Its not crazy pills, its that you see the current system and your place in it (i.e. largely getting what you want) as somewhat natural, thus opposition to your position seems somewhat "crazy".

Alternatively, if you don't think there's anything natural about such a system and one's place in it, you can see an economic system as a socially created malleable artifact underpinning conflict and competition between people's competing interests, and your interests currently directly conflict with and deny other people their interests and desires.

Its not that you're a nerd. Its not even solely that the nerds are making money. If you were all making money building condos off in some unpopulated desert somewhere, i don't think anyone in San Fran would give two hoots.

Its that money is being used to elicit social power and change against people who have disparate interests, but who don't have as much money and thus have very little option in our current system to have their desires recognised or valued.

People with money are doing things that are against the interests of a group of people without as much money who feel they have a historical connection to the area.

I'm not saying either side is right, but its pretty easy to understand where they're coming from and I think it requires some pretty shocking naivette along the lines of "why won't these damn plebs just be happy to get out of our way and thank us for our presence and money" to think they don't have a point and genuine grievances. (and one isn't doing much to gain much sympathy for nerds by not seeing that).

What does success look like here?

Are you purely looking for additional income? If so, how much risk are you prepared to take on, are there any industries you don't want to work in, and what's your income goal?

Or are you looking to make income AND do something else? (That's the case for most people - very few people are just looking for money at the end of the day.)

If so, in addition to the questions above, what's the "something else"? Do you want to use skills you enjoy? Learn new skills? Help people? Help less fortunate people? Build something?

You've already mentioned you want to develop your sales skills. Why do you want to sell physical products specifically? Do you want to build something, or just do sales?
> Any bad move will be caught immediately by the community and routed around

And go where ? We don't even have an alternative when we have the time to build it, do you think we will be able to build one when everything goes down ?

I agree with you that there are no viable alternative for the moment, and we should at least put those TLSA records. You will notice that I was complaining specifically about DNSSEC, not about DANE; as long as we have a secure way to transmit those TLSA records, everything is fine.

A slightly better thing than what we have today would be:

- Deploy those TLSA records, both in DNS servers and applications

- Have everyone use its own resolver, or at the very least a resolver they really trust (if we want to benefit from the cacheability of DNS)

- Transmit DNS records through a secure channel such as DNSCurve

The advantage being that these are all available today with little modifications.

Is a review the same as a critique? I'm not so sure, but I do kind of agree with you, it did feel a little thin on the ground. That said, I'm now going to read this book, so it "reviewed" it enough to help me the reader make a decision.
Didn't the tobacco companies also spend money to discredit scientists and peer-reviewed articles and seed misinformation about the real risks of smoking, all while they were sitting on that mortality data? I think that was the real problem.

Israel Palestine Conflict – Israel Palestine Conflict 2014 | 10 07 2014
I don't dispute your points: it is very expensive and there are problems.

So, at the risk of oversimplifying, your preferred approach would be to stop the F-35 program (or programs) and start a few new different aircraft programs, and trying to depend on existing or mild developments as well?

It would not be cheap either, and it would take time.
How To SURVIVE BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR
Learning Ruby on Rails – the resources crossroads
Successful people often insist that their success was not random, and attribute it to some specific quality (persistence, courage, the capacity to be alone, etc.) even though there are tons of other people who had the same quality and still failed to be successful. It's fundamentally difficult for us to accept the fact that even Shakespeare wouldn't be able to teach us how to "unleash our inner Shakespeare", and that most people who want to be special will never get what they want.

The firefox addon does something very close to this. When you save a bookmark, a window pops up, with all the necessaries, and a text field for notes, and a tag field that you can type in. There are usually suggested tags below that, which you can use by clicking them; I think the suggestions come partly from tags you already have, and partly from the target content.

Ask HN: Why is the front page stale?
HN is one of maybe two sites that I've checked daily for the past few years (and the only site that has been stable in that role), mostly because (a) I found many stories that were relevant, interesting and exciting, and the list of stories would see a good amount of turnover—only the most popular 3 or 4 stories would remain for more than a day or two.

It seems this has changed in 2014, to the point where 10+ links on the front page remain for at least a day, sometimes 2 or 3 days. HN feels like it's lost some of its freshness.

Could this just be an effect of a wider audience (many posts on the front page get 100+ karma before they start dropping, whereas I remember 100+ felt more substantial in the past)? Is there movement towards increasing the decay to match increased user activity, to preserve the fluidity of the front page?

Mercurial vs. Git: How Mercurial scales better
What is often overlooked in these cases is the topic of plausible deniability, which is rarely discussed, because it's so rarely implemented.

Hating on Email: Quotes from P. Graham, F. Wilson, J. Crook, MG Siegler
NP-complete is an unbreakable wall, strewn with the bloodied corpses of enthusiastic heuristic authors.

You can only break it if your problem domain was never NP-hard in the first place (e.g. sparse or some other exploitable structural features). Very very fast means nothing on a true NP-hard problem for quite modest n.

Note the author had to include a spurious constraint to get his system to converge, despite it being quite a small task in the first place. My point was that this approach has fundamental reasons why it won't scale to real programming tasks, of which the interesting ones that programmers get wrong all the time are likely to be the true NP-complete type.
I would lean towards hiring devs, even if remotely, as opposed to outsourcing.

Especially if your startup may be handling users' private keys, you will want a trustworthy domestic dev team. The last thing you want is millions of dollars (or bitcoins!) worth of your users' deposits to disappear without a trace overseas.

Honest feedback from a quant working for an asset manager: This is not (yet) useful. None of these queries even come close to being a real question a financial researcher would ask.

What's a real question like? here are examples which your system doesn't even try to handle.

* companies in S&P500 with more than 20% of their revenue coming from China

* $TSLA Beta with technology sector (returns the wrong answer).

* https://www.pennywhale.com/app/queries/execute?utf8=%E2%9C%9... (this produced a serious error on your server)

If you want to answer trivial questions your product will fail. nothing you've done isn't done better by Google RIGHT NOW.

Not trying to discourage you but this just doesn't solve any existing problem. All you have is a pretty interface to a tool that does one thing poorly.

If you can actually solve 15% of the real problem with converting natural language questions into financial queries and return accurate, well formatted data, you will have a serious product. Right now you are nowhere close.

Interplanetary flight in I-War 1 & 2 was done with the inertia-less LDS drive (same as Elite: Dangerous super-cruise), you practically didn't do it in Newtonian mode opposed to the previous Elite sequels where everything was done in a single Newtonian mode, which also featured realistic orbital dynamics, moving celestial bodies and freeform planetary re-entry.

That said Elite: Dangerous regular flight physics are still Newtonian, even more so than I-War series as it features rigid body dynamics and not a point mass, but the ships have very strong maneuvering thrusters a flight control system computer to counteract the skidding and keep it within a certain speed limit, but you can partially turn it off.

Google launches new venture fund for European startups
This issue has come up multiple times. Anyone that will pay you money for your tool will need the source of the information and the date associated with it. On top of this a link to where the data originated is likely going to be essential. You're tool _still_ hasn't broken past the minimum requirement of doing a single thing better than any tool that kind of solves this problem.

When you don't study them and just know that they work because you have taken them, they work just as well as prayer and Reiki.
Why men interrupt
Why delete a comment I mostly quoted? Seems like an attempt at gamesmanship.

Well, c'est la vie!
I have overall two main comments to make:

Point 1: Your site is currently very oriented towards anime (as if the title didn't make that clear). That's not a bad thing, of course, but you are advertising the site as "for geeks", both here and in the logo's tagline. So how about geeks that don't like anime? Or that like it, but don't want to be associated with the word "otaku"? It seems to me you could benefit from a slightly more focused approach - I know more than one geek that could not tell me what "Otome" is, much less "Asian Balljointed Dolls" (which is one of the first things you see).

Point 2: I think you might want to simplify your user interface a bit. Check Facebook and Deviantart, for instance: they ask your name, email, sex and birthday, and that's it. LinkedIn asks for even less. In contrast, I count 14 fields + 8 extra for "Otaku Match", all at once. Check what OkCupid does, too. I'm sorry I can't give you any specific link about user interface design, but feel free to PM me if you can't find it yourself and I see what I can find.

Finally, small bug report: the "members" page throws an error ("Geocode was not successful for the following reasons: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT") on my computer, and you might want to do something about the "Location: --Not in the United States--" fields, because you have a lot of activity from Non-US members. Displaying the country should be enough.
As much as they give you, minus a few hours. Give the impression that you can meet/beat deadlines, but be sure to utilize as much time as you can and deliver something that's of the calibre they're expecting. For example, if they give you 3 days for a project as simple as this, they probably expect something production-ready: polished, cross-browser tested, responsive, etc. Deliver exactly that in under 72 hours and you should be fine.

Yes, of course. But "idiot marketing guy" isn't the worst case scenario, nor is it even the worst plausible scenario. Job loss and inability to get health insurance aren't hypothetical concerns... laws have been written about this because they happen, at scale. While I'm inclined to think the regulations as they stand today are heavy-handed and more expensive than they need to be to get the job done, that doesn't negate the fact that they exist for a reason, a reason that isn't just hypothetical but happened a lot.

Deconstructing The Mentor Manifesto
So what, that changes absolutely nothing about the monopolistic system of our infrastructure. All this will lead to is hidden collusion on the part of the providers just like is done in the mobile phone and data sector.

We have a failed government with incompetent and neutered regulators and legislators that are operating in a system that is so deeply corrupt that the best of intentions cannot generate any kind of real momentum. There really needs to be a focus on bifurcating the infrastructure from services. What is wrong with us that we pay taxes to pay for functions of government when all that happens is that those taxes go to subsidizing the privatization of government services and then being overcharged by that very private sector we stood up.

Infrastructure is a core function and purpose of government, without it being under socialized responsibility and control there is no purpose for government.

Another example that is so blatantly obvious but no one seems to see for all the trees is electronic payment processing; why is there no almost zero cost electronic payment infrastructure that essentially serves the same purpose as paper money. I am not at all for the abolition of paper money, especially in light of the reminder that government is not our friend or anyone's friend but its own, but there should be a government / public infrastructure for payment processing. It's actually rather shocking that there is no such system and it is purely corruption of the worst kind that is preventing it.

Ever wonder why it is rather difficult to use a Visa/MC/AE in Germany, it's because the electronic payment / money system is a pseudo public infrastructure and highly regulated. There is no money to be creamed and siphoned off of the economy by the big payment processors.

Something the startup community does not take into account is that it is only as successful and has as much wiggle room as the big cartel controlled sectors permit. So you built a service or a product, you're just mucking around while you still have to pay protection money to the mob.

Sometimes I wish that efforts like Dwolla would gain a lot more traction. Their payment processing fee is fractions of the extortion of the mob, yet they can't seem to catch on. What is wrong with us, why would we be ok with having your profits siphoned off? Those huge payment processing fees are profits that you pay for not good reason.

The same problem affects this technology, there is absolutely no reason for any ISP to implement this technology any time soon. They get away with extortion for shitty services, why would they provide exponentially faster service for anything but a lot more as they seesaw up expectation that "of course, it's faster so I should pay more"
