My point is that the process is basically the same regardless of whether or not you have the key... unless the phone is stolen, of course. That's the case you claim not to be worried about, though.
If they had a rocketplane that had a reasonable rocket motor in it that would enable them to do quick turnarounds by simply refueling, doing a little bit of inspection, and reflying, then it might be possible to validate the idea through an extensive test flight program, just as we've done with airplanes. Put in a hundred or so test flights exploring the flight envelope and it would be possible to gain some confidence in the system.

With the design that Virgin Galactic / Scaled have now I don't see that as a reasonable possibility, and I don't think it is a safe system (largely due to the rocket, the airframe might be a perfectly fine design).

I think "we have the technology" to give people the ability to alter their brain chemistry to let them do things they wouldn't be able to otherwise, and having that choice available or those who want to take advantage of it is better than not having it.

The UK Govt API http://data.gov.uk/ is a good place to start and study.

Here are the 7 design principles that guided them in the design process

1. Start with needs*
2 Do less
3 Design with data
4 Do the hard work to make it simple
5 Iterate. Then iterate again.
6 Build for inclusion
7 Understand context
8 Build digital services, not websites
9 Be consistent, not uniform
10 Make things open: it makes things better

Here is more about that https://www.gov.uk/design-principles#first
Most of my work has come from referrals, but the original leads came from introducing myself. I suggest finding an international conference -- regardless of industry -- meet those people, trade business cards & regularly stay in contact offering your services.

You don't send checks to major newspapers for stories.

What you do is write the story yourself and send it to media outlets, and they'll rewrite it and publish it because they are lazy. Publishing positive puff about a company is a no-op for the papers, because it doesn't open them up to criticism or liability. Publishing positive puff about a tech company makes you seem young.

Show HN: Resource4j – simple application resource loader facade for Java
In my experience – I commuted from Silverlake to West Side for almost two years and have sat in three hour traffic – being chauffeured is _dramatically_ better. It kind of goes:

driving yourself < driving with a companion < being chauffeured

Driving requires constant focus, especially in stop-and-go traffic, and it can be downright exhausting. Driving with a friend makes it a little better, but you're still 'in it together' and it can still be exhausting. Sitting in the backseat while someone drives you, while maybe not that best use of your time, allows you to shut off your active brain and focus on something else: reading, napping, working on a laptop, etc.

The truth is that talking on the phone, podcasts, audio books -- these didn't really make my commute more bearable in the long run; and my theory is that you're not really able to shut off your focus on the road. That focus is what's exhausting.

I make $45/hr on W2 doing remote work. Rails dev is one of my tertiary responsibilities. I also do Java dev and sysadmin.

When I contract, I try to base my rates around $125/hr, but I'll give a dose of reality to the fantasy that HN always promotes: it's not easy to get people to pay that. I've been more successful getting clients in the $75-80/hr range and found that to be about the top of the tolerable range for most people, and even that is often a stretch.

It really comes down to what type of client you're pitching. Anything mid-medium-sized or less in terms of revenue is going to snicker at decent rates. I've had a couple of bigger clients that were surprised they weren't paying me more than $125/hr, but I stopped freelancing full-time shortly after getting them (one of them successfully courted me over to W2; I probably shouldn't have taken it). I always found it hard to break into the bigger clients that were willing to pay good rates; they usually already have vendors and everyone wants their associate to get a piece of the pie.

My personal opinion: stop focusing on the technology of how to put it out there and just put it out there. Another API is another API that open data developers need to work with, which may or may not be better than any of the existing solutions (Data.json, CKAN, ESRI, the UN data platform, etc).

If they really want to create open government, just post up the raw files on an ftp server and open it to the public.

So obviously that's not the ideal solution, the ideal solution is to have an option to disable sending SMSs. Most people (at least in the US) have unlimited or nearly unlimited SMS with every plan, so sending an SMS doesn't really matter. For those that it does matter for, they could simply disable SMS. In fact, this is such an obvious solution that I went to check if it was there already and what do you know? It is. "Allow outgoing SMS to" has an a checkbox to allow outgoing SMS, to prompt before sending and SMS to another TextSecure user, etc.

Two reasons. 1. They might be too poor to afford the drug. 2. The drug company has an incentive not to release the drug before being officially approved, for reasons of CYA and reputation.

Yes, they are. But only recently, and only a small relative about. I'd forgotten that they'd started doing it a couple months back. That's why I said 'basically all of them', because every other major site I'm aware of that accepts bitcoin doesn't hold any bitcoin. It's immediately converted to dollars at sale time because holding bitcoin for even part of a day is a huge and completely unnecessary risk for a retailer.

The timeframe I mentioned is relevant to Overstock because they were not holding any bitcoin last year. They only began accepting it this year and only began holding it more recently. So only its recent (poor) performance is relevant to Overstock and its investors. As such, it would appear to have been a bad decision in the short term.

I'm not the one in this back and forth who is cherry-picking. Bitcoin up over a different timeframe (a year, since inception, etc) is irrelevant to Overstock, just as its drop to 1/2 of its value over the last few months may be less relevant to your Bitcoin holdings.

Full disclosure: I hold .24826531 Bitcoin personally and in conjunction with my open source project and run Bitcoin Core 0.9.3 64-bit on Windows.
Reading over all of the comments it sounds like trying to have a company that is simply providing a place to store photos is a losing proposition. The revenue would have to come somewhere else.

* By default the photos can be re-sold and the user gets part of the profit.

* Services such as photo restoration

* Selling physical goods such as mugs, tshirts, postcards,
posters, puzzles, Christmas cards, photo books, etc

* Ads on top of a chat system based around photos ;)

* A social network that uses the photos to get your friends to join the network

* Now that you are backing up your photos for $ we could back up all your data

* Daily advertising games such as 1 random users that uploads a photo today featuring Taco Bell gets $1000 (aka advertisers pay for everything).

In fact any company that derives revenue secondary from having photos, but not from the users storing the photos is incentivized to let the users store the photos for as cheap as possible if not free (when possible). This is probably the number one problem with any company that is trying to sell storage for photos and will no doubt force them to pivot or close down eventually.

Alternatively the other option is to only cater to users that are willing to pay and have no free option at all. You would want to interview those users and make sure the problem they have is being solved.

No, I don't think it makes any sense at all. CPUs/OSs have built-in mechanisms to automatically adjust frequency depending on the actual workload. If scrolling involves a minimal workload then it should remain in low-power state. This is a really power-hostile solution to solving a problem which should be solved another way. At the very least, if this really is an intractable lag problem (which I doubt - other manufacturers seem unaffected), then the driver should call an OS API that says something like "latency-sensitive user input has started/stopped", and then the OS makes the decision about whether to boost the CPU frequency, or do something more sensible, or be updated in future to use new hardware features to solve the problem even better, etc.

This particular hack is just poor engineering. And users should at least be given the choice between "drain my battery or add a bit of lag", if the manufacturer can't figure out how to remove the need to make that choice.
And this kids, is why people buy Macs to serve as a $1500 facebook machine.
The problem I personally have had here is that Debian support cycles are way too short, 1 year past the bi-annual release of the new version. Even the squeeze LTS 1 year additional support experiment is too short. Hence my new appreciation of RHEL.

With Windows there's a very good chance you can continue using an old version for a long time. I'm still supporting my mother using XP through two sets of hardware (although that'll end soon). (In)Famously, many people skipped Vista and are now skipping Widows 8, and I gather not suffering all that much.

It shouldn't matter, but it does. People without experience of marginalization are frequently unsympathetic to those who are. And people who are privileged often act in ways that maintain that privilege, even when they claim their conscious motives are unrelated.

Experience shapes ideas. Ideas are tested through experience. If you refuse to examine the things that shape your experience, some of your ideas will inevitably be poor.
Hmm, you're right. Just goes to show that I don't think much about what I do in Vim. :)

But the consistency of combining known verbs with known objects still holds. If I know a verb I can operate on any object. If I know an object (motion) I can use any operator on it.
As a Mac user (and someone who spends most of the day in Xcode), I feel lucky to have a machine that generally works most of the time and I don't need to defrag it, virus-scan it, memory-clean it, watch running processes for free RAM, and so on and so forth. So, I feel really bad for users who feel duped into downloading things like this -- they get a subpar computer as a result, and they totally don't have to.

I can't speak for everyone, but I switched my website and local PCs over to FreeBSD. In my case, after having suffered through years of broken audio from Lennart Poettering's previous grand experiment (and his attitude toward detractors ...), systemd wasn't the only reason -- it was just the bowling ball that broke the camel's back.

I haven't actually used systemd, and I'm sure it runs just fine for most desktop people who don't care how their system boots. But I disagree with nearly all of its design decisions. I strongly value software portability between Linux and BSDs regardless of which OS I am using, I don't believe in making desktop environments like Gnome 3 (and even desktop applications like Brasero) dependent upon a specific init system, I don't believe in monolithic design and prefer stronger decoupling, I prefer text log files to binary log files, I find the documentation on systemd and its APIs appalingly sparse, I am opposed to the heavy-handedness of consuming other libraries like udev, I am greatly opposed to the politics being played out to push its adoption on other distros, on and on.

depends on your counterfactual. for some commenters on this thread, that seems to be storing data in plaintext. for me, the more reasonable counterfactual is a recovery key that i have sole control over, or perhaps an encrypted backup onto a disk i have sole control over.

i think we agree that encrypting data at rest isn't sufficient for keeping private data private, but it may be necessary and is probably beneficial.

for some users, keeping keys in microsoft's cloud may be a good option, but i think that hinges on whether they know and understand the implications of sending their recovery keys to microsoft.

for example, maybe you lose your phone and some pickpocket doesn't grab your data very easily, but maybe the local police force gets your recovery key from microsoft and finds nude photos of your significant other before returning your phone to you. i'd be pretty displeased in that case, even if it helped me get my device back.

i suspect many people storing recovery keys with microsoft don't know that this is happening, and might have made different choices if they knew that and understood some of the implications.
What I find more interesting is that parking SHOULD cost more than it does, and if it did, Uber would win the cost-value comparison hands-down.

Americans subsidize parking by imposing fees on developers who don't include "enough" of it, and by reserving large portions of cities' streets for car storage. Multi-billion dollar highways enable sprawl and cheaper commercial parking lots. Driving & parking personal vehicles is incredibly wasteful from a broad economic perspective (but it was the correct path -- a necessary evil in the absence of density to enable effective mass transit).

Even with the government subsidies, Uber is an economically competitive alternative to driving & parking personal vehicles. That's the amazing part. Public policy favors the incumbent behavior, yet "ride-sharing" has still been able to expose market inefficiencies. Imagine if we killed all the parking subsidies, or better yet: used economic incentives to discourage driving & parking personal vehicles, and encourage the behavior that had a lower total cost.

I believe the future of personal transportation is computer-driven computer-dispatched vehicles, a game Uber and Google are leading. We can't get there soon enough.
> First of all my apologies for "you" I guess it should read "one" - English is not my native tongue.

Thanks. It can be used both ways but being a Dutchman I wasn't sure. Not my native tongue either :)

I understand your issues with publicly funded projects, and where there is money there will always be abuse. I've interned at a company that did research because they could get it subsidized and I know they wouldn't if they didn't get that money; it was simply too expensive (they didn't have a lot to spend). However that is also the goal of the grant/subsidy: stimulating companies to do that very research (if I remember correctly it was something about VoIP, not sure).

So yeah people make money with it, but it also helps development. I too think that €3 mil is a bit much for 70m of cyclepath, but if it's the first in the world... gotta start somewhere when you have huge R&D costs. If you read their FAQ, they are testing for a lot of things like slickness, reflection, strength, etc. I always just hope they know more about it than I do.
One reason is that Apple doesn't sell laptops with decent graphics cards. Apple also maxes out at 16 GB of RAM. Another reason is that some people like larger screens and Apple has stopped offering that.
This is just wrong. Eclipse is an IDE to some languages that it supports, but an average editor to everything else. Have you tried editing configuration files, shell scripts or patch files in it. Eclipse or similar things are terrible when you work in multi-language environment. And look at my other answer that has many demos to see many things your IDE has not yet satisfied me.
Those types of arguments fail to impress me. They are the equivalent of "But Mikey's mom lets him ride his bike without a helmet?!"

Are we so naive to think that until the entire country or the entire world decides to implement the same tax that nobody should attempt to make progress?
So, really, is there anything left to buy except MacBooks anymore? I'm not a big fan of Apple, and would have to go through all sorts of nuisances to install Linux on it anyway, but the longer I search for solid 13" laptop, the more horrified I become. It cannot be that nobody makes nice laptops, can it?
