Basically, what VexXtreme said, but the operative word is the "might" in

> the money used to buy a share has to go to the seller of the said share, who might in turn use it to consume

It's really simple:

1. When you spend your money on consumption, there is a guarantee that the money is used for real world economic activity.

2. When you spend your money on building your business (the restaurant example in my comment), there is a guarantee that the money is used for real world economic activity.

3. When you put your money into an index fund, there is no guarantee that the money is used for real world economic activity.

It might be used in this way via indirect channels, but there is no guarantee - after all, the money might just remain stationary in a bank account, of which there are many - and so the positive economic effect is most likely less than in the first two cases. (Again, the positive effect for me as an individual who saves is obvious; I'm talking about the effect on economic activity.)

Having lived in Argentina for a number of years it is my opinion that the country has and produces really amazing talented individuals in the sciences. Regrettably, more often than not, this talent has to leave the country in order to be recognized and flourish. The opportunities in a country like Argentina are slim.

There's a dichotomy at play that is, well, sad:

Government in Argentina has been corrupt in more than one form (nepotism, theft of national resources, buying elections, exclusion from the law, oppressive, etc.) for generations.

It's a strange form of socialism where the masses live in progressively deteriorating socioeconomic conditions yet they keep supporting whoever promises a solution even though everyone knows once they achieve power they'll focus on stealing millions from the country rather than to truly help improve it.

Yet, somehow the country seems to be able to produce outstanding talent in certain domains.

And the culture is absolutely fantastic. Warm and caring people with high family values.

An Argie professional I know likes to say: "Argentina is a nice country to have come from".

I also know someone who used to be in the Argentinian equivalent of the US Secret Services, in other words, working inside government at the highest levels. The stories are, well, jaw dropping, to say the least.

And so, in this context, yes, it is really amazing to hear that Argentina can produce something like this. Surely it has to be 100 times harder than anywhere else.

Just want to point out that a cursory search says marijuana deposits about 4x the amount of tar in the lungs as tobacco.

Unless it contributes to increased addiction, the manufacturers generally try and reduce the unhealthy components of the cigarettes - making them more palatable and keeping the addicts alive for longer so they can make more money off of them. There's really no such effort with marijuana as it stands today.

I'm totally unqualified to make this statement, but I'd venture a guess that most of the 'toxins' that are natural byproducts of combustion - not just the tar - are present in significantly higher amounts in marijuana.

Sticking to the 4:1 ratio, someone who smokes 5 joints a day is basically a pack a day smoker.
There is more than an element of truth to this, uncomfortable as it is for many.

Rental America: Why the poor pay $4,150 for a $1,500 sofa
The problem with traditional fundraisers is that the rewards don't align well at all with FOSS projects. I ran a fundraiser for a FOSS project and part of the reason I feel it was successful was because I put a lot of work into coming up with rewards that were a good fit with the community.

The big thing is that most FOSS fundraisers adopt the same perks used by proprietary software. These are typically vanity rewards or early-access. Early access is straight up anti-social when it comes to FOSS. Giving people the ability to steer the project makes a lot more sense.

Of course no one has software for that, so I had to make my own.

Write a better init system than systemd.

Done many times.

...Oh, wait.

You mean to tell me that systemd isn't just an init system? And that it includes, but is not limited to, and I quote [1]:

"init system, journal logging, login management,
device management, temporary and volatile file management, binary format registration, backlight save/restore, rfkill save/restore, bootchart, readahead, encrypted storage setup, EFI/GPT partition discovery, virtual machine/container registration, minimal container management, hostname management, locale management, time management, random seed management, sysctl variable management, console managment, . . ."

They are working on:

"network management, Local DNS cache, mDNS responder, LLMNR responder, DNSSEC verification, IPC in the kernel, time synchronisation with NTP, stateless systems, factory reset, OS/container/app image format, sandboxing of services and apps..."

[1] http://0pointer.de/public/gnomeasia2014.pdf

So what people really mean by "Write a better init system." is "Write a second, competing hulking mammoth like systemd."

> and no worse than pre-generics java

Personally, that was the turning point when Java became palatable. Which is a shame, because Go is all-around a pretty nice language. But writing real, production code, I've felt that I was needlessly repeating myself because of the lack of generics. Specifically, I really wish I could write generics over channels, so I can solve the problems of multiplexing/demultiplexing channels, throttling them, etc exactly once.
Seems that religious entities are the only ones who care enough to try such a project. I am not aware of any other large scale family history project.
Thanks for the answer. But could you clarify something for me? What's the difference between higher-order functions and higher-kinded types?

And, yeah, Java's type system... I'm not going to claim enthusiasm, merely that it seemed adequate for what I wanted it to do.

We're using Docker to solve these kinds of problems:

- Running Jenkins slaves for some acceptance/integration tests that runs in the browser, previously we had to configure multiple chromedrivers to spin up on different ports or be stuck running 1 test per machine. Now we have 6 machines (down from 9) which runs 6 slaves each, so we can parallelize our tests as 36 tests run concurrently. That has significantly improved our deployment time (as these tests are necessary to do a deployment) while reducing costs.

- Migrating our infrastructure (around 70 instances) to AWS VPC, we had our machines running on EC2-Classic. While I had previously done some work automating most applications using Chef we have really managed to fully automate our machines with Docker, it was way easier than solving cookbook dependency and customization issues. We have a couple dozen Dockerfiles that fully explain how our systems run and what are the dependencies for each application.

And that is only in the last month and a half that I began using Docker, I was pretty skeptical before as it was touted almost as a silver bullet. And it comes close to that in many scenarios.

Exactly. In one case I was associated with the work was done with a collaborative research grant. A laboratory had the need for a custom Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). We built the software as they specified but retained ownership of the source. I know it sounds crazy because it's a win, win situation. Then we were able to market/sell that software to labs that had the exact same need (a niche market). Then years later I was able to secure a support contract for the original lab because I was the only one willing to support it. Which has in turn, turned it very specialized freelance work. All of which can be considered recurring revenue.
> Binary log files, which are also prone to corruption and crashes

Why are they more prone to corruption? Software bugs aside they should actually be less prone to corruption, because they allow you to verify if corruption has happened. syslog has no such mechanism.

> Unnecessarily complicated and unfamiliar init script structure. I feel like I went from one that was arguably too verbose to one which is too vague.

Yeah, right...

> The need for unnecessary things like dbus to be run at startup

Why is dbus unnecessary? It’s a great way to do IPC. So great that it will be implemented in the kernel as kdbus.

> Complication of some simple configuration tasks (in my
experience on Arch at least, network configuration was a bitch)

The init system was never responsible for setting up your network. Even before systemd, Arch recommended netcfg/netctl instead of setting it up in /etc/rc.conf.
Which is no less than two testable statements, of which zero have any conclusive scientific evidence.
They aren't always legal - or rather they rarely hold up in the court of law. (USA at least)

What I've been told by my lawyer is basically the only time it will hold up is if you can prove that it was violated and your company was significantly harmed as a result (ex: You took 50 clients with you to the new firm). And the time period was reasonable (ex: 5+ year non-competes are likely never held up as the time period is absolutely unreasonable in almost all cases)

Additionally, it has to be worth it to the company to actually go after the person who violated the agreement - it is civil not criminal.

Which in the end results in a system where they are hardly ever enforced if violated and serve more to scare people from violating them then actually being legally enforceable.

You're absolutely right about the challenges, but mounting SFTP drives locally wouldn't solve the problem - in that scenario, every file would still have to be downloaded to your machine in order to be searched.

It doesn't seem totally unsolvable, though. I mean, if Coda can connect via SFTP then it can almost certainly connect to the server and run commands like awk, grep, find, Silver Searcher, etc. There's no technical reason why Coda couldn't run those commands on the remote host and return their results to you.

That's still quite a frigging challenge, obviously - there's a huge range of Unix utils that may or may not be available on each individual remote host. Coda would have to do some trial-and-error and/or probing on each remote host to see what's available.

Mobile app kickstarters don't do well, because they aren't necessary.

Create the app on weekends and weeknights if you have a full-time job. Then release it and start making revenue.

Then, if you have ideas that need funding to improve the app, go for it.

Most people I talk to won't fund weekend project apps, no matter how good the concept seems. Get it out there and see how the market responds.

Whenever the topic of "simplicity" in software comes up, I feel obligated to point to the superb "Simple Made Easy" talk:

http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

From my personal perspective, I do not see Go achieving the kind of simplicity Rich talks so eloquently about. Instead, Go seems much more like an "easy" language.

An example of easy versus simple in the OP's article is pointing to on boarding: Sure, your on boarding of new engineers may be /easier/ because Go is an ostensibly "simple" (they actually mean small) and familiar syntax. But that does not imply any correlation with writing simple software. I would argue the difficulty of writing abstractions in Go (especially around channels) actually tends to yield the opposite!

Much like ORMs are a trap because they seem simple, so too are technologies which have such a specious quality of simplicity. It is important to establish how a given technology actually achieves simplicity in practice and I do not see how this article argues that successfully--that is not to say Go cannot achieve simplicity, but merely that this article does not seem to make a solid case, in my opinion.
Without quantitative metrics, the responsiveness is just way better than Mavericks. With Mavericks I just felt like I was waiting for it all the time, even on a maxed out laptop with SSD.

The trade off is that I really hate the way Yosemite looks but I can live with the tradeoff.

You're asking why you should pay for software that is offered for free as a trial?

Because otherwise you're breaking the law, not to mention screwing whoever put in the hard work to create something you obviously find valuable.

Marketing consumer apps is REALLY hard. I can't possibly overstate that. It's expensive as hell and requires a lot of hustle on your part.

The reason it's so hard is that consumers don't want to download apps and rarely do. So asking consumers to just download and try your app is hard enough, but you're actually asking them to pay for it ahead a time. That's a tall order.

I'll also give you some more honest feedback than others seem to have been. It's a great design and idea, but it's almost impossible to get people to create a new habit.

If people weren't already tracking their baby's every move, they're not going to start doing it now unless the benefit is really, really clear.

A good example is fitness/calorie tracking. That's something that a pretty large percentage of people bounce off of, and the reward is feeling better, living longer, and looking better. That's a pretty big reward, and it's still not an easy thing to get people to do. (Though I should note that people have actually been doing that activity for a long time.)

So this is a really steep hill for you to climb, and it may not be monetizable in the end. That's ok, though, because you're done a fantastic job so far and will always be able to point to this product to show that you can execute. That's really valuable for the rest of your career.

My suggestion, which a VC gave me years ago, is to choose metrics for success (number active users, dollars made, etc.) and choose a target date. If you don't hit a goal for those metrics by that date, walk away from the project. If you don't have a concrete way to cut yourself off, you'll allow hope to string you along forever. Trust me, I've been there more than once!

Very factual and concise (the report is 15 pages excluding appendices). As may have been known, the AG does not apparently care about users renting out shared rooms (or at least, one at a time). Some salient points below.

> 1,406 hosts (six percent) acted as "Commercial Users," running larger
operations that administered from three to 272 unique units

> In 2013, over 4,600 unique units were each booked as private short-term
rentals for three months of the year or more. Of these, nearly 2,000 units were
each booked as private short-term rentals on Airbnb for at least 182 days — or
half the year. While generating $72.4 million in revenue for hosts, this
rendered the units largely unavailable for use by long-term residents. [...]
Units dedicated primarily or exclusively to private short-term rentals accounted
for an increasing share of revenue over time.
