The things I've read suggest that for adults adequate sleep is the key, not necessarily when you get it. A person who gets as much sleep as they need at night might not benefit from a nap; whereas a person who does not, would.

Babies grow more rapidly than adults, so everything happens on a faster schedule. They eat proportionally more food, and more frequently, excrete proportionally more, sleep longer and more frequently, etc.
I've worked as a trader and I agree. But there's a world of difference between swearing at your Bloomberg screens when the market goes against you (or at the guy who just snuck up behind you and farted in your ear), and explaining to a conservative, 55-year old family lawyer or a buttoned-down pension fund trustee why they should invest in 500 Startups instead of that nice, reassuring, corporate venture capital firm.
There are people who can, every company has them. Usually there are levels, as in "can read number of emails", "can read subjects", up to "can impersonate accounts". Most of the time the mechanism is there for legal reasons. Sometimes people do bad stuff with it.

I guess the idea is the old "Only criminals use encryption, so you must be a criminal".

Of course, given that the big crime networks are sophisticated this won't stop them. They'll go back to old cyphers and steganography. Same goes for the compulsory handing over of encryption keys, there are now multi-level encrypted filesystems, where you have n keys where each opens a different set of files. Have a few keys protecting embarrassing but not incriminating files and disclose those.

Surely scifi has taught us that totalitarianism never wins?
I don't understand why people seem to think he's talking about outlawing encryption. From what I understand he's talking about forcing companies to disclose your messages.

You can still have all the encryption you want on HTTPS, but it then get stored on a server somewhere.

That said, I believe both ideas are abhorrent, so if we have to take some technical liberties to cause enough uproar then so be it.

An author is partly responsible for being mindful of this, and good authors have a good understanding of this.

An interesting point. On a purely rational and logical level, yes, they're fundamentally different, and your'e a racist if you're bashing another race.

But in reality, people's beliefs closely reflect the beliefs and values of the society they live in. While two people living in the same community might have different religions, most noticeable differences are slight.

So, in some way, for most people, religion is inherited part of one's identity. If you happen to have the luxury of being able to reflect on your life, then you might adopt another religion or develop your own set of beliefs. A majority of the world does not have that opportunity or luxury.

So, yes, while it's technically not racism, but it effectively is bigotry in most cases. I think one of the coolest things in western culture is to question authority and be willing to be introspective. I have personally learned a great deal, thru introspection and being open to at lease listening to ideas that are very different than my own. This, to me, is an awesome opportunity that freedom of speech and not silencing dissenting opinion offers us as a society.

But what has become commonplace through the umbrella "free" speech is not the introspective discussions, but it's basically now our right to attack others whose opinions, beliefs (even inherited labels like religion) differ from us. Sure we have the right to free speech, even to offend.

I deleted the rest of the comment before posting it. I realized that the analogy I was making could have sounded like blaming the victims of Charlie Hebdo for what happened. That's wrong, so I chose not to express it. I technically would have been OK, but it's not the right thing to do.

Expressing views that will obviously polarize an entire section of population, and knowingly doing so for clicks, views, ads, or whatever, is short sighted and leave us with more negativity and intellectually worse off as a society.
> I have a feeling that this kind of rhetoric ... has a name.

Correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door-in-the-face_technique
> Can you name an attack on the Western world in the last 30 years that didn't involve the Wahabist / Salafi extremist sect of Muslim?

The first example that came to mind was the Unabomber - last attack was 1995, and he was explicitly opposing the technology-rich western world.

A simple google search for "terrorist attacks not muslim" brought up: http://www.loonwatch.com/2010/01/terrorism-in-europe/

"only 6% of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil from 1980 to 2005 were carried out by Islamic extremists."

"In fact, a whopping 99.6% of terrorist attacks in Europe were by non-Muslim groups; a good 84.8% of attacks were from separatist groups completely unrelated to Islam. Leftist groups accounted for over sixteen times as much terrorism as radical Islamic groups. Only a measly 0.4% of terrorist attacks from 2006 to 2008 could be attributed to extremist Muslims."

I don't see where you get that scenario for. The $2m would be to get him to give up the company, whether or not they intended to take the product further, on the basis that he presumably expected some return on it. It's a hiring bonus. I know people who gotten hiring bonuses well in excess of that without having a company or product to use to justify it.

But in any case: It comes in addition to a salary if they hire him, whether or not the $2m would be paid up front or in tranches, and if they genuinely wanted the product, not to hire him, he'd expect to be able to still earn a salary. In fact, I'd argue that he'd expect to be able to increase his income potential: He'd have a Google acquisition to put on his resume.

"(And no, not everything in economics -- let alone economic policy proposals -- has an overwhelming consensus behind it, but there are definitely some things, like free trade...)"

I've been reading most of the comments in this thread with a kind of silent horror, but I think yours clarifies the issue.

The fact that there is a large gap between the imagined systems in place and the actual systems in place. So called "Free Trade" is largely a farce as it is purported to be, and the reality is something much different. That you would claim there is "overwhelming consensus" on "free trade" just strengthens my point.

Here's what Chomsky has to say about "Free Trade".

"Nobody in the corporate world or government takes free trade seriously. The parts of the economy that are able to compete internationally are primarily the state-subsidized ones: capital-intensive agriculture, high-tech industry, etc.

The government has the public pay for research and development and provides a state-guaranteed market for waste production. If something is marketable, the private sector takes it over. That system of public subsidy and private profit is what is called free enterprise.
Source: What Uncle Sam Really Wants, by Noam Chomsky, p. 13 , Jan 13, 1991 "

The same holds for the rest of the discussion here. People want to talk about Capitalism, or Marxism, or any number of other ideological economic ideas as if they exist in their ideological form, while they obviously do not. Not only that, but that they actively exploit the misunderstanding of their form as a sort of PR move. I don't think half of the people speaking in this thread have any sort of solid understanding of such things. Too much time spent understanding the textbook academic view and not enough time spent understanding the pragmatic, complex, and nuanced view of reality.

The mass proliferation of telcom wifi networks could help if they are willing to sell the location data, but I don't see how Apple could reasonably know where the access points I see with SSID Holly_guest or TS-Dlink are located to use it as a trilateration point.
I really don't feel that way about my Android smartphone. Mobile operating systems are an experience as far from the console experience of freedom as one can get.

There's a crucial difference. Acquihires are typically at a much higher price, one reason being that other investors often need to be taken care of for the founder to leave on good terms.

Reread my posting: "my mom was an RN"

She quit that career when she was pregnant with me, the eldest of 4, in 1960.

My relationship with those doctors ended when I went to college in 1979, and my family transitioned out of that business in the early '80s. So except what we read, and learn from and experience with our doctors, we're as out of touch with the modern medical scene. For that matter, since I'm disabled, and my parents are old, we're all on Medicare, which has it's own weird rules.

So, no front row seat.

I would say "nice try", except for the epic failure in reading comprehension in your rush to DISQUALIFY me.

It actually goes both ways. In fact, some start-up people welcome this kind of approaches, because they can turn around and show potential investors/employees that "we are validated by Big Names at Google, come and join us". Hell, I've seen this first hand and it was not even an email, just a passing compliment from some reasonably "big name".

So it's all a game, don't hate the players, hate the rules. It makes it hard to know when someone is legit though. I think that's one reason why investors are over reliant on their networks, as the signal/noise ratio is too low in SV. "Fake it till you make it" is the motto.

However, I don't think I can complain too much. Without all the hypes, we wouldn't have this favorable job market. Not sure how long it's going to last, but at least it's good for now.

A lot of recruiters at Google are temps and will lie through they're teeth in order to get candidates interested.

Google still has a reputation of being an amazing workplace. This, however, is becoming less and less true. Just last week Victoria Lease resigned after months of sexual harassment without any consequence for the perpetrators.

There are much better places to work for then Google these days.

>Present OSes have security models rooted in the multi-user needs of workstations and servers in the 1970s and 80s, back when the Internet was kind of a walled garden and security risks consisted mostly of students and kids playing around.

Okay, what security model do you propose then? I'm curious because I don't see a security problem here. No OS security was bypassed, there was no OS bug that was exploited. This is what happened - The user downloaded a file and installed an application.

In your previous post you mentioned terrible permission separation and application isolation - I don't see how its connected to the problem.

It seems like you want it to be so that malware applications can be installed by any user without the system suffering any consequences. You can't achieve that goal without also crippling regular applications that legitimately might want to do everything that a malware application does.

I currently carry a number of types of insurance for personal and business liability. I have, as yet in my long years of having the insurance, never had a claim made against it. I would suggest speaking with your insurance agent and seeing what is available. I honestly can't remember all of my business liability insurances but the one most of my clients who care for proof of insurance ask for is E&O (Errors and Omissions). I pay about $450 a year for the entire company through Farmers Insurance which covers $5,000,000 in liability. I also strong suggest to most people an Umbrella Liability policy. I carry $2,500,000 in personal Umbrella Liability which covers and whole lot of different circumstances and I pay $72 a year for it.

Again, I have never had anyone make a claim against any of it, and in a lot of ways it's just for my own peace of mind.
As for monitoring there are plenty of tools to do that. You have bigger problems if you expect your services to go down often.

Yes, even in your monolithic app, you probably used some tooling to monitor it.
But now that single service being monitored has multiplied into 10-20 services being monitored.

Nobody expects their services to go down, but if you don't plan for it, then that means you haven't thought about high availability or disaster recovery enough.
The most straightforward way is to apply to large companies and make yourself so impressive a candidate that when you get to "Yes" you can negotiate relocation (if they don't just flat out offer it). Usually these companies will just consider it par for the course that you'll be helped with relocation if they hire you.

The next best way is to check out organic hiring posts written by actual hiring managers, not HR or recruiters, and email them directly. What I mean by organic is the job post is not HR'd and is accessible. Most posts in Who's Hiring are like this. You can filter the jobs which offer relocation using hnhiring.me or simply email the ones that interest you directly.

I think the key point is that knowing the right thing to do is more important that asking for permission. Thinking this way puts you in charge of your own life and the consequences of your actions.

It's an algorithm that leads you to check that you actually DO know the right thing, before you take action. Crucial distinction here: that's education, not permission. It's the difference between asking "can I change this thing?" and "why is this thing the way it is?" Or "can you help me think through a new idea?"

Too often, asking permission is a just way of transferring responsibility and therefore blame--a CYA maneuver. "I was just doing what I was told," can be a convenient excuse, but not really a good way to grow personally.
