Philosophic Taoism introduces Dao, the origin and derivatives of the essence of nature, its laws and forms, on top of which the Taoist religion developed a complete methodology for normal people to ascend into heaven by practicing introductory transcending courses and eating natural/artificial elixirs.

The ultimate stage of ascended beings will be Tao itself, the advanced stage is celestial being, and the intermediate stage is god, and the beginning stage is 'trueman'.

Celestial beings have freedom to create new rules/universes with certain backfiring possibility which may cease their own existence. Normally they don't care about earth and human beings except for promoting new gods.
Gods are anthropomorphic and every one has a job. They either enforce specific rules or govern certain domains to maintain the human world.
Truemen are long lived human beings and they can self-educate themselves ascending to be new gods or destroyed by Tao if they fail to purify themselves.

Therefore, Taoism has two ways of creating anthropomorphic gods: promoted/guided by Celestial beings or self-help to ascend.

The first way is for great inventors and heroes etc.
The second way is for Taoist priests and emperors, but neither of them succeeded.

LoL

In China history, many famous emperors were poisoned by mercury because Taoist alchemists believed it's an essential ingredient for any elixir (on purpose?) ;D

In this case the power is "we can prove that you're a citizen of country X". Unless ID cards come coupled with mandatory carrying of them, I don't see an issue here. As long as countries provide services (like, say healthcare), there are valid reasons for needing to prove your nationality every now and then.
No. It needs corporate involvement, from Google, Red Hat, Amazon, Verisign etc. Lend minds, not money. By all means fund people to write it, but like it's not you who should be contributing, it's the corporations who rely on it.
For true fairness there needs to be a single organization nationally that can collect and process the tax. 50 different filings is an unduly onerous and inefficient hurdle for setting up shop.
Finland doesn't have a mandatory ID card either, but you've been able to get an electronic ID like the one described for quite a while if you want one.

The picture on the site is Estonian ID card. Being an Estonian I'm pretty sure that unlike our neighbours Finns our card is actually used a lot. The main driver is the ability to do your stuff from home, without going to some office during business hours. Given the size of Finland I'd expect it to be very useful in northern parts of the country.

Probably, but I'd be pretty easy to convince a court you did not actually transferrer your life time savings to Belarus because it is known that handwritten signatures are weak.

But courts have idiotic trust in technology. They accept the output of anti privacy program as a proof.
Russian writing is seriously un-phonetic. Or, more precisely, Russian pronunciation very often departs from writing. Unstressed vowels are commonly interchanged, voiced and unvoiced consonants too, and rules for correctly writing ь and ъ are so badly known that mistakes can be commonly seen in materials coming from mass media and government offices.
That system would require a complete revamp of the DNS protocol. Adding new TLDs, on the other hand, is perfectly compatible with existing software.
So each govt body seems to have it's own persona of you. While I understand that this in some way supports privacy against the govt, but it just makes me wonder how they handle certain issues. off the top of my head:

Aren't your passport or driving license connected to your other persona's?

If someone gets arrested, wouldn't that be tied to some existing Primary Key? How else would you know past criminal records of a person?

Do all the bodies simply work on "Foreign Keys" since there is no central Primary Key? And if all records have each other's foreign keys, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

I'm re-reading all the classics they made you read in high school. Melville, Darwin, Machiavelli, Kafka, Camus, Kant, you name it. At the time, I didn't realize why they were so highly regarded. Now that my mind matured somewhat I'm beginning to see.

A good example of this is The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck. I read it a good 20 years ago as part of an English literature assignment. It wasn't too hard to read, but I didn't think much of it at the time. I re-read it last year, and was blown away, not only because I read a lot more on the Great Depression/Dust Bowl period, but also because of the writing style of Steinbeck. Hemingway: the same. The tone, the rhythm, the choice of words... pure art. Like this gem from The Great Gatsby (it's about turning 30): "Thirty: the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthousiasm, thinning hair". One sentence, perfectly describing the anxiety of turning 30... I could go on forever, but all I want to say is: don't forget the classics!
The devs can probably at least be mature enough to use each others code where it is compatible. More to the point, there's really only a couple of full time OpenSSL devs, and the others are more contributors, for whom I'd imagine switching to a better laid out, less buggy, less spaghetti-codey, more practical implementation would be an advantage.
Being able to interact with the government via web was indeed the main reason why electronic IDs were initially created. But because they require additional hardware we've ended up using OTP auth provided by banks (TUPAS) instead.
The ClassID trick is reminiscent of ObjC's KVO addObserver:forKeyPath:options:context: - you typically pass a context to sort-out which type of object you are observing, because the observer only has one entry point for KVO notification.

static void* kFooContext= &kFooContext

...
[foo addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"bar" options:... context:kFooContext ]
...

if(context==kFooContext){
NSFoo* foo=(NSFoo*)object;...
}

A better alternative is to use a blocks/lambda based approach, that way you can have several distinct callbacks and don't have to handle routing yourself. (see Facebook KVOController)
The feeling of protection hinges on how easy it is. A bit over ten years ago I was working in database "cleaning": merging databases from different organizations[1] into one coherent dataset. The data volumes were large, but other than that it is a simple task with low error rates and one which absolutely does not need global unique IDs.

This was ten years ago. The task only got easier since then.

On the flip side, the lack of national ID has inconveniences. How do you authenticate yourself when selling your house?

[1] Ethical work. These were needed either after mergers or because of the MS Access syndrome, where every department designed their own customer database.

But what I don't particularly like about that line of thinking, is this: medicine thrived and grew on a quest to fight disease and death. The talk about "pulling the plug" and euthanasia opens a huge "Overton Window" that can go from not treating terminally ill patients to eugenics.

As a French native, I have a minor nitpick on the comparison between Diderot / Voltaire and Confucius / Mencius.

Diderot and Voltaire wrote Modern French, which is incredibly similar to the French that is spoken nowadays. I doubt a 4th-year French student would breeze as easily through, say, Rabelais' Gargantua, a 16th century text written in ancien français, before the modernization of French. It's so difficult to read even for natives (I've done the experience myself) that there are usually bilingual "Old French" — Modern French editions available for students.

And that's not even speaking about earlier medieval French which wasn't a single language, but a collection of langues d'oïl.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_French

The study of classical texts in general is difficult in any language when we're talking about timespans of centuries or even millenia.

> I run NAT on my firewall/router, and still host the services.

By "stuck behind NAT" I was meaning a NAT or 6-to-4 arrangement that is not under your control (so you can't configure port forwarding). This isn't all that common in the US or EU aside from mobile and satellite based providers (and you aren't likely to run servers off them!) but elsewhere it is more of an issue and will eventually become so everywhere where IPv6 take-up doesn't pick up fast enough.

> so I'm just "offline" until the link comes back up

I'm not sure what effects are common now (if any) but historically some services responded differently to the two downtime situations "DNS lookup worked, but I can't connect to that address" and "DNS lookup failed" - some MTAs used to be more likely to bounce rather than requeue for instance - so I always recommend topologically distant secondary DNS even for a single server+link situation. If you branch out later (for instance I currently have most things at home but a few bits external which I don't want down if my home link blips) you already have it setup so don't have the extras work to do. Also secondary DNS is required by the relevant RFCs, so if nothing else do it for that reason (I know you already do, I've added this bit for other readers should they stumble here in future).
What stops this server from then using that token to spam you?
I don't think agenda is the right term - more like wishful thinking.
Its the first step to the EU mandatory-sex-offender-registry-for-everyone that most continental Europeans call the "resident register" or "population register". For all you uninformed, that's where you must register with the police whenever you stay someplace. (Which is why I'm so derisive.) And they are starting to use national ID cards for this purpose now.

So in that respect this makes perfect sense. An electronic EU ID makes (for example) mandatory registration with the police so much easier.

Redis 2.8.9 is out
I don't get the point of this fork. Usually when a project is forked, it means that people want to keep the code base but disagree with the way the project is managed.

After heartbleed everybody blamed OpenSSL's bloated code base and it became apparent that many contributions came from volunteers with very few financing.

By forking the project, LibreSSL will keep the problematic code legacy and split the community. Maybe I am missing something, but it looks like opportunism here...
it sounds great, I like to try.

Lot of companies are moving away from UML but not away from modeling tools by using domain specific languages (DSL) instead of a language like UML which tries to please everybody. The Eclipse Foundation hosts lot of domain specific tools like Xtext (1) for textual DSL or Sirius (2) for graphical DSL. Both tools are even compatible since they are using the same underlying framework, the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). With those tools, and others (have a look at all the modeling tools in the Eclipse Foundation), you can build a "development environment" for your own domain with your dedicated editors (syntax highlighting, completion, error detection, etc) and designers.

Do you have link? As someone who's written 8bit platformers and effectively "copied" Mario's feel I didn't have to lower gravity to achieve a similar feel. I just set velocity while the button is held. There's no reason to lower gravity.

Mario is an 8bit game. There's no "real physics" in it. They aren't "applying a force to a mass". They're just adding an acceleration (gravity) to a velocity and that to a position.
> IMO, the couple of times you might do that in a decade are not quite worth buying and carrying the electronic ID.

I think this hilights the main issue with Finlands ID card experiment. Many places accept drivers license (which many people have) as a sort of semi-official ID. So most people had no need to get another card for ID, especially when it costs money and expired relatively quickly.
But people are rarely spending their own money: if you cut government, the same work will be done by some random mega-service-corp, with exactly the same waste.

In my experience, waste is a more or less inevitable consequence of large organisations, be they public or private. In both cases, the managers aren't paying out of their own pockets.
It is hard to compare communities of programming languages (even though I would be extremely interested in such data!). The only data I have seen around is this graph comparing the popularity on Github and the number of issues in Stack Overflow: http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2014/01/22/language-rankings-1-14...

Note Julia, Rust and Elixir are quite close to each other (which is nice considering they are about the same age). So, based on this data, I wouldn't classify Rust's community as considerably larger than Elixir's. Although Mozilla definitely helps Rust get some exposure!

Also I believe Elixir is more stable than Rust since Elixir runs on top of an existing Virtual Machine which helps us bootstrap the ecosystem and also skip a lot of "infrastructure work". We have also been avoiding breaking changes and doing deprecation cycles for almost a year now (sometimes it is unavoidable though) and Elixir has already 3 books in development (by O'Reilly, Manning and Pragmatic Programmers) with Elixir v1.0 planned for this summer.

Just to be clear, I am not knocking on Rust, just assessing the development stage of both languages (and please correct me if I got something wrong).

I am not sure about the conference details though, as I am just helping promote it, but wasn't there something like 20 or 30 people at the first RubyConf in US? We all need to start somewhere. :)
Probably the worst western example for this would be French.

Spelling of French is based on the pronunciation of Old French (from ~900 years ago!) and sometimes mixed with spelling based on the original Latin word from which the modern French word derives (from ~2000 years ago).

AFAIK modern Greek orthography is not that bad, if you disregard the madness that polytonic script (which is solely based on how Greek was spoken/written in Antiquity) was used until the 80s.

It's interesting how social and human issues overrule technology in most cases though. Predicting what technology will be possible seems to be a lot easier than predicting what people will actually want to use.

With regards to "communications will become sight-sound", this has been theoretically possible for nearly all communications for a while now, yet broadly speaking people choose not to be on video despite it being possible. The same goes for 3D TV, as noted in the article, or the renaissance of proper cooking as opposed to chucking semi-artificial muck into the microwave for 5 minutes as was considered 'the future' in the late 70s.

It sort of defeats the purpose, but because these are across organisational boundaries, it makes it rather more difficult for anyone to actually do anything with those links, and more expensive. A national ID system leads to a national database where much of this data would be much more accessible to the entire Government.

-> an ideal use case: capture and store unstructured data, typically tweets. Tweets structure is json based, quite complex with many field and substructure.
It's incredibly to store and manipulate such data with Mongodb without even knowing all the details of the fields!
It's also a good use case beacause mongodb is fairly good at adding data, pretty bad at deleting data.

same with some others document json oriented database (like elastic search), but mongodb is a good compromise in many area, the query language is easy to understand and powerful, the biggest issue being the diffculty to do complex computation and aggreagation: mapreduce help, aggreagation framework helps too, but in this area SQL is generally much faster for instance.
I don't know how much experienced you are with modern C++, but the language has in fact evolved to be more usable and high level :)
Another vote for higher-level meta-build-systems like cmake, premake or scons (I'm using cmake because it has very simple cross-compilation support). My personal road to build-system nirwana looked like this, I'm sure this is fairly common:

- Started using hand-written Makefiles and autoconf. Then someone wants to build on Windows, in Visual Studio nonetheless. Add manually created VStudio project files to the project. Then someone wants to use Xcode, so add manually created Xcode project files. Now you add files, or even need to change a compiler option. Fix the options in the Makefile, open the VisualStudio project, fix the options there, open the project in Xcode, fix the options there. Depending on the project complexity, this can take hours. The next guy needs to build the project in an older VisualStudio version, but the project files are not backward compatible...

- Next step was to create my own "meta-build-system" in TCL (this was around 1999), which takes a simple descriptions of the project (what files to compile into what targets, and the dependencies between target), and creates Makefiles, VStudio-files and Xcode-files, this worked fine until the target project file formats change (happens with every new VisualStudio version).

- Someone then pointed me to cmake which does exactly that but much better (creates Makefiles, VStudio-, Xcode-projects, etc... from a generic description of the sources, targets and their dependencies), and I'm a fairly happy cmake user since then.

- Recently I started to wrap different cmake configuration (combinations of target platforms, build tools/IDE to use, and compile config (Release, Debug, etc...)) under a single python frontend script, since there can be dozens of those cmake configs for one project (target platforms: iOS, Android, OSX, Linux, Windows, emscripten, Google Native Client; build tools: make, ninja, Xcode, VStudio, Eclipse; compile configs: Debug, Release). But the frontend python script only calls cmake with the right options, nothing complicated.

Of course now I'm sorta locked-in to cmake, and setting up a cmake-based build-system can be complex and challenging as well, but the result is an easy to maintain cross-platform build system which also supports IDEs.

I general I'm having a lot less problems compiling cmake-based projects on my OSX and Windows machines then autoconf+Makefile-based projects.

> Suppose I have 1% equity vested over 4 years with 1 year cliff, what will happen to my stocks?

What does your employment agreement say? Depending on the terms you'll have either 0%, 0.2%, 1%, or some other amount. Really hard to say anything without knowing what's in your employment contract and the types of stock you were issued.

> Its a cash-stock deal. Do I get any cash out of this acquisition?

Again, you'd have to read the terms of the deal. They might pay back the investors at a multiple, and split up the rest to the employees. And it's possible what's left for the employees could be very little, nothing, or a lot. It's really hard to say without any information.

If I were you, I'd read carefully through all the employment forms you signed. And if it's overwhelming, you should have a lawyer read them over to gain a bigger understanding.

Just know that 1% equity doesn't necessarily mean 1% of the deal. It all depends on the terms and the class of stock issued.

Since libressl.org doesn't seem to contain this information, hopefully someone here perhaps knows more about it: Is it possible to donate specifically to subprojects? As a previous donator to the OpenBSD foundation, being able to do so would hopefully aid receivers of those funds not only use time (timing) as one way to measure the potential success of libressl.

Attitude and font choice aside, I can't help somewhat feel that one could explore better ways to funnel interest, commitment and donations to a project such as this; especially since it sparked as a result of heartbleed.
