That's not exactly correct either. Around 1984 I was in Highschool and you could get "on line" via Compuserve. It was dial up but it used T1 and leased lines with other locations like the Airlines so you could, for example, view flights book a trip via Compuserve. I believe AAA (a travel service in the US) as also linked up this way too. It was not an always-on connection, but then neither was the Internet for many in the early 1990s. I ran a BBS in the 80s on a Commodore computer and I would use a dial-up feature to log into other BBSes to trade data and make it available on my site. One commercial service was called Don Best Sports that offered betting spreads (aka football lines). Don Best Sports, just to pick on one example, is now available with your Web browser but in the 1980s I could get Las Vegas spread data through a coax connection (data connection) from a local telephone or certain participating cable companies. This was all available in the mid to late 80s via an always on connection like the Universities were. Don Best Sports, in particular, would give you a cable modem that had a DB9 connection for serial data and it was a live feed in 1985 when I was involved with it.
I have struggled for sleep since at least 10+ years. For me, personally, sleeping is one of the activities that I enjoy the most on a given day. I would never give up on that whole experience (dreaming, resting, etc...) for nothing. If I could sleep more, I would definitely do it.

I can't comprehend why would people want to avoid sleeping. I can't think of one legitimate reason to think of sleeping as a "waste of time". If trends like this (or the one about slurping a glass of disgusting slime instead of eating an actual meal) become mainstream, life will definitely suck even more.

I don't see why the good old model of "Someone deposits a complaint against a website at a police station, then the server/website is investigated upon, then the fine is raised against the renter/owner of the server" isn't enough.
I saw it the other way, relying on spring pressure isn't wise from a safety perspective and when it fails parts are going to fall into other parts etc and torques are pretty high on stuff like that which makes me wonder about torque limits on this gadget. Also there's no specs on stuff like sideloads or impact loading or anti-corrosion plating. I'm kinda mystified how this thing could work if cad plated without scraping off the cad plate, so ...

Where I do see it making an impact, is "every gram counts" and if you took every washer and lockwasher off an instrument panel and replaced the nuts with these, you might save a small but measurable mass, which translates directly into a small but measurable increase in payload or range or lower fuel consumption or performance. Even on a small plane this might be a pound or two, but imagine a giant jetliner and it adds up to a respectable mass, probably financially a good idea... if its ever aerospace rated.

Note that there's kind of big gap between being listed for sale on a foreign web page with no documentation at all and no specs or datasheets or certs, and being COTS at a place like "aircraft spruce and specialties". For laughs I went there and the price to beat for certified aerospace grade locknuts is like 48 cents a piece, so I donno if this new gadget can compete in the aerospace market at the typical 100x price markup... I mean sure saving weight and fuel is cool, but not if each aircraft certified nut costs $500.

Also, demographic have changed a lot. Now we have:

* fewer children per household that grow up and contribute payroll taxes

* fewer people dying at their prime (and contributing to pensions, etc. without drawing anything)

* higher standards of living (bigger houses, multiple TVs, grandma lives across instead of upstairs, obesity outweighs starvation as a problem, etc.)

Why are you so randomly hostile about this? Your tone and attitude are super shitty throughout this thread. Chill.

As for CRUD--I'm a platform and devops engineer. I'm not a web developer (except incidentally). But I do often write relational things--like, say, "I have this node, running this application, using this artifact from that data store"--that are best modeled by a relational data store. They're otherwise trivial applications, but reinventing the relational data store would take orders of magnitude longer than writing the application against SQLite or Postgres. How do you propose to model relations across the file system in a way that doesn't make it the tail wagging the dog?

While I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty comfortable going further than "nontrivial business applications" to "a majority of networked applications". The world is relational. Modeling it relationally makes a lot of sense for a lot of use cases.

Jooby: A minimalist web framework for Java 8, inspired by express.js
I worked on two Smalltalk projects in the early 90's at two different companies. Both efforts were abandoned for C++. Some of the issues we encountered at the time:

* Numerical computation was too slow. Numbers used to be objects and all numerical computations followed object messaging. Ouch! This was eventually remediated but not before we'd dropped Smalltalk.

* Garbage collection was S-L-O-W. Your workstation would randomly freeze 30-60 seconds. It was that bad.

* The built-in windowing environment was an albatross in the early days of Windows and OS/2. Customers wanted a native look-and-feel not the weird (to them) Smalltalk window manager.

* Not everyone had yet bought into object-oriented programming, much less making everything an object. This was really bizarre at the time - even code was an object. Makes sense now, but few people were thinking that way then.

* It was strange. C++ seemed safer since everybody at the time knew and was comfortable with C programming. Little did we know the pitfalls awaiting us when using C++! :)

In the end I think the Smalltalk experience left such a bad taste in everyone's mouth that when these issues were resolved no one was interested in going back and giving Smalltalk a second look. Nowadays Smalltalk lives on in Objective-C. In fact one the shops I was in abandoned Smalltalk for Objective-C, which is one of the few instances I know of people using Objective-C outside of the Apple ecosystem.
This makes sense, I see now that you can disable it. But was this even an option before Apple published the "selfsolve" page referenced here in today's news?

> This seems like shaky math as well. What about the others that returned 0x?

They're either complete write-offs, or a small percentage of the unused capital is returned to the VC fund. I'm pretty sure the author didn't mean to imply that the return on investment for the entire VC fund was 95x. Any VC fund has a bunch of writeoffs and a bunch of homeruns. The homeruns have to compensate for the writeoffs. Looking at the average return for successful exits is a reasonable metric because if the successful exits are only 5x then clearly the fund is a hopeless position. And if there are a number of great exits it doesn't matter much if the fund has many duds or only a couple. The average-return-on-exit metric isn't great either, because the largest exits matter most and the average doesn't properly reflect that.
I agree. We absolutely shouldn't be harsh on him. He made a mistake and has learned about it.

Yes, he did something phenomenally stupid, by taking on the credit card debt and (much worse) the fucking tax debt (the IRS are not nice people) on behalf of any startup, much less one where he wasn't a founder. Bad decision. He seems to have learned his lesson.

That said, he deserves a fuckton of credit for having the courage to talk about it. Most people sweep their career mistakes under the rug. This guy has the guts to come out and talk about something stupid that he did and I commend him for it.

These second-circle startups that underpay egregiously, are sloppy with paperwork, and continually promise that "funding is just around the corner" may be more common than the VC darlings (which are pretty ethically sloppy themselves, but more prestigious on account of selectivity). They don't get much press because few people ever admit to having worked for them.

I've done similarly stupid things. Why? Because I was young, didn't know what I was getting in to, was easy to take advantage of, and got played.

Social class and access play a major role in this. Someone from Stanford is going to know not to take $2000 per month working for a smooth-talking douchebag who "knows investors" and "just needs a programmer". Some sharp but naive 21-year-old kid from Indiana who moved to California not knowing anyone? That's exactly who the douchebags prey upon.
> Devil's advocate: maybe there's a big element of luck involved in getting ridiculous amounts of money. Why is that a bad thing? Maybe being talented is like entering the billionaire raffle. Why is paying everyone $100k more fair than paying everyone $50k and giving some the chance at being billionaires?

It's not more fair, but it's more efficient. The boost in happiness that you get from having a billion dollars rather than $50k is not 19999x bigger than the boost you get from having $100k rather than having $50k. If it's really just luck, then the argument against taxing all income above a certain threshold and redistributing it evenly is pretty weak.

> This whole net neutrality debate has been going on long before Obama started his first term of presidency, why wait until you are almost out of the White House to act upon something as important as this?

Appointing pro-neutrality Democrats to the FCC is doing something about it, and the Commission majority has been pro-neutrality and actively seeking pro-neutrality regulations for quite some time.

(I suppose he could have done more to find pro-neutrality non-Democrats to appoint to the other seats given the no-more-than-three-members-from-one-party rule that Congress has imposed on the FCC.)

> Either way, if Obama can get a bill deeming internet to be classified as a utility within the next two years, maybe he will leave behind a legacy that we talk of in the years to come

Title II classification is an FCC decision. Legislation could direct (or prevent) it, but that's not Obama isn't seeking legislative action.

> More interesting is Hillary Clinton's position on net neutrality, since polls make her the most likely winner of the next elections at this point.

2016 polls at this point are meaningless. If you looked at 2008 polls in 2006, they said the same thing -- and Barack Obama won. If you looked at 2004 polls in 2002, Lieberman was certainly not a shoe-in to win the general election, but the most likely to win the Democratic nomination at least, which he still didn't due (even with his Joementum).

In 1998, such polls would have accurately predicted who would get the most votes in the 2000 Presidential election, but still wouldn't have predicted who the next President would be.

About all Presidential polls just after the preceding midterm election are good for telling you is who the media is going to spend disproportionate time talking about for the much of next two years.
I'm in Chicago. I had a BBS in the late 1980s, Compuserve before then, and access through a shared university account in the early 1990s. I did not have access that I could simply write a check for to consistently get access to, say, IRC and Usenet, until MCS started in ~1993.

Obviously people were on the Internet before 1993, but I chose the term "consumer Internet" specifically to avoid this debate. I think it's clear that the Internet wasn't on Group W Cable's mind in 1983.
Unless, of course, direct encrypted communication is prohibited. Because, you know, Internet is a public utility now, and if you are using public thing, you should abide by public's rules. Like connecting to SSL sites only using approved ISP SSL proxies that allow lawful intercept. After all, you accept that to drive on public roads you need a license. So, to browse on public internet, you need to follow the rules too. And the rules say law enforcement should be able to see what you are transmitting - given properly signed court order, of course - so that means you can not use non-interceptable encryption. See how this logic works?

>More money leads in almost all people to artificial value, short term superficial happiness, degradation of the soul.

>Longer term less money creates in almost all people higher valuation of the most simple and basic things, which translates to true happiness for the soul.

Having been dead broke, severely underemployed while freelancing, and in a position where I would have been homeless were it not for my amazing girlfriend I can't help but feel a visceral amount of disagreement with this sentiment. Not having money is miserable. Currently I am pretty well off (greater than 75th percentile in the US) and the change in my life that I can directly attribute to having more money is astonishing. Placing a high value on basic things doesn't lead to happiness. It leads to stress, worry, sadness, self loathing, and worst of all envy. And if you have kids I can't even imagine the amount of guilt one might feel if you can't provide for them.

If you go to the grocery store and agonize over every item you place in your cart because not doing so means you might not be able to pay your rent there's almost no way you're going to have the will and the energy left at the end of the day to really enjoy the things that matter in life. It's just too draining and has a real opportunity cost. That's not placing a higher value on basic things, that's putting on blinders and only focusing on your immediate future.

Yeah, something seems dodgy there. $20K income is well below the EITC threshold. I just stuck it into BankRate's tax calculator [1], and it claimed total tax owed was $1616 without any further deductions, so it's quite possible the OP owes nothing. He should consult a qualified tax attorney or accountant; much of that IRS debt may not really exist.

Also, if I understand his post correctly, it seems like he was paid as a 1099 contractor the whole time but received equity and operated like an employee. There's likely something highly illegal about that (on the part of the startup), but it's not worth going after them because I doubt they have any money.

That's not impressive. It's called "being inconsistent" and sometimes "being an idiot". A more impressive ability is being able to simulate multiple outcomes in your head without necessarily believing in them, and that has nothing to do with whatever religious dogma you're preaching.

http://repo.openpandora.org/

Not all of it is emulation, but for those of us with a decent collection of legitimate ROM's, its a very valid and thriving scene. Even old architectures, being emulated again and thriving, are getting new apps in the app store. So, there's that to consider as well ..
