Right, I guess you could define everything into a new MIME type, but I think that would be quite a weird thing to do and wouldn't really be faithful to the idea of MIME types. This MIME type would stand for a type that nobody would be directly using for files, but it would only stand for some internal intermediate representation (I will not be able to convince people using RDF to switch to my new strange format instead of TriG or N-Quads!). And that means that there would be two MIME types involved for a single file: the actual type (such as application/rdf+xml or application/trig) and then the type for normalization and hash calculation (something like "text/rdf+selfref;sorted="). I think this shows that MIME types are not a straightforward solution to the given problem and I think this justifies to introduce this new level and a new scheme for the trusty URI modules (e.g. "RA").
I cannot really answer this, as I am not familiar at all with JWT/HMAC...
Copyright cannot apply to facts, like the entity relation "paper X cited paper Y". So this is not a copyright issue.

However, publishers maintain databases of citations to which they sell access. Such databases are protected under sui generis database rights in many countries (e.g. EU, Russia, but not USA) - these are automatic property rights that recognise the effort of compiling a database, similar to but distinct from copyright (in that they don't have to involve any creativity).

Because there is no sui generis database right in the USA, I doubt that's the reason either - perhaps google just don't consider it a priority.
I don't believe this to be the case, unless the definition of 'driven by' is different to what I understand it to be. Can you provide more information?

No, there can be contained URIs that are not trusty (probably the majority of contained URIs will be of that type). You can verify the entire reference tree as long as you follow trusty links, but of course this cannot go on indefinitely. Furthermore not all resources have the form of what I call a "digital artifact" (e.g. foaf:knows does not stand for a digital artifact), but they reach out to the real world (these URIs might not even return a representation, i.e. they might not be URLs).

Datensparsamkeit under "assess"? As in "Let's assess whether we'd like to follow the law"?
Stories like this really make the case for open source app servers for me. The breadth of functionality they offer is so wide that when something does go wrong not only is it way easier to debug the issue and find out whether your code or the application server is at fault but also once you found the issue you can actually fix it yourself.

We run a custom patch set against our application server (which we contribute upstream) and I couldn't imagine using a closed source app server. We have other teams that work with closed source app servers and they really envy us.
Some questions:

I watched some of a Startup School video, maybe the
most recent one. Ron Conway was interviewed, and
there were other speakers.

And I just read Jessica Livingston's talk

What Goes Wrong, 10/25/2012

at

http://www.foundersatwork.com/1/post/2012/10/what-goes-wrong...

and from the post by Randell in this thread at

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8474689

I will start with Livingston's

"Making Something People Want is Hard"

Here's a suggestion of another way:

Step (1) Problem.

Pick a problem where there is no doubt that the
first good or a much better solution will result in
enough eager users/customers to make a financially
successful business. That is, we want a problem
where plenty of people want and will like the
solution very much. Here we want no doubt. Maybe
the ideal such problem would be a safe, effective,
cheap, one pill cure for any cancer.

Step (2) Solution.

For the solution, to exploit Moore's law, etc., stay
in information technology and there do some original
research.

Step (3) Implementation.

Write the software to do the data manipulations
specified by the research.

So, the result should be a solution to Livingston's

"Making Something People Want is Hard"

Livingston also warns about co-founder disputes.

She has

"Not making something people want is the biggest
cause of failure we see early on. (The second
biggest is founder disputes.)"

So, here's a solution to the second biggest "cause
of failure" -- be a solo founder.

But Livingston also has

"single founder and it's hard to do a startup as a
single founder."

Here she loses me: There are a lot of successful
businesses, small to giant, that had solo founders.
So, I'm lost on why it is such a bad idea for a solo
founder to try to get a company going. Sure, once
the company is growing rapidly, then take on, say,
an office manager, a guy to run the server farm, a
programmer, a marketing guy, etc. as needed.
I upgraded yesterday. Installer was stuck on 99% for maybe an hour or so, but said something like 1 minute remaining. Open the installer log to see if anything is actually happening. At first I didn't and thought it was stuck, so kept restarting the Mac and reinstall, also tried install from USB.
Hugh has been an inspiration to climbers (including myself) for years. He'd disappeared from my personal radar for a few years, and it's great to see that he's still doing amazing things.

He seems to personify determination. I still think the joint first ascents of "Vandals" in the Shawangunks [1] (which included Hugh) are one of the milestones of recent climbing history.

> a concentrated shot of survival bias

Depends on whether any of speakers had a track record of two or more successful startups. Not advising, not managing, but actually starting a company from zero and growing it into a meaningful business.

Because, as they say, once - you're lucky, twice - you're good, a bunch of once'es is a selection bias example.
The European Courts aren't really a higher courts than the national high courts, just ask the German one. Which, yes, does include academics and even civil servants with extensive background in law. And unlike say in America, the academic qualification you need to be a judge is higher than the one you need to be a lawyer, in the first place: Whether your professional choice then is to become a judge or something else changes nothing about your qualification.
Yes, much like how "atoms" are a useful but ultimately inaccurate (because subatomic physics) model.
>but what if a government is elected that decides that reproductive rights, equal pay, race equality, pot legalization etc. are an issue...Are you still ok with back doors?

To statists, the state is infallible. If race inequality is the standard codified by law, then race inequality is good, because the government has declared it so. So many people operate under these assumptions, giving exception only to a few partisan issues which they've never even thought critically about.
I think he/she means "easier to grasp", not to design.
> And finally, here is one thing NEVER to do when asking for more money. Never ask for it nor justify it because of your need. If you work for a for-profit entity, as most of us do, your need is completely irrelevant. While I can personally be hugely empathetic to your financial needs and hardships, I cannot justify increasing your compensation because of them — that is unfair to the company and to any coworker who puts in the same effort but walks away with less.

Interesting note on this... At GrantTree we're (still in the early stages of) trying something different. Since all pay is open and we use something called the "advice process" to make decisions, to change their salaries people need to make an open proposal to the whole company, gather feedback, and then make a decision (note: they do not need to incorporate all or any of the feedback; we trust them to make the right decision).

With this in mind, the proposal is meant to cover 5 key angles:

1) What do I deserve?

2) What do I need?

3) What is the market rate for my role?

4) What can the company afford?

5) What is good for GrantTree?

We explicitly ask people to include their needs in this. They are people, they have needs - ignoring that is stupid, in my opinion. If we have someone on staff who is contributing greatly to the company but has high mortgage payments, and I pay them less because I have this other person who is contributing the same but has much lower monthly costs, and I pay the first the same as the second, I will lose the first because they can't afford to keep this job.

Obviously we're still experimenting with this (about 3 months in), but I think that considering the needs of the person is essential - particularly in a decision model where they make the decision anyway, so they will obviously be considering their own needs as part of the equation! But even if someone else was making the decision, considering the person's needs is absolutely mandatory if you expect the person to also consider the company's needs.

In other words, if you don't care about their needs, why should they care about yours? "Oh really, this has been a bad year so you don't want to give me a pay raise even though my market rate has increased? Fuck you, I'm off."

The author's chief complaint is that Google Chrome Helper obscures the source of crashes/hangs, making diagnosis that much harder. The article is badly written, sure; but the workaround does allows you to isolate suspect content from everything else.

I checked out the http://www.tarsnap.com/ website and it looks like very interesting technology but extremely unfriendly to the "ordinary" user. Perhaps not designed for ordinary users, but seems like there is a lot of potential for improvement to the marketing (which is exactly the type of content that you can teach in a startup school). They prefaced the entire content by saying that mostly you can't learn startups from a lecture, because the most important information you need to know is what the customer wants and it's specific to each market. You can learn something more general about marketing and user acquisition.

Personally I've been watching the videos online. I think the information is incredibly valuable because it's from people who have some of the most experience in the world at advising and working with startups. Even more useful if you have no experience and no prior education on what it is like to start a new venture.
Seconded. With a small amount of experience over a long period of time dealing with customer support, my observation is that most people assume passwords are stored in plain-text, and don't even consider an alternative. At my current place of employment, we frequently get people phoning up, asking for their password; some seem a bit put-out when we explain we cannot provide it.

As people who know more about this, it is our responsibility to ensure those who know little, and care even less, don't have to worry about it. On the surface, this initiative by Facebook is an excellent example.

It really does get quite amusing when you see "oh, two blocked scripts and one looks like their CDN, no problem" and temporarily enable them. Then the page reloads and 13 more scripts are blocked, so you make some reasonable guesses and it turns out the site won't play the goddamn video unless you also load some disqus comments, send a referrer header, allow something that looks like an XSS attack and sacrifice a goat.

I end up just leaving two browsers with different profiles loaded half the time, one of them tweaked to be as revealing as possible, for loading stuff I just want to see and don't want to play unblocking games with.

I agree. I notice that when I do imperative programming, I think through a sequence of steps, usually writing them down on paper if there is any complexity. When I "think in SQL" I read out the "from" and "where" clause in my head (or out loud). There is definitely a verbal element in my SQL thinking.

Considering that every single of these personal assistants comes from private companies, ads are much more likely. I also like that political is a dirty word now.

Not to mention what you "fear" is already true, it's called Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.
If advertising wouldn't work, there wouldn't be so much of it.

Look at yourself critically. How many of your last year's purchasing decisions were based on actual need? And of those, how many times could you have bought something cheaper instead? And no rationalisations about cost and quality and long-term amortisations and whatnot, please.

Yes, poor people suck at managing their money. But at the same time the advertising industry focusses on them. A lot of price-based advertising relies on people not looking at it closely enough. Yay, free phones with mobile contracts. I can buy a new sofa for only $50/month (over the next ten years). This ringtone costs only 99 cents (if you subscribe for 3 ringtones per week at a cost of $2.97/week and all the ones you want are in different subscriptions and don't forget the offer code you originally subscribed with or you'll have a hard time cancelling the subscription when you notice it a month from now).

Our culture places a lot of emphasis on status symbols and wealth. If you're not wealthy, that's because you're lazy. If you can't afford status symbols to prove your wealth it's because you're a failure as a human being. This is an exaggeration, but it's what the mainstream media tells you and what the billboards shout at you.

I'm not saying it's impossible to manage your funds well if you barely have any. I've seen plenty of old widows in Germany be able to make do with welfare because they were used to not being able to afford anything (or even theoretically be able to buy anything if they had the money) throughout the post-war period, but we're talking about people who've learned to cope in a situation where it was entirely possible to freeze or starve to death even if you did everything right. Luxury meant having a variety of food on the table (or having spare tobacco for your own use, rather than for trading), not being able to afford the latest iPhone.

I would also argue that HN necessarily isn't representative of "average folks". The average HN user is special. Not better, but different. There's a disproportionate amount of entrepreneurs (yes, they are the exception) for example. Plus, there's the survivor bias: if you're here, you probably haven't found it an impossible task to keep out of poverty (even if you ever were close to it). If you had, you wouldn't be here in the first place.

But the entire point is moot anyway. If everyone is able to engage in some kind of critical thinking, self control and doing basic math, and still there are a lot of people trapped in these cut-throat contracts, the average person is evidently not sufficiently able to avoid them (and if those things are all it takes to do so, they are evidently not as good at them).

But I think this isn't a question of facts, it's a question of ideology: I think it's our responsibility as a society to keep people out of situations where they become practically unable to act freely (even if they only have themselves to blame). You seem to hold the opinion that if they screw up their own lives, we have no obligation to help them and they only owe it to themselves.

This is based on a non-supervised machine learning algorithm that reads a lot of online sources (not just well-known newspapers) every hour to get a snapshot of current news in the world.

Just tell me your thoughts about it, and thank you very much in advance.
That "marry me" special case was in the news just after it was launched, it's not pseudo-intelligance at all, just the wit of Apple employees.
Even if you care about nothing whatsoever except your job (which probably isn't - and certainly shouldn't be - the case) there is an optimal level of effort that delivers peak sustainable output, and for tasks with a significant intellectual component, the available data says that optimal level is about thirty or forty hours a week. Beyond that, sure, you'll get more done in the first week, but chronic fatigue will quickly build up, reducing your effectiveness to the point where you're actually getting less done than you would have in a thirty-hour week.

Let's see some of that research. "A Grand Gender Convergence: Its Last Chapter" Goldin, NBER working paper suggests that there are superlinear returns to hours worked for differentiated labour. Where workers are basically substitutable pay has an almos 1:1 relationship with hours worked. Where people can have unique knowledge and relationships and combinations of same working more hours makes your total output greater and makes you less substitutable, which makes your bargaining position better, if you're an employee.
