As for the author spending 5k on their dog... that is why you have this thing called insurance. I'd rather spend a tiny monthly fee in case something goes wrong than money I don't have if it does. Doesn't he have insurance for his overpriced iProducts too?
The lipid hypothesis did it. The idea that fat and dietary cholesterol cause obesity and heart disease.

Here in Poland there are still many dishes that require lard as a cooking oil - "chrust" or angel wings, a friend pastry known all over the Slavic world is one that comes to mind.

Heavily salted lard, often with bits of bacon, apples and onion is used as a spread on dark bread. It's amazingly delicious, especially in the winter with some sour pickles. These are traditional winter foods here - salted lard would hold forever and sour pickles are a seasonal delight.
Hey sleazy or not this gets a lot of attention to a important issue which we desperately need.

I just included my background to point out the fact that my explanation is purely academic. Right now I cannot say whether your congratulations was sarcastic or not, but thank you ;)

To your answer:
I wanted to point out what is being valued and how it works. In this case the only thing that is being valued is the income. All risks associated must be accounted for. This was also supposed to be a hint to another question regarding how to value a website that does not yet create revenue: here you value future estimated revenue.

To your argument: You are absolutely right, of course. But still you start with expected future income.

Similarly, icu argued that you do not have just one figure. I completely agree. But that also happens if you consider a range of assumptions instead of concrete numbers. And even if you have a limited amount of potential buyers and they might pay more or less, you have to have an idea of whatever your are selling is worth.
Surely your knowledge of Mafia is based on movies !
I think that's a little unfair to KDC; at the very least, it is no more a complete picture of the man than "John Doe is a felon" is of anyone else. There are a lot of other people who see Assange as nothing more than "rapist on the run".

Dotcom hasn't stopped fighting his imprisonment and the seizure and loss of his equipment, business, and customers' data, even though he's already won far more than maybe anyone else in his position could have hoped to win in this age. He easily could have gone back home, moved to another country, and faded into obscurity; instead, he relaunched the service that got him into so much trouble in the first place, and has seemingly made it his mission to embarrass the governments involved as much as possible.

Whether his motives are entirely selfish, for his own aggrandizement -- as I suspect they probably are -- or more altruistic, I'm still glad he's pouring so much of his resources into this.
I think base instincts and interests override any interest in acting. It's easier to pull up your favourite porn and hope no one cares or pays your actions any attention than it is to speak up and be seen as that guy walking against the crowd.

I also think "I've got nothing to hide" is overwhelmingly more popular than people understanding the slippery slopes involved.
I've used Tcl and Scheme fairly extensively so it's interesting to compare them. Scheme has highly developed macros, and many implementations have non-hygienic macros along with syntax-rules. Most of the coders I know say it's rare to use anything other than the hygienic system, which is pretty easy to learn and quite powerful.

Tcl doesn't have comparable macros, though some writers say in Tcl coding, the whole thing is like writing a bunch of macros anyway, but I'm not sure I buy that.

I'm also not entirely clear what you meant by "user-defined interpretive operators ...". Current Tcl versions provide many facilities for specifying semantics of expressions (proc, ensembles, interpreters, lambdas, etc.) and the ability to redefine most any operator or built-in function if one so desires.

The philosophy of "it means what I say it means" can lead to strange constructions, but that is a basis for describing Tcl as "macro-like" in its abundant, highly flexible features. The many ways it reflects Lisp/Scheme-like traits is truly part of its appeal.
Yes and large co bosses also behave in a similar fashion. Very often the kind of people Mafia deals with is the one that normally does not have anything other then their life to lose, but when it comes to large co bosses they are dealing with people who have too much to lose and hence a mere threat of legal action works even if that legal action is totally frivolous.
Thanks for the short explanation.
heh. Reminds me of agency break-ins in London. All of the Apple gear would be taken, and some of the better looking screens. But the ugly 5 times more expensive PC laptops were left there.
All of what you list is about a generation or more away. I'm 39. I have some sort of relationship to the cold war and Iran-Contra. But I suspect I'm an outlier even in that respect, in that I was 15 when the SSSR finally collapsed, and I know most of my friends at school at that time had only a vague understanding of what was going on and rarely paid attention to politics. Most of them would probably not be able to explain anything about Iran-Contra. And for me as well, Bay-of-Tonkin is something out of the history books, that would have been covered in minutes (maybe it is given more attention in US schools) and never mentioned again.

Don't underestimate just how short lived collective memory is.

I'm from Norway. In 1996 massive illegal political surveillance was rolled up in Norway. The agency that is now the Police Security Service was found to have carried out extensive illegal phone taps and other surveillance for decades, primarily targeting the Norwegian left. It was all over the news, and included its fair share of scandals, such as when one of the members of parliament investigating the surveillance uncovered that he was being subjected to illegal surveillance during his work on investigating the illegal surveillance.

I personally know people who where subjected to it, one of whom security service staff would taunt in public about fights he'd had with his wife in his own home to make it clear to him they listened to everything they said.

Yet during debates about Snowden etc. in Norway now, this is rarely mentioned unless I bring it up, and most people seems shocked at the idea that something like this could happen in Norway - despite the extensive evidence that was uncovered of decades of surveillance like this that culminated in a system where people could even apply to get copies of their files, and a lot of people got a lot of files that showed a lot of completely ridiculous surveillance that served no real purpose.
That's such a central problem though! The messenger is always part of the message so it has to be a "good guy" or the message gets tainted.
It did have a tcp/ip stack but it wasn't installed by default, it was one of the optional extras.

What it didn't have was a web browser, you needed the plus pack for that.
And she was the one with a safe copy of the NSA documents once Greenwald disovered his copy was corrupted. That's why David Miranda went to Europe and was detained at Heatrow.
The protagonist of The Jungle is Polish. How popular is that novel in Poland?
KDC is a convicted felon in Germany, has 10 or more counts against him and has had a 2 year suspended sentence which he did not contest.

He's also been involved in setting up a ponzi scheme and stole 1.5M in a 'pump and dump'.

I won't take a word of that back.
That is true but then USA is a Republic where the rule of law matters more than will of the people. The only way people's will can be executed is by first making it a law, at that point all the people who have an interest against the law and unite and put a defense.

However there is a clever trick that the current President has used. Pass laws that are ridiculously long and large. When you pass a law that is 1000 pages long with another 1000 pages of appendixes, no sensible man can read and make sense of it and hence does not have much credible ground to oppose it.

"You think clause 9, subsection B poses a problem for X ? We have taken care of in clause 204 sub-claue 11c when taken into context of Annex. Z" a trick that was mastered by British and Indians.
Ask HN: Review My Idea - Customer Engagement on Mobile

Living Standards: “Who Needs IANA?”
It's making a difference. Maybe not the difference we all want, but the Snowden Leaks have made the National Surveillance Agency a worldwide topic of conversation.

Surveillance was sold to the public under vague terms: "we only use it to catch terrorists", "it's for your safety", "nobody's reading your email", "if you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about" ... and now there's solid evidence that these are all lies, and have been lies for a long time.

The man-on-the-street might be OK with surveillance to catch terr'ists, but they're not OK with a more personal form of surveillance, where someone, somewhere, might be looking at them at some point.

So our job is to continue to have these conversations about what kind of surveillance is actually happening, and what the implications are. New Zealand has been politically apathetic about surveillance so far; tonight's event might begin to change that tide.

And even in my small town, working with a lot of people who know only a little bit about computers, we've gotten a lot of unprompted questions about surveillance, and who to trust, and what to avoid. We've seen a number of customers that are moving, bit by bit, away from Google products, because they now perceive "Google = surveillance". Again, unprompted -- we don't nudge people in one way or another on this stuff.

Talk to more folks. I guarantee you'll find other people that are talking about it.

Great move.

If you just want to invest, and take your hands off, this is great. It means you have less work managing, so you can make smaller 'bets'... err, I mean investments.

Also means the team can get on with it, and have to spend less time managing investors. Yes, some start ups do spend a lot of time doing stuff just to present nicely to investors. From taking days off working on product preparing the office so it looks more professional, to preparing speeches, and developing further pitches.

For most of us, the US government can not walk into our server room and take the hardware, nor launch a drone strike, because we're in countries where that would not be a viable approach even if we were high value targets. Much less if we're seen as just "nice to have" to get access to more data.

I agree with you, though, that the real threat is not the NSA for most of us. But many of us do have users, and do actually value the privacy of our users (and for those of us in EU countries, we have a legal obligation to safeguard the personally identifiable data we store) and so it is still of interest to learn about what we can do.

For many of us it is also a matter of principle and/or political viewpoints that this surveillance needs to be countered and stopped. If the public is prepared to remain complicit by not voting out the people who continue to deny the existence of these programs and/or continue to refuse to stop them, then we need to seek other alternatives. (Note that I explicitly avoided singling out the US in this part, because I live in the UK: GCHQ is as large and a problem as the NSA, yet the British public appears to not care at all)
While I find Dotcom to be a epitome of a shill, I doubt Greenwald or Snowden would back this particular claim if they truly believed it was false.

Both Snowden and Greenwald have choosen to honour the truth above their own safety and security. Both of them are also acutely aware of the fact that standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Dotcom reflects poorly on their own integrity.

Maybe the USG leaked this email as a 'false flag' in order to make Greenwald look a fool when it gets proved as false, or it is true, and Greenwald and Snowden are right to back Dotcom in this particular argument, whether or not he is a crook or not.

A US movie company doing back-room deals (on behalf of the USG) with NZ politicians, in order to get someone extradited for alleged copyright infringement is just downright dirty and a waste of public money. It is corrupt corporatism at it's finest.

If it is true, I hope the shit hits the fan. However, as many others have pointed out. The fact that a politician is dirty is not an automatic guarantee that the voting public won't vote for him.

VEHICLE RECALLS
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act gives the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) the authority to issue vehicle safety standards and make manufacturers recall cars that have safety defects or do not meet Federal Safety Standards. Consumer complaints and common repairs for a particular year, make and model are considered by NHTSA to define whether a defect trend may exist.

Is this a way to discredit Assange?
I'm being open minded to the idea that my definition of value here isn't everyone's so I'm excluding cents. My own watch is expensive (by my thinking) would meet either criteria but I could see myself maybe one day buying a watch that topped $10,000.

Maybe.

Being in a different country didn't help Kimdotcom.

GCHQ is a different problem to the NSA - they appear to try to obey the law but have weak oversight and scrutiny. There are at least some politicians who don't want to give GCHQ more power and who think they need better regulation.
> Edit: oh, you'd have to import the Chinese one yourself into the US to make sure it doesn't get its firmware "updated" somewhere in the suppliers chain.

Remember the pictures of Cisco gear allegedly intercepted by the NSA on its way out to customers? Unless you carry that router with you on a flight, you have little guarantee other than hoping you're too insignificant for them to pay attention.
Step up. Stop complaining. This is what we got.

EDIT: I assume your "No" is a reply to "Stop complaining". Unfortunately, your attitude reflects a "No" to the stepping up part as well. Which is fine, if your goal is to complain rather than to change things :)

In fact, the central problem here is how to step up and be part of the solution. It's a question I ask myself, and one that you should consider asking yourself if you care about the issues at hand.

Never heard of it before, sorry. Though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle says he's Lithuanian and his name "Jurgis Rudkus" is also rather Lithuanian than Polish. I believe Lithuanians do not like to be mistaken for Poles, despite (or maybe because of) much common history.
I assumed that this 'customer' was a trojan horse, put there by the NSA.

Well, that's what I'd do anyway.

It goes like this - Stellar gets offered a big hosting contract that they aren't going to turn away. They don't do any due diligence on this new customer, and if they did, they probably hit a couple of USG Cayman Islands dead-ends anyway. They install this company's servers inside their own network.

It's exactly like the stock market, on with larger percentages.

Most people own their stocks totally passive, active shareholders are rare and usually have a big stake in the company.

If everybody who is a shareholder of Google would show up at the shareholder meeting there would be a bit of a space problem.

So passive investors are not rare at all, what is strange about this announcement is that most VCs tout their active role as a plus. This company seems to be taking the opposite tack.

IMO that's wrong, investors can be a useful sounding board and if they automatically agree with every C level decision then you lose a very valuable source of criticism.

After all, when compared with the first Oberon version, Go only needs a few more primitives in runtime and unsafe, Kernel and SYSTEM in Oberon respectively.

This is what attracted me to the language in first place.

How hard would it be to make a torrent:// protocol extension that allows web like content to be stored in torrents? Obviously that would only work for static content (unless the creation of such torrents could be used to preserve state) but this seems like an interesting development.

Decentralized hosting of content that can easily be browsed seems like a useful thing to have.
