This may not be any indication. A Firebase competitor named GoInstant was bought by Salesforce, used to build a few things internally at that company, and very recently shut down and the team integrated into the parent company. Any outsiders that built anything with GoInstant were basically out of luck. I have no idea how many users they had, and Firebase has greater visible traction, so that may factor in as well.
For elementary-age teaching, you really only have to be one lesson ahead. Which as an adult is easy/trivial. Its not expert knowledge you're providing; its training in how to learn, methodical approaches to study, and a lively interest in a variety of topics. And the topic of course, which is pretty much reading, writing and arithmetic. Which at that level if you haven't received proper education in, yes you should consider not home schooling.

Yes. A man had his finger ripped off by a thief stealing his iPad. It was not for the touch ID, but that is beside the point IMO. There have been plenty of incidents where muggers remove fingers to steal rings. I don't think a phone is so different.
While that may be true, both Canadian Dollars and German (Well, EU) Euros both have a lot more buying power than the Rupee, and are more in-line with the Dollar. 1 Euro as of today is $1.26 USD. So someone getting paid 25 Euros an hour in Germany will get $31.50 USD per hour here.

In India, some googling of job postings has led me to believe the average software engineer makes about 500,000 Rupees a year. That's only $8,173 USD a year. (A nice 2 bedroom apartment is about $80-$90 USD a month in India)

Economies are totally different, which is why there appears to be a large gap in compensation.

If your concern is that the company is taking advantage of the paralegal environment to exploit these workers, you should be as against these ridiculous laws as me. The market will find the correct price for goods, criminalisation simply creates a legal and social vacuum for all transactions below the mandated minimum sale price, encouraging perverse and destructive behaviours.

The minimum wage laws do not prevent exploitation, they encourage it.

Edit: I would not be surprised if the people who are downvoting me now have never worked a minimum wage job. They might be interested to know that I have, and indeed currently do work minimum wage in my country. My first-hand experience has only confirmed my total opposition to the practice.

Of course, it's a lot easier to downvote than actually engage an opposing opinion in debate :)
Make Opinionated Software
Your solutions to these problems (like "do validation and integrity in the application layer" and "build a shared ORM layer for multiple applications") are definitely possible solutions to the problems, but you state them as if they are obviously the best solutions. They actually sound a lot harder to me and seem to be driven by some theoretical purity in having a dumb data store that I don't really understand. Building a shared ORM layer for multiple applications to use is just a hack around having a shared data store layer doing validation and integrity, which is what a smarter database already does. It's reinventing one of the really hard things that databases are already good at. What is the advantage?

I've also never made an application that doesn't eventually want to do something that the ORM I'm using doesn't know how to do, at which point it makes a lot more sense to interact directly with the database than to shrug my shoulders and say "I guess I can't do that".

Maybe my applications just aren't "modern" enough.

This stems from the concern (valid, in my opinion) of preserving the collection. If you let just anyone enter the physical library to access it, your risk would be higher that someone would accidentally damage or take some of the collection.

For what it's worth, my understanding is that the Library of Congress has similar restrictions for accessing at least some of their archives.

Ello's Catch 22
Well… That's true of any strong and long lasting institutions.

Incidentally, many of the ancient documents in those archives were copied into it during the renaissance after surviving for hundreds of years in the Muslim-Arab world. The Hebrew document in that article (I think 'Supplement to The Torah' is a decent translation) by Maimonides is a great example.

Maimonades was a Jewish Scholar who lived in Spain (during the Muslim period), Morocco & Egypt. He can (and is) claimed by Arabs, Jews & the Helenic culture of the middle ages. If you think in terms of 'The Flame of Western Civilization' he was part of the movement that carried that flame for a few hundred years before it was carried back to Christendom during the Renaissance. You could also make the argument that European Christianity joins Western culture during the Renaissance.

But certainly, the Vatican is an incredible influence on Western culture, good, bad or odd.
There's little biology in elementary school (planting the seed in the cup). The government curriculum is available to home-schoolers for free; your school district is required to provide a copy to you if asked. So no problems there.

The money is a sunk cost, no getting that back. And the real waste; the real cost to you is the education or lack of one that your child receives.

If you don't value your child over your tax bill, then maybe home-schooling isn't for you. Just lob your kid into the public school and feel like you're getting a bargain; I sure won't be there to stop you.

Undocumented workers have been granted protection under federal law:

http://flsaovertimelaw.com/tag/undocumented-immigrants/

The decision went to the text of the Federal Labor Standards Act and decided that it had a very broad definition of employee. I wouldn't expect narrower decisions for companies flying people around for training.

For $200 a week, and given the narrow availability of visiting worker visas, it doesn't seem like it will come up very often.
A benefit corp can always vote to remove its benefit corp status. If a majority of the ownership goes to investors, they can vote to revoke the no advertising clause.

As far as I know it is already an EU law and, as with the vast majority of EU laws, each member state can decide to override with additional restrictions (usually under some limitations).

In this specific case, I think Germany is the only exception, but to me it makes perfectly sense: sensitive personal data like medical records should not circulate outside the country.

Even at EU level, how could Germany as a nation guarantee privacy if data is physically maintained in Ireland, where most of the US companies have offices just because of cheaper taxation...? As a country I would't promise that, and as a citizen I wouldn't trust such a promise (side note, I'm Italian so I have no gain/part into this).

I'm going to strongly disagree with your last point. How many sellers were on Silk Road? How many of them sold drugs? Take this percentage and compare it to the number of eBay auctions that are for iphone screen protectors or dedocrate beads. These numbers will differ by more than a few orders of magnitude. It's not reasonable to compare them.

If you know your service is being used for drug trafficking to a significant degree and you don't try to stop it then yes, you do hold some responsibility and can be held accountable. Morally, ethically, and legally.

Zulu is simple: It is a free and freely re-distributable binary distribution of OpenJDK for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS. Each binary is tested and certified (literally), which in the Java world is no small thing.

For MacOS and Windows, Zulu is the only binary distro of OpenJDK that I am aware of. For Linux (as of this writing), Zulu is the only publicly available binary distro of OpenJDK 8 that actually undergoes TCK testing and Java SE compatibility testing. [RedHat provides 7 and 6 binaries through the IcedTea project, but IcedTea has not yet shipped a Java 8 version].

So unless you want to build OpenJDK from source (and test top verify what you built is good), you'll need to get a binary from somewhere. Zulu is that somewhere.

To demonstrate the simple value of a tested and certified binary build: The current default Java binary thing you get on docker's official Java runtime image for Java 8 is 8u40 (https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/java/). But 8u40 doesn't actually exist. It is still in development in OpneJDK and won't be released until March 2015. So this thing you pull off a repo is certainly not a tested or released version (likely a top of tree snapshot built from source and just pushed to an experimental repo).

For a current list of companies and organizations that are actually able to fully test OpenJDK 8 (or 7, or 6), see the TCK signatories list at: http://openjdk.java.net/groups/conformance/JckAccess/jck-acc...

> I have the impression that the OCaml world has seen a lot of changes recently with a lot of complexity added.

The first part of that is very true but the second part feels completely and utterly false to me. Where is this added complexity?

OCaml and OPAM were ridiculously trivial to set up on my system (via homebrew on a Mac) and OPAM 1.2, with many improvements, is due for release in the next few days [1]. Decent instructions are in the RWO wiki page [2]. The OPAM devs are responsive to bug reports and do a lot to maintain the health of the package ecosystem too.

If you're installing everything from sources then you're choosing to take on that burden and I wish you well but don't claim that more complexity is being added.

> Europe is facing a challenge from Russia to its very existence.

Nonsense. Europe is winning big time. Soros even gives the arguments for this.

- Europe has expanded its outer borders towards Russia for the last 25 years. Ukraine was once considered part of the Soviet "heartland". Well, it isn't anymore.

- The trend towards democracy and freedom is led by the young generation. In another 20 years, even in the worst case, the defenders of the status quo will have been replaced "by nature".

- Given structural reforms of Naftogaz and incentives for better thermal insulation of houses, Ukraine would become independent of Russian gas. And that is what they will do. And what every other European country already does. You think the German all-in for renewable energies (and the smart-grid this requires) is about pretty flowers and climate change?

Also, Russia has maxed out their military options already. They sure wanted to stage a full-out war (like the occupation of neighboring Georgia in 2008), but somehow couldn't. The economic ties with the EU and EU-friendly countries are too strong now.

When the dust settles in 10+ years, Ukraine will be out of Russia's reach and the EU more indepenent from Russia's natural resources. And that will happen irrespective of who bails out whose debt next week.

School requires a structure, a time and place and schedule or its easy to get off track. So sure, create a school.

Very early in the morning is a great way to start the day. Young kids are never brighter than in the early morning.

If its not worth the effort to work full-time and add in home-schooling, then I'm sorry but it may not work for you. It sure does work easier if somebody in the household works part-time. I should say, works outside the home part-time, and works in the home part-time. Because the more you put into it, the more you get out.

It depends on the weight you give your kids in your life I guess. And the condition of your local schools. Maybe its not a problem where you are.

But if your schools are not the best, its a tragedy to consign your valuable child to a 6-year sentence in a rough environment. With a half-strength education and a poor start to life.
Addiction isn't that simple. Would you argue that nicotine is not addictive?

I've always enjoyed the Apple 1 auctions. I probably should have bought the one at the Vintage Computer Festival in 2000 for $5,000 but I couldn't see its value :-). Somewhere out there is my home built Digital Group machine (also with bodged together keyboard and converted tv for a monitor) but Dr. Suding didn't go on to create an influential computer company. But he did have the coolest dual cassette tape system that tried to be a DECTape equivalent.

Looking forward to the billion dollar valuations.
Noone is being favored here. Silk road would not have been shut down had it been selling needles.
Likewise, whoever sells illegal drugs, delivers drugs, or knowingly fascilitates either of those things is held accountable.
Two disclaimers:
1. Not all favoring is inherently evil. Eg. favoring based on objective criteria.
2. Not all things that are legal are morally justified. Eg. abortion.
IANAL, but the statute this is using is only a year old, so the answer will likely "we can guess, but don't know for sure until there is caselaw behind it"

Until recently most public benefit corporations were specifically chartered by the government (e.g. USPS, CPB), but a number of states have created a law for privately establishing them recently.
Legal problems are obvious, so I'll focus on the ethical/moral side.

I think it is wrong to equate drug trafficking, in any sense, to a moral or ethical argument. Those questions do not yet have concrete, society-accepted answers, so by imposing the ethical and moral objects on drugs, we are in danger of simply following the status quo without question, I think.

There are also cases where the most moral or ethical thing to do would be allow a patient to use a state-controlled/restricted drug, if it would save their lives. If we were to follow this argument to its conclusion, there may be a moral or ethical argument that it would be wrong for him to attempt to shutdown the ability of a patient to acquire life-improving drugs.

tl;dr: Equating legal wrong to moral/ethical wrong is not always the right way.
