the bug.

I believe that many of the thought processes enforced by charismatic cult leaders (respect the elders, listen to the elders / leader in all things, avoid thinking for yourself, submit to god - through me) are designed to create docile followers - open to exploitation in any number of ways (get them to sell their old belongings, hand over their savings, open their legs..).

These vulnerable people can and will be exploited by anyone with the will to do it, whether it's the leader or another elder that does it.
How Mathematicians Used A Pump-Action Shotgun to Estimate Pi
"There are laws out there, and he doesn't seem to want to follow them."

Would you apply this idea to 19th century when blacks and women did not have much rights? Or to 15th century Europe to those who are not following the rule of God? Or to 20th century Germany where people democratically voted for policies of you know who (hello, Godwin's law)?

By saying "there are laws out there" you implicitly declare a universal moral theory of yours which makes the laws you mention "legitimate" and "moral", meaning, whoever not following them is "immoral" and thus can be punished with violent coercion.

So as far as I understand, you are very well educated in philosophy of ethics to just say that a guy who was allegedly involved in moving some digital bits back and forth that allegedly helped some other guys to buy some vegetation, deserve violent punishment (being kidnapped, locked up and most possibly raped)?

My opinion is most of the finance-related laws are "thoughtcrime" laws that have no legitimacy at all. Heck, almost every law has no legitimacy because even democracy is not proven as a valid moral basis for human behavior. And so I do not advocate violence towards anyone. Instead, I suggest people use tools to protect themselves against each other (locks, insurance, alarms, crypto, bitcoin, private protection services etc.), instead of trying to retaliate after something bad happens.

Your philosophy is flawed and before you realize it you may be actively advocating for huge evil without knowing it. Like it always happened in the any country where people cheer for their rulers until the rulers come after them. Absolutely in line with the law, after all.

I am not pretending everything is perfect, but economically the UK is projected by the IMF to grow faster than any other developed G7 Economy in 2014; and at twice the rate of the Eurozone [1]

Debt is high, but the key metric of net debt as a proportion of GDP is decelerating and is forecast by the Office of National Statistics to level out over the next few years and be falling within 3-4 years. [2]

The UK has made cuts to social and welfare budgets, but these cuts are actually smaller than across the Eurozone. Social spending has risen faster since 2000 in the UK than anywhere in the OECD. [3]

There are still issues with wealth disparity (poor vs rich and South-east versus the rest of the country), tax avoidance (mainly corporate), and challenges with reforming the welfare state so that benefits are there for the those that genuinely need whilst not creating a disincentive to those that work. However, saying the UK is mess at the moment, is do dismiss the facts.

I don't see that there's anything numerological about the suggestion that Apple might have worked into their publicity for the iPhone and iPad some allusions to ... a science-fictional black cuboidal artefact containing mysterious highly-advanced technology that changes the world.

(For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not claiming that they did. It could very well be no more than coincidence. But it doesn't seem all that far-fetched to me that there might have been a conversation like this: "OK, we should set the time to somewhere around 9:40 for these pictures." "Hey, if we make it 9:41 then there's a cute 2001 allusion in there." "Ha, iPhone as the monolith from 2001. I like it. Let's go with that." And there's no need to believe in numerology to find this plausible.)

Some do, actually, but the reason why startups are in Silicon Valley is because that's where the VC are. VCs want to be able to drive their Tesla from Atherton or Marina to check how the company is doing.

So a startup can hire remote tech workers, but it still needs to be somewhere with capital in order to pays those remote workers. And most VCs are in SV, in particular VCs willing to invest tens of millions in a startup.
This piece is very perceptive in portraying Prop 13 property-tax caps and rent-control as sibling policies, each feeding destructive "I've got mine" politics. They both bribe incumbent owners/renters/voters with an economically valuable seniority privilege, at the expense of the future and flexibility. Children and young adults suffer the most: they move the most, and none have the benefit of paying frozen base rates established 20-30 years ago.

I wonder if both rent-control and prop-tax-caps could be knocked down in an equal-protection lawsuit. Why does the person who moved in yesterday, perhaps far needier than the longer-term resident/owner (and just as deserving of basic civic services) have to pay so much more? Is duration-of-residence a legitimate basis for such strong civic discrimination rooted in law?
Not just contrcat law employment law experiance is key here.
...still waiting for an article about a team of super-heroes starting to rewrite OpenSSL in Haskell
It's perfectly possible to learn to change your ideas and continue to learn and adapt over time well into adulthood. Not everyone does it, but I pursue personal growth and learning, and consequentially change quite a lot from year to year. I would happily commit to change and adaptation in order to live for thousands of years. I don't think I need death to give me urgency. If anything, thinking about my mortality tends to reduce my motivation.

I find the idea that an infinite living "me" would not be "me" very strange. It's like saying that if you keep adding fuel to a fire, once the original fuel has burned away it's no longer the same fire. My mind is a dynamic process, even if it changes state, it's still a continuation of the same process.

Ultimately, the ideas and urgency of ordinary human beings probably won't determine what happens to humanity in the long run. We're on course to develop powerful AI even with the technology and ideas we already have. Who knows what will happen then, but I think a stagnated immortal human race is a very unlikely outcome.
The air in SF is very clean. The prevailing winds come from the very-wide pacific ocean and blow all the pollution across the Bay into Oakland and Berkeley.

It does however have a fog problem, because those nice clean prevailing winds are quite cold and moisture condenses rise when encountering the hills along the coast. This is in fact the major source of water for the coastal giant sequoias.

"Coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) are distributed along a narrow band of California's northern coast. During the summer these red giants take advantage of the fog to capture water out of the air—and summer is the critical growing season for the trees, despite being California's dry season."

That was a very long but very good article.

I still don't get protests over evictions or for rent control. They are literally forcing the landlord to subsidize their cost of living. But why make only landlords pay for the subsidy? Why not tax everyone? I'm ok with income redistribution, but not when it is done so inefficiently and at the expense of a specific group.

> What about putting in effort into writing extensive test suites

Easier said than done. Writing test-suites for a codebase which never had a test-suite is a million times harder than writing a test-suite for new, fresh code.

In fact it's probably easier to start over than re-factoring the code to be testable in the first place, but some people might argue that would be a wee bit drastic. So not saying it can't be done, just that it does take a very significant effort.

If anyone should still feel like doing something like this, I can very much recommend the following book for advice and morale boost:

Ask HN: Anyone interested in a UK based fulfilment API? | Stripe for Fulfilment
Hi HNers,

I've got a warehouse in the UK where we already distribute consumer electronics (e.g. cameras) for many of the biggest retailers in the UK and Europe. Our operations are slick but we have more capacity than we currently utilise.

I've been wondering if any companies (in the UK or international) who sell goods, would be interested in a fulfilment API to store and ship goods. I think this could be particularly useful for US companies who would like to sell in the UK

How it would work:

Send products to us ==> We store the products in our warehouse ==> When you get an order, send us the address ==> We'll pick, pack and ship your product

I imagine we would charge a monthly storage fee and fulfilment fee per unit. We already ship with all the main couriers so our prices are low and next day delivery wouldn't be a problem.

If anyone would be interesting in a fulfilment service API like this, please leave a comment or send me an email to ollie.marshall1 at gmail.com

Thanks!

I think this is a pretty groundless claim. San Francisco has been one of the most tolerant cities of alternative lifestyles and even homeless people compared to any other American city.

It's easy to claim that the rich just want their gated communities, but if you can't even address the claim that they want to preserve the existing quality of the city without claiming a hidden ulterior class motive then how are we supposed to have an honest dialogue? You can't just unilaterally declare a whole group of people to be lying about their motivations and expect anything productive come out of it.

by comparison, a transistor currently reliably scales down to 10 nm and the theoretical limit is probably close to 2-5 nm, and can be flipped at a rate in the range of Gigahertz. Being a designed system, the 100 nm scale is very close to the absolute smallest you can design a DNA logic gate, and I guarantee you it will never flip as fast as a electronic. And then just handling DNA is not trivial in general.
I think the policy is intended to harm rich people rather than benefit poor people. "I want to see my enemy suffer" rather than "I want to make my side better". That could be done with a basic income or similar policies, and could easily be paid for with normal taxes on income. It would also redistribute wealth over time.

Also see the zero-sum fallacy (http://lesswrong.com/lw/2gd/fight_zerosum_bias/). "Some people being richer necessarily means I am poorer."
You release a new version as a new app and your users buy it again, if they want to. It does away with 'upgrade pricing', but the idea is you just reduce the base price of the app to compensate so there's a slightly lower price for new purchasers, but a slightly higher price for upgrades. It's a different simpler pricing model, but not an inherently un-viable one.

I think you mean to say that users of Tor are potentially vulnerable to NSA and GCHQ attacks.
Specifically, they lack the capability to deanonymize individual targets upon request and according to the slides leaked by Snowden they are only able to deanonymize a very small fraction of the traffic and usually have to rely on attacking surrounding software, such as the Firefox browser bundled with Tor.
