My goodness, I really like the Netherlands and even consider relocating to Amsterdam. It is not against the Netherlands it is against stupid politicians. Last not least I would support you with regard to you link about EU spending / receiving.
You have to actively prevent money getting from those with it to the politicians they want to bribe. Simply having other funding sources won't stop the cartels from installing their own puppets.

IIRC they also hand over your physical address, even in cases it's not even being used for shipping anything.

It's very unlikely that PayPal let's you change this dynamically or disable it. They probably consider it a feature.
I've been in LA for 13 years now, and it's a mixed bag.

The traffic is even worse than most people can imagine, if you're driving across several neighborhoods and/or on the freeways. Most other cities don't come close, DC being a notable exception. But even then, the traffic here lasts longer and stretches further. Angelenos don't measure distances in miles, we measure it in how long we expect it to take.

Parking can be a hassle in specific places, but for the most part you can find space near where you're going at rates that are reasonable. Although there is less free parking than many other cities.

But at the same time, LA is a city of neighborhoods all mashed together, and some of those neighborhoods are quite walkable. I live within a block or two of a ton of restaurants and shops, and within a short 5-10 minute drive of 90% of my needs.

It's sucked when I've had jobs that required cross-town commutes, but otherwise it can be quite pleasant.

Lot of taxis here. Lot of Uber/Lyft. Lot of Town Car services for the entertainment industry (when you see that town car heading in the neighborhood for a 4:30 AM pickup, you might not envy the actor's life too much).

As an aside, I'm actually impressed at how fast the subway system is currently growing. Unlike some cities, projects here are getting completed in years as opposed to decades. The subway/light rail is very different from 10 years ago, and will be very different again in 10 more years. It's still a huge, spread out city, but Metro is tying it together relatively quickly.
While we in the West tend to think of Japan as futuristic in a lot of ways they are still stuck in the 90s:

They still commonly use fax machines http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/14/world/asia/in-japan-the-fa...

And at least when I was there in 2007 they were still very cash-based and many atms would be inaccessible after midnight (except in 7-11 stores?)
Yeah I thought about that but it relies on people uploading their own games, so it wouldn't be very useful. I guess I could get in contact with some homebrewers but not sure if homebrewers games will generate much interest. Thanks for the suggestion though!

> Their headphone jack is pretty flimsy too

I really can't stand those. I've had the headphone jacks on two separate high-end Android phones go from crackly to completely unusable, while my ancient iPod nano is still rock solid after years of heavy use.

A decent 3.5mm jack is not an expensive part, but so many manufacturers seem to opt for the cheap garbage that doesn't actually work.
Super excited by the Indian Government's focus on e-governance and technology!

Also see http://attendance.gov.in/ -- This is such a beautifully designed website that it blows my mind that the Government designed it!

Our startup ClearTax ( http://cleartax.in ) is made possible by the APIs of the Indian IRS.

The APIs aren't completely open but the registration process is not very onerous.
The most interesting aspect is that the Indian IRS is keen on improving the APIs.
When we make bug reports, they usually push fixes within 48 hours which is almost unexpected from the Government! Not everything is great but its one of the most advanced tax APIs in the world imo. The bug reporting process is a bit broken, but after the bug was reported they called us back and gave us information about the fix!

I am also deeply optimistic about India's progress in the next decade because of the new PM and the strong focus on development. See also: http://www.makeinindia.com/ a new initiative by the Government to get entrepreneurs building in India.
How has archive.org done it legally? I don't see any mention of copyright on their website, or on any of the news stories.
Since when can I do a full backup with Google/Android? Let alone store it in some cloud? If this is really possible, how do I do it? There is a backup api that backups stuff the developer of the individual app thinks about storing. And there is adb backup which does backup some stuff of apps that allow it. There are full backup solutions but they are not by Google and they require an unlocked bootloader to install them in the recovery partition or root.

So if you know a full backup solution by Google for Android that does not require root or an unlockes bootloader I'd be interested to hear about it.

My friend spent like $3500 on his ASUS laptop and the touchpad never even worked...and he had multiple hardware replacements.

I really just want a decent portable computer with no built-in input devices and USB ports as an option. Maybe I'm crazy. We should be able to do this with UEFI now.

Show HN: A database for browsing and discovering movies
I bought an Asus Zenbook UX303LN 2 weeks ago after my 13" MacBook Pro got stolen, and while there are things that I miss from the MacBook (essentially, the fantastic touchpad quality), I'm overall satisfied with my Zenbook. It's a solid alternative to the MBP at a very attractive price. The only real issue is the touchpad. While it's not bad, there are a lot of things that just don't work as nicely as on the Mac. For example, if you try to rest your thumb on the touchpad the cursor will stop moving. Little things like that.

The hilarious/frightening thing is that one can analyze most public bills, projects, or proposals and discover similar shortcomings.
You also miss the booklet and liner notes. Whether this matters is probably genre-specific. Jazz in particular has more meta-data than is ever encoded in an mp3, and if it was encoded, players don't support showing it. Classical has the same issue.
Both Apple and Google's schemes are predicated on the assumption that you'll have a full phone backup stored in the "cloud."

What utter rubbish. You do not need to turn on iCloud backups to use any of the encryption features.

It would be a lot easier to buy more storage and just buy digital lossless copies of all your music. The extra cost would be more than made up for in the time savings from not having to rerip your audio collection so many times.
Thanks for the info. I always had the impression the type cover was meant to be the proper 'lap' counterpart of the touchcover in that it would be sturdier etc but appears that is not the case. Thats not so nice. Still in the market for one though, I think. Let's see what the Surface Pro 4 brings :]
Why is Google and Facebook incredibly slow via a SSH proxy?
I am behind the Chinese Firewall and build my own tunnel via SSH. Works OK, but Facebook and Google are unusable because the connection is so slow with this sites and with this sites only. (DNS is also routed via SSH, this can't be the issue).

Any suggestions?
You call it utter rubbish then make a correction to a point I never made. I won't argue with a point I never made. Good day.
If you care about security, you'll know that OpenBSD has some fairly transparent claims.

If you're merely in the OpenBSD camp, you'll think that security is the "focus" of OpenBSD.
> You've been paying for, let's say, 3 years - $360 - and what do you have to show for it?

The answer is 3 years of music enjoyment.

Honestly, this seems like a terrible example - I don't think anybody pays for spotify on the basis that they will have the music forever, it's very explicitly a rental service. Instead, people pay because it's the most convenient (including being cheap) way to access the music they want.

> While I'm not a CD junkie, I find myself clinging to the model you mention, because I am not eager to hand over control to a company that continually required me to pay

This doesn't really make sense either. If you don't like rental services, don't pay for them, buy the albums just like you always did - it's easy to buy DRM free mp3s nowadays.
I remember when I was about 23 and anticipating moving out into my first apartment - in Manhattan no less! - I would go into Tower Records and browse for CDs to buy. It was a symbol for me of my independence and ability to select my taste in music, for my pad. There was a time when having a collection meant something. I missed the vinyl generation, but a few years after I had already bought probably $200 worth of CDs, Steve Jobs did that major thing - disrupting the music industry by introducing iTunes.

No one else had been able to pull it off before - the record industry knew it was a different businsss model, and this was one of Steve's massive business coups. Music was being shared as files online - this gave businesses a legal way to compete with that. Apple launched the whole "1000 songs in your pocket" industry.

Today, for most people, it's no longer about your song collection. Tower Records has closed along with and the disruption of the physical delivery continues apace, led by Amazon and its massive consumer power. The future is squeezing of publishers, which will need to find their own ways to collectivize. But this is the macroeconomics of it. I want to mention the social impact on the individual level.

I no longer download songs to iTunes, or rip them, except for the times I go traveling or on a cruise. Music has become a social phenomenon, and for that it is better to have a free legal music source IN THE CLOUD. I just had a house party and we used a simple web app I created a few years back called YouMixer (http://youmixer.com) that uses the YouTube API as a source of free, legal music and lets everyone contribute to the playlist.

Facebook has since broke the login, and I have to recode that app. But creating a music mix works, everyone gets to add their songs and hear them at the party, and I think this is the future. Your preferences and songs following you where you go, so listenng to music is a social event unconstrained by downloading collections. I believe paintings will follow the same pattern in the next 5-10 years, and new formats for players - both audio and visual - will appear which will help usher in this social phenomenon.
No, the exact opposite.

If you make roads dual purpose structurally, you get the worst of both worlds.

You end up with a road that is a terrible road. You end up with solar panels that are terrible as solar panels.

The core design needs of a road are so drastically anti that of a solar panel, there is no hope of combining them in an effective way in the next few decades until we have drastic breakthroughs in materials or transportation (ie we stop driving multi-thousand pound vehicles with tires on top of our roads; even then it'd be better to just run the panels to the side of the future road and elevate them).

destroy a road

Roads are repaved all the time, so you wouldn't necessarily have to do any extra road destroying. It is frequently the case that the deck is stripped and reused though.

As part of the CCtCaP (or whatever the acronym is) program, SpaceX and Boeing is giving NASA access to all the details for review. This seems obvious, since they are the customer. But to think that SpaceX and Boeing would reveal their individual trade secrets to each other seems unrealistic.
I grew up in the 70's and 80's, and the first music I ever bought was on cassettes. Fortunately CD's came out when I was in middle school, so I was buying CDs when I really started building my own music collection.

I remember filling my shelves with CD cases, and I remember noticing that I wasn't listening to my full range of music because of the friction of having to switch physical discs. Then my friend and I each bought a 400-disc carousel player [0]. That thing was magical - suddenly we could listen to any song we had ever bought at the press of a few buttons. I remember using Access to make a database of all my music, so I could easily listen to anything I wanted to.

Around 2006 I bought a 30GB ipod, and I methodically ripped every CD in the 400-disc changer, which I had completely filled. I remember writing to my friend and telling him that every song in that changer was now in my pocket. It was another revolution in making all my music available with even less friction.

Fast forward to today, and what do I have? I'm still listening to music on my 2006 ipod. I'm stuck there because I don't use itunes anymore, but my old ipod still works. I haven't made the time to update my approach to organizing music. I had a dream just last night that my ipod burned up, and I had to figure out a new way to listen to music.

I'll dedicate some time in the next year or two to organize my music outside of itunes. I still have all my old CDs, so I could rip them again if there's reason to do so.

Music has been changing formats for the last 100+ years. It's a bit of work to keep up with the changing formats, but I am always grateful that we have easy access to our entire collection of music at the touch of a few buttons.

Edit: I also lived in NYC in the 90's, and I miss going to Tower Records and HMV and getting lost in there for hours at a time.

I'm sorry for you man
If equipping every roof in the Netherlands with solar panels would only supply 25% of demand, then (theoretically) wasting massive sums of money on very inefficient bike path panels is that much worse - such path panels won't make a dent at all.

A lot of people subscribe to podcasts through directories spread out though tons of different apps, and you need to get the URL updated in each app. The No Agenda Podcast (with Adam Curry and John C Dvorak) went though this pain a few months back when their old meevio feed was shut down. Despite migrating their main feed years ago lots of directories had the old feed, and dedicated listeners had to find out it was broken in their particular app and report it.

Owning your own domain and routing all your stuff (ESPECIALLY email but also anything else associated with your identity) to is so important these days it's hard to understate it.

I don't understand why, after all these years, literally no other manufacturer has been able to nail the trackpad like Apple. The first few "clickpads" I used on laptops trying to imitate Apple were basically unusable, but even on recent models I've played with in stores, they're always just....not quite right to horrible.
I'd believe this if it was coming from a vim programmer, but generally speaking this claim does not come from someone who uses vim so doesn't carry much weight. Are you highly proficient at vim and still believe it is a placebo effect?

Even a small improvement in iteration time has a dramatic effect in the way you approach problems. Vim lightens the mental overhead on making text manipulations so that you simply think about what you want to do and your fingers do it.
"... if we can overcome it" sounds like doubt to me. Maybe less doubt than what the article implied, but I don't think it's that different.
they are the only ones that take heating seriously

You sure about that? Had a Macbook Pro (2008 or 2009, don't recall) and when doing serious work on it I could just bear it on my lap, but it ran hot enough that I was beginning to fear for my sperm count. And definitely hotter than the Dell Xps running Windows I got after it, for doing similar work. Dunno if Apple improved on that point now, but it doesn't seem (to me) they were always ahead of the rest or so.
If you haven't noticed the recent flurry of Uber articles... Let me try to explain whats going on here.

These days you go to boomberg, nytimes, any blog I know of and say "we'll pay you X amount of dollars to write an article about Uber changing something." The "news" outfit gets to write whatever they want but the underlying message of "uber changing something" has to be there to get paid. The splitting hairs part is how people think they retain credibility as a "news" outfit because they use their own words. I think a lot of people would say otherwise if they saw the whole process from beginning to end.

If that all sounds like unfettered mass manipulation, thats because it is. You can be in the news all year round if you have the money to burn out fishing. Pick an source, they all have their price these days.
Apple ‘iPhone’ Trademark Challenged by Indian Firm with Its Own ‘iFon’
> Since when can I do a full backup with Google/Android?

Since at least 4.0? Maybe earlier? I have three full phone backup providers installed by default, Google, Samsung, and one by AT&T (ick).

> Let alone store it in some cloud?

That's the default way to do backups on Android. Look in the "Backup & Reset" sub-menu in settings.

> If this is really possible, how do I do it?

Here's an article from 2012:

http://www.techhive.com/article/248984/how_to_back_up_your_a...

I'm talking about the first style of backup that backs up more than the data types listed in this 2012 article.
Even in just the last 20 years we've gone from copper phone lines to cable to fiber.

Is there any reason to suspect that today's fiber (albeit possibly "lit" by tomorrow's fiber modems) will be insufficient twenty years from now? Are we approaching some sort of theoretical limit to the number of beams of light that one glass fiber can transmit?
What's UEFI got to do with it?
> Both Apple and Google's schemes are predicated on the assumption that you'll have a full phone backup stored in the "cloud." They also offer photo backup and sync other key data.

I wouldn't grant that. The whole context of this discussion is related to Microsoft's SkyDrive, which is a free cloud service offered to MS customers. It even provides photo and document backup if you want it. I suppose it may not be as developed as iCloud (for iOS devices) but I don't see a principled difference in the two systems.

Moreover, the purpose of the recovery key doesn't seem to be related to data backup. If your disk fails or you lose your device then there are two cases:

1. You backed up your data, either to the cloud or to an external backup disk. In this case the device encryption and recovery keys become irrelevant. That's because device encryption is only applied to data on internal drives.

2. You didn't back up your data. In this case your recovery keys are useless, since you don't have the data.

So it seems like the use-case for recovery keys is primarily for situations where the user has forgotten his/her password. Saying that Apple/Google don't need to care about this because they have cloud backup (and implicitly MS doesn't) seems like a bit of a cop out.

> In this context "much more limited" is against: almost every government in the world, private individuals, and against private companies. So, what, like 98%+ of the world's population?

Much more limited against someone who can get your computer/tablet/phone and guess a password or some security questions. Don't jump straight to the NSA when your threat model is adequately met by someone who knows that your password is 'Kitty123'.
