> I think its because historically mercenaries would fight less strenuously, and break at the first sign of real trouble as dead men can't collect their pay.

That's debatable. Swiss mercenary pikemen enjoyed two centuries of well-earned respect for their fighting abilities, for instance. Or you can take the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine emperors, or the Gallowglass mercenaries. The issue was more often that many of them would not hesitate to change sides if it was seen as more profitable.
Unfortunately fusion research is not something you can throw unlimited funds at and it would immediately be a reality. There are still hard unsolved problems and the amount people actually capable of solving them is limited and would not change significantly, if their work were better compensated. Something like Wendelstein 7-X took a decade of planning and building because they had to invent the manufacturing tools and construction methods as they went along, not because they had not enough money to finance the project.
So does Eclipse.
Sorry but don't agree at all. Web will continue to be mostly uncensored while content in app store will always be be closely censored.
This is my problem with Unity3d. Just like XNA, they picked a very good language (C#) but then they reduced it to scripting. So basically creating an app became just integrating pre-made chunks of third-party scripts/binaries + some assets from the store sprinkled on top. Furthermore it forces their architectural vision of what components and entities are about and there is no customization available on lower levels.
Video intro pitches?
Id like to tell our story more clearly.
An idea that came up was doing a video intro of our pitch.

Is this a good idea? How successful are they?

I see a lot of about us videos, but will a VC actually take time to watch it?
The "wrap-contrast" example in the draft Figures spec is pretty astonishing: http://figures.spec.whatwg.org/#wrap-contrast

I wonder how well that would actually work in practice!

Microsoft and also IBM now feel sorry about their wrong behaviour, but it is really ridicolous that they say in the TypeScript project "if you want to help us, go to GitHub" ... come on, they have a lot of money and they ask help? Hiring people would be smarter! I went to an IBM meeting talking with the IBM Cloud Leader in Italy and all that hi profile people. All of them use Firefox (no one uses Chrome), did they sponsor Firefox? It seems they are a poor company that now need help.

Shame on you Microsoft and IBM!
You can save satellites - you can order them to rotate instrumentation away from the flare vector, and you can shutdown sensitive electronics or high-gain radios and the like (most satellites have many levels of shutdown for exactly this reason).

I live in Europe, I think that employees need a certain level of protection, but thinking that you can't fire an employee who stops performing after the probation period (for any reason different from medical ones) in my opinion is completely broken. The hiring process CAN'T be a crystal ball. This is how public administrations work in Italy - it is practically impossible to fire a public worker who was hired with the "due process", it's even difficult to fire them if they get caught stealing in the workplace - and the results are a disaster.
I don't necessarily think it's a thing that waiters know about these days - in my (admittedly limited - I'm more of a sandwich and fast food guy) experience of eating out, closing the menus doesn't seem to trigger interaction any sooner.
Not true. You can turn off the power in a nuclear plant pretty much instantly. You can turn it on pretty much instantly. What you can't do is efficiently turn it on and off - it takes time for the reactor pile to warm up after you've dropped the control rods to shutdown.

But there's no specific reason you need to do that - the reactor won't be effected, the control rod circuits are heavily shielded and fail safe these days (i.e. if power does go, the arms holding the rods drop them in automatically when the electromagnets fail).

For a day or 2 of shutdown, you could leave the reactor hot.
Yes.

It is one of the requirements of super speed reading:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_reading

Basically you could train your peripheral vision to read too, not just your fovea. You also train your brain to put them in a buffer and make sense of it. Imagine a cone around the point you focus your vision. Instead of just one word you could read 20 or 30 at the same time. Your brain makes sense of it very fast(with short lines).

Your brain could read multiple lines at the same time and make sense of it, because it is ordered. With long lines the words under another word have no relationship at all, so the buffer has to be enormous, in practice you can't read multiple lines at the same time if they are long.

I could read super fast only(eight times faster than everybody else) if the content is formatted.

For me is so frustrating I created my own tools just for reading.

This has been know for a long time, in the typographers and designers world, formats like pdf have used this since their inception.

But programmers are a different beast. Web pages were functional but ugly and only now they are getting the functionality of pdf-latex twenty years ago.
Let's say I have something that costs me $100, and I know for a fact that (a) if I give it to you, it will make you $1000 richer and (b) you don't have access to any substitute, so you either pay the price I ask or go without.

This is what game theorists call a 'pure bargaining' [1] problem:- reaching a deal makes $900, but we have to decide how to split that between us. Both of us want as big a share as possible, but our main leverage is refusing to reach a deal.

In this situation, I am the ISP; installing a Netflix box costs me $100 for power, bandwidth, whatever. Netflix are the ones that make $1000, as installing the box lets them get more customers. ISPs refuse to install boxes because they want more money than Netflix is offering, and refusing to install is the only way to get it.

wtf, "guilty of not being open". Not being open is a crime now? It's a perfectly valid business strategy.
Cost-benefit was never part of the planning. And they did cheer us as we rolled in. That lasted a few days.

I think the assumption was that it would go like Nicaragua; US invasion led by rebel faction. Chalabi would be installed as puppet govenor. The planners did not expect ethnic or sectarian conflict to be unmanageable; presumably once the oil started flowing the locals would be co-opted with the money.

What they hadn't realised was that "de-Baathification" meant the removal of the entire class and system by which Iraq might be governed, and therefore the destruction of "Iraq" as a state-concept. The replacement parliament was explicitly sectarian, accelerating the split into Sunni-Iraq (now under the control of ISIS), Shia-Iraq (the nominally legitimate government, now being supported by Iran), and Kurdistan.

That's a pretty crazy misuse of the term "communist". Just say "autocracies", the inside setup of typical firms really has nothing to do whatsoever with communism.

> come on, they have a lot of money and they ask help?

They are not going to be able to buy community buy-in that they want, no matter who they hire and what other money they throw around.

Asking the wider populous for their input early (assuming the filtering and acknowledging of that input is done right, and they continue to "play nice" once they've got what they want) is a good thing for both them and the end user: they'll more likely be able to release something right earlier (rather than everyone hating it until version 3).

> did they sponsor Firefox?

I'm going to have to ask you to explain the IBM connection here as I'm just not seeing a logical link between these statements and your point about Microsoft. How is IBM people preferring to use Firefox instead of something else? I wan't aware that IBM had any particular axe to grind in the current browser game.
Facebook not even mentioned!
Yet activation records are still dynamically-allocated from those 8192 byte stacks - they have to be, because Linux runs on SMP machines and the same kernel function could be executing on multiple cores at once. (Also, for big pieces of kide lke the Linux kernel, it'd probably be more expensive not to dynamically allocate them.)
> (anything other than German. "Das Mädchen". Seriously? Das???)

It certainly seems silly, but this is actually an example of one of the few rules in German. The "chen" in "Mädchen" means that it is a diminutive form (of the same word that is known as "maid" in English), and diminutive forms are always neutral in German.

Industrial archaeology is already a thing. For example, efforts by NASA to recover early Mars and Venus images from tapes before the tapes crumble.

>"I'd be inclined to have the company write you an IOU for your cash contributions so far, and split it 50/50, perhaps with one of you getting a tie-breaking share. The company can dispose of your IOU like any other short-term debt of the company at some point in the future when it has the financial wherewithal to do so. [See below about IOUs.] Your vesting clock starts 3 months ago, your partner's starts as of the day when he becomes full-time"

This is something I tried to suggest to my former cofounder. His contribution was merely financial, and he wanted an exorbitant share of equity plus the title of CEO. I tried negotiating with him, but somewhere in the course of it I realized he was not the right person for any startup, and the venture was bound to fail with him onboard. I resigned and now have a startup that is quickly growing with loads of customers.

Hint: you'll need guns. Lots of guns.

Cities are stocked with food and water for few days, but once the supplies are gone, you'll have waves of hungry and desperate people radiating from cities to nearby farms and villages.
If you are on App Engine though chances are you will use the other APIs like the Taasks API. If you run your own software stack instead you can move it wherever without rewriting any code. With App Engine you either rewrite your code or use app scale.

"if someone goes without salary, give them an IOU. Later, .. you'll pay them back in cash ... when the money comes rolling in ... pay back each founder so that each founder has taken exactly the same amount of salary from the company."

This doesn't seem fair. The founder who takes an IOU rather than cash bears the very real risk that he never gets paid back. There should be an interest rate attached to the IOU: something like 15-25% to account for the risk.

So if i understand correct, anyone who steals or temporarily has physical access to your iPhone can access your data including (email, etc)account passwords, which makes the encryption on the device completely useless.

If that's not a serious back door, i don't know what is.. the melodrama seems in order.
Decompiling certainly does not provide the same code or info as reference source.
> what would you need to do to survive?

Guns. Lots of guns.

After the fresh food and water runs out in cities, you'll have masses of people abandoning urban areas in desperate hope to find food. Any settlement nearby will be pillaged.

So if you have a garden, better be prepared to defend it.

You basically want to add public methods addEventListener(), removeEventListener() and a protected fireEvent() method. In Java you have no problem inheriting the interface for these methods. However you want to manually re-implement the damn implementation in each class that vends interface. I can't remember how many times I wrote these...

Why? Just use composition and delegate addEventListener() and removeEventListener() to the member implementing the logic?

It's probably just an IT thing. Many companies opted to deploy Firefox internally as an alternative to IE because it played well with their software management tools (as opposed to Chrome, which only got centralized version management later). In IT/helpdesk settings, you want to know what specific browser version your users are running to ensure intranet apps are compatible.

Because, you know, legacy. Anyone who's used Siebel, Oracle intranet apps, etc. knows what it's like.

I'm probably missing something obvious but if all the founders have vesting schedules who actually owns the company initially? Surely there must be a legal entity that technically owns the shares even if they are contractually obliged to distribute them on the vesting schedule.

With regards to documentation of loans to company and things like that is having it recorded as a company liability (to the named entrepreneur) in the accounts sufficient or was it more formal than that?

Only if they remained calm and organized. When your (electricity-dependent) job is gone your first worry will be securing access to food and medicine. So depending on how much damage the incident does to power grid and how quickly governments react, you may see anything from short-term economical crisis to riots and collapse of the society.

It amazes me a little, and says something about Håkon's perspective, that all of his examples are newspaper pages.

This looks like the makings of a high quality spec from 2004. Granted, CSS should natively support responsive columns, but it's a solved problem. Does he really think that Figure support is what limits web from competing with native? The problem with presentation of web apps has always been that we use a language designed for describing newspaper layouts to structure a dynamic, morphing interface. And its creator wants more succinct descriptors for recreating the above-the-fold of the New York times at variable widths.

It's almost saddening when the creator of something is no longer the guy driving it forward.
When debugging, you usually want to see the exact code that's being run - not a "reference" version which may not have the certain bit of code that you're trying to workaround/call.

The only advantage that the reference code is the variable names are original, and there's a few comments (but no XML documentation?).

Yes, this can reduce the requirement for density, but it can be really annoying—as I described above—that I end up with a massive screen with loads of white space, having to scroll to view more content that could be comfortably presented.
I believe that there is a better reason to ban recursion - it may mask possible execution time of code. Loops are more explicit in that regard. If you are writing a real-time system, you care about those things a lot. Ban of dynamic memory also may be caused by requirement to be real-time.

If only for his detailed knowledge of the disease, yes. One thing that is overlooked when considering the ethics of "that patient is more derserving than others" (see comments about nurses above) is how often throwing everything at a small number of otherwise healthy patients helps finding unexpected cures. It was very true for rich patients with HIV for instance.
I just genned a world where the southern elves were crushed for 70 years by a goblin Civ. 3 queen regents and princesses were put to the sword.

The 4 iteration, resulted in Ivis Voidwinds (or something), the new elf princess who promptly went to explore the wilds and tamed giant dingos, lions, polar bears, bears and a host of other animals.

In 162 she led an army and attacked the goblin civ, pillaging 3 cities in an unstoppable attack till they signed a peace treaty in 163.

In 163 the goblins broke the treaty, at which point she waged war till 250, when world gen stopped. She was victorious in battle and converted 5 conquered sites to Elfdom.

She did this all with only 1 kill to her name, she was a high master strategist.
