You may loose your job at start up at the most unfortunate moment. In 2000 you can find 10 jobs in about an hour, in 2001 you could not find one job if you life dependent on it. Big companies do layoffs too of cause - but probability to be cut is lower and they almost always offer generous severance package. Also your personal circumstances may make lay off extremely inconvenient - for example right before child is born or you have medical emergency.

You should definitely get some premium for this risk - how much is open to interpretation.
No. The provider is required to restore the materials if they wish to continue receiving the protections from 512(g)(1). If the user has already agreed that the provider can remove work at will, there's no reason for the provider to care about the 512(g)(1) protections.

According to Wikipedia this trait is common not only on asians but also native americans, so it predates Genghis Khan.

>This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.

It really is, and has nothing to do with the current state of Medicare and what it covers. Our per-capita government health care expenditures are far higher than systems that both have better outcomes and that also don't charge at the point of delivery.

Our doctors make twice as much as everyone else's doctors, and that is only sustained because they are both protected from competition from foreign doctors, and also restrict supply domestically. Our drugs are 10x the prices paid in other countries. Our broken patent system contributes to massively bloated prices in medical devices.

We wouldn't have a government budget deficit if our system was as efficient as any other system in the developed world. The saddest thing is that in after our government spends more than everyone else, we as individuals then go out of pocket even more, and the majority of our bankruptcies and foreclosures are a result of medical difficulties. I would go on, but all of this is as boring and obvious as it is ultimately unsustainable.

Hmm, that varies from place to place, but yes - not cheap. Aren't there also different fees depending on whether it's for-profit or not?

Obviously you'd set it up with more people, there obviously are enough who want to contribute to Tor. You'd gather capital, sign some up as co-founders and use what you can to buy colocation and set up servers. I wonder if you could also switch things around and colocate in people's homes by renting the property and paying for a residential connection, then renting it back to whoever lived there originally at the original fee. Basically, you create a company, have it rent an apartment and pay for a connection, then you rent the apartment and connection from the company, which should end up with you (legally) having (nearly) nothing at all to do with the black box in the corner that connects to the internet.
This is true, but saying "treat all people trying to hide things as potential terrorists" is a very wide net to cast (to the point of useless).

I don't understand that. Other kernels may offer features that are similar enough to allow one to implement a large part of Docker on top of it. Nowhere in "docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash" does it say something about LXC.

Example in point: Spoon Studio, a very Windowsy application that does, on Windows, something not at all unlike what LXC does [1]. It allows you to add one layer of filesystem (just one, so no commits) over the host OS's filesystem and then run applications inside there, contained very much like how processes are contained inside Docker containers.

If this is possible right now (and actually these guys were around before dotcloud was even founded), then I don't see why at some point Docker couldn't come available on multiple platforms.

(but I might also completely misunderstand some fundamental thing that makes LXC/Docker completely unlike Spoon and friends)

Ford's real motivation was to keep money out of the hands of the Dodge brothers - he thought they were going to use the dividend money to start a rival automaker, and he was right.

The court ruled against Ford because he was acting in bad faith towards his shareholders, not because it's wrong for a corporation to accumulate assets and reinvest in its business instead of paying dividends. (Otherwise Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett would be in trouble...)

As you say, the SCotUS didn't explicitly say the exercise of a right cannot be taxed, but that doesn't obviate the fact that I am making that argument, absent any appeal to authority, right now. The issue was that poll taxes were being used to prevent poor black people from voting, denying their rights. That establishes definitively that taxation does infringe upon rights, and necessarily limits the ability of some people to exercise them. Poll taxes are not the only such example. There are several examples of backdoor prohibitions by outlawing something without possession of a proper tax stamp, then allowing the revenue authority to limit the quantity of stamps, or refuse to sell them outright. It works for drugs, guns, taxicabs, unsavory businesses, or anything else you don't want in your town, but can't manage to outlaw directly.

The SCotUS is not staffed by supermen or gods. We can reason as well as they can, but we are not bound by their tradition or political expedience. We can more safely make decisions that might impede the flow of money into the treasury or even collapse the existing government entirely.

I say that a right cannot be taxed. Any external impediment to the exercise of that right, of which taxation is but one, is an infringement. You can disagree, if you like.

Now, a Supreme Court justice, paid in part by the collection of taxes, would obviously say, "Whoa, now. Let's not be too hasty, there, fella." If I were in that position, I too might want to establish some form of guideline or balancing test, such that the infringement be "in the public interest" and "overtly nondiscriminatory, while still greatly advantaging rich people".

Taxing someone's speech by the word is unethical. Taxing someone's religion by the prayer is unethical. Taxing someone's trade by the amount of coin that changes hands is unethical.

We tolerate some level of unethical behavior in government, but it can go too far. If, for instance, someone raised the income tax rate to 101%, there is nothing inherent to the substance of the law preventing that. But you can be certain that it would go to the SCotUS, and they would find a way to say "you can't go that high" without also saying "you can't have that tax at all." It is very likely that they would carefully avoid establishing anything lower than 101% as an upper limit, thus inviting further decisions for 100% and 99% and so on until everyone got tired of trying the same case repeatedly.

Also, I do allege that voluntary commerce is a basic human right. The ability to buy and sell is a necessary and critical element of participation in civil society, and essential to securing our survival needs. It is derived from and intimately related to the right to own property.

Unless we are communist, and openly disavow any right to own property, I think we can safely presume that we also have the right to buy and sell that property.

But let's not just appeal to authority and let it lie without addressing the substance of the argument.
Good effort!

Ask HN: Take an enterprise level job, or start my own company?
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but I figure it is the best community to do so.

Today I received an offer to work at an enterprise level company that works in iOS development for multi-national businesses. I have spent the past four months looking into an iOS role that I would fit in and this company seemed perfect for me. Not thirty minutes after, I received an email that an iOS project I had started almost a year ago has gotten the finally go-ahead for investing. In all honesty I thought the project would never go through as all discussions just faded away and communication from all parties had dropped (there was a conflict of interest within the funding originally). This email was completely out of the blue surprise.

Now my question to HN is: in your experience and in your opinion, which job would you take? The financially secure one, or the one with the most risk? I haven't sat down to talk about the investing yet, so I'm not even sure how the pay would be for that, but I do know the pay in the other job.

The challenge becomes, how can I appropriately put off accepting the other company's offer, while I go into next week's meeting about the funding?

Thanks for the stats. That means the actual median income of $53,046 between 2008 - 2012 is about 10% lower than the median income 50 years ago, adjusted for inflation. I knew real income was lower over the past twenty years or so, but negative real income growth for the last 50 years is much worse than I thought.
I'm not suggesting they trust another dev with their IP. Perhaps I phrased things poorly. I think it could be potentially worthwhile to make their platform more open to allow devs to introduce their own IP on it. I also think that Nintendo could be doing more to get older gamers who grew up on their games to play Nintendo again (including, yes, potentially making games available on non-Nintendo platform).

Would console sales suffer? I'm not so sure. The market for, say, tablet games may not be the same market that exists for Nintendo DS games or WiiU games.

More than anything, it seems that Nintendo has just decided to do nothing to fix the situation. Even small-scale experiments in expanding their marketplace reach or opening up their platform may potentially encourage investors in their ability to get things back on track again.

Additionally, /. has a pretty good summary of what this is [1]. -- "If you search the web for communications security information, or read online tech publications like Linux Journal or BoingBoing, you might be a terrorist. The German publication Das Erste disclosed a crumb of alleged XKeyScore configuration, with the vague suggestion of more source code to come, showing that Tor directory servers and their users, and as usual the interested and their neighbor's dogs due to overcapture, were flagged for closer monitoring. Linux Journal, whose domain is part of a listed selector, has a few choice words on their coveted award. Would it be irresponsible not to speculate further?"

It is pretty clear to me that there is one way that Nintendo (or someone) can innovate and really capture their market again, and it revolves 360degrees around one thing, and one thing only: development tools.

Imagine if they released a console that had development tools bundled - i.e. onboard. Wouldn't that be a wonder! Especially if it were designed in such a way that it were Nintendo-easy to publish to a world-readable games store ..

Seriously, I believe this is one area that can blow open the whole game industry. Ship Unity developer edition on the next console, Nintendo, and make it available to everyone. You'll get a new game market created in no time...

Docker is based heavily on libcontainer (their replacement for LXC), which is based very heavily on kernel namespaces and cgroups. Those features are Linux-specific, and are a very important and fundamental part of what lets Docker containers work. Somebody could totally write another container backend to replace libcontainer that supported the mach kernel or other BSDs or Hurd or whatever, but it would likely require a lot of work (ongoing work, considering the speed at which Docker is changing over time).

I understand this argument, but it's a mistake. It's an incredibly dangerous position for an ISP to take and for what benefit? Why risk stepping outside the DMCA's protection?

Here's why it's dangerous for the ISP:

If I'm a copyright holder and find infringing materials on your service I will issue a take down notice.

You take the materials down. All good you think.

Nope. I then sue you (you've got more money then the infringer anyway).

You say "but, but, your honor we complied with the DMCA"

But I say "oh no you didn't you don't allow for your users to file counter-notices. Time for the court to decide."

And now we're in trial, because you don't have DMCA protection.

Is it an absolute fact this will happen? No, but the problem is it could happen, and that is exactly the liability the ISP is trying to avoid. And why, just so they can be an asshole to their users? There is absolutely no upside to exempting yourself from the counter-claim procedure.
Because your entire post reads like an ad for Spoon Studio.

Also, what does "Nowhere in 'docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash' does it say something about LXC." even mean?

Docker is built upon LXC features. It needs them to work. LXC not there? It's not gonna work.
I appreciate any feedback, or missing features that you'd like to see in the product.

My name gets mispronounced, too, and I'm fine with it - I actually prefer the incorrectly pronounced version of my name.

It has taught me, though, that when someone tells you "you can just call me X", you should not keep asking them how to really pronounce their name. If you're an American, you are not going to be able to fluently pronounce some non-Indo-European names. It's downright rude to quiz people for minutes on end as to how their name is "really" pronounced. If you don't get it on the second try, just go with what they're comfortable with.
Maybe your last name is not 'Kiss' (which has nothing to do with the english word kiss and pronounced as /kiːʃʃ/) and people never thought your first name is some kind of sexy word and started sending you kisses at inappropriate places :D

I recall hearing a discussion on the radio from a medical administrator re: the rate autopsies. IIRC the rate of autopsies has dropped dramatically in past few decades. There are many short-term administrative, financial & legal reasons to skip an autopsy, but it seems like a bad trend. While it's not ethical to A/B test human medical treatment in regular care, autopsies would seems like a critical data source to make improvements in health care - seems like yet another variant of "tragedy of the commons" problem that the rates are systematically declining.
