And in fact, imagine a large software corporation that wishes to be able to tax-deduct the portion of its profits that go into R&D, so it sets up an open-source non-profit to do all of that, with leadership that may have a financial stake in the corporation or be otherwise leveraged, and donates its corporate profits to the non-profit for its operations. This is almost exactly the definition of a fig-leaf charity. Imagine if Google spun off an Android Foundation and sent all of its core OS developers there, or even more so if Apple spun off a Swift Foundation to make an open-source compiler - even though they would be creating open-source software that could be used by other companies, it would not be in the spirit of the law that defines 501(c)(3), and much of the benefit would be derived by the parent corporation. So as much as my knee-jerk reaction is to say "government doesn't understand software," as a taxpayer I think it's perfectly reasonable for the IRS to be wary and have the BOLO in place.
I don't know about the US, but in the UK the situation regarding (1) is the reverse. In the recent scandal, the (student) president of Oxford Union was publicly accused and arrested because of rape allegations. He was subsequently found innocent and one of the victims apparently made up the whole story, but in the meantime a lot of influential people have cancelled their talks at the Union and his name is smeared for life, while there have been no negative consequences (yet) for the lying accuser - she can't even be named publicly!

Apparently, this has spurned a conversation in the UK media whether the names of people accused of sex crimes should be kept confidential until they are found guilty, in order to avoid ruining innocent people's lives.

There's nothing wrong with what you are doing. There is no law that states that all open source libraries in the world should be perfectly documented, and have a set of tutorials that would gently teach anyone as much as he wants about how to use it. Writing documentation and/or tutorials is hard work, and the larger your target audience is, the harder and more time-consuming it is.

I don't think your library will be generally useful to a large audience until you or someone else writes better documentation for it. But you don't have to target a large audience. It's quite likely that when someone else has the same problem, it would be faster for them to reuse your library than to write their own. They might even document the process.

I don't think I'm qualified to give any specific advice, but here's some general suggestions which may or may not be to the point. If you are sufficiently motivated, you should decide who your target audience is, and write enough documentation for them. For example, for an advanced audience, it might be useful to say a few words the general design of your library, explain which problems your library does solve and (more importantly) what the limitations of the design are, perhaps outline anything in the design that is strange or unexpected, but useful from your experience. The most important thing for them to know quickly is whether your library can actually solve their problem (which is probably slightly different from the problem you solved), whether it is actually faster to use your library than to roll their own. If they really need to, they'll figure out the rest. The end result might be closer in style to a CS paper than a tutorial.

Oh, and one thing you really should fix: it is annoying that the haddock documentation is not available on Hackage at the moment, and probably not searchable on Hoogle as well.

Again, there's nothing wrong with your library, you are doing a good thing open sourcing it, and any time you put in describing it and explaining it to people is valuable. Just keep doing more of what you are already doing.
I have been playing a lot with Polymer over the last 4 months or so. Here are my thoughts:

From what I can tell Polymer works closely with the Chrome team and the features that this "framework" offers are really just upcoming tech that is being built into chrome and is being made available by Polymer. Things like web components, html imports, templating etc... are built built into the browser so the longer you use polymer the less of polymer you will use.

When I describe polymer to people I say it's an opinion layer on top of upcoming tech. And in addition to that everything is polyfilled to some older browsers, but right now is aimed towards the evergreen browsers.

When you ask "should I use Polymer", what I hear is, "should I get a jump start on the upcoming future of the web"? Lets be clear here, Mozilla, IE, Chrome etc... are all merging on these technologies. Object observers, templating, web components etc... are all emerging, Polymer is just one way you can use them now and tie them all together in an opinionated way. If you don't like it you don't have to use polymer you could just use plain ol JS and achieve the exact same solution, just slightly more verbose and with less support.

Now as to wether or not you should use it? Depends who your audience is. If you need a huge wide support from old browsers, probably not. If you're doing tooling for your company then yeah I would, it would be great to get used to the way the web is migrating towards. Just keep in mind everything is still solidifying, so there might be some awkward corner cases or something, but honestly it's just plain old Javascript soooo it's pretty vanilla so you shouldn't have too much difficulty if you know JS.

Last thing I have to say about Polymer. It's going to stretch the way you think of the DOM and JS. The way everything is structured and the way you should be thinking about it is that every DOM node should be considered an instance of a class. The DOM node exposes an API and away you go plugging and playing into the rest of your JS. It's really fun once you get used to it. This will really stretch you when they introduce the ajax api as a DOM node. wat. Crazy things are happening, some good, some will need to be changed.

Full disclosure I work at Google as a software engineer that specializes in frontend, so I am exposed to this a lot though I do NOT work on the project. That's about it :)
I typically get 97% of one core for my $5 instance, FWIW (or 100, depending on load of the box, I presume).

Storj.io: The world's first blockchain-based decentralized storage network.
Probably. As an investment, I don't think the domain has much value for them since Hacker News isn't their brand, it's just the name of the forum.

But I don't think getting the money would be an issue - though I guess a lot depends on how much the domain is actually worth, and whether they planned to do something crazy like add paid accounts to take advantage of the higher visibility.
This would be awesome if mounted with a double camera and using Oculus Rift for the display. Probably the closest you could get to being able to fly :-)
There the unfounded assumption that the old domain owner will spend the vast stacks of cash on the proverbial "blackjack and hookers" and waste all the rest, instead of spending it on charity and startups.

Cash works, so hardware wallets will work.

See, people are used to, and are already pretty good at securing valuables such as cash (in a safe, at home, or on themselves). A paper backup presents to additional complexity to store securely. And Bitcoin offers extra advantages: losing your paper backup does not affect you ability to use the wallet, and you can have multiple backups, etc. So a hardware wallet is at least better than or equal to cash in terms of security.

Credit card fraud is a problem for credit card companies, but as a user I couldn't care less. The last time someone copied my credit card I've got a call from Amex within a few days, they reversed the transactions and sent me a new card.

Of course Bitcoin would be more secure (I own some myself). But from a users point of view this additional security doesn't really matter too much. I rather pay with my credit card and get 1% cashback.
I think that just points to failure on both parts. Users of OpenSSL failed to correctly vet the codebase, and OpenSSL developers (according to numerous reports I've seen) failed to build a secure and clean (in this case, I think those are related) codebase.

This happens occasionally, a product is the leader in it's market because it was the only game in town, but eventually it's replaced as something beats it in one or more of the categories of features, speed, reliability, or freedom. See ssh.com vs OpenSSH.

The truth of the matter is, many people have concerns about the security of OpenSSL (and IMHO, rightly so), and no matter how bad we feel for the developers, this is not a case where we should trust in our loyalty. This is our personal security, the security of the businesses we work for, and the customers that use them. I can't in good faith use anything but what I consider the best choice, given whatever constraints I already face.
That is the last paragraph. Shouldn't be the last word though. You're seeing it cut off with the word "for" ? Anyone else?
There's a decent chance to get into racism as well, if you look at the content of the texts and the sender.

As an aside, I found it a little hard to take the texts seriously--such atrocious spelling and grammar! On an old candybar I've typed more clearly and at greater length. For shame.

I have long todo list. Every morning - I looks thru the top 10 and move 3-5 items to the top. When the top list is < 2, I review the list again.
It's freemium, and no doubt like most freemium services, 99%+ of the users will pay nothing for it. They are raising funds to host that free service until it becomes self-sustaining through the optional upgrades.
The app looks awesome, and also served as my introduction to Hype Machine. How I haven't managed to hear of this service before is beyond me. Now I'm just sad I didn't know it existed until now.

Also great to hear that Swift development is going smoothly. I just started into learning it, and so far the strangest thing I've found is that I've learned a ton of Objective C by having to struggle through missing documentation/examples and having to learn the Obj C way of doing things and then translating them to Swift. It's been interesting.

> If you were a skilled member of the finance industry, do you think you'd have any trouble at all finding a job elsewhere if your current company suddenly fell on hard times? Would it even be necessary, given the type of "severance package" likely to be awarded?

Do you think the people dismissed at the direction of the criminal prosecutors as part of a prosecution that also caused their employer to receive a fine nearly equal to its annual pre-tax income got generous severance packages? And, beyond that, do you think that, that the reason they left their last job -- including the condition imposed on BNP Paribas not to rehire them again even indirectly -- has no impact on the employability elsewhere in the industry?

No doubt sitting is bad, but don't overthink this. The original and following studies could not possibly have controlled for every related variable. There's just too many potential nodes and arcs.

If you're in generally good health, get a standing desk and call it a day.

It could also be argued that having a treadmill desk leads to spending more time at the desk. Since treadmill means less work done due to fatigue + less productivity because of loss of deep focus. Overall, bad news. Standing desk + general cardio is what I recommend.

Your best bet is probably to put it behind nginx and use something like supervisord to launch the server itself and restart it if it panics (supervisor will also handle log rotation etc).
So, do I pay for this? Is it free? Is the idea that I could possibly hire the designer eventually, and therefore it's worth it for them?

SEEKING WORK - UX/Interaction Designer - Remote or SF Bay

I specialize in high speed, high output brand direction for early stage startups.

When the MVP is solid and the dust is settling enough that you can start thinking about a first design hire, but have no idea where to start or what to do, I'm the "unicorn" that comes in, tells you what needs to be done, and can do all of it. Like the cleaner from breaking bad, but for making your users love you, instead of rolling their corpses in a rug.

Branding, UX/interaction, visual/interface, front end code, motion/video, print/apparel/merch, etc. Truly anything and everything.

Typical contract length is 1-3 months, but there's no fixed rule about that - my role is extremely flexible based on context.

About a decade in the field, formerly at some DC agencies/PBS/Palantir/a recent YC Alum. Won an American Advertising Award for an app that didn't even technically exist at the time.
