So, just in my opinion and in my experience. The more I work with clientele who are successful, the more I find that....

...the more successful they've been, the more detached from reality they are. Because they've been so successful, who's to argue with their view point in life? They must be right.

Again, just in my opinion and experience.

None of those 5 reasons are attractive to me:

1.- Do something you’re passionate about.
I'm already doing something I'm passionated about, I'm in charge of a producton system that Works 24/7 the 365 days of the year and thousands of transactions daily, I created it alone from the scratch, nothing can't apassionate me more right now.

2. Learn something new every day.
That's not exclusive of an entrepreneur, I learn new stuff avery day in my day to day work, and since I'm the architech I decide what new stuff goes in.

3. Get a daily dose of adrenaline.
Believe me, keep such vital system working flawless daily, where a failure can cost thousands per minute gives me anough adrenaline.

4. Work with people you like.
I chose the people I work with, so, no problem there eather.

5. Prioritize your own work,
Same, as an architech I decide priorities, so no problem there.

There are better ways to promote entrepreneurnism, this article is not good at doing it.
Denmark spends about 0.7% of GDP on the "SU" student support system [1]. The same proportion of American GDP would be $110 billion; $24 billion would be a mere 0.15% of GDP. So I don't think there's a feasibility issue; it's clearly possible to spend as much as 0.7% of GDP on such a scheme. The U.S. has many more students, but also a much larger economy. I agree that such a scheme would be politically difficult to pass in the United States, though. I suspect the U.S. will end up spending a pretty large amount of money anyway, but on a more haphazard scheme rather than direct grants, such as occasional student-loan amnesties, or more heavily subsidized loan interest rates.

Rejuvenation would further divide the poor from the rich, as the poor are unable to afford such treatment.

The problem with inequality is not that rich people exist or that they live powerful, opulent lifestyles. The problem with inequality is poverty. Shutting down amazing research such as this is not going to solve poverty. To argue otherwise risks running afoul of the fallacy of relative privation.

The scientists working on this would not be able to solve the issues of poverty and inequality anyway since it has absolutely nothing to do with their area of expertise.

I bet you could count on two hands the number of U.S. patients who will pay for this drug directly, and they could all afford it 10x over. Yet Gilead will still sell plenty of it here.

When I was buying my basis I heard similar things about having to wear it tight to get correct reading. But after wearing it for a few months I've noticed that as long as I'm not running I get the same results, even while sleeping when it's loosened by a hole and it becomes much more comfortable. And tightening it to track my running isn't a huge deal to me.

The Bluetooth syncing worked perfectly for me the first week or so but stopped after that now I need to open the app to get it to sync properly over Bluetooth. But, at least for the unit I've gotten I've been extremely satisfied.

The problem I find, on crowded flights at least, is that if you don't have checked luggage and board late, you could find yourself without a place to put your carry-on, forcing you to check it.

> In fact, it is actually much worse for an employee to have such long notice periods. The most obvious one is already mentioned - boredom and low morale.

Unless the law prohibits terminal paid leave, this is easily avoided.

> Most companies have immediate requirements and cannot wait for months before it is filled.

So? Hire someone immediately. Having notice requirements for termination doesn't prohibit you from doing that. Internal policies regarding positions might, but that's a problem of internal policies, not externally-imposed terminal notice requirements.
I don't see your point. It is clear to me that she admitted breaking Belgian employment law saying things like: "Belgian law makes it very difficult to put such a flexible schedule in a contract. So your best bet is to hire people who share your passion, willing to 'volunteer' on such occasions." Notice the 'volunteer' in quotes... When you put 'volunteer' in quotes it doesn't mean the same, it's just a cynical way of saying that she expects people to be happy working overtime for free.

In other comments in this thread by Belgian HN users you'll see that "Belgian law makes it very difficult" is an euphemism for "it's possible, but costly", so she is basically admitting to break the law to reduce cost. How much this kind of approach to law is tolerated in Belgium, I don't know, so a future investigation is a pure speculation, I admit, but hey, am I not free to speculate about the future???

As far as 2) is concerned, I'm not witch-hunting here, calling for her head, or anything like that. I just think that the bad PR she's made will not make the company's board/owners/shareholders etc. happy. She just hasn't done any good with this blog post. I'm sure you agree with that, regardless of whether you agree with her views on employment law or not.

So, yes, it's all speculations, and I'm sorry, but I don't feel guilty about it. Should I, really?

When I attended the University of California at Berkeley in the fun 1960's, there was no tuition for in-state students. Zero. There were 27,000 students at that time just at that one campus.

It would be hard to quantify the return on investment to the taxpayers, but free quality higher education must have contributed to the thriving California economy and culture.

Yes, curing death would raise other problems. Bring them on.
Probably? We see a lot of examples where they depreciate quite quickly, both in American history and worldwide more recently. Look at a JPYUSD chart, or ask a Japanese guy. Whoa Nelly, that's a steep drop from 2012.

"There are many alternatives to click and you can have a look at them if you enjoy them better. The obvious ones are optparse and argparse from the standard library.

click is actually implemented as a wrapper around optparse and does not implement any parsing itself. The reason it’s not based on argparse is that argparse‘s design does not allow proper nesting of commands by design and has some deficiencies when it comes to POSIX compliant argument handling."

No, he presents a valid problem, what if rich people would automatically mean smarter, faster, stronger (harder) people? It would turn the current divide between rich and poor into a chasm.

I doubt they wouldn't demonize the poor as the lesser species, much like Americans did to Native Americans and British did to their colonies?

Another problem that might present itself is that often people have to die for new ideas to be accepted. Think of racist uncle, but now think he can live for a thousand years.

Thinking stuff like that will 'trickle down' is a fallacy. Just look at the American health system.

Did they change the model recently? Or were they charging for their APIs? I don't remember they charging the users.
OpenSSL needs a competitor to keep them honest, because clearly they've failed at their duty to push back on TLS WG features, failed at deprecating old code (Tandem multiplication, really?) and failed at writing secure code.
That's a great step forward. Are they perceived similarly to traditional associates degree holders (who are usually a few years older) by employers?
In Spanish you can consider Cervantes and his work "Don Quijote" , as the top of the literature, more or less the Shakespeare in Spanish, not same style, Cervantes was novelist, and i can tell you that it was a PITA to read in our literature class in school because the language had little to do with modern Spanish and it was at the same time so rich in vocabulary that you had to read it with a dictionary next to you, and ended reading one of the "translations" to modern Spanish. As a curiosity Cervantes and Shakespeare died on the same date but different days , Gregorian and Julian calendars were used in Spain and England at that time.

I've actually been wondering lately, if a for of openssh would be a good idea, with the goal of ripping out version 1 support, some other cruft, and eg: arcfour and other algorithms that seem a bit redundant and potentially dangerous (to me) these days.

So far, I'm thinking that the odds that I'd introduce some horrible bug (either along the lines of the Debian ssl keygen bug) or perhaps more likely increase vulnerability to timing attacks outweighs the potential benefits (a tighter, more transparent code base, with fewer features and hopefully fewer bugs).

Elastic Beanstalk does have rolling updates, but unfortunately its for environment changes, not application version changes.

Our developers are fond of the Elastic Beanstalk interface; to switch between app versions without end-user disruption, I have logic that directly manipulates instance state and uses connection draining (both ELB functions) to cycle new clients to the fresh cluster while not disrupting existing clients.

We don't run twice as many servers; before we switch between groups of servers, we scale up the destination cluster, and after the switch scale down the stale cluster with the old app version (2 is the minimum for load balanced applications unfortunately).

Unfortunately, a lot of the Prop 65 warning labels don't even say what particular substance they're warning you about. And I've even seen such stickers on pieces of solid wood, warning the consumer because wood dust is a _suspected_ carcinogen when inhaled.

To me, these labels are useless and dangerous for the same reason a lot of anti-drug education/propaganda is bad: it doesn't do anything to inform you about the relative level of danger. e.g. regardless of the affects of the drug itself, smoking a joint is _much_ less dangerous than injecting any substance with needles/syringes/etc which are not sterile.

Oh please. The rich always pay for the research and advances that the poor eventually get for commodity prices. And even if we fully cure death by aging, death by accidents puts the average lifespan somewhere in the 1000 to 2000 year period, given the drastically dropping birth rates in the first world, we'll have more than enough time to reach space or colonize the oceans, or build low orbit cities.

With every new 1000 people we get 10 new scientists, 10 new engineers, 10 new software guys; and technological advancement is easily sharable.
And if you can't do it with docopt maybe you are doing it wrong.
Agree, I should have made that clear in my comment. in fact I've found that a) the product devs should be able to find the cause much faster than you can, b) it's more effective for you to spend your time developing a repro script/code/etc, because unlike describing a bug, this is unambiguous and the devs can run it very quickly to verify tat the issue can be reproduced on their end.
not a bad idea. Does either have an official way to offer a bounty? If not, any sites that do? Also, what would you say is a fair price range for this kind of request?
You say your spiel as though we haven't spent hundreds of years trying to move beyond dictatorships, empires, and dynasties that treat their citizens as chattel.

I don't know if care per se about economic inequality, but a singular group that's able to maintain and extend its status as an insular elite and accrue resources for timescales in excess of those outside its ranks is likely to have interests that become increasingly at odds with those of the everyday human with a shorter lifespan.

Now it'd be fine if rejuvenation became cheap and accessible to all, but I think there's a very real danger that it becomes available to an elite first, an elite which would then create barriers to such technology's spread as means of maintaining status.
This is interesting, but I think it speaks more to which "beachheads" companies are choosing rather than which markets they ultimately target. For example, with consumer vs. enterprise I suspect that when Dropbox did Demo Day they would have been labelled a "consumer" company although the enterprise potential was obviously there. Vertical SaaS is another example--choosing a vertical is an excellent way to start, and it can be enormously lucrative for a small team, but I imagine that "VC-style" exits will usually require branching past it.
There are 7 billion people on earth, and a few hundred do this thing per year, so now it's so mainstream it's not worth doing? Is the point to experience something or to tell people about how you experienced something they haven't? Odds are still that they didn't climb Everest.
> You're also making the assumption that rejuvenation tech
> won't be cheap enough for everyone at some point.

You're making an assumption that human life can be valued in terms of money.

Take any surgery for instance. They are all life extension technologies. If someone came to you and told you, if you don't pay us 100k you'll die within next 30 years from cancer, would you pay? If the price became 200k would you still pay? If the price became too large to pay, wouldn't you attempt to steal/beg for the money to not die? Some things are too valuable to haggle and you'll accept any price. This is why surgeries cost as much as they do in USA.

Stuff like this might be cheap or expensive depending on how it's bargained. Things like this are better left to be mandated by the government.
Interestingly, according the the manufacturer, they will be offering it in Egypt at 99% off of this price.

Generally the drug companies selling "important" but expensive drugs also run their own "access programs" to give the uninsured or other people access to the drug at a much more reasonable price. The whole pharma industry is about price discrimination.

As long as they can keep the list price high, they are ok with selling some units at production cost -- this prevents a major backlash based on a media report of a pretty young white girl dying because her disabled war veteran parents missed a payment. True, it is harder to get into these programs the less "sympathetic" your case would be to the media, and a lot of Hep C patients won't be. From what I've read it is actually easier to get the really expensive high margin drugs for nearly free than the moderately expensive ones.

We say "don't just store salted hashes" because when people hear that, they think one run of SHA256 (or MD5 or whoknows) with a salt. You shouldn't do that. You should use a prepared method, because it's easy and (much more likely to be) correct. If you want to bodge together your own solution based on some large iterations of SHA256, you can, but it will take you much longer than just dropping in (b/s)crypt, and even longer if you have to match the (b/s)crypt feature set it provides out of the box. And you still have to face the fact that your SHA256 solution may not be as secure as you think because it's still a fast hash function, and an adversary may be able to process it much faster than you expect, whereas the (b/s)crypt have considered that in their design.

Pretty much by definition, advice provided to low-crypto-knowledge people can not depend on high levels of crypto knowledge. So, yes, pedantically you can point out that (b/s)crypt still produces a hash by the technical definition of hash. But you only muddy the waters for the low-knowledge people by doing so, and you probably shouldn't hold your breath waiting for plaudits from the high-knowledge people for doing so.
